Comp taking too long to render?
I have an AE Template that I’ve edited for a project, and I’m concerned with the Render times. The Footage is all 1080P. The project contains comps for HD, as well as a couple of SD. My final needs to be an SD clip, so I’m rendering out one of the SD comps. The comp is only 26 seconds, but it takes a little over 1 hour to render out a lossless AVI. I laso have Nucleo Pro 3 installed, and rendering out with NP3 takes a little over 3 hours. My Memory settings follow this guideline…

OK…thanks Dave. I’ve never used AE much for this sort of work. Mainly keying and rotoscoping out wireless mic belt packs and such, and this just seemed like too long a render time for a 26 sec comp.
I do have version 10.0.2.4, which should be the latest, unless my update function is broken.
I did drop the $$$ on Nucleo Pro when they went 64 bit, but I swear I can’t see much difference. Oh well, live and learn.

Nucleo Pro was just discontinued.
It was a very cool product a couple versions ago — and spec render was a really interesting idea — but I found that more recent versions caused more trouble than they were worth.
I started using Lloyd Alvarez’s amazing BG Renderer script [link] some time ago, and I haven’t looked back.
