    Hello everyone.
    i have a 25 second sd composition in wich i used some .psd file at 4208*2360 pixel.
    When i rendered out it takes about 12 hours!!!
    Obviously also in ram preview it takes a very long time!!!
    I try to precomposed all the .psd file but nothing changed.
    Someone can help me?
    sorry for my imperfect english i’m from italy.
    tnx in advance.

    So your final comp, the one that you rendered, is 4208×2360? If so, your problem is that your comp is just very big. Each frame has 9,930,880 pixels. Compare that to NTSC DVD footage: 720×480 = 345,600 pixels. A quick bit of maths would suggest that if your comp was smaller it would render out almost 29 times faster, in about 41 minutes, which sounds a bit more realistic. Is there any particular reason why you need such a huge video? If there is, you may have to live with the render time.

    Do you have a render heavy effect (e.g. CC force motion blur, fractal noise) applied to footage at that high res? You may have to provide more info on the setup of your comps.

    no effects, just a camera that fly trough the high res footage and motion blur enabled.
    but also if i try to turn off the motion blur the render time rest impossible.

    It sounds like it could be a high demand render. Apologies that I can’t be any more help. It seems like it might just be a case for an overnight render…
