Large Comps = slow renders :( – any advice?

[Tim West]

Thanks everyone for the replies!

Unfortunately there’s no way round my long render 🙁 – but even as a pretty experienced After Effects user there were some tips in here that will help me in the future (especially shift + ram previews).

Thanks again,

T

.. and unless they’ve changed something, AE prefers it when res matches magnification when RAM previewing.

(i.e. preview at 1/4 res and 25% mag, or 1/2 res and 50% mag.)

There are a bunch of tips for improving performance (including workflow efficiency) on this page: “Improve performance”.
