I have a general workflow question that I think is worth discussing.
Our production uses a LOT of expressions. Possibly too many -- it seems AE is not happy with evaluating hundreds and hundreds of expressions every frame.
However, many of these expressions aren't really necessary when doing RAM Previews or when working in general. They are only needed when the final product is rendered.
An example is an expression that makes properties "animate on twos", that is, skip every other frame. This expression is on almost every single layer, except for a few that need to be on ones.
I am wondering if anyone has figured out a workflow that allows for expressions to be somehow skipped until a real render is made. I would also ask the same about effects.
Thank you!
