Hi,
So Im new to after effects ( been using it for 18 months) but i understand the basics and more advanced stuff. What i dont understand is the problem im having rendering this tutorial:
https://library.creativecow.net/articles/eriksson_emanuel/sand.phpI followed it exactly, except i am using a 1920×1080 background. Its wants to take 1330 hours to render a 4 second piece. after effects is also using hardly any cpu time. the station is a 2.93 i7 imac with 8gb ram.
Its does the same thing on the quad core mac pro.
its not settings because i just created, render and 1080 comp with particle world, it rendered, maxed cpu while rendering.
all opengl is off.
can anyone shed some light on this?
thanks,
Danny -

particle playground is not natively multi-threaded, nor can it use ae’s ‘render multiple frames simultaneously’ option (as most other effects will), so any comp’s that use that effect will render more slowly on multi-core machines… approximately at the speed of a single core.
there are a few other effects that can do this. you might check out some of these other tutorials here (and i’m sure you can find many more on the web):
