Question

After Effects not using 100% CPU/GPU

Hello, The point is that my CPU and GPU utilization when rendering and the preview is very low. 
Ryzen 3700X and RTX 2070 (previously Rx 5700XT - switched extra for this to nvidia). 
If I use "normal" video material, such as photos,mp4 etc. - everything works very well. CPU 100% etc. However, if I use animations such as "Path Animations with Trim Path", the CPU utilization drops to approx. 15% and GPU max. to 5%. 
So it takes a 10min. Video 1 hour to render. I am using Windows 10 Education Version 1909. 32GB RAM 3600Mhz. After Effects 17.0.5. Ryzen 3700X and Nvidia RTX 2070 (previously AMD RX 5700XT - same problem). I like to render using media encoder, but CPU and GPU utilization also remain low via After Effects direct rendering. This just happens if media encoder is using after effects animation footage i create.

  1.  Corsair MP 600 M2 SSD 500GB as Windows C, where the Apps are installed.


  2. Cruical MX 500 SSD 500GB as Media Cache and where the Videos are exported.
  3. 1TB HDD where the footage like photos etc. are stored. (Animations are made from scratch in AE so they are not from here)

Mainboard is MSI  X570 Gaming Plus. This setup is one week old. So the Drives are almost empty.
