Re: Nucleo - Fast Preview or Spec Preview?

Yes - both methods use all CPU's. Fast Preview was a feature of Nucleo standard that we kept in Nucleo Pro as many users were comfortable with it. Spec Preview works in the background using all CPU to create the green RAM cache line in AE while you work in the comp.

The difference is - we throttle Spec Preview so it won't interfere with how AE behaves while you're working. Therefore - depending on the situation (like turning performance to maximum in NP2 prefs), fast preview will generate the preview as fast as possible - with little regard to the performance of AE.

So really - it comes down to - do you want to render and work - then spec preview is the thing to use. If you want the preview as fast as possible and are willing to not use AE while its rendering - then use fast preview.
