Thanks Jack, something isn't right for sure.

I just created a a new project on one of our fastest boxes.

5k HD is taking 11 seconds per frame to render, no keying, no resizing just IO.

I twirled down the render activity and 10 of the 11 seconds AE is "retrieving the frame".

I found a box that didn't have the RED importer installed, downloaded it from Adobe and installed it.

At first I thought it was going faster but it gets a few minutes in and grinds to a halt...

I seem to have exhausted everything.

Many different machines

Local / network IO

Lower debayer settings

fresh install of RED importer

I swear it was quicker on my laptop... I left that at the office and can't remote into it.. but I will test that again first thing.

If anybody has time, I would love to see what render times people get on this 8 second clip

I put t up on our FTP.

No problem if you don't have time, I appreciate all your help so far... pulling my hair out !!!!

Cheers.

Phil

Check all your Red stuff is up to date. Maybe you have some legacy Red stuff installed. We found our QT libraries contained a library item last week that dated back to 2010 and isn't required anymore.
