Why is AE so slow?

hi! i'm using current version of ae cc, updated few days ago. working off default settings. purchased workstation computer has 64 gigs of ram @ moment, 250 gb solid state drive,1 tb external drive, , 8 core processor. found out ae not support nividea graphics card sadly, may slowing me down.

i can't preview without 5 minute wait, , audio preview joke.over program runs slow can't use unless want sit , watch things load 90 percent of sitting. strange since blender runs quick.

my question is; have buy make puppy work in real time? money no issue- if need graphics card supported have no problem buying titan or whatever needed, if need dual cpu can no problem, can go terabyte of ram here. before spend money though, thing should focus on more? ae use speed?

i have been using ae year on mac similar speed issues- except mac had percent of specs current computer has.

thank way advice!

what in project? make big difference in how ae works. if have couple of shape layers moving around, should preview caching in real time or faster.

 

ae must cache preview ram before can play in real time.

 

if grabbed template, things notoriously complex , require long render time. if you're building scratch, should lot faster.

 

if using ray-traced renderer, gpu matters lot, that's obsolete feature, wouldn't worry (and wouldn't use it). other that, current version of ae doesn't use gpu @ all.

 

remember, you're seeing in ae final render. when play in blender, not seeing final render; animation preview. so, if have complex template, it's rendering entire scene.

 

there tips , tricks pick work ae on time how speed workflow (things previewing @ lower resolution, every other frame, draft 3d, animation tests lower quality settings on effects, etc.).
