Help With Adobe After Effects using the Magic Bullet Suite

[Syphic]

Im trying to render 1 hour worth of footage in After Effects using the Magic Bullet suite with all the effects enabled and when i am in the render queue and begin to render it states that its going to take 120 hours to finish, is this how long it takes or are my setting just wrong? Can anyone help me out?

no -- it might take that long if you have all the effects enabled and i dont know your other settings or your machine .. at least it starts that lenth but it should come down faster than that ..



on a dual 2.8 xeon with 4 gig memory it might take me 24++ hours (sometimes 2-3 days) .. but im working also at pretty high resolution ..


are you sure you need all the effects enabled in MB ? ussually you dont need them all ..

My setup is a
Amd Athlon 2000xp
768 mb ram pc 2100
master: western digital 80gig 8mb buffer
slave: Maxtor 60 gig 7200rpm
geforce 4mx 440 64meg
Windows Xp pro

Im following the "Quickdraw: setting up a simple NTSC Magic Bullet Project" in the Magic bullet quick start users guide.
All im trying to do is get a decent "Film Look" effect on 1 hours worth of footage. Any help would be appreciated. thanx
