Hi everyone,
I've been trying the trial version of After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder to produce a 4:30 HD music video for Youtube (H.264) with minimal effects (i.e. a picture in the background with slight wiggle effect and an audio reactor on top). I exported to AME for rendering (match source-high bitrate) and it has now been running over 8 hours, with 12 apparently to go. Is this reasonable? 24 hours for 4 and a half minutes seems rather long.
I use Windows 10 on an Acer Aspire laptop with Intel Core i5-6200U 2.40 GHz, 8 GB RAM. Right now, the CPU is at 100%, using 70% for AME. No other programs are running. My graphics card is Intel HD Graphics 520 (I'm assuming that's subpar). The computer has been optimized for music production, so I'm not concerned about the audio being the cause.
Am I doomed, or is there something I can do? Thanks!
