To run After <strong>Effects<\/strong>, you&#8217;ll <strong>need<\/strong> a 64-bit processor (CPU) and at least 8GB of RAM (<strong>Adobe<\/strong> recommends a minimum of 16GB of RAM). Most modern CPUs can run After Effects, but if your CPU is only 32 bit, you&#8217;ll <strong>need<\/strong> to replace it.<\/p>\n<p>Beside above, what graphics card do you need for <strong>After<\/strong> Effects? What GPU works best with <strong>Adobe<\/strong> After Effects? Adobe recommends using a graphics card with 2GB vRAM, which would be most current gen GPUs. After Effects relies quite heavily on a GPUs performance for most tasks, so we recommend going with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080Ti. The best gaming graphics card on the market.<\/p>\n<p>Also the question is, how much RAM is required for Adobe <strong>After<\/strong> 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 <strong>Effects<\/strong> to run incredibly smooth. I have used some systems with 64GB of RAM, and the efficiency with which <strong>After<\/strong> Effects works is astonishing.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, what computer can run After <strong>Effects<\/strong>? <iframe style=\"margin-top:25px;width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JAvDGaM7YFU\"><\/iframe>An i5 will work to run After Effects. The clock speed of the processor will make a big difference in how fast AE renders things.<\/p>\n<h2>Can i3 10th Gen run After Effects?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>No. you can NOT run After Effects on your machine. You need a new.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is i3 good for After Effects?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>After effects need as much as RAM you can put into it and you need a processor to use all that RAM so i3 is not recommended but if you want to just tey the software for fun then go ahead. Also After effects is not an editing software, you should use premiere pro for that.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Does After Effects use more CPU or GPU?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>After Effects&#8217; render engine heavily relies on your computer&#8217;s central processing unit (CPU)\u2014more so than it does the graphics card (GPU). However, the graphics card isn&#8217;t entirely irrelevant when it comes to rendering times, as there are certain effects within the program that utilize the GPU in the rendering process.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Can After Effects work on 4GB RAM?<\/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.<\/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>Does AE use GPU?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>There is a host of After Effects features that use GPU to accelerate rendering. To view these effects, select Project Settings > Video and Effects Rendering.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Do I need 64GB RAM for After Effects?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have a specific need, we generally recommend at least 64GB of RAM for most users, or 128GB if you are working with higher resolutions (4K or above). Keep in mind that if you use other programs at the same time as After Effects, you will need enough RAM for all of them at the same time.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is After Effects hard to learn?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a \u201chard to learn, easy to master\u201d type of program, but once you get the hang of it, it&#8217;s essential for creating motion graphics or visual effects for your projects.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is i5 good for video editing?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>For applications that do not utilize a higher than 6 cores, you will be happy with a core i5. However, video editing can eat your core count particularly when rendering and thus for this reason, I highly recommend an i7 if your budget allows.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Can I editing video on i3 processor?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Well, the i3 will do video editing just fine, but the i5 will just do it quicker, so really, that decision is up to you.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intel and Apple Silicon (Rosetta2 Supported) Multi-Core Processor. macOS versions 10.14, 10.15 or macOS Big Sur 11.0 and later.
