Extremely slow exports-Help

Question

Hi,I wonder if anyone can help me.Recently had a few deadlines and the exporting has been an absolute nightmare and really affecting my deadlines. I have to admit, the projects are a bit heavy (using a couple of App promo templates,  some have video clips, effects and camera movement) , but now for a 30 second project its going to take at least 50 mins to render, is this speed normal?  Last week a 2 min video also took 50 minutes to render. I have set up the Media Cache folder in another hard disk and I think I have the right specs? If anyone can help me with some tips that would be amazing, thanks in advance.Here are the specs: AE CC 2019:

I think this is absolutely normal if your composition is a complex one (3D, motion blur, maybe glows). What you can do is to check if your system is using the GPU for processing. Go to File Project Settings > Video Rendering and Effects > Mercury GPU Acceleration (CUDA).

Anyway, even in those scenarios, After Effects does no take full advantage of GPU power for a lot of effects. With the latest versions, a lot of effects are GPU accelerated but maybe you are using some not GPU-accelerated effects in your composition.
