I often run into performance issues when working with large, complex compositions in After Effects. Whether it’s lag during previews or long render times, I’m looking for strategies to improve efficiency. Any suggestions for optimizing settings, using proxies, or hardware upgrades? For those interested in learning more about the software's capabilities, I recommend checking out the After Effects documentation for some official tips and best practices.
