Hello,
I have just got a new iMac AND just starting to learn After Effects. I am not the best when it comes to the techincal bit (trying to learn but it all blurs together for me). What I can say about my computer is that it is an iMac here is some info:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac13,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 3.4 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 8 MB
Memory: 16 GB
Now I have noticed, when learning After Effects from an online tutorial that my rendering is completley painfully slow! What can I do to make it better? I've reserved 5 GB of RAM for other applications, left 11 for After Effects, 6 out of 2 CPUs are for After Effects and RAM allocation per background CPU is 2, actual CPUs that will be used is then 4. I have played around with the numbers but nothing seems to help. I thought I got a really good computer but now I feel like maybe I didn't!
