Message-Id: Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2012 10:07:14 -0700 To: After Effects Mail List Mime-Version: 1.0 (Mac OS X Mail 6.0 \(1486\)) X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.1486) X-Identified-User: {1790:box473.bluehost.com:heliumon:helium14.com} {sentby:smtp auth 71.92.198.64 authed with list@helium14.com} So i have been working on an AE project with about 50 3d layers, nothing = crazy. 2011 MBP with 2.2GHz i7. It has been a little painful waiting on = previews, etc. my internal SSD is pretty small at 120 in 2 partitions, 40 and 80GB. 40 = for the system and apps, 80 for some work. So i moved my cache to the = SSD to try and see if it would help. CRAP! Made working much much more acceptable. Things that were taking = 1-5 minutes, now take seconds. I am ordering a 512 SSD for this machine = today and moving some stuff around! -- Eric James Wood Helium14 +1.714.254.5042 | mobile
