Question

Extremely Slow Render

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to export a 10-second vfx shot, its cut down as much as I can and has a curves effect, rotoscoping animated masks and a light-wrap plug-in (which I've already tested and can say is definetly not the cause of the issue). Its taken over 16 hours to export less than half way in Media Encoder on the standard 4k 25fps preset. Screenshots of my workflow are attached with all modified properties shown.

 

I have a baseplate, then the effects are all in the 'Turtle Re-Aligned' pre-comp. Then, once inside Turtle Re-Aligned, all the actual layers and effects are within the REVERSE COMP 1 pre-comp because the light-wrap plug-in I'm using requires the layer receiving the plug-in and the footage its getting the light-wrap information from to be in separate comps. Inside the REVERSE COMP 1 there is just rotoscoped footage which is has its position animated. The Turtle Baseplate pre-comp inside the Turtle Re-Aligned comp just contains the same baseplate as the first screenshot.

 

Kind regards

 

Cheers

Hey Luca,

I'm sorry to hear about this. Are you experiencing issues while previewing the main composition, or does that also have issues? Please try replacing compositions that have high frame render time (https://adobe.ly/4dyeL6a) with exported footage and check if that helps reduce the export time. Please also share your export settings. 

 

Thanks,

Ishan

Hello,

 

The preview is slow, but still pretty normal. The idea of exporting the compositions like you said is what I'm trying to do here and its still really slow.

 

Kind regards,

Luca
