Hi Adam.

Thank you for replying.

I’m using R15 and Team render. I’ve tested the system on 4 laptops to see how it would work, and I think its perfect for the job.

I also consulted one of our tech supporters and we did a render where we monitored the macine.
It never used more than 8GB of ram for the job so as you are saying 16 GB should be sufficient.

Thanks again,

David

First of all, thank you for trying to assist me.
I posted my problem at Elements forum as well and someone told me that Element has a limitation of approximately 8 lights pr. scene.
So i will do a work around and probably not use Element for that kind of job in the future…

Ok i managed to recreate 8 ligths and when I create number nine all lights go off.
I tried to work in 8bpc 16 bpc and 32 bpc, and I tried to lower all lights to 100 intensity, and disabled the falloff, but nothing helps…
Unfortunately my timezone tells me that I have to go to sleep now.
I have a similar computer at my office and will try to open the project there, first thing tomorrow.
This is due wednesday so hopefully I will solve it before my boss explode…

I will gladly answer all of the questions, but first:
I tried to recreate the lights (some of them at least)and it works fine now.
I made a copy of the timeline and the old version still doesn’t work.
I’ll recreate all of the lights now and see if it will work.

I tried to delete all Element layers and just having my normal layers active with accept lights on, but nothing happens.
I’ve updated my Nvidia driver as well as AE but nothing seems to be working.
Could it be that AE have a limitation to the numbers of lights in a scene?
