After Effects/C4D on imac 5k / Sierra = Very slow
Hello,
I know this issue has been discussed before but I'm still looking for an answer to my problem.
I'm running the latest version of After Effects CC (14.0.1.5), OS Sierra (10.12.2) .
My machine :
iMac 5k - late 2015
4 GHz intel i7
32 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon r9 M395X 4096 MB
250 GB Flash Storage
Example of the problem :
I start AE, I create a composition, then a new Cinema 4D layer. This is where my problems begin, spinning wheel is showing and I take up to 20 seconds before C4D reacts. I create a simple object, a cube, I save my C4D document and then return to AE. I can't see the cube, only a black layer is showing up.
In Cineware, the renderer is set to Software, if I set it to Standard (Draft or final) I can see the cube but I can't work, everything I do make the wheel spinning, it is very slow.
I tried a lot of things :
- Changed resolution/fast previews of the comp
- Playing with the Cineware Port - I scanned the ports and 5030 is open - surfpass
- Uninstall / Reinstall AE
- Flush all my third party plugins
- Turn off WI-FI and Ethernet
- Purge Memory
I always get the same result, a very slow result...
I know an iMac is not the perfect machine for 3D rendering, but I think there's a problem somewhere...
If someone can help, it would be greatly appreciated !
Thank you
