That makes sense. Thanks.

Given my specs, do you think I would benefit from the upgrade much?

I don’t know that echo would eat up much ram though (it might, but i don’t think so) but it can definitely eat up cpu time.

Oh that’s a good distinction to know!

Also, if I have a comp of 1240×720, and then scale it up to 1080, will AE then render it as a 1080 comp, instead of 720?

Thanks so much for answering all these questions!

OK good to know. Thanks! I’m going to just crop all the comps, though I’ll look into collapse transformations.

I also had another potential memory hog and had some subsequent questions about rendering:

I have a bunch of arrows that I wanted to run repeatedly, so I used the echo effect. I set it up correctly, but it was really killing playback performance so I took them out until I fixed the above problems. Since I have so little RAM for rendering, I was thinking of instead of using echo, just copy-pasting the layers inside the arrow precomps. So it would be the same effect, without using “echo”. But if I’m still running into render time issues, does pre-rendering precomps lower the render time for the main composition?

Hi,

I tried that, and variations there-of, but it doesn’t appear to work… 🙁

Thanks for the help. Wish there was some sort of fix, but oh well.
