Hello everybody!
(This post was co-authored by Tim Kurkoski (After Effects Product Owner), Andrew Cheyne (After Effects Engineering Manager), and Victoria Nece (After Effects Product Manager).)
This thread has been sitting here for quite a while without a response. To start, we want to apologize for that. We haven’t been ignoring you or your feedback – this is just a particularly complex topic. That said, it’s time for us to check in with you, clarify a few things, and give you an idea of what we’re looking at for the future of After Effects, especially when it comes to performance.
To start, we fully understand that you want After Effects to be as fast as it can be – utilizing your computer’s hardware resources to render as fast as possible. Over the last several years, we have been working on the performance of After Effects constantly. Sometimes those performance gains…

Considering the 2020 release was COMPLETELY glossed over and not mentioned at Adobe Max, it does not seem there is anything worth talking about in this release :(

Perhaps it's just me, but using an iMac pro 10 core, 64GB RAM, 16GB Vega, MacOS 10.14.6, I see minimal, if any, improvement in render times with After Effects 2020 that was just released. Render times in both the timeline (RAM preview), as well as render queue, are nearly unchanged from the 2019 release. The release notes are fairly vague, where exactly are the improvements???

Barry and Kevin, no doubt you'll work on adding Blur, but if you could make it a Gaussian Blur, that would be most excellent. Clients love it.

How does Apple Motion compare? I've never tried it out. Viable alternative?

This seems like as good of a place as any to list alternatives to After Effects because clearly, Adobe isn't reading this thread. I'll start with Nuke. Any other's want to chime in?

Specific, tangible feedback, here it is: When rendering from After Effects, automatically spawn instances of AErender.exe in the background that will utilize the as many cores as are available to render.

Adobe are you going to give us a response?? How many comments saying the same things do we need to post???

Has Adobe ever given a response to this? There are several threads just stating that 'multi-threading isn't returning in the same for as it was in CC2014'. That was several years ago.
Adobe staff, we know you read these comments. Can you acknowledge this is something ALL of your users can really benefit from? Are you hearing us?

This has been known for quite some time... https://forums.adobe.com/message/8584330#8584330 . Adobe are you going to give an update of your findings of a 'better solution'? There are several 3rd party apps that have been able to find a solution...

Nice! Now Abobe, why haven't you built this natively into the program? Why must we struggle to shout at you that we desperately need After Effects to consistently actually utilize the power of our machines?

While they are indeed 2 different programs with different ways of working and reasons to use, there is indeed overlap with After Effects and Blackmagic Fusion. To a degree, some in the industry are shifting to Fusion in part because of this very reason, true multi-threaded utilization, for the same work processes between the two programs.

What you’re suggesting would lead to a full on revision of the feature – therefore I’d like to ask a couple of additional questions:
what kind of footage do you usually try to stabilize with the Warp Stabilizer? And how much tweaking of the settings do you do on average?Thanks

Hello everyone,
my sincere apologies for not updating the status of this request any sooner.
We’ve been working on widening the range of supported systems for the last couple of weeks – and to ensure we get performance right. I’ll have roll-out information for you within the next 4 weeks.
Cheers,
PatrickAnonymous

How is the 'looking into it' going, Adobe?

Is there an ETA with this? Almost needs to be a hotfix release as this codec is already being used in production.

@Joe Keck, what camera are you using?

As Wes noted, we are looking at many areas for optimization and have made strides in the last few releases already.
We recognize there are still many areas to improve performance and we are investing in appropriate areas.
Threads that are catch-alls are often non-actionable. Please keep giving us specific feedback on what workflows are slow for you.
Technical solutions may not always be as obvious as some people may be suggesting as the application architecture is often very different than people’s conception.
Short answer. Yes, we want to and will make it faster.
