If we look at CPU-based 3D rendering, then spending more money for more CPU cores definitely makes the rendering process faster. It’s a fair assumption that if slow performance is the problem, then spending more money can solve it. If we compare cheaper computers to more expensive ones then we expect to see faster performance for our money. It’s just throwing money at the problem, which is easy if you have the money. If we don’t feel like cooking, we can eat out and pay someone else to cook for us, and if we do cook at home then we can buy a dishwasher to do the dishes. Now they’re selling us robot vacuum cleaners so we don’t even need to do the vacuuming. Initially they sold us vacuum cleaners so we didn’t need to physically beat carpets and rugs. Convincing people to spend money so we don’t have to work as hard keeps the advertising industry busy. In this article I’m going to look at how changing your workflow and project settings can significantly improve the performance of After Effects, in most cases without spending anything at all. In Part 1 of this series, I said that there’s a point where spending more money won’t make After Effects render any faster, and while that’s generally true for multi-core CPUs and GPUs, there are other avenues for performance gains that don’t involve money. Plenty of people have said that money can’t buy you happiness, and anyone who says it can hasn’t used After Effects.
