For rendering faster, get RenderGarden ($99) to take advantage of the other cores (AE only uses one core) >
https://www.mekajiki.com/renderg…For RAM previewing, your iMac is more than fine, it is what it is really, so you need to adjust HOW you're previewing. BTW, I'm on a new iMacPro and I still have a long preview wait if I just hit spacebar with nothing really adjusted. The things you can do are:
- Adjust quality (set to Auto, Half, etc). Sometimes you need to preview in Full, but sometimes lower quality will suffice.- Use proxies for your nested comps where you don't really plan on changing things or any clips that use complex effects that take a while to render.
- Make your preview duration area smaller on the timeline. Sometimes I just want to see that 1-second of animation and have it loop over and over so I can tweak animation. No need to preview 5 seconds if you only need to see the first second.
- Toggle Effects using the switches. If you don't really need to see the effect applied on something in the comp, temporarily turn it off so previews happen faster.
- Adjust Region of Interest area, perhaps you don't need it to render the entire comp area but only a small portion of it.
