Joey Korenman (00:03): Oh, Hey, there. He listened to at school of motion, we use after effects every single day. And we were wondering, how fast can we make it go? If money were no object. And we had an army of PC building geniuses at our disposal, what kind of system could we build? What components would go into it. And frankly, which pieces make the biggest difference. And finally, how much would all of that cost? So to find out, we enlisted the help of our friends at Adobe, and then worked with Puget systems, a high-end PC builder based in Seattle. And we asked them to build us the ultimate after effects computer. We also brought in director Mike PECI, who is a Puget systems partner to shoot this, to make it look a lot sexier, which is why I look like Depeche mode threw up on me. You might be wondering why we flew all the way across the country to build a computer in Seattle. Well, we wanted to find out just how far you can push after effects in. We needed a total expert to help us Puget systems fit. The bill

Eric Brown (00:59): Do systems is a custom workstation manufacturer, and we believe the computer should be a pleasure purchasing. Oh, and they should just work. They should get your job done in stat, your way, having an actual bad-ass high-performance computer actu ally will allow you to stay in your creative process and do what you do. But

Joey Korenman (01:15): After effects is a MoGraph Swiss army knife, and it can take a lot of horsepower to get the most out of it. We had our audience want a benchmark developed by Puget systems to get a sense of how fast those artists machines were running. And then we asked Puget to try and beat the highest score, but before they could attempt that we wanted to know how to approach building the ultimate after effects.

Matt Bach (01:36): It's a machine. There are some things that are kind of generic. Um, every computer is going to have a power supply. Every computer is going to have a motherboard and those core components, we tend to not deviate too much, but then there's other things, the processor or the video cards, a lot of times storage, those things are really dependent on the program. Every program is different. We have to look at each one of those individually and figure out like, okay, how does the software actually use the hardware?

Joey Korenman (02:00): What do we need to think about when building a computer for after effects?

Matt Bach (02:03): What you really get out of PC is you get the choice of the components that are going to go into it. Because apple, you have a choice of like forcing the news, uh, versus with us, you could have hundreds of CPU's and then we dial that down to the four that are the best for after effects. And it'll be different for the best CPS that are for premier,

Joey Korenman (02:21): Andrew and Jason, two engineers who actually work on after effects confirm this for us,

Andrew Cheyne (02:26): Their core CPU speed is better than getting the one that has the most multi CPU capabilities

Jason Bartell (02:34): For the processor. You want the processor that has the fastest single core performance. So if that means going with a 10 core, rather than a 16 or something that
