Generally, the more GHz your CPU is capable of computing, the faster your computer will perform in After Effects. In a way, a CPU is a lot like the engine on your car.but instead of horse-power, CPUs are measured in Gigahertz (GHz). CPU - CENTRAL PROCESSING UNITĪ CPU, or central processing unit, is the brain of your computer. So before we go too far let's stop to chat a little bit about what each hardware component does in After Effects. We totally understand if hardware isn’t your strong suit. Let’s take a journey together and see what it takes to create the ultimate After Effects computer. We simply love the work they do and believe they are a fantastic resource for Motion Designers.īelow is a collection of everything we learned from the experience. Enjoy!Įditors Note: We were not paid by Puget Systems to create this content. We hope you find the results to be helpful and fun.
BEST COMPUTER FOR AFTER EFFECTS 2017 AND CINEMA 4D FULL
It was full of geeky terms, puns, and coffee. This turned out to be an epic project that exceeded our expectations. We enlisted the help of director Mike Pecci to document the process and the result is this sleek video, in-depth article, and computer building guide.Īlong the way we had help from our friends at Puget Systems and Adobe. It was clear that we were about to go on a journey - a quest to build the world’s fastest After Effects computer. As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti, this project was going to happen… The same look that inspired Experiment Fail Repeat and the $7 vs $1K Experiment. Instead of simply figuring out a way to make After Effects run faster, the team pondered a far more interesting question: Can we build the world’s fastest After Effects computer? We laughed, caught our breath, and then that look came across everyone’s eye. School of Motion teamed up with Puget Systems and Adobe to Develop the Ultimate After Effects Computer.
