![]() When you test your animation just render at 1920×1080 this should help to render faster and make adjustments.Īre you rendering at 60 Fps or higher? Try to drop it down to 29.97 Fps and see if that help. Rendering at 3840×2160 pixel take a lot more time even if you have a good computer! To make it simple I have capture a screenshot of my default render settings so you can compare with your render queue settings.īelow the other reason why your rendering might be slow, check them out One of the reason After Affects is rendering slow might be your render queue settings not optimized correctly. Did you setup your render queue correctly ? Then re-import the video in your composition and delete the 3D Layer. If you need to use the Cinema 4D Renderer I recommend to solo your 3D layer and render only the 3D Layer as a video with the alpha Channel. When your start using Raytraced 3D or Cinema 4D Renderer it will increase your render time a LOT! even with a good computer. Are you using Raytraced 3D / Cinema 4D Renderer ?Īs much as possible try to use the standard classic 3D, disable the raytraced 3D/Cinema4D. Sometime it is even more efficient to render the pre-composition as video with alpha channel and re-import them on your master composition. The main problem is that it might actually hurt you when you render because After Effects is trying to make lot of calculation at the same time when rendering.ġ.Try to reduce the amount of pre-compositionĢ. Pre-comps are so easy to create on After Effects that you might actually end up with a lot of compositions when your project is done. Sometime files in your composition are taken from multiple hard drive, gather all the files to one specific location by using Collect File. Maybe your composition is way to long (multiple minutes) try keeping it short or use Adobe premiere for the editing work and only the effects are in After Effects. Check your layer with an image sequence sometime each image can be heavy and delay your rendering.į. Trim your layers or video you don’t need.Į. Remove unused footage, images and layer you don’t needĭ. Select and delete the layers you don’t needĬ. Here is how you can cleanup and optimize your After effects projectĪ. You have multiple overlapping layers or videos Optimize your After Effects Compositions.Īfter Effects composition can sometime be very messy with layer you don’t even need.ġ.You have heavy layers that are rendered that you don’t even see on your video and are adding more time to your render.Ģ. Close all other running software even your chrome browser. Check your hard drive if it is almost full, make some space.ĥ. In After Effects go to Edit > Purge > All Memory & Disk Cache…Ĥ. Optimize your computer for better renderingĬomputers get overloaded easily, here are a couple of small tasks you should apply before you hit the render button.Ģ. Second drive where you render your file that have plenty of storage space.īy using this method you are not overloading your hard drive with simultaneous calculation.Īs far as which drive you should get SSD Solid State drive are great but M.2 NVMe drive are even faster.īelow are the best M.2 hard drives for After Effects in my opinion. The ideal setup to render is to have a least 2 hard drive. 4.Setup your Hard Drives for After Affects Rendering ? If I had to buy processor today in 2020 I would go with eitherīoth micro processor above seems to be reliable and should work pretty well with After Effects. Is your CPU fast enough for After Effects?Īdobe recommend a Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support. If you need a detail overview of GPU bandwidth and speed check out this page 3. – EVGA 10G-P5-3897-KR GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 ULTRA GAMING, 10GB Additionally Adobe recommend to update your Nvidia driver if your rendering crash.īelow a list of the best GPU Graphic card for After Effects. – Patriot Viper RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 3600MHz 2. – Viper Steel Series DDR4 32GB (2 x 16GB) 3600MHz Kit Here are a list of ram that seem reliable I personally think today in 2020, 64GB of ram is the normal configuration for After Effects. Do you have enough RAM for After Effects?īase of Adobe website you need to at least 32GB of ram to render correctly in After Effects, if you have less it is time to upgrade. Over the years I have worked on many motion graphics projects and some of them were painful to render, I actually wish I knew some of these tips I will share with you on this blog, hope you find them useful and let me know in the comment area if you have other rendering issue.īelow I have created a list of 15 tips to improve your rendering speed in After Effects, check it out.
