I'm starting to collab for the first time with another animator, as such he's giving me his .dmx files however every file has the same issue, no matter how long the animation is, the ammount of effects, it could even be an animation without a single thing it takes days to render the animation.

Even a simple 1 minute long animation takes + than 46 hours to render and I'm not even sure if it does in fact render it, I haven't got the time to wait for such.

My guess is: This issue is probably created when he sends me the dmx file through Gmail or the file is currupted by default on his SFM. My partner didn't mention any problem on the rendering time on his SFM as well.

Something also worth saying is the fact that when I start rendering it my computer goes full slow when he never did AND a full white window in place of the render window for a couple of seconds until the normal render window shows up revealing "46 hours left".

We are currently trying to find a solution by sending the file on other websites, meanwhile if anyone here had or knows how to solve this problem it would be highly appreciated.
