Why does exporting via AfterEffects' render queue use so much memory?
When exporting via AME, memory is properly freed, but when using Ae's render queue, memory is used inexhaustibly, as it is during preview playback.
This is undesirable behavior.
My guess is that frames are stored in memory the same way they are during preview playback.
However, the user opens the exported file, so there is no need to keep the frames in memory.
Why is this designed this way?
It seems to me that exporting would be faster if memory were properly freed up.
Does Adobe have any plans to improve this?
