MacPro 12 core, OS X 10.7.5, 2.66GHz, 32GB RAM, SSD= boot/application disk.
CS6 updated to latest with th= ese AE RAM and Multiprocessing prefs:
8GB RAM for oth= er apps
24GB for CS
8 cores for other apps
= 3GB per core
6 cores for AE
It's a credit = roll with a pre-rendered motion background and PIP of outtakes/bloopers. The= PIP has a lens effect, drop shadow and color tint. Output is a 23.976 ProRe= s 422HQ QT onto a Fibre Channel disk.
In CS5.5, this = project renders to the Fibre disk in 21 min.
Renderin= g this same project in CS6 takes ~70 min.
Are the abo= ve settings okay? What else should I be looking at? I'm happy to provide oth= er details.
