Question

NOT realtime

Hello,

I looked to see if anyone else has posted this but and I couldn't find anything, or maybe I just overlooked it? Anyways, my question is; when I do a RAM preview in Ae is there a way to get better performance during the process? Would SSD's in a raid 0 configuration do the trick? Or, is it based on the amount of RAM and CPU and not the disk?

Thanks in advance,

Will

"RAM Preview" means precisely that. The frames are in memory, not on disk. Provided you haven't maxed out your RAM completely and pushed the operating system into using the swapfile, then your disks are irrelevant.

Having said that, it's not simply a case of storing a 'photo' of each fully-calculated frame and copying them to the screen. There is a lot of background processing going on, so it's very common for the preview window not to manage real-time speed, even within supposedly-cached sections. In many cases the only option is to render the composition to file, and watch it in a regular video player app.

This sounds weird, but does it work to place a panel beneath you layer-panel? Like enclosed?

First let us know what is your AE release, second i don't think SSD's in raid zero can do any changes,

also Try to cache your frames before playback

But decent SSD will make huge difference vs. standard HDD where you are running OS, software, cache and footage - and that is the reality of most beginners.

imeilfx i don't say that SSD don't help but i say in raid zero may it not do any changes related no real time preview

in raid zero mean that you will connect 2 SSD together to double the speed of read and right and that also reality of most beginners.

So i'm not compare SSD to HDD

That depends on all of those things, and also on how complicated is your composition. And tell us if that playback is during caching your timeline or after being already cached?
