Body: <p>Help,
  I have setup Adobe media encoder and After effects for cuda. My project is only 3,5 min long and my rendering time is about 2,5 hours. I have resized all my footage to match my resolution (1080p, 29,95 fps). I think this is strange because I have a decent graphics card. Here are my pc specs if it is going to help:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Amd A6 cpu</li>
  <li>Nvidia GeForce GTX 960</li>
  <li>8 GB ram</li>
  <li>Windows 10</li>
  <li>3 2tb hard disks (about 1tb free for each drive)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I haven't changed any settings except the cuda renderer option.</p>
  
  <p>Am I doing something wrong, is there something I can change in my settings to improve rendering time?</p>
  
  <p>Please help.</p>

Comments.Text: @stib the settings are matching, maybe it has something todo with that I only have generated media and only 1 image

Comments.Text: @stib I'm using trap code for an audio visualiser. Maybe that is the cause?

Comments.Text: you could do a test render without it on to see if that's what it is. Just FYI a lot of AE rendering doesn't use the GPU, especially some of the older plugins, so CPU is the bottleneck.

  Help,
  I have setup Adobe media encoder and After effects for cuda. My project is only 3,5 min long and my rendering time is about 2,5 hours. I have resized all my footage to match my resolution (1080p, 29,95 fps). I think this is strange because I have a decent graphics card. Here are my pc specs if it is going to help:
  
  * Amd A6 cpu
  * Nvidia GeForce GTX 960
  * 8 GB ram
  * Windows 10
  * 3 2tb hard disks (about 1tb free for each drive)
  
  I haven't changed any settings except the cuda renderer option.
  
  Am I doing something wrong, is there something I can change in my settings to improve rendering time?
  
  Please help.
