Hi Tero, thanks for reply!
I would like to be able to use AE to fully preview my compositions and export listless in a reasonable amount of time. Right now a one minute clip takes 9 hours.
Basically I have multiple layers in AE composition, mainly keyframed still images and videos. The images are around 4K and they are put together in a way that there are a lot if them (repetition) composition size is 1920×1080. I use 3D (the little cube checked) for flipping still images but no cameras or lights. My AE allocates around 26gb for ram. No template.
Here is a short clip of the kinds of images I’m making, maybe it will help you understand what I’m trying to do: https://www.sonialidesigns.com/
