Hey guys,
I've looked and looked and posts related to this issue seem to be either people angrily complaining or telling those angry people to"shut-up," cause it "used to be EVEN WORSE!"
Basically, I've been using after effects professionally since version 6. I've been paying for upgrades yearly. I think the CS6 creative cloud thingy is amazing.
BUT... to rendering big comps in CS6 with lots of compliacted artwork, the computer hangs for HOURS trying to multi-core render.
I've tried all the settings recommeneded by Todd for CS 5.5
I have a 2.93 12 core Mac Pro Nvidia Quadro 4000 (bought specifically to take advantage of CUDA)
32 gigs ram.
I really REALLY wish i'd saved my Fing money and bough 4 imacs becuase multi-core rendering seems even more broken now then it was in 5.5.
Why do i have to tell after effects how to set itself to work? Is there a fix? Should i go back to 5.5? At least with 5.5 i could crash a process in activity monitor to jumpstart it. Now that just crashes the program.
Very frustrated.
Any ideas?
Back to single-frame rendering on my $10000 computer.
