Its odd for sure. I havent been an AE user for a few years and im finding all sorts of little things that are different. Cannot believe they removed multiprocessing. Thats BG render made useless haha.
-
i have other project files that have the same issue that DO contain shape layers and it could just be that the animations behind the rigging takes a while to compute which make sense but this project in particular playing back a ram preview sometimes drops to as low as 4 fps
-
Sorry yes they are pixel layers and they are 1920×1080 png sequences. I cant show a capture unfortunately as its an NDA project. Im working on my system drive which is an SSD and the files are all contained on the same drive.

Hi, Im pretty certain im using classic renderer as i havent enabled raytraced and i dont have any 3d layers
-
Ouch im on cs6 and dont have the magical autosize! Maybe its time for an upgrade.
-
Oh I see i didnt realise dof was a single threaded effect. I hope soon enough adobe updates the way they deal with effects and multiprocessing considering its the norm to have a powerhouse processor in a machine dealing with ae.
-
It still seems crazy long for a machine as powerful as mine. like i say dual 8 core xeons, 32gb ram, ssd, seperate ssd with cache on it, quadro. Obviously though AE has been 1upped by this script because it cut the render time down from 4 hours to less than 10 minutes with the same settings.

No effects just camera DOF. The multiprocessing in AE seems very ver inefficient thats why i got the bg render script its amazing! 4 Hours for something this simple is a fairly long time.
Im aware its not an editing app i jsut posted because i had gone through all of the optimisation i knew how and it still wast good enough. As is always the case in a company i was given the project much later than i was told i was getting it and because most people dont seem to understand the work that goes into motion graphics and animation they just assume its all a copy and paste job. I literally got someone asking me once “can you copy and paste all of these pictures and text into 3d” as if it was like excel or something haha. so i really needed to cut the render time down to get it out in time. I ended up rendering to tifs and assembling it in premiere then using media encoder to encode it. -
Thanks but unfortunately the way the script im using controls the rotation/position of the images means they all need to be in the same comp.

Hi, theyre all resized to 1024x768ish. trimming the layers doesnt really work in this instance as the script relies on them being the length of the comp. i actually solved my problem today by simply avoiding using AE for adding the titles. i also bopught the bg render script which ias the closest thing to real magic ive ever seen. i just rendered the entire thing out at one constant speed then reimported and timeremapped for the slowing down/stopping on images. absolutely insane plugin, would recommend to anyone who uses AE in any capacity!
