Slowdown in Simple Composition (screenshot included)

I haven’t overclocked my CPU. My PC is a custom build and only a few weeks old but running solid. I think the CPU can go a bit over 4.0 GHz even at factory defaults when pushed to its limits, which obviously AE is doing for some reason. I have a great aftermarket cooler that could push an OC to at least 4.5 GHz (although people have clocked higher using the same CPU and cooler) and my system is well-ventilated so it’s not a heat issue.

The RAR of my Project is above, straight from the tutorial files. It includes a sample movie of what the finished product should look like.

As far as I can tell, AE is having trouble using cameras in conjunction with distant lights. As I increase the (z) value closer and closer to the tutorial-specified value of (z)-2000 AE gets increasingly annoyed and slows down until I literally have to force quit the program.

my friend i told you i have same processory and other parts same as you and i have not overclocked , by looking at yours ghz i can tell its been over clocked.

now running winrar low cpu intensive apps will not show the sign , but when using cpu intense apps then the real problem will show up and it has its about time you fix it or you wll never come to an end its not the app issue its your cpu being over clocked , go to toms hardware forum and tell them what your experiencing they wil tel u.

checked your project added camera no problems its fast il make yotube video so u can se.

Okay, let’s define “slow”.

What does it mean to you: “not instantaneous”? An hour per frame? Someplace in-between?

After Effects refuses to respond to any button presses, I put my cursor over buttons and there is no highlight, it stays like that indefinitely until I remove the camera layer. I can maybe manage to display a drop-down menu but it takes a good 30 seconds to do so. Windows says the program is not responding. Even hitting Undo takes 30 seconds before AE takes the camera layer off.

I didn’t OC my CPU, it’s factory unlocked. I have not touched any CPU settings, all I did was put it onto the PC and install Windows 10. I got it from NewEgg, it’s not a second-hand CPU or anything. If you’re saying it’s faulty that’s another issue altogether…

I don’t know how many times I have to say it; I have not overclocked my CPU. I have not changed any factory settings in my PC whatsoever or voided any warranties.

re install it se the effect of new changes..

It seems to be a bug. I made a composition with similar (but not exactly similar) settings and there was no slowdown. I even reused the assets from the tutorial. I just want to make sure that my CPU is interacting with AE in a healthy way and there is no hardware problem on my end…
