ah…where have you been Walter 🙂 thanks for the info

Well, i just installed FCPX and there’s is no Prores export in PP and AE.

If your Bluray will end up being replicated, don’t even bother with encore, it’s still buggy and definitely not 100% blu ray compliant. At the moment you don’t have that many choices when it comes to professional bluray compliant apps. It pretty much boils down to Blu Print, DoStudio and Scenarist.

once the comp is in the queue, there’s a box where you can change the frame rate..and that’s where i changed it to 23.976 and as i said the end result looked the same as if i was to change the frame rate at the interpret stage as suggested.

Thanks Dave….I have a few more questions:

1- So what you’re saying is AE conforms differently when you do it in the interpretation stage or comp stage or render stage ???

2- I tried your way by interpreting a true 24p clip as 23.976 then put it in a 23.276 comp then render out as 23.976

or

Interpret as original 24p, put it in a 24 p comp then render out as 23.976..

End result looked exactly the same!

@Dave

I’m not sure if you’ve read my entire thread as i’m aware of the audio problem and mentiomned that i will conform in Protools. All these video apps (After Effects, Cinema tools, Premiere, FCP….) can’t properly conform audio.

Anyways, regarding your suggestion, why would you want to interpret the DPX sequence as 23.976 since it is true 24. Isn’t the proper way is to interpret as 24p then drop it in a 23.976 comp ??? thx

After enabling multiprocessing, no changes.

I’ll try the other suggestions and report back.

As i mentioned in one of my reply, maybe this is just normal AE behavior on a Z800 with 24 GB ram.
i just find it borderline unaceptable for pro work. I can’t see myself doing client supervised gigs if i have to sit around and wait for preview everytime i make chages.

Nah, HDV is not the problem as DnxHD and Prores are not any faster.

Yes all the 10 layers has motion blur and 3D enabled

My quadro 4000 does not have the latest driver as the Z800 is also running Avid Symphony 6 and i gave it priority driver wise since i spend way more time in Avid as opposed to AE

I always render to DnxHD 220 besides lower Mbits rate does not yield faster rendering time.

Well, it seems like there’s not much i can do after reading all the comments and suggestions. Maybe this “slowness” is normal AE behaviour.

I do mostly on-line and mixing/sound design for long form doc and independent film. I getting more and more advertising and motion graphics work and i do most of it in AE.

I just installed Adobe Production Premium and all the Preferences is still at default.

I just find preview and rendering painfully slow.

For example i’m working on a 60 second promo for a client. Footage came from a Sony HDV (forgot which one). He off-line in FCP, i transfered it to Premiere CS6 linking to the original HDV mov. Things are pretty snappy in PP. Exported all the clips to AE.
My comp is basicall a 3D cam, a few solids, 10 pre-comp where each pre-comp is a movie clip + some psd layers, stereo mix. When i render the final comp to DnxHD 220 mmbits…it took 30 min! Ouch!!

Doing preview while working is also slow. Suggestions ??

same here, need to install CS 6 and Symphony 6 on my Z800/K3G. Any news ?
