This video will show you some settings you can use to help make Adobe After Effects render faster. Although the best thing to do really, is to just purchase and install new PC hardware. But this can show some improvement in render speed.

  • where you have the .75 gb setting, how much should i use when i have 16 GB?

  • @byHayze As much as you can. Whatever value you put is how much ram will be allocated per core on your processor. Seeing as how you have 16GB of RAM. You have A LOT of RAM to allocate. So go ahead and set it as high as you want, just make sure that you don'e set it too high to where you can't allocate every core anymore. If you have 4, then you should be able to max out I think. Anything above 4 cores, I'm not 100% about. Hope this helped!

  • @randomraretutorials heres the thing. at 3GB i can only use 3 cores, but at 2 gb i can use all four. what aetting should i use? and heres one more question, what could i change if i wanted my render to use like 70% of my ram (for example) by because mine only uses 7% of it which makes me render pretty slow

  • @byHayze I would recommend allowing it to use all of your cores, so 2GB. And After Effects will take the amount of RAM it needs in order to function. The bigger your project, the more RAM it will consume. 7% is REALLY low, not sure what is going on there. If the program functions fine, then I'm not sure what could be the issue for the 7% RAM problem.

  • it dosent let me tick the Multiprecessing box? please help!!

  • @wattsits07 Well, either your processor is only one core. Or you don't have enough RAM for multiprocessing because each core needs a certain amount of RAM to utilize for rendering. And that only includes that RAM that after effects is allowed to use. In my video, even though I have 4 GB of RAM I can only use 2 cores because after effect can only use 2.5 out of the 4 that I have and because it utilizes .75gb of ram per core, that's all I can use.
