Rendering Audio Spectrum?

Hello everyone.

 

I'm making a 25min video that includes audio spectrums... It's estimated to take 10 hours to render. Am I doing something wrong or is this normal to take this long? Here are my PC specs:

 

  • Intel core i7-7800X CPU @ 3.50GHz
  • 16GB RAM

(I don't know what else to put haha)

 

Thank you 🙂

Hi there,

 

Welcome to the community. After Effects usually doesn't take this long to export. We'd need more information so that we can help you to troubleshoot.

  • Which Graphics card are you using? Make sure that its drivers are updated.
  • Have you used any third-party plug-in in the project?
  • Which renderer is selected as Video Renderer in the File > Project Settings?

Let us know, we're here to help.

 

Thanks,

Nishu

That is strange. Could you try resetting the preferences of After Effects to make the settings default and check if it helps? Here's how: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects/faq-how-to-reset-trash-preferences-in-after-effects/td-...

Let us know if it brings any change.

 

Thanks,

I just tried this and it still says it needs 10hr 30min...

 

Is there anything else I can try?

I disagree - just in Adobe wonderland an export of 25min audio spectrum doesn't take 10h+.

I would love to see a video + PC specs used to prove me wrong.

 

At OP: yes, this is normal. I suggest rendering everything in image sequence, so you can pick up the rendering process after a break or crash.

You can't do anything except waiting. Audio spectrum is an effect which takes ages to render. Actually 10h for 25min is quite good. I once spend a whole week for just 3 min. 

 

AE render pipeline is so "long", that the more professional users tend to use 3rd party render managers to speed things up.
