broken down into three categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2D &#8211; performance when working with traditional 2D-based layers and effects<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3D &#8211; performance when working with 3D-based layers and objects using the &#8220;Advanced 3D&#8221; renderer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tracking &#8211; performance for tracking effects<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Shown below is a breakdown of the tests for the above categories, including basic composition settings as well as a description of the contents and an explanation of how the test is performed. Each entry also includes a &#8220;Processing Type&#8221; entry that indicates what hardware is the primary contributor to performance (CPU or GPU). This was determined by comparing results between an Intel Core i5 and Core i9 CPU, as well as an NVIDIA RTX __60 and RTX __80 GPU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2d-tests\">2D Tests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2D tests include between five and nine compositions, depending on the benchmark preset selected. These projects span from relatively simple ones using the built-in animation presets, to more complex projects based on public tutorials, to projects provided by our friends at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofmotion.com\/\">School of Motion<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corridordigital.com\/\">Corridor Digital<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Performance for the 2D tests is measured in FPS as calculated from the number of frames divided by the time taken to complete the render. The following render settings are used:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Render Settings<\/strong>: Best Setting (Default options except for &#8220;Effects&#8221; set to &#8220;All On&#8221;)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Output Module: <\/strong>High Quality (ProRes 422 at full resolution)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th>Test Name<\/th><th>Resolution<\/th><th>Bit Depth<\/th><th>Benchmark Preset<\/th><th>Processing Type<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Skater<\/strong><\/td><td>1920&#215;1080<\/td><td>16 bpc<\/td><td>Standard, Extended<\/td><td>CPU<\/td><td>Provided by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofmotion.com\/\">School of Motion<\/a><br><br>Slightly modified from a shot in their &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Er04BDbtSIg?si=Em-DLMbF0noA2liY&amp;t=22\">Join the Movement<\/a>&#8221; video to remove C4D layers.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Behaviors Animation Presets<\/strong><\/td><td>1920&#215;1080<\/td><td>16 bpc<\/td><td>Standard, Extended<\/td><td>CPU<\/td><td>Includes 21 different behavior animation presets applied to text and shape layers.

Adobe has recently added a new &#8220;Advanced 3D&#8221; renderer in addition to the Classic 3D and Cinema 4D options. Unlike other aspects of After Effects, the Advanced 3D renderer is <strong><em>highly<\/em> <\/strong>GPU accelerated and performance can vary massively depending on the brand and performance of the GPU in the system.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"alert alert-warning border border-warning rounded puget-wp-alert\" role=\"alert\">\n\t<p>Currently, the Advanced 3D renderer in After Effects <strong>performs exceptionally well on NVIDIA GPUs &#8211; averaging 4x faster than AMD or up to 20x faster than Apple systems<\/strong>. This is accurate, and a proper representation of how After Effects currently performs in these workloads. If Adobe introduces optimizations in the future, our benchmark will automatically reflect those changes.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The 3D tests include between two and four compositions, depending on the benchmark preset selected. These projects have a range of complexity depending on the number of built-in 3D layers, external 3D objects, lighting and render quality settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Performance for the 3D tests is measured in FPS as calculated from the number of frames divided by the time taken to complete the render.

Due to high run-to-run variance, these tests are run three times, with the fastest result being logged and used for scoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a base, we are using a lightweight 1920&#215;1080 H.264 clip and applying the tracking effect in two ways. For the Roto Brush 3.0 test, we have a layer with the Roto Brush Matte already created on frame 1. The benchmark plays through the composition via RAM Preview, generating each frame on the fly. Performance is measured by how long it takes to generate all frames in terms of frames per second (FPS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Warp Stabilize and 3D Camera Tracker, the relevant effect is applied to a 100-frame 1920&#215;1080 clip. Performance is measured by how long it takes the system to complete both the &#8220;Analyze&#8221; and application steps and recorded in terms of FPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th>Test Name<\/th><th>Benchmark Preset<\/th><th>Processing Type<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Roto Brush 3.0<\/strong><\/td><td>Standard, Extended<\/td><td>CPU, AI<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Warp Stabilize<\/strong><\/td><td>Standard, Extended<\/td><td>CPU<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>3D Camera Tracker<\/strong><\/td><td>Extended<\/td><td>CPU<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    jQuery(document).ready(function(){\n        var slid_to = 0;\n        jQuery('#image-gallery-72341').on('slid.bs.carousel', function(e){\n            slid_to = e.to;\n        });\n        jQuery('#image-gallery-72341LargeCarousel').on('slid.bs.carousel', function(e){\n            slid_to = e.to;\n            jQuery('#image-gallery-72341').carousel(slid_to);\n        });\n\n        jQuery('#image-gallery-72341 .carousel-item img').click(function(){\n            jQuery('#image-gallery-72341LargeCarousel').carousel(slid_to);\n        });\n    });\n<\/script>\n\n<div id=\"image-gallery-72341\" class=\"carousel carousel-dark slide gallery\" data-interval=\"false\">\n\t<div class=\"carousel-indicators\">\n\t\t            <div data-target=\"#image-gallery-72341\" data-slide-to=\"0\" class=\"active\">\n                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-cdn.pugetsystems.com\/2024\/12\/Roto-Brush-Ground-00029-150x150.jpg\" class=\"carousel-thumbnail\" alt=\"After Effects Benchmark Test -

This helps to normalize the scores so that larger or smaller results are not unfairly weighted. It also allows for the benchmark to be more flexible and better able to handle large performance shifts due to either application optimizations or the launch of more powerful hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the actual score calculations, we start by dividing the tests by type with a score generated for each group by taking the geometric mean of all the test results. This score is then used to calculate the Overall Score<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-major-scores\">Major Scores<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The tests are divided by category (2D, 3D, Tracking) with a score calculated based on the geomean of each test within that group. Each score is multiplied by a different scoring coefficient to bring the scores across all our benchmarks roughly in line with each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>2D Score = geomean (2D test1, 2D test2, ...) * 17\n3D Score = geomean (3D test1, 3D test2, ...) * 21\nTracking Score = geomean (Tracking test1, Tracking test2, ...) * 10<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-overall-score\">Overall Score<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These major scores are then combined into the Overall Score using a geometric mean and multiplied by 100 to differentiate the Overall Score from the Major Scores. Currently, we do not weigh any of the major scores more than any of the others, so each contributes equally to the Overall Score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Overall Score = geomean (2D Score, 3D Score, Tracking Score) * 100<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This method results in an Overall Score with a typical run-to-run variance of about 1-2% and Major Scores with a variance of about 5%, assuming there is no thermal or other performance throttling occurring on the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-benchmark-groups\">Benchmark Groups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Results in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pugetbench\/results\/compare\/PugetBench%20for%20After%20Effects\/\">Puget Bench public benchmark database<\/a> are grouped according to the benchmark and application version in order to maintain a balance of performance consistency and sample size. For example, if we are forced to change our benchmark to add, remove, or change a test, we do not want to group the results with those from a different benchmark version. More commonly, however, is that there is a change in the host application (Premiere Pro, Photoshop, etc.) that affects performance. This could be an update that improves GPU usage or changes how effects are processed, which can throw off comparisons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, we try not to split results into too many small groups. Having more results in each group makes the data more useful\u2014it smooths out odd scores and gives you a better idea of how different hardware stacks up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, for After Effects, we have the following score groups:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>After Effects 25.3-25.4 | Puget Bench for After Effects 1.0.0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>No changes to the benchmark<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In After Effects 25.3, Adobe made a number of performance improvements that dramatically changed how some hardware performs:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Improved performance for 3D workflows for Apple Silicon.
