Hey everyone
So I'm currently working on two projects in After Effects. One is about 20 minutes long and the source video (from youtube) takes up 14 GB of space on my computer. The rendered/edited/finished project is a .mov that is 9 GB. There are a ton of effects on it and many layers. There were no problems at all in the rendering and it only took a few minutes.
The second project is 40 minutes long (time-stretched from an original video that was 26 minutes long) and the original video took up only 460 MB of space on my computer. However, when I try to render it, it gives me an estimated rendering time of over 2 hours and it also tells me there isn't enough space on my computer for the hypothetical finished file. This happens even when I send it to the media encoder and try to render it in youtube 480p. Why is the second project causing me all these problems when the first one didn't? I know the video is way longer, but the original file is a lot smaller and the amount of space it's claiming to take up is more than even twice that of the first video. Thanks in advance!
