What is the sapphire plugin?
Do you need to use it? Is here another alternative?
That could be what's slowing you down.

Sapphire Plugin:
http://www.genarts.com/Why, with my pc specs, after effects is so slow when i apply some of the Sapphire plugin effects?..looks like an old P3 at 550 mhz...:S
Damn snail..:(

What resolution are you working in?
And what specific sapphire effect are you using?

Am working on a video 16/9, 1366x768. I Am pretty shure the Sapphire plugin is slowing the render process...(using glows, rays, etc..)
But with my specs..it shouldn't..:/

I have learned that AE on a PC is notorious for being sluggish. Something about the way AE on a PC handles memory as opposed to on a Mac. I hate to admit that as I'm a PC user too.
Add to that your choice of plugins at that resolution and it's bound to get slow.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help...

Render with the Caps Lock activated, and start shopping for a Mac and different plugz.

even with lights on, shadows on,DOF and motionblur on.great machine.

I suspect his machine isn't the problem here, it's those plugins he's using.
PC and Macs run AE virtually the same , it's only when the scenes become very heavy, and I mean VERY heavy, that the Mac seems to pull ahead.

Are you viewing your comp at full resolution? Try previewing at 1/4.
I guess that's too obvious a suggestion, but no one else mentioned it.

Thanks a lot guys... i probably have done too much use of the Sapphire plugins..too many affects..:/
I am previewing it at 1/4, obviously...it runs like a snail..damn it!i know Mac is much better to work with motion ..:(..but here at work, everything's almost PC..
I just have to wait..3hour to complete my render...
Cheers u all...

Like I said, it's the plugin's that are killing you.
