Hi Guy’s and Girls how are you all doing,

Dont no what happend, but as said i sstarted from scratch with the original bought trailer. And now AFX is doing “normal” it doesnt takes 10min to render 10 sec, now its just 3/4 min what is in my case “”normal speed”” due my pc specs. and also rendering in render Que is oke at normal speed, just as i am used of afx.

Workflow is just fine, adjusting keypoints is alsno no problem.
Yippppiieee

But i had a another question, since i am already here :P:P
I am adjusting everything from scratch so.. each time i adjust a keypoint or so… and i want to see how it looks i have to ramprevieuw it, but it start the whole time from second 0. That is oke beachause i want to see it from the start, but wat i dont want is that if i changes someting one say the 6sec a keypoint, i dont want that whats been already renderd out (the first 5 sec in this case)to render again, even i didn’t made changes there??
Isnt there some thing that AFX can remember what he already renderd out so it doens’t has to render each time from beginning??

Does it makes sence my question??
It time consuming.. and more becaese my pc isnt that fast.

Thanks again!!!

[Anilio Sweet]

Thank you all for the motivation and kind words.
I’ll do my best to work this out and will let you know what final product will look.

Thank you in advance

Anilio

Thanks…

but i think i wil make it from scratch… dont see to change 24 comps… i know still have to do it even from scratch…. but just dont know what happend that it takes 17hours.. to render… but thanks for all the help…. i really had it with this…. i woud make 100 bucks with this..i am a amateur.. but with al those problems.. no thanks…. it took me 3 day’s and still no progresss… i just have to acklowledge that i am just not good enough for this and my laptobs specs cant handlle this!!

Manny many Thanks any way !!!

AE doesn’t care about the file size or compression. When AE reads an image, it stores it in memory in an uncompressed image buffer, so the pixel dimensions are the only thing that affect the amount of memory it requires. A 2480×3508 layer at 8bpc (with no effects) will require 33.2 MB of memory per frame. A 1920×1080 frame only requires 7.9MB, so scaling images down to the lowest possible raster size before bringing them into AE (or using lower-res proxies) can improve performance.

Thank you i’ve done it and there is a litlle improvement

[Anilio Sweet] “What is the ” right” format for using in AFX when working with image?”

There is no “right” image format — any of the support import formats will work in same way.

OKE

As to your performance issues, 2GB is almost impossibly small for HD work, and I assume that this extreme memory limitation is the source of your performance issues.

Let’s confirm a few things:

* You have rebooted your computer recently
(yes, if you mean restarting )
* AE is the ONLY application you’ve got running
Yes, some times IE/Firefox is also open, but it doesnt’t
seems to be a diffrent when its open or not
* Multiprocessing is OFF
YEs

It’s been a while now since I’ve used CS3, so please pardon me if I don’t get these names exactly right, but what are your “Maximum memory usage” and “Maximum RAM cache sizes” set to in Preferences > Memory & Cache? Decreasing the maximum RAM cache size may help free up some memory for AE while rendering, at the expense of the length of your RAM previews and image caches.

I dont really understand if you mean this :
AFX hase 1.19 ram (it wont get higher) and i left before o.25 ram
for other applications
I’have change that now into 0.9 ram for other app, and the 1.19
left for AFX doesnt changes it still the same value..
IT indeed decrease the lengt, because now i only can make e ram
preview of 27sec and before it was 40 sec full…

You can also try editing the secret preferences: hold the Shift key while you click Edit > Preferences > General. You should now be able to select the Secret menu. You can set AE to purge RAM every few frames. This decreases performance when more RAM is available, but my increase performance if you’re running into RAM constraints.”

Yes i allready had done this

Well with al these changes it is al little faster but stil it took
45min to ram previeu the 27sec , so that is not good on a quatere.

[Walter Soyka] “[Anilio Sweet] “ive tried that one already but it just changin ! of the dimesion
if i change te other one, the one i changed before is goin back to original size”

The script maintains aspect ratio, so it will only work with an input of a single dimension.

