The same problem here. Glad to see, I am not the only one having the problem. Did you found the reason why? Cheers, David

Hi Walter

Thanks for your support!

To your questions:

01. Is there some effect coming in around that point in your timeline?

No, the pre rendered Sequence ist ProRes422HQ and it is all the same. The content has no influence on the problem.

02. I agree, but for this long sequence of 26minutes, it doesn’t seem to make a difference.

03. Multiprocessing: Either way with or without Multiprocessing, this problems appears. But I usually render without Multiprocessing. It doesn’t seem to be trustworthy, in my opinion.

04. Secret Settings: The settings used to be by “1000” Frames at the beginning, but I reduce it yesterday to try something else. I will put it back to 1000 Frames.

05. Prevent “AppNap” is not turned on.

My question is still the same: Why is the render speed so slow newly?
One month ago, when I bought the MacBook it started to render the sequence within 4 hours. Later on the render speed started to decrease. I thought it was the external 2TB thunderbolt LaCie HD. But then I realised, that the problem persists even working with all the files on the local SSD HD.

Thanks for your help! 😉

Cheers

Hi Dave

Thanks for your support. Yes, I’m running AFX 12.2 and OS X 10.9.2. Both are the newest one.
Multiprocessing is turned off.

Hi Mike

NewBlueFX and CoreMelt are plugins for Premiere or FCP but not for AFX.
And your Idea to make a comp out of all the takes is very good, but I will still
have to add more work on top and the workflow wouldn’t work as I need it.

But thank you very very much for your support.

All the best

David

Thanks Dan!

So easy! Amazing. Thanks!

Thank you very much Tudor. This was the right way with FreeForm. I have to admit that I didn’t knew about this new Plugin in CS5. Kindly

Dear Dan

Yes, it is working. Thanks very much for your support. But the result was due of the impossiblity of edit the kerning at the apostroph not usable. So I had to do it manually.

Best wishes

Dear Dan

I have to confess, that my expressions skills are to limited to implement your expression in the right place.
This was the reason, I asked you if you had a look into the afx file i sent to you.
thank you veeeery much for your help

Hi Dan. Thanks for your soon replay. I tried your expression placing it at the Text Source and tested on several ways like replacing all the “n” through 1000 (with and without apostrophe) but It’s not working. “Unterminated string constant Expression disabled” is what After Effects tells me. Can you please explain me, where did I go wrong?

It’s quite weak I can not set the kerning with different values, since the apostroph need less space than a zero. But ok, I guess I can live with it.

Now regarding of Spacing. I don’t use spacing as such, since every line is on a different layer. Look at he script underneath: i’ve been editing the value of “2500” by hand, so that the layer underneath has a value of 2700, 2900 and so on. But the script “thisComp.layer(index – 1)” doesn’t work

Did you opened the sequence I sent? I guess you will see quite fast what I mean.
Thanks very much
David

x=comp("MasterController").layer("Null 1").effect("Slider Control")("Slider") + 2500;
range=300; //range when Z begins
center=thisComp.width*0.5; //center of comp on X axis
distance=x-center;
Zdist=400;

if (x <= center ){
Zpos=ease(center+distance,center-range,center,value[2],value[2]-Zdist);
}else{
Zpos=ease(center+distance,center,center+range,value[2]-Zdist,value[2]);
}

[x,value[1],Zpos]

Problem (as far as I know) SOLVED: Place the plist (preferences) file at the desktop and restart AfterEffects. Now its up and running. Hope it will stay for a long time this way. Best Wishes .D
