Render fast question
Posted by Hanna Dean on June 8, 2016 at 2:27 amIs there a way to render fast with with effects on.
it dont matter how many effects can be 1 to 100 the question is what other way is there to make this fast.
for example any method to load via cmd + ffmpeg.
or some tool that is out , or maybe render each layer 1 by 1 to make it faster rather then render all layer at once.Walter Soyka replied 9 years, 11 months ago 4 Members · 12 Replies -

June 8, 2016 at 7:11 amBesides upgrading your hardware there are things you can do, but that depends on the project.
Rendering passes can help. For example you can apply a motion blur pass and color grading after you render other effects first, instead of trying to render all with motion blur and grading.Tudor \”Ted\” Jelescu

June 8, 2016 at 10:39 amTell me your system specs again?
We have some big dual-CPU multicore workstations with gobs of RAM, so we use CC 2014 for all our rendering. Ae CC 2014 was before the preview re-write, and still had the old multiprocessing feature, which can launch multiple background instances of the renderer in order to work on multiple frames at the same time, distributing the load over multiple cores in your system.

June 8, 2016 at 5:50 pmNot sure if you know this, but you can also make proxies of your composition too.

June 8, 2016 at 8:15 pmi have and i have top end machine , and i am asking because it dont take nothing to ask or hurt to ask ,
am trying to find out what after effects has to offer when it comes to rendering , i seen multi machine render this is good.
i seen online render service.am looking for another way plugin or something that wil speed up render in timeline specially when added effects, adobe says turn off layers with effects when not in used or when trying to work on new layer , erm am trying to find a way to keep all effects on and have make the timeline work smooth rather then wait for it to load frames.
maybe their is ways someone will know , only if there was a tool to seperatly just process each layer 1 by 1 rather then all of them at once this is what causes the slow down.

Ae is in the middle of an architectural overhaul. The application was over 20 years old and until very recently, it still relied on a lot of old assumptions about how computers are built and what’s necessary for performance.
We are starting to see some of the benefits from the re-architecture work in Ae CC 2015, but it’s still obviously a long way off from where I think we all expect it to be. It’s painful to preview something and see Ae crawl through it while using like 7% of my available CPU resources today, but the more modern architecture Adobe is working on now should enable the first real performance gains in many years in future releases.
[hanna dean] “only if there was a tool to seperatly just process each layer 1 by 1 rather then all of them at once this is what causes the slow down.”
The caching in Ae is pretty complex and does this to an extent for you.
You can do it manually via proxies as Soham mentioned. There’s a description of how to use proxies in the documentation that I linked you to.
