    After Effects keeps a cache of rendered frames. That’s the green bar that you refer to.

    When you make a change, After Effects recalculates (re-renders) the frames of the composition to accommodate that change.

    If there’s part of your composition that you’re done working on, then maybe you should consider pre-rendering it, so that After Effects doesn’t need to keep re-rendering it every time you make a change somewhere else.

    from “Pre-render a nested composition”:

    “If you have a nested composition that you do not expect to work on further, you can save time during each rendering operation by pre-rendering the nested composition into a movie and replacing the composition with the rendered movie. You can still modify the original nested composition, because it remains in the Project panel. If you make a significant change to the original nested composition, just render it again.”

    If a page of After Effects Help answers your question, please consider rating it. If you have a tip, technique, or link to share—or if there is something that you’d like to see added or improved—please leave a comment.
