Rendering INSANELY slow

Hi Leslie C,

Sorry for this issue. Did you ever find a solution? Please let us know if you have or if you still need help.

Thanks,

Kevin

Rick Gerard suggests the following:

Start by purging everything. If you have a crash then render an image sequence because you can pick things up on the frame where it fails. If I'm under a tight deadline on something that I think will take a long time to render or may have rendering problems I always render an image sequence. It's really easy to drop the image sequence in Pro and put the audio track back in and quickly render a deliverable and everybody can use an image sequence. Without details and a screenshot of your comp with all the modified properties of all the layers in the comp revealed (press the u key twice) it's impossible to guess what may be going on other than running out of resources.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hello,

Did you try to change the Render Settings to make the rendering faster like this? The window opens when you click Render Settings on Render Queue.

Proxy Use: Use All Proxies

It would be another tip that CapsLock is set on during rendering.

You could try the command line render for AE... But I think its your system... Your on a laptop in AE

The HD frame size and frame rate will make a bit of difference but the main thing that will slow up rendering is the codec that your compressing to and how many layers and effects you have going...

You might try exporting to animation then to h.264 if you are going for a compressed delivery.
