Presets initialization on import

[françois leroy]

Hi!

Is it possible to skip the "Presets initialization" (i'm not sure about the exact sentence in english, i'm working on french version, sorry..) when importing .aep files?

Or just to delay it so it happens only when everything is imported?

Thanx!

What version of After Effects are you using? The behavior has changed from one version to another.

Hi Todd,

I use several versions, from CS4 to CS6, as i'm working for different people...

I saw the initialization is quicker in CS6.

Do you think there is a way to skip or delay it in CS4 and/or CS5?

I'm working on a script that imports a lot of .aep in one project, then make a lot of stuff with these files, but this initialization takes more time than all the rest of the script...

Thanx for your help!

In CS5.5 and later, the initialization/loading of the animation presets doesn't occur until the first time that they are needed (when the Effects & Presets panel becomes active for the first time). You should be able to prevent this from occurring by using a workspace that does not contain the Effects & Presets panel. In After Effects CS5 and earlier, the loading happens at application start time; there is no way that I know of to prevent or delay this.

Ok, no luck...

Thanx anyway!
