Everything is SO slow!

[TheGiantSoupBowl]

Hey! I use AS PRO 8 for PC.

But when I move an object, animate an object, move a bone, export, click to render and EVERY thing in between, every little things seems to load slowly and/or lag. I know it's not my laptop because it's brand new and when I play the final exported video it loads fine and everything sounds and looks great.

A lot of the time when it lags a LOT the program crashes and makes my computer frozen for a few minutes.

(NOTE: I'm not sure if I have this in the wrong section, but I'm new here and don't really know exactly where to put everything. (: )

Anyway, is there any REASON why it does this? Can I reduce it? Is this a known bug? Will it soon be fixed? Do you guys experience this?

Thanks!

I've found the auto-save feature can cause slowdowns and crashes. If you go into the edit sub-menu and under preferences, you can uncheck this option, it might improve your performance. Just remember to save your work every so often so you don't lose everything if it does crash.

big files (100s of points) with high quality options for (edit) display can slow things down when you make a change. How big is the .anme file that's giving problems?

It really depends. It all seems to be slow. I have a few files that are 35.7 MB, 33.5 KB, 1.74 MB, 1.24 MB, 1.38 MB, and 2.03 MB.

All are slow, but bigger files crash A LOT. The only reason the huge file out of those is so huge is because I have only 1 3D item instead of all 2D.

When you say 3d I'm assuming you mean such as Poser imports -- sorry but I don't really know enough about that to comment on that aspect.

However, viewtopic.php?t=20475 and viewtopic.php?t=19746 have some advice on file size.

depends on what you're animation is doing - but here's a thought on baking viewtopic.php?t=18732&highlight=baking (that's looking at physics - but you could maybe also think about it for backgrounds that don't need 'motion')
