Fast live viewer but slow final render for animation

[elihu252]

I can't figure this out. I have an animation that updates very quickly with the live viewer. The samples are rendered almost instantaneously. However, when I initiate a final render (regardless of the resolution), there is a delay in between each frame for several seconds.

It basically pauses at "start rendering" for a very long time, but "rendering samples" happens instantly. I have a mograph animation that I've baked in. Other than that, I have a few cloners, but nothing too complex. It plays back fine in the live viewer without any hiccups.

I really need to be able to create quick, low res, previews so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have subdivision objects, etc...?

Yes, I have a few. And again, there is almost no loading time in the live viewer for them, even if it's set to higher resolution / quality.

Check this picture to see why i'm asking that. Also keep render method on "Auto detect".

I'm an idiot and I have brought shame upon these forums. Thanks.
