If you’re rerendering something to incorporate changes, then you really want to be using the disk cache, since that will re-use previously rendered elements when they’re unchanged. Having the disk cache on a  fast SSD really helps there.

 

Of course, this is only true on After Effects CS6 and later. Also, if on After Effects CS6, make sure that you’ve installed the updates. There are a lot of cache fixes in them. The Trapcode plug-ins also have had some cache-related fixes, so be sure that you’re up to date on them, too.

Hi all,
have some heavy comps here using TC Form etc, and even at 720p, rendering one a one minute comp takes well over an hour and half to finish...
Since there is a lot of back n forth discussing, rerendering etc, what could be the best way to speed up render times without changing the project?
I could  get to add something in the machine, but not much, like an ssd for cache or new gpu at most, but would these help at all? or OC perhaps..
thanx
