    New ProAnimator project is acting painfully sluggish

    Posted by Terry Nahirny on February 7, 2009 at 3:22 am

    Hello,

    I’ve started a new logo project with 5 objects. I haven’t even started to animate the logo and it takes about 15 seconds to make any changes to anything on the file. I don’t know what is wrong and I won’t be able to animate it correctly if I can’t see it in real time. I’ve opened up a previous fully animated logo and it plays perfectly with no hickups or lag.

    MacBook Pro 2.4ghz Core 2 Duo
    4 GB Ram 10.5.6
    ProAnimator 4.5.1

    Any ideas on what might be going on?

    Tks,

    t.

    Hi Terry.

    Would you be able to send me your project file? I’d be happy to take a look.

    Send files to: matt@zaxwerks.com

    Thanks.

    No more painful sluggish!!

    Tks Matt for explaining that I had all my object preview settings set to high quality. I changed the all the object preview values to 3 and ProAnimator was back up to full speed. I kept all the final values to .01 for the final render -looked great.

    And tks for letting me know that Quicktime doesn’t show the full quality of the renders accurately.

    I sure would love to see an update for ProAnimator to utilize more than one cpu core. Waiting is tough when you’re wanting to create :).

    Tks again!

    t.
