Walter, both comments understood, thank you. Yes I can see what you mean, sorry if my replies sounded flippant, they weren’t meant to! Indeed the templates do have a lot of light effects and so on, so that does confirm your suggestions.

Hi Walter, and thank you also for your reply.

I will have a look at that link you provided shortly when I’ve finished the job I’m currently working on, thanks for that.

Incidentally, the processor comment is noted – I bought the PC second hand about a year ago (it was a gaming PC so I presumed would be decent spec) and to be fair it’s handled every other video processing project I’ve ran on it really well and pretty quick, so I was surprised at just how different it was with AE. But thanks for that, it might certainly be a factor.

The template in question that I purchased was very easily put together and easy to understand – I followed their video instructions for drag and drop to replace images/videos and that was it – job done! Although yes I can imagine some of the more complex templates will be more difficult to grasp.

Hi Dave,

First off – thank you for your reply, appreciate it.

Yes, I’ve realised there’s a very big difference. I’m led to believe that AE is more for producing the graphical type content which can then be used in PP, though struggled to work out why I was therefore creating a video in AE which I’d end up importing into PP!

The version of AE I’m using is the latest one (I signed up online via Adobe CC). So it’s AECC2015.

Incidentally, the video I mentioned in the original post is still rendering this morning! It’s now completed 1m 13s of video in 17h 33m, with 1h 4m left to go!
