Hi there,
For a few weeks, we were experiencing serious issues on After Effects CC 2014. Render with multiprocessing enabled was not as fast as it used to be. Worse: it failed to do more than one render without restarting the app.
After a lot of tests, including uninstalling/cleaning and reinstalling Adobe CC 2014 apps one by one... We can say that current version of Creative Cloud Desktop app includes some shared component that kills multiprocessing in AE CC 2014.
We don't know which component is to be blamed... We don't know why...
So we now work with standalone apps, don't install Creative Cloud managing app and won't update any piece of Adobe software.
All we can say is this: after removing this important function in CC 2015... With no information about how CC 2016 will work on multi-CPU architectures... After removing MXF export in AE... ("But you can use Media Encoder" Do you know Media Encoder is SLOW? Media Encoder should stick to what it does well: encoding. Not rendering.)
Do guys at Adobe realize that we use these tools for work? Stop the mess!
