Okay, another problem with this huge project. When opening the project, there is no missing file warning. On test render, get message 2626 files are missing. Doing a search for missing in project window finds only about 950 files (search hangs AE for about 10 minutes, BTW).
Why the mismatched numbers? I’m wondering if the fact they are RAW files is part of the issue i.e. bug in counting files. stephen van vuuren 336.202.4777 http://www.insaturnsrings.com/ A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction.

I dont see why you cant break it in to chunks, render an intermediate, then make the DCP The RAW files are source footage, AE is being used by the client for the edit (Premiere does not let you cut raw sequences). Sources files are used throughout, so they said they could not break it into 2 or 3 parts as load times would be just as long. They probably could have used a better workflow – but I’m just getting what they have and have to render it ASAP. > Stephen, is there any chance you can make your client render the file out on his end and then provide you with a huge quicktime (12bpc log prores, perhaps) that you can use as the source for the DCP? That’s normally what I do for clients – but in this case they are paying me to do the render. Normally, intermediate renders I don’t charge much if any for, but having messed with DSLR raw files in AE, I knew it would involve effort, so my time is covered. However, they are late, I have faster machines – I’m just looking for speed gains at this point. stephen van vuuren 336.202.4777 http://www.insaturnsrings.com/ A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction.

No way to break it into chunks – this is the file assembled from the chunks. I’m pretty sure it’s the raw files causing the problems. stephen van vuuren http://www.insaturnsrings.com/ A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction.

I'd consider it billable. oh, stay away from toshiba 3TB's, get hitachi's - slightly slower but at least they work.

The slowdown probably comes from reading the individual files off your media storage to assemble the sequence. I have run into this problem with sequences, but never on this scale. The SSD wouldn't help much if you only plan on having the project file on it. You'd need a 2.5 TB SSD. Hope the client has a couple hundred thousand dollars on hand...

If you're saying that the project file + media are 1.5GB, an SSD probably won't help you that much. My guess is that the long load times are from AE having to process the camera raw files into usable pixels. Raw flexibility comes with a heavy performance hit! -bH On Tue, Mar 5, 2013 at 11:35 AM, Stephen van Vuuren <stephen@sv2studios.com> wrote:
