Are you tired of waiting for your compositions to render? Did you know that the file format you choose can have a significant impact on rendering time? It’s not just about the features of different image file formats, it’s about their performance differences. Think about it, if you could make your 15-minute render take only 90 seconds, wouldn’t that be amazing? And what if you could achieve that without spending a dime on new hardware? Well, you can! All you have to do is stop using PNG files.
In a series of benchmarks, it was discovered that PNG files are astonishingly slow compared to other file formats like JPEG, TIFF, and Prores. In fact, in one test, the PNG render was over 20 times slower than the other formats. So, if you want to speed up your rendering time, it’s time to say goodbye to PNGs and hello to faster file formats.
But what about EXR files? There’s a persistent
