    Hello,

    Can you share some tips or guidelines on setting up the MacPro and AE optimal performance? I attached my ActivityMonitor screenshots while rendering a project.

    some FX are not supported by multiprocessing… so if you aply the FX or Plugins, there is no more (multiprocessing).
    (sometimes it´s a expression that slows things down!)

    try an check this one :

    if you a willing to give some money to make AE faster, get a SSD as chash-drive, get more ram…

    but your screenshots looks good!

    AE don´t allway makes all cores @ 100 %!

    keep it up
    greetings!

    I concur with Stefan on buying more RAM.

    Also go through this article to know how to optimize performance of AE:
