PLEASE help,

 

I have recently upgraded PC to a much higher processing power, but my After effects keeps freezing when I work on this specific project....(Even when I have no other  programs open) This is SOOO annoying Just to mentions I do have like 30 different  Ouroboros Vector set ups in it... Which I thought with my power PC shouldn’t be a problem, but for some reason it is.. Also I've notice my AE is creating some strange "Engine instances" with no good use for them...

 

 

Please help.

 

My PC specs:

 

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor -  3.79 GHz

32GB Ram

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 (24 GB) (Current Clock Speed : 3793MHz) So not overclocking on this yet.

 

Attached screeshot of those "USELESS engine instances"

I canty work on my Ae project at all its just freezing forever .

The CEP instances have nothing to do with your performance issues. It's perfectly normal that there are around 12 of them whenever an Adobe program launches. The CC app itself with the licensing system and library already creates five of these instances for its panels. The rest likely boils down to the usual issues with hardware acceleration, expression evaluation, caches and so on. You simply may need to spend some time straightening out your graphics driver and configuring AE's settings.

Thanks for that,

 

But I really dont know what else to do...

 

What Ive done:

 

Cleared Cashe (Include Image Cahe)

Restarted Computer

Clean Up space

Freeed Empty pocked space on HD Defragmentation ( I use SSD by the way)

Increase Ram use for Ae to 24 GB

Updated my Graphic Driver ( Studio Driver - NOT GAME DRIVER)

Increased Media Cashe size to 500GB (Was 100GB)

 

while working use CAPSLOCK (But its still freezes everyhting) 

Only happens on this pecific project (Probably should've mentioned that.) - I did use over 50 Set ups for OUROBOROS plug in (Which creates mutiple instances of Vector Driven systems controled by a script) I might have over 100,000 - 300,000 of Vector Line instanses on it, but as it being Vector shouldnt really effect it, should it?
