I could use some advice from the community on this. I am looking to upgrade my system since I am doing a lot more After Effects and using plugins like Trapcode and my MacBook Pro is struggling.
What I am on: MacBook Pro from 2018; 2.9 GHz Intel Core i9, 32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4; Radeon Pro Vega 20 4080 MB
Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MBWhat I am Looking at: either to iMac Pro 10-Core or a MacPro 12-Core with some decent memory and card ...
I would be open to a PC build but I have a lot of apps, and licenses that would be time consuming/costly to manage ... plus I still need to occasionally use Sketch.
It's a costly upgrade but worth it if the speed is there. Would love to get some advice and recommendations. Thanks!
- I have a 2013 iMac, and works 2019 iMac Pro super $£$£ thing. Was expecting a x2 speed boost when preview rendering. Difference = 0.shapesalad
- There is a slight different on 'Make movie' rendering times. But I don't care about that. It's all about that Preview render... that slows my work right down.shapesalad
- It's the fuckin Ae, not your hardware mate. Was doing trapcode projects on MBPro 2009 with 8GB RAMgrafician
- Stay on 2-3 generations behind on Mac OS and at least 1 year back on Adobe CS, none of their stuff is optimised for recent years hardwaregrafician
- Btw I'm fairly certain Apple is undercloking everything to save up battery life/face in recent years MBPros looking like Airs, taking us for foolsgrafician
- see the scandal with iPhone 6 battery lifegrafician
- So an i9 would be a puny i5 in real work conditionsgrafician
- ok ... so now I don't know what to doatomholc
- Sorry to baffle you, wait until next year's upgradesgrafician
- Whatever the setup, I’d suggest an external SSD to keep your project files separate from AE cache and render location.MrT
- That’s worked solidly for me on a couple of setups. I do a fair bit of tv stuffs, plenty of trapcode and some 3D.MrT
