Hey Teddy,

Any way you could do something similar to cbscores.com with the results?

Maybe ask the 3d Fluff guys for a template of their page wit= h the submit functionality and such. It's been a great go-to when resea= rching new processors to see how they fair in the benchmark.

=A0will work on mac and pc, you need the latest AE

=A0I put a ton of work into this and think you folks will
=A0find this handy. It has already been useful around the
=A0studio for profiling system strengths and
=A0deficiencies.=A0
=A0A little background:


=A0It will generate about 6 GB of video files
=A0on your system. Everything here is procedural, no video
=A0files or prerendered assets are needed, it is created from
=A0scratch on your machine.=A0


=A0This benchmark tests total systems RAM, CPU, and
=A0GPU performance in After Effects Creative Cloud 12.2.1,
=A0simulating typical rigorous production demands with 4k
=A0footage output, intensive render-heavy effects and encoding.
=A0Make sure your system is able to handle 100% load on GPU
=A0& CPU - I am not liable for any system crashes, loss of
=A0work or mechanical failures as a result of this
=A0test.=A0


=A0It is recommended that, if you have any GPU
=A0released prior to the Nvidia GTX 480, you disable the
=A0"Raytrace & Environment Map" benchmark test in
=A0the render queue, as render times may exceed 1 hour and
=A0beyond. This may also be true for many modern mobile GPUs,
=A0or GPUs with less than 1 GB VRAM. This does not mean your
=A0computer is slow, it simply means your GPU is not able to
=A0run the highly specialized AfterEffects CUDA raytrace engine
=A0with reasonable speed. =A0


=A0Make sure you have latest GPU drivers AE CC
=A0version and Quicktime codecs installed. There is an optional
=A0Element 3D benchmark left unchecked, if you have Element 1.6

=A0is a great plugin that works extremely fast with many common

=A0You will have to select all render items and
=A0output the project to its own folder on your fastest drive.
=A0You may need to click each item in the render queue and
=A0output each render item to the chosen render folder

=A0INSTRUCTIONS:
=A0STEP 1: Purge RAM and disk cache (disk

=A0STEP 4: Confirm system airflow is good and CPU / GPU

=A0STEP 6: Recommend you render each item separately
