SLOW RENDERING – I have tried eveything

[Roland R. kahlenberg]

For H264 renders, it’s best to use AME. AME provides for 2Pass VBR rendering while AE only allows for single pass VBR.

With your setup, I would have preferred a setup with 3 cores to AE and 1 to Other Apps. Leave 3 GBs of RAM to Other Apps and have 3GB of RAM per core for AE.

Are you applying any effects to the layer(s)?

Yeah there are tons of effects.
its effect heavy. Should I assume that it will take a couple of hours then?

Sure — long render times can be perfectly normal for effects-heavy comps.

However, effects-heavy comps can also be RAM-intensive comps, so you may want to watch the Resource Monitor (Win+R, then run “resmon”) to see if you’re constrained by the CPU or by RAM.

Also, there is no one “right” set of multiprocessing settings in a resource-constrained system. Different comps will have different RAM requirements, and thus benefit from different multiprocessing settings. Getting that right can be an art in and of itself.
