Change Disk Cache Location Having the disk cache on your computer can <strong>slow<\/strong> it down as it will be doing multiple things at once, so try moving your disk cache onto another hard drive like an external SSD. To do this, go to After <strong>Effects<\/strong> > Preferences > Media and Disk Cache.<\/p>\n<p>You asked, is 16GB RAM enough for After Effects? How Much RAM Should I be Using in After Effects? The minimum amount of RAM that <strong>After<\/strong> <strong>Effects<\/strong> needs to run is 8GB. However, Adobe recommends using 16GB of RAM. For my system I run 32GB of RAM which allows After Effects to run incredibly smooth.As you work on a composition, After Effects temporarily stores some rendered frames and source images in RAM, so that previewing and editing can occur more quickly.<\/p>\n<h2>Why is After Effects playing fast?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>This warning appears if you have the disk cache size set to greater than 80% of the available space on the drive. To make the warning go away, set the disk cache size to 80% or less of the free space on your drive, or like most of us &#8211; just click &#8220;never again&#8221; and don&#8217;t bother with it.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Why is After Effects not responding?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>CORRUPT CODECS: A common reason for After Effects crashing can be improperly installed, corrupt or malfunctioning codecs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is 32GB RAM overkill?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>For those who play modern gaming titles and wish for solid gaming systems, 32GB RAM is the best bet. Although, the 16GB RAM is the suggested memory capacity for the trending gaming titles. But, 32GB RAM makes gaming graphics and process more pleasant. In general, 32GB RAM capacity falls under the overkill category.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is 12 GB RAM enough for After Effects?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>To have good performance while editing videos, you should have at least 12GB, depending of course not only on your pc memory but also your Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and your Central Processing Unit (CPU). About adding memory, you probably can replace your RAM memory card who has 4GB by one that as 8GB.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is 64GB RAM too much?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Is 64\/128 GB of RAM Overkill? For the majority of users, it is. If you plan on building a PC purely for gaming and some general, basic, everyday activity, 64 GB of RAM is just too much. The amount of RAM you need will ultimately depend on your workload.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is 4GB RAM enough for After Effects?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Yes, you need at least 8GB RAM to render 3D projects faster. 4GB is quite good for like 10\u201320 seconds render but not enough for HUGE rendering. I&#8217;ve run Adobe After Effects in 4GB and it worked REALLY AWESOME but took a lot of time to render. Also, a multi core CPU is ideal to reduce your CPU load and fry it.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Can you use 8GB RAM with 16gb RAM?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>You can add another 16 GB chip to the 8 GB one in there now, but you really don&#8217;t want to leave it that way. When you have an empty memory slot, or you install memory in mismatched capacities (1 x 8 GB + 1 x 16 GB for example), the memory runs in the lower performing single data rate (SDR) mode.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is 16gb RAM enough for 3D animation?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>yes it is, 16 gb ram is enough for hardcore 3d rendering if you pair a good cpu and gpu with it. With rendering shifting to real-time renderers like Unreal Engine and Blender Evee, the rendering time does not matter anymore unless you are using arnold for filmmaking.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I get After Effects to start responding again?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qeuuny0Gjcc\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Why can&#8217;t I open After Effects?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>As suggested by Mylenium, try updating the driver and installing the windows updates.
