When I render in AE CS4 I render out to a TIFF sequence at millions of colors and then go into Sony Vegas to mix it and render out an XDCamHD file (or playout server format). Last night after making change 8 billion to a :30 promo, I changed the comp to 32bit and changed the TIFF Color Depth to Trillions. I meant to change it to 16bit, but I didn't notice until this morning that I double punched it. I hit render last night and it said 8.5 hours for the render. At 8bit, the render has been taking around 20 minutes using the background render script and running 8 instances of it. 4 each on 2 HP Z600's.
Anyway, I came in this morning and it had rendered only three frames and took 31 minutes to do so based on the file time stamp. Is 32bit/Trillions not a good
combo?
Thanks,
