Yeah, that’s what I figured. Thanks for the info Richard! Much appreciated.

Hmmm.. I’m not sure that I have done this.. is it possible and or safe to change this setting during rendering? I have 2 1/2 hours left! I haven’t even checked the core setting.. do you know what it is set at by default?

Another question… does it effect your rendering job if you open the partially rendered file and watch it up to the point where rendering is ongoing?

I share in your frustration with this issue. I have a powerful enough computer that I would really hope it could chew right through these rendering jobs… that being said.. the average render time for me is 4 hours, the average length of my composition being 3-4 minutes… This includes an audio mp3 along with whatever footage or video etc… however on my last job I animated a 2d photo by chopping it up in photoshop by foreground, mideground, and farground etc.. so basically I’m importing 4 or 5 images into AE.. I drop in the audio track… with no real effects aside from manipulating the images with keyframes.. it took 4 hours… I’m on my second render right now as I forgot to include the audio in the first go round…. which means.. just to manipulate the images alone took 4hrs and 57 min!

Thank god for my mac and apple motion!!!
