10 Ways to Get Faster in After Effects | Workflow Tips & Techniques

Thanks

thank you very much for this video!

This is great! Thank you!

Hi Ben, hope you are well I worked on a video/animation in AE and when I rendered it out the quality was crap is there anyway to trouble shoot this. Can you maybe make a tutorial on how to make a 3D thing in AE or point me to a video on how to do it like you did in your pineapple on pizza video, to get a reference for your turning pineapple. Sorry if this is rude of me to ask.

4. Why replace manually instead of making a proxy?

how make this colors bar for layers?

Thanks Ben! Hopping for a promo to make your Master. Here in Brazil is 5x$ :(

Mini flowchart is mental! So useful can't believe I didn't use it before!

You are my creative angel from down under! Thank you, so much gratitude for who you are Ben💖

The mini flow is a major key! And I wish there was a similar feature in premiere with nested clips

Thanks Ben 🙏🏻👏🏼 seni seviyorum😍

Very good tips

You should use something like render garden, The export will be 4time faster, it depends on how many cores do you have (I cannot believe it, but it's insane!)

Instead of nr.4 prerender, I prefer to create a proxy for the render intensive comp (make sure to set up a high quality proxy setting -and switch on use proxies for the final render), I find it cleaner as I don't add layers to the comp that I then have to enable/disable. If you want to go back in and make adjustments just disable the proxy checkbox! Loving your tutorials btw

Im using Ae cc2015, new project option in preferences is not there. I think its in cc2020 only

Thank you so much, Ben!👍 You definitely deserve 10 millions subscribers!!!🤗

Thanks for all the tips! you're definitely my go-to After Effects guru :)

I always thought Ben had a million subscribers. Ben’s so amazing

Must have1

No.1 hardware
Okay im out

I'd like to add; Adobe media encoder, which allows you to render a project and work on others at the same time without having to wait for the render to finish.

Can it help with my laptop? I have 8 gb ram / i5-9300H / video card is 1660ti. Or i need to purchase better laptop? Cause mine keeps crashing cause of the memory. Thanks in advance for any answers!

I just need to tell you that I love you. Thanks for everything Ben! Also I'm high and happy

Hi Ben! Thanks so much for the awesome tutorials :) Quick question, I noticed you render out of After Effects itself, would you recommend this over using Media Encoder? I was always under the assumption that ME was faster. Thanks!

so good

Thank you guy! I love your videos!

This may be a silly question, but how did you set the Labels script UI to be vertical?

Thank you!

I like fly to bat ass. Thank you)

great great video!! keep it up

Thank you Ben for these great tips!! :)

I agree with #11 to an extent but it's worth noting that by building everything in AE you have the option to set a single control layer for global color adjustments or other parameters. Though this is generally only an issue for larger projects/sequences or if you aren't certain on a color palette yet.

wish i knew about changing the autosave time sooner... Ive probably lost 20+ hours of work because of crashes haha

Thanks for giving me motivation to get busy animating

You're are king! <3 <3 <3

11th tip is the best tip

Thank you Ben, your video is always helpful to me. I have a few questions about no.2. I installed kbar2 this time. But I don’t know how to apply ‘One-click label’ and ‘overlord’ you mentioned. I need to your help. I’ll be waiting for your answer.

Hey Ben would you ever consider making Illustator tutorials? AI is the one Adobe program I really struggle with and it would be great to learn from an animator like you. Thanks!

i call him the NOISE GUY ; great man.

You can use proxys instead of pre rendering the videos manually

You are fantastic! Thank you! :)

When you say SSD for all media, do you mean using an external SSD with a laptop? So to have everything (project, assets, etc.) on an external and then only using the laptop for working with them?

How did you get the H. 264 in the render output?

A m a z i n g !
Thanks man🕺🕺

...I use the start screen all the time. It's rare that I'm only going in to a projects once, so seeing that top 5-10 most recent ones I've worked on and being able to open it with a click seems beneficial.

Great video, any tips on helping with layout and alignment? Thank you

thanks for the template:) and the tips ofc!
