  • What [ Windows ] computer works best with Adobe AE?

    Posted by Tanya Lebroy on November 6, 2015 at 5:28 pm

    Hello. I wanted to know what works best for Adobe AE because I am on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit toshiba sattellite L775d 4098MB RAM, but I don’t think it’s working well for it because every time I render my movie, it renders messed up (25% of the audio, then stops, then turns black).

    Also does anyone know if I save my project to my external hard drive, will it work? I’ve tried many times, and I’m about to just give up.

    Hi Tanya,

    I think you are trying to export the RAM preview.
    You need to select the composition you would like to render, then hit ‘CTRL+M’ on your keyboard, this will bring you to the ‘Render queue’ where you can set up file name and format, then you need to click the ‘Render’ button.

    I hope it helps, contact me at https://iwansfactory.com/ if you need more help, please!

    It’s at the point where it keeps crashing. 😐

    Don’t you get any error message?
    Can you upload the project and send me a download link? Maybe through wetransfer.com
    If you send me the link through my site https://iwansfactory.com/ I get a notification

    You do not mention what version of After Effects you are running, but. . .

    4GB of system RAM is very low to run After Effects.
    I am guessing you are creating RAM previews and rendering media onto the same system drive and not outboard storage. If so, the onboard drive is (I believe) a 5400rpm drive on that laptop. Again, VERY slow for After Effects.

    From what I looked up, You are also running AMD chipsets, which I believe After Effects is not in love with.

    System:
    Dell Precision T7600 (x2)
    Win 7 64-bit
    32GB RAM
    Adobe CC 2014 (as of 7/2015)
    256GB SSD system drive
    4 internal media drives RAID 5
    Typically cutting short form from HD MP4 and P2 MXF.
