I've reached out for support a dozen times this week on this issue;
Since last Wendesday (02/09/2022), exporting from After Effects, whether in the app or through AME, has been taking a riduculous and unrealistic amount of time to render videos.
Example;
- 10 second video, 15 MB, 1920 x 1080 p, 30 FPS - 45 minutes this week, < 1 minute last week
- 1 minute video, 77 MB, 1920 x 1080 p, 30 FPS - 5 hours 47 minutes this week, < 3 minutes last week
- 20 second video, 25 MB, 1920 x 1080 p, 30 FPS - 1 hour 5 minutes this week, ~1 minute last week
I've tried it with the same files, different files, new files - same issue.
List of troubleshooting steps;
- Cleaning preference folders in Documents and AppData
- Using previous versions of software
- Updating software
- Uninstalling and reinstalling software
- Updating drivers
- Restarting PC
- Checking for any PC updates
- Using a new/fresh file
- Using different renderers
- Changing the render settings
- Rendering in AE vs. AME
- Changing file types
Nothing works. It also seems like each time I try to troubleshoot it, it gets worse. My computer is running perfectly fine, and has the specs to render this without issue. I can render videos in Premiere in seconds, but After Effects and Media Encoder are almost impractical and useless with these render times.
Exporting through After Effects renders at about 12-17 frames per minute.
Exporting through AME renders anywhere between 30 frames per minute to 0.15 frames per minute.
Additionally, each troubleshooting step has allowed me to export here and there at full speed; the other day it took mere seconds to export a 30 second animation. Though it immediately goes back to these insane render times afterward.
Each app is using about 93% - 97% CPU, and 10,000 MB - 15,500 MB of RAM, and 0 - 11% GPU.
I'm about to do a deep uninstall on everything with the Adobe cleaner tool, but in the event that it doesn't work, what would you suggest?
