It will definitely hang on a frame… sometimes for minutes until I navigate away at which point it may render a few frames… or more. I don’t believe it is just updating the view as the entire render stalls until I switch apps.

there are probably more relevant details: Using an external (thunderbolt) render drive (RAID 5 formatted QNAP or a 12TB Raid0).

At first I didn’t know what was going on, but now it is pervasive enough that others in my office know the “trick”…

I’ll try to monitor activity monitor at those moments to see what is getting the cpu usage.

A lot of these are rendering out of AE with a Premiere Pro dynamic linked sequence… so that may have something to contribute? Like I said, i’ll keep monitoring, but the recent ones have included A PPro dynamic linked sequence..

Petros….

All I can say is DUH. Thank you for reminding me of that. I was totally overcomplicating a really simple solution.

Maybe it is all the long days recently….

Thanks again,
Dave
