  help: motion paths lead to slow response time.

  Posted by Joris Bergmans on January 17, 2009 at 12:35 pm

  I recently bought a new system and finally installed CS4 to test some things.

  Everything works fine and fast, but if I want to select and transform a layer in the viewer, there’s an unworkable delay in my actions, even if it’s an empty 1k composition with only a simple shape layer. This does not happen happen if I select or transform a layer in the layer panel.

  As this delay only happens when objects are animation, I found out the problem is solved when I switch off motion paths in the edit > preferences menu. In the past I had my motion paths always visible up to a minimum of 8 keyframes, and this rarely caused (notable) delays or problems.

  As my new system is a theoretically a huge step forward, I don’t understand how this can be.

  my new system is:
  -Vista Home premium 64-bit
  -Intel Core 2 quad CPU q9400 @ 2.66 Mhz 2.67 Ghz
  -8gb DDR2 ram
  -ATI Radeon 4850 1 gb
  -After Effects CS4

  my old system is:
  -XP home 32-bit
  -Intel Pentium IV FSB800 2.8 GHz
  -512 DDR400 ram
  -MSI Geforce FX*5600 TD 256 mb
  -After Effects CS2

  Any help is welcome!
  Thank you!
