Rendering FASTER with Multiprocessing in Adobe After Effects!

[drzefkovitsh]

I have 4 cores and 12GB RAM installed but in the System Information I cannot set "Total After Effects memory usage" higher than 2,4GB. Why? Can you please help?

[eConicCorp]

Okay so This is what i am currently running.

i7 2600k @ 4.5 GHz

Ati Radeon 5970 Black Edition (850 MHz OC) With Open CL Enabled

4 GB of ddr3 1333 mhz Ram (16 GB 1600 mhz is coming in the mail)

How much will the 16 GB Speed up my renders using this? Because right now 4 GB SUCKS.

[DarthMalikify]

Thanks man, you decrease my render time by 100 hours.

[CarlyleSpeaks]

@DarthMalikify Woah!!! :)

[SynChrOPogi]

does this are helpful to laptops???

[CarlyleSpeaks]

@SynChrOPogi This applies to any machine with multiple cores or CPUs.

How did you made the little guy (you) appear on the video? I've seen that in some TV shows. Do you have a tutorial?

[CarlyleSpeaks]

@paulobruna That is just greenscreen and simple 2D animation and a touch of digital compositing. No tutorial sorry. :)

I have an Alienware M11x and I'm running AAE CS4 and the RAM Previews and render times are so slow. Anyway to speed this up because I'm not sure if multiprocessing will work.

[CarlyleSpeaks]

@NSNewcomeR How many cores? How much RAM?

[NSNewcomeR]

@CarlyleSpeaks 8 GB Ram 4 Cores.

[CarlyleSpeaks]

@NSNewcomeR You can use 4 cores for SD only. HD video you are likely to see potentially decreased performance if you turn on multiprocessing. You MIGHT be able to pull off 3 cores HD or 2 cores for sure. Always remember your system needs RAM also. So as far as AE is concerned, you don't have 8GB RAM. More like 6GB for AE and 2 for OS. 6GB is just enough for 3 cores.

[iiTzDaryl]

I have 4G of RAM and 2 cores. Is that enough for multiprocessing?

[magnusn12]

@iiTzDaryl nah im pretty sure you need min 6gb

[CarlyleSpeaks]

@iiTzDaryl Probably not

[xDanZorz]

this deserves more views.

thankyou... god.

[CarlyleSpeaks]

@xDanZorz Thanks for adding to the view count! :)

[WakeEdits]

i have a problem!!!!!!!!! I HAVE 8GB OF RAM AND AFTER EFFECTS IS ONLY USING 11% OF IT I SET IT TO 1.5 GB OF RAM FOR OTHER APPLICATIONS AND IT IS STILL AT 11%. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

[AnalogX64]

@WakeEdits Same Here. I have a Core 2 Quad Q8300 with 8GB and only 5-10% of the ram is used and renders slow as heck.

[zxHecticZxz]

TY BRO THIS HELPED ME RENDER 1 HOUR QUICKER

[CarlyleSpeaks]

@zxHecticZxz Outstanding! That's what I like to hear! :)

[NewGameMultimedia]

you sound like freddiew!

[CarlyleSpeaks]

@NewGameMultimedia lol

[DarthMalikify]

@NewGameMultimedia so true

[rehdoggvideos]

i HAVE 14 GIGS OF ram BUT THE PREVIEWS ARE SLOW AND WHEN ITS COMPLETED IT'S VERY CHOPPY AND USELESS

[XxAncientxXX]

@rehdoggvideos

crappy shitram?



[CarlyleSpeaks]

@XxAncientxXX Oh yeah..cheap RAM is a factor too. Look at RAM speed and BUS speed!

[CarlyleSpeaks]

@rehdoggvideos You may have an older machine with older drivers. My 4GB ram i3 laptop DESTROYS my 8GB QUAD core desktop for playing HD MP4s with media player. Do you have low Video RAM?

[catalytic63]

I'm running an i7 970 6 core, with 18 GB RAM, but after effects RAM previews are so slow! If I try to increase the amount of RAM in the setting I start getting errors such as "after effects needs more than two frame for a ram preview" or it will only preview a few frames. I'd love to know what settings I should be using when compositing with HD footage.

[CarlyleSpeaks]

@catalytic63 Thats insane! I was gonna tell the guy above that he needs to have fast CPU also, not just ram but you have i7. You should be flying along. Perhaps you have a system level issue? Are ALL of you drivers up to date? Does your HD have 40-50% free space? Is it fragmented? Any errors on your HD? Finally, I've found that HDSLR compression is a nightmare to work with. All it's good at is looking good and being small.

[CarlyleSpeaks]

@catalytic63 First off, I am really NOT impressed with Adobe stability. I don't think they put enough pride in their products. That being said, perhaps you are running into another "Adobe Surprise"? Otherwise, if windows, then what is your performance score? Also, do you have fast drives? Plenty of free space? Norton installed? Lots of applications in the background? Low video RAM? Spyware?

[avalon0101]

NICE!! thankssss

[SSPBProductions]

the green bar in my After effect wont be fill the whole video

[muktinsh]

thanks for this one

[CarlyleSpeaks]

@muktinsh You are most welcome!

[XxYanks138xX]

Great vid man really helpful:)

[CarlyleSpeaks]

@XxYanks138xX Thank you! You are welcome!

[narutofan9tf]

very helpful video, thx man. I wish I had at least 8Gb of Ram, sigh

[CarlyleSpeaks]

@narutofan9tf Thanks! All in due time!
