previewing Speed
Sorry for posting this but I have searched through the posts and I am not able to find any good solutions so I am hoping someone can assist me here. I am running a g5 duo core 2 ghz, 5.5 gigs of ram, after effects 7, grid iron pro. I have a ATY,RadeonX1900 256 mb card.
I still am having slow previews. Is this due to my video card being 256?
I would like to have much faster previews, without having to render in half or quarter resolutions.Also is there any good suggests on how to maximize my AE memory settings?
Thanks for any help.

With multiple cores/processors you should be looking at your Nucleo Pro settings to improve previewing speeds as the majority of the load is on your CPU. Unfortunately, I don’t use Nucleo Pro so I can’t give you specifics, but I believe you want to distribute your RAM for each of your processing cores as evenly as possible.

It may be your video card . . . check the Adobe site for Open GL 2 card / After Effects compatability:

Maybe it’s the amount of video card memory, the speed of the RAMDAC’s, youre hard drive speed, the number of apps running at the same time, the number of effects applied to your composition. Lots of factors involved.
