Global performance cache rocks! Now, I am forced by my business to operate in two environments. I have a PC that has a massive nVidia card and the 16 gigs of ram and 4 fast drives. I get relly good performance there.

Then I sometimes have to use a 17″ MacBook Pro running Parralells and the graphics card isan ATI card. It has 16 gigs of ram, but windows can only use 8 gigs of it. I can legally use my copy of CS6 on both, but not at the same time. But it seems that I can only get either Mac or Windows licenses so, I have to run CS6 on the mac under Win7.

But, unless I am doing 3D, which is impossibly slow on the mac, I get pretty good performance. I just throw the resolution down to half and it works pretty good.

CS6 is really a sea change for the the suite.

I understand, it always has been. I once had Nucleo Pro which was an attempt to do what AE is doing now with multi frame rendering using multi copies of AE. It never worked very well either.

One of the problems is that the more they improve the preview renders the more demands we put on the software and the platform with larger files and more complex projects.

I and many of my associates do entire commercial projects completely in AE. It can become a challenge when trying to work out timing and often you have to render out the project to confirm the real timing and then make adjustments.

If this were a widely used application like facebbok, Microsoft oe Facebook, this fiasco would make national news.

Thanks, that is great information. I tried the 4/3 and got a tad better performence. It is strange, when I do 3D in AE 6, I get faster previews using the nVidia GPU.

I have maxed out the ram for this motherboard at 16 gigs. I have 8 cores, I assigned 4 cores to AE with 2 gigs each and left the remaining ram to other functions.

I had no idea about dynamic link! I had seen it, just ran a test, premier has to render it to be able to use it and that render is almost as long as just outputting the file.

I wonder if you could expand a bit on “editorial codec HD (such as ProRes or DNxHD)”

I don’t see those opetions in AE’s render format options. I saw a tutorial where the guy used a “Video Stream” from the export function, but I don’t see that in AE CS6 export.

It was one video that is 1080i. It was an uncompressed .avi. In the standard def world, .avi’s were less problematic.

I only have options for full, 1/2 and 1/4. 1/8 and 1/16 are greyed out.

Lately I have been changing to High Quality .h264 video out of after effects. For some reason I just can’t get decent reults with .mov files???

In the last few months I have been experiemtning with the best formats for HD. I do a LOT of After Effects work that I then render out to do final editing and post in Premiere Pro.
