AE 24.2.1 Slow Rendering 2024

The latest update seems to have drastically reduced the render speed on my system. A usual render of the type I'm doing take 1.5 to 2 hours, same render on new version taking roughly 5 hours.

The AE file is pretty simple, mostly using Displacement although there is a fair amount of scripting holding it all together.

On Windows 11, Intel i7-3700K 3.4GHz. 128GB RAM. Nvidia RGeForce TX 4080 GPU.

Any ideas?

Hi 3D Murch,

Can you test the same project on the previous version? You can install the previous version using the Creative Cloud desktop app. Also, have you tried exporting using Media Encoder? Are there any third-party plug-ins installed?

Let us know.

Thanks,

Nishu

Hi Nishu

I don't really have time to jump back versions at the moment, due to my current workload.

My export was using Media Encoder - this is generally always the case.

There are third party plug-ins installed but not used in the project.

I'll try to find time to download and test previous version but I'm just so busy.

Thanks.

In Media Encoder, double-check the following:

"Enable Parallel Encoding" is still enabled in Preferences > General > Queue.
The Renderer is not set to "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only".
If the export format supports it, that Video Performance is set to "Hardware Encoding" and not "Software Encoding".
