Render Speed
Hey all, render settings question.
I just upgraded from 4GB 1067MHz RAM to 8GB but am not seeing any render speed improvement.
Running on an iMac with 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and OS X 10.6.3 using AE CS5
The multiple frames render setting is allotting .75GB per core for BG operations.
Any ideas as to why it’s still kind of slow?
Thanks,
Rob -

[Robert Till] “The multiple frames render setting is allotting .75GB per core for BG operations.”
From Memory (RAM) usage in 64-bit After Effects:
RAM Allocation Per Background CPU Specifies the minimum amount of RAM that will be allocated to each background process, each of which runs on its own CPU (processor core). Setting this value lower can allow more CPUs to be used simultaneously with a limited amount of RAM. However, if you set this value too low for the kinds of frames that you are rendering, then the background processes will fail to render frames at all, and only the foreground process will be used to render frames. For example, you should not set this value to low value of 0.75 GB if you are rendering frames with the pixel dimensions of high-definition television or digital cinema.

I’ve written several documents about performance and memory and processor resources in After Effects. They’re collected here.
