Hi guys! I’m familiar with After Effect(AE) and Media Encoder(ME). But I'm really new to the Cinema4D(C4D). I just started to use C4D with current project, which is just a month ago
I made 2min video using AE and import lots of C4D files inside it. About 10 files I think. We use ME for rendering.
I knew it’s rendering will take really long... especially when it’s rendering the “heavy scene” that uses 6 c4d files at once.
The Main problem that we faces occurs right after that. The next scene has no C4D files imported. It just uses rendered images(.tiff) of C4D files. The previous scene still remains after the scene transition(which means we just overlapped the “heavy scene” with the next scene. But the overlapping is not that long...)
But ME renderer malfunctioned after the scene transition. It’s slower than what we experienced at the previous “heavy scene”. It took more than 3 hour to progress to the next scene. Now, the ME renderer seems STOPPED.
We feel strange and turn on the Windows Task Manager. It shows us that Cineware is running in the background & occupying almost 90% of the CPU resources.(I uploaded the photo of the Task Manager)
Akward thing is that when it’s rendering “Heavy scene”, only AE is running in background and occupying the CPU resources. Cineware is not running at that moment. Now, AE doesn’t use CPU that much, only about 5%.
Me and my teammates are seriously considering to shut down the Cineware running in the background.
But we don’t know how AE, C4D, and Cineware works when rendering. We are worried if the Cineware is just arranging the “heavy scene”. Which means if we shut down the Cineware, the whole rendering process would be heavily damaged.
I want to ask you:
Why this happened?? What kind of process occurs when we renders multiple-C4D files-imported AE File with ME?
Is it OK to shut down the Cineware in this kind of situation??
If not, What kind of miserable situation occurs when we shut down the Cineware??
If Cineware running in the background is connected to the previous “heavy scene”(which means our worrying consumption is right), How much time would take for Cineware to finish its job? We take more than 3 hour to progress the renderer from the start of the “heavy scene” to the end of it.
Please answer if you know what kind of terrible things are happening in my PC... you don’t need to answer all the things. Just tell me what you know.
