Click on this button, and you will see how much time each of your ElementAny component manipulated in the Element Tree
costs:
This is golden technique to optimize content in Smode! Other optimization techniques are described in Use optimisation tools to accelerate a composition It is running fast? Could be faster. Read More .
Note that profiling may have a minimal impact on the overall performance of the compo, so it's better to turn it off once optimization is done.
Profiling sometimes might be slightly imprecise, especially in complex scenes with Shared Element A shared element that can be reused at several places like an After Effects precomposition Read More ,

or other kinds of indirection. In such cases, if you really want a fine measure of
how much the composition actually costs, the most reliable way is:
