Make After Effects run 100x Faster - Best PC Specs for Motion Graphics & VFX!

[@HammyDownConsole]

Press caps lock when rendering. This will turn off playback as you render and cuts render time in half

[@BlackMixture]

great tip, thank you for sharing!

[@HammyDownConsole]

@@BlackMixture Thanks for the video!

[@MAGAMAN]

Not really. It still has to do all the same calculations. The only time this works is if you are using a real garbage compute or (ugh) a laptop.

[@helenmtobin1]

@@MAGAMAN yes, me right now.. not a bad laptop, just old.

Here's a cheeky tip - if you have a render hungry animation that comes to a stop, pre-compose those layers that are no longer moving and add a time-freeze to it. Huge time saver.

[@MrInterpriser]

I don’t get it

[@TrulyEnzo]

@@MrInterpriser i think hes just saying if the layers arent gonna move then just pre-compose the layer that isnt gonna move and add time freeze to it

[@jaideepkhare5903]

Not specifically rendering, but for previews; disabling some heavy effects like Glow, Blurs, etc helps to skim quickly through the timeline. I always disable the layers which aren't my point of focus and it helps incredibly. Awesome one @Black Mixture. I love your style, especially the GIFs xD.

There are so many KZbinrs talking about this stuff, many with huge subscriber bases. But NONE as good as you at NOT WASTING MY TIME! Entertaining too. QUESTION: It you have a fast external Thunderbolt 3 SSD, would that be put to best use for media or for a cache folder?

[@BlackMixture]

Thanks so much Vince! I'd recommend using your fastest drive for your cache. Your cache will be written to and accessed more often than your media files by After Effects, so having a fast drive for that will help keep your previews speedy.😊👍🏾

Thanks! You made this just in time (for me)! This greatly helped me pull the trigger on buying a new PC for editing as it made me feel confident that what had I put together was going to meet my needs. I may have gone a bit overboard on some specs (i9 10 core CPU, 64GB of RAM (2 slots), NVIDIA RTX 2080, 512 GB SSD + 2 TB HDD) but I only spent $2,000. Keep bringing that solid content!

[@BlackMixture]

Glad I could help!

**only spent 2000 dollars** this literally killed me

[@simonbright2975]

@@itz_yeastic For the specs he cited, that _only_ makes a lot of sense. But then I guess maybe it does not include the money spent on monitors and shit.

Great vid I recently upgraded to 16GB ram but still found 0 results in performance boost so yeh I started watching these optimization vids and AE EATS A LOTTTTTT OFFFF RAAAAAMMMM If anyone is buying a Laptop for editing, remember to buy a great one already coz u cant upgrade it like PC's

[@zenith-one]

Do you got any recommendations for a laptop that can run after effects? Loved the video btw ❤️🤞🏾

[@SharpDesign]

I'd appreciate a suggestion on this also.

[@nickshredmonds]

Check Intel Gamer Days for some dope deals! gamerdays.intel.com/ His recommended specs apply to a laptop about the same. Obviously you won't get the same GPU performance, but that isn't as important for most aftereffects work. Make sure the laptop has SSD storage (NVME is best) and at least 16gb of ram!

Will purging do anything to your project? Will you lose anything potentially important

[@sabasgt]

Not at all. Purging just deletes the cached frames that the computer already saved for faster previews. It doesn't mess at all with your project.

[@BlackMixture]

Thanks Sabás! Seconding this!!! Your project will not lose anything important and in most cases, you'll see a performance boost once the cache gets rebuilt.
