Question

Mac Spinning beach ball with every edit

I have an M1 macbook with 16 gigs RAM and when I first started using CA it was fine. Now I'm 4-5 projects in, and EVERY change I make results in the spinning beach ball for 1-2 seconds. Is there a setting I can play with to help CA run more efficiently?

What version are you using?

Sorry, I'm running the latest version of ChAn and Mac Big Sur with all the latest updates.

You could insert a new scene every time you switch from the two-shot to the closeup. That could free up some resources. Also, you can introduce some head tracking by selecting a puppet and recording your head movements - then select the other puppet and do it again.


Oh wow thanks. My Fiverr artist didn't make head movements possible; I only supplied him with straight ahead shots & your idea is something I want to eventually graduate to.
