  • RAMM RAMM and MORE RAMM

    Ok so I have 7 gigs of RAMM in my Mac computer and I want to know if I can change the amount of RAMM that is used by After Effects to make it render faster. Anyone got an answer.

    OK, this should really be in the AE basics forum, but it’s simple – just adjust in your memory & cache prefs. Also to really take advantage of your RAM make sure you’re running multiprocessing in AE CS3 or 4. Or if you’re still using AE7 then buy Nucleo to do thew same job.

    You can use a maximum of 3GB RAM per core on a Mac (as opposed to 2GB on Win/Vista32, 3 with 3GB/switch or 4GB with Win/Vista64)

    After Effects is still only a 32-bit application, therefore the only way to maximise your extra RAM is when preview/rendering to supply any extra cores/processors you have…using the method I mentioned above.
