What are you rendering? (e.g., 3D motion graphics, character animation, or heavy VFX?)
For those learning After Effects CC 2017, several official resources are available:
Ensure your graphics card is running Studio drivers (for NVIDIA) rather than Game Ready drivers to maximize stability.
She hadn't. But the render had.

It runs incredibly fast on mid-range or older computers that struggle with the heavy RAM demands of newer Creative Cloud versions.
Version 14.2.1 solidified the performance of the C4D renderer, allowing users to create 3D text and logo extrusions directly within the AE interface without needing a high-end external 3D suite.
The simplified 3D workflow includes a single slider for controlling quality and rendering settings while utilizing the same camera, lighting, and text animation tools familiar to After Effects users. This democratized access to 3D content creation made motion graphics more accessible than ever.
Version 14.2.1 integrated professional-tier Lumetri Color scopes directly into the After Effects workspace. Users gained access to Vectorscopes, Histograms, and Parade scopes, allowing for precise color grading and broadcast-safe compliance monitoring. 3. Camera-Shake Deblur
