Rendering in After Effects
I am new to after effects and i’m just trying out a few animations that I have created.. they work perfectly and everything but when I render in Quick time it takes hours..
for instance it took 7 hours to render a 13 second animation.. but only in quick time.. all other file times take no time at all.
here is a screen shot of all my settings..
if the picture is too small here is the url:

Where can I find the Open GL settings? I have not messed with them so whatever the default setting is, that is what the setting should be set on.
are there any tips that you can give me for the rendering in after effects? I can use the adobe encoder software for the final render, but like I said i’m new to after effects and had no idea it wasn’t optimal.
Thank you very much for your time!

None of the video has been imported, I created it in after effects so that shouldn’t be the problem.
I did find the open gl option, which is on by default. It has sped up the rendering a lot.. it only took about 45 minutes to render 7 seconds of animation.
I have two more questions however,
1.) I’m just a little curious about what open gl is/does?
2.) when I render in quick time the progress bar completes in fifths. The current frame rendering in the top left hand also completes 5 times. (once the counter reaches “Frame: 200/200” it will reset to “Frame: 1/200” and continue counting up to 200 until it has been completed 5 times.)
Thank you very much for your help once again!

1) – open GL is an api language to talk to gfx cards, providing accleration etc. similar to directx but faster and cross platform
2) I haven’t used after effect in a while, but I would assume it’s because you have it set some to do 5 passes, it will go through and render it 5 times then compare and do some other things to get the best image possible, similarly to how when you compress a video you normally don’t only do one pass as theres likely to be a computational error which may show in the video
hope this helps.
