  • Render fast, preview slow

    Posted by Damien Cote on July 10, 2018 at 1:21 pm

    Hello !

    I have a issue with my new PC and After Effect. I really don’t know why.

    I have a project with a very simple shape (a square), moving on my precomp (100×100 px). I put this precomp in an other comp and I dupplicate it a lot (100x). When I pre-render my project, it’s very very slow… like if my PC isn’t enought powerfull (it still a simple scene for this kind of computer !). But when I did real render, it’s very fast (the render takes few seconds when the pre-render takes minutes).

    Have you got an idea to fix that ?

    My PC :
    Intel Core i7-7700HQ CPU 2.80 GHZ
    RAM 8GO
    NVIDIA GTX 1070

    Thanks !

    Once something is previewed, Ae caches the results so that subsequent previews and renders are faster. This might be what you’re seeing with this example.
