AE7 much slower than 6.5

[Meskasiaurej]

same here

I get constant crashes something like 5-8 times per day. it get’s worse with long ram previews (timeline slider freezes time to time).
minimizing has lethal effect too. I guess it has something to do with memory…

but after all that I still use 7.0 because of it’s new interface. I just love the fact that they finally acknowledged that those thousands of flying windows wasn’t a good idea 🙂 I hope illustrator will get the same facelift in the upcomming version.

config:
dual Opteron64,
WinXP SP2

Hey Guys,

I too have the same problem. Right now, I can’t even render a 22 second project completely. Everytime I try, it crashes.

I have 4 GB RAM
512MB NVidia Quadro FX 4500 Graphic Card
And the latest Mac Dual Core computer.

Please help.

I know this is an older thread – but now that I’ve finally made the switch to 7.0, I’m noticing the same thing.

I’m on a mac G5 dual 2.0Ghz, with 2.5 GB RAM and a Radeon X800XT.

When I ram preview a simple animation (a set of 3 animating masks on solids) it plays at about 25fps (NOT realtime) in AE7 and at 30fps (realtime) in AE6.5. Same exact settings, apps running, etc. But AE7 is definitely slower on my machine – at least with RAM previews. I tried OpenGL and Adaptive res, etc – all with the same results. Any more info on this?

Thanks.
