Concerns over Rendering speed in AE7 in General – Your opinion please..
Hi All,
I have a P4 3.2G HT machine with 2GB RAM running Windows XP Pro. Plenty of HD space over 300 GB on several partitions
I am using AE7 Pro.
My fundamental question is the following:Does it really have to always take ages to render animations?
As a basic test:
I created a new project,
created a 5 seconds comp PAL D1/DV, Full resolution
added the Red Speed FFx Preset via Adobe Bridge i.e. File> Browse.Hit RAM preview and it took 53 sec to render this 5 secs project, although, Under Edit > Preferences > Memory and Cache I set:
The Maximum Memory Usage to 120% of 2GB
Maximum Ram Cashe size to 70% = 1.4 GB
Maximum Disk Cache Size to 2 GB on another partition.Is this normal?
Thanks for your feedback..
Regards
Max

There are many factors that determine rendering speed. For example, you didn’t specify what video card and if you are using OpenGL or any plug-ins or whether or not motion blur or frame blending are on. Is hyper-threading on and are you using Gridiron software’s Nucleo to take advantage of it?
Short animations might take seconds, minutes or hours to render.

Hi Jim,
Great reply. Thank you very much.
I have learnt a lot from your paragraph.
I have installed Gridiron software’s Nucleo and it has improved things when all other applications are closed.
I have purchased the great Total Training videos series and am very happy with my overall progres..
I still have a lot to learn but it is now a joy to sit in front of my system and see what I can come up with ;).Thanks again..
Max.
