Thanks for the info! I have tried both 2015 and 2014 versions of AE. I do notice a slight improvement in speed of the program compared to CS6 but not on the previews. I have seen videos of people showing off how to have 2000 audio bands for a solid looking audio spectrum and use Trapcode Particular at the same time and it previews perfectly. They show their PC specs which are lower than mine. Yet mine previews so poorly. Is there any settings that I have to set for good performances or maybe I have settings I set wrong?
If I got the latest AE, could it help speed up previews and renders? If so, would it be better to get 2014 or 2015 CC? I have had CS6 for a while so I would not mind getting a newer version.
I do not know that. But I have been playing around and I found out Trapcode Particular is the reason why it is rendering so slow. Is there anyway I can fix that?