You need to both scale and crop, since you are going from 16:9 to 4:3, so you will have to deal with the aspect ratio difference somehow, either by nesting your 16:9 comp within a 4:3 comp, or by scaling the comp to the appropriate height and then changing its horizontal dimensions to crop off the sides.

In either case, you may need to reposition elements if they were not originally 4:3 safe.

THANKS I THINK I WILL MAKE THE TRAILER FROM SCRATS..it will be much easer and then from te start i wil make alll comps fisrt pal 720×567

[Anilio Sweet] “wel suddely i noticed that my vieuw was looking verry verry sharp and good on quarter of my image< so wonderd if this is looking soo good how will it look if i put it on full image>>> and guess what?
my comp vieuw totaly changd and it looked edgy< text wasn:t good readble and not sharp and i thougt heyyy this wat it normally looks if i put i one a quarte size??? but now its on fullsize>>>”

If your view looks sharp at quarter-res, you are probably viewing it at 25% zoom. Viewing at full quality and scaling down to less than 100% may over-sharpen the image. If you’re viewing at full, set the zoom to 100%.”

YOU ARE TOTALLY RIGHT, THANKS AGAIN

[Anilio Sweet]

Thanks<

ive tried that one already but it just changin ! of the dimesion
if i change te other one, the one i changed before is goin back to original size>>>… wel i try to do diffrent things.

Ted another questions
i noticied some thing strang with my afx program, i told before rendering is going to slow and takeni 17hours for 40 sec. and ramprevieuw for 10 sec with no fx enabled is taking !) min on A quarte SIZE.

wel suddely i noticed that my vieuw was looking verry verry sharp and good on quarter of my image< so wonderd if this is looking soo good how will it look if i put it on full image>>> and guess what?
my comp vieuw totaly changd and it looked edgy< text wasn:t good readble and not sharp and i thougt heyyy this wat it normally looks if i put i one a quarte size??? but now its on fullsize>>>

strange>> it looks like it switched???? but ramprevieuw isn”t faster now… AND RENDERING WITH RENDERQU is still taking to much time !) sec en its almost 25 MIN PAST AND IVE PUT the render quality on third??

any suggestens???

[Anilio Sweet]

Hi Ted,

Thanks for the info, unfortunally i dont have te script
Or it only has these options :

Change render location
Covert selected properties
Find and replace
Render and email
Scale compesition
Scale selected layers
Smart import
Sort layers by in point

Is it possible i could downlaod it somwhere??

[Anilio Sweet]

Hi Walter,

Thanks for the input, i really dont know if this could be te problem,ore part of the problem.
Before i used the new images i used the older one… en they are in size 2480×3508 png and they ar aproxximate between 500 and 800kb per page, do you think this could be a problemn, im sizeing them down to compsize 1980×1080 ??

I”ve now replaced them with te right images, and they are about 2000×1700 but they are jpeg and there weigth is about 1/1.5 mb
Should i change them to smaller / compsize format??
What is the ” right” format for using in AFX when working with image?
For now i just need them in te image, wond adjust them , just tos no coller correction or FX..

But the problem is… that even with the first png image when i renderd a ram previeuw it took 10min for 10 sec and when making the first project 3 months ago it did’nt took so long.

Sooo i have no cleu.. but all help is welcome…

[Anilio Sweet]

Thanks for all the info,

I already have done what most of you mentioned.

En i really dont no what the “thing” is thats gooing wrong or diffrent compare with previous render.

Point is.. something is good wrong… evenwithout all the fx and i really mean everything disabled, with only the BG and the magazine without no effects or camera… it takes almost 10 min to ram previeuw 10sec. that is not good… ii will try to only have the just the render window open.

I will alsoo try opening another project… to see if somethings has change…

Thanks any way
Blessings 2 aLL

[Anilio Sweet]

Thanks again…

But have done all those things already, ofcourse with the final render i need everything on but 17hours is a little to much i think. But i could live with that if that was the only thing, i would render it out in the night.

But even with al the fx disabled and only a BG and the magazine it takes 10 min to render a ram previeuw of 10 sec…..
and this is what’s bothering me more becaus this is no way of working.

Do you know by chance if a usb with readyboost will help improof my performance because i am verry low on memory only 2gb??

Thanks
