Haha, okay
I split it up and I think I'm fine now. Thanks!

Haha, okay, glad you're having fun! Ok, I get it, I just didn't think my project was so complex, but maybe it is. In average I'd say each clip is composed of about 8-10 layers with 15 frames that are stretched over about ±200 frames. And the whole project contains about 20 clips.

Okay, thanks! Then I'll soon split the project up in several parts and see if it works fine like that.

furushil: Nah, I can't really compare the two, I don't exactly have a big AE file. I just noticed that in general, it opens much more quickly and also rendering goes much faster... But my AE files aren't that big. For one small video/animation of 1:15 min, the file is about 300KB, which of course ta...

Nothing but Firefox and iTunes The thing is, since my update yesterday (RAM+SSD) everything else goes SUPERfast, working with AfterEffects is SO MUCH faster now, programs start faster - it's just TVP that seems not to care about the hardware upgrades.

Yeeeeah, I don't mean to offend but well...I'd rather have it take up more space and saving faster

Thanks! Okay, so now I'm working with TVP 10.5.5 64 bits, but it didn't change anything. I drew just 3 more frames, saved it, it still takes 1:51 min to save the 1,77GB file. Then I opened the big file (5,42GB) again, made some changes, and saved it, and it takes 2:09 min now - at least it makes mor...

Ah, whoops, I didn't know there was already a 10.5.5. I'm downloading it right now ;) But, ehm...how do I get/change it to/... the 64 bit version? x) Also, what's happened now: I've got the smaller file (1,77GB by now) but now it takes again 2 full minutes to save, so 1 minute more than the 5,42GB v...

schwarzgrau: Strangely, this worked for now. I copied everything and pasted it into a new project of the same dimensions, et voilà - 1,75GB. Now I'm curious to see how fast it will gain weight again :D Elodie: Ehm, I guess 32bit - in "About TVP" it says 10.5.4. 32 bit. "TVPP compressi...

Do you mean the "split clip" button in the Animator Panel? I've used that for splitting clips that got too long (frame-wise, but they're still not very long, I'm making rather short clips), but not to divide the whole project. If so, then I don't see the right option in the Animator Panel....

Do I need to check or uncheck it? Either way, it was unchecked, I checked it, didn't help (made it worse, so I guess unchecked is better).
(I'm using TVP 10.5 by the way.)

Hm, thanks but no, it's already set to 0 (I think by default, at least I didn't change it).

Thanks for that quick reply! Yes, I had hoped the SSD would make a bigger difference... (I hope it does with the preview in smaller files at least. Already when I started the project and it was only about 25MB, it already had problems with a smooth preview if I remember correctly. Ever since I had a...

Hey everyone :) I'm new here and I'm also pretty new to TVP in general, so if I ask some very stupid questions, I'm sorry. :D Trouble is: I'm working on my bachelor project for university right now, which is a ±3 min animation film. I wanted to do the animatic in one big project, then (as I saw the ...
