Improving speed for aerender.exe (Adobe After effects CC 2017) I'm working on a project that should render as many videos as possible.
Only 3 images in the project change after every render.
The output length is 12 seconds and it takes about 90 seconds to render the video.

After Effects is running on a Windows 10 device with 64gb ram, a GTX 1060 videocard, a i7 processor and a Samsung 960 EVO 500GB SSD.

When rendering a video the SSD and CPU usages go to 100%.

Are there ways to speed up this small renders even more?
I would try using a seperate ssd for your project files and assets. You'd have one for your os and software and one for the project.
