Rendering a 40 minutes animated video takes over 20 hours

New Here ,
Oct 07, 2022 Oct 07, 2022

Hi, I'm currently working on a huge episode for a Youtube video podcast. The animation included consists of an intro, a background with moving shapes, 10+ pieces of text+photo/video, and a video roll of two people talking. I was trying to render it directly from After Effects through Media Encoder as h.264 with a 10-12 bitrate but it didn't work as the render would take 10+ hours or just get stuck somewhere on 75% with a remaining time increasing.
Then, I tried to do the same through Premier by exporting the final comp into the software and it would take even longer to render.
I'm using an updated Creative Cloud on a Macbook Pro with 8 GB of RAM and M1 chip. 
I'm confused and loosing hope, please help.

If your CPU does not work efficiently, you have a choice to use a third-party utility like this below.

Render a ProRes file or similar directly from AE and encode it in a second pass in AME. There is an elusive bug where DynamicLink based renders will slow to a crawl. that aside of course you cannot expect magic. Even than a 40 minute video can take a few hours. Every frame still needs to be processed and those seconds can accumulate...
