Not Rendering
I have a 4sec comp, which i’m trying to render.
When i go to render my CPU is already running at 100% (Thats even before i clicked on render) My cursor is changing from white to black then back to white and so on…I have used Particle Playground, and have been told that it’s render hungry.. But its only 4secs! Surley i should see somthing on the render line as i’ve left it for 2hours and still nothing. After Effects kind of crashes. I have to open task manager to get it to close down…
Any ideas?

Hi Dave,
All the files are fully created within After Effects. The comp size is 4sec.
I think this may be part of the problem… They are 720 x 576.
4 layers They look like this:-1 text
2 Adjustmant layer
3 wind
4 text this is a copy of number one. This is the one with the particle playground effect.
There is no motion blur light or 3d (I’m not that advanced yet! here’s wishing! lol)
The only other effect i have is on the first text layer which is fast blur set at Blurriness 2.It’s really wierd, just opened the comp and checking what i’ve used and i cannot do anything with it… The CPU is at 100%, and yet i’ve done nothing.. Do you think its rendering in the background?
If you want i can send you the file is only 182kb. (obviously i need an address)
just so you know the effect im trying to do.. Its a text blowing away like sand effect..
Cheers Dave

ae can’t render in the background… nucleo pro can do that, but it would need multiple processors to do so…
i think i’d reboot, then check the cpu activity and see what’s happening prior to opening ae… if it seem to be fine, then try opening that project and rendering again…
if you still have probelms, i would start looking at some setting… disable opengl in the preview preferences, set memory and cache to original settings, disable multiprocessing (if you have cs3 and multiple processors). you could just try trashing the preference file (search for a file called ‘adobe after effects 8.0 preference’).
