Photoshop layers taking forever to render

Post by SpaceBoy64 »

I used the Photoshop layer import and was very pleased... until I decided to render.

I started a render, and left to go grocery shopping. When I got back, only a few frames had rendered! :shock: At that rate, my project will never be completed.

Anybody have any idea why it's so slow? Vector rendering is really quick.

It's 1280 x 720. 10 layers maybe?

I shut off all but one layer and that was taking way too long.

I ended up using Trace Drawing to create vector characters and rendered them separately, then I did the rest of the compositing and animation in After Effects. I added a bunch of stuff and some blurring and distortion effects, and it still only took 19 minutes to render the whole thing in AE.
