| I know you've got beefy machines, but the performance of AE with big images comes down to memory. Which isn't an issue if you have lots. But I'm currently working on a project with a canvas size of roughly 10K x 3K, and it is interesting to see how render times differ on machines that are basically the same except memory. In some cases the same render might take 10 minutes on an old machine with 16 or 24 GB, 20 minutes on a newer machine with 12 GB, and just for kicks the same thing can take 3 hours on a brand new mac mini with only 4GB. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: Tim Loomis - NOAA Affiliate [mailto:tim.loomis@noaa.gov] Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2013 09:23 AM To: 'After Effects Mail List' Subject: Re: [AE] Largest Image 30K is max. When we need to make movies with something that big, we usually do it in Maya after we run it through imf_copy. Wavgen's wavelet plugin can handle that output within Maya, and you can map images that size to displacement also. Can't wait for unrestricted file sizes in AE, although they'll need to get around the patent holders for wavelet compression for most systems to begin to deal with the memory hit from something that size.
