  Mac Pro 8 Core and After Effects

  Posted by Lori Newman on December 1, 2008 at 4:49 am

  Hi,

  I currently have a Mac Pro 1.1 dual core and am considering upgrading to a MacPro 8 core. Has anyone found this machine to speed up After Effects considerably?

  thanks

  MASSIVELY. If you make sure to get 1-2GB of RAM per core and use AE CS3 or CS4 it will fly. If you’re using AE7 then buy a copy of Gridiron Nucleo so all the extra cores get fired up.

  AE7 Pro – Nucleo – Mocha v1.2.3 – PS CS3 – FCP 5.1.4
  MacPro Quad 3GHz / ATI 1900XT / 8GB RAM / OSX 10.4.11
  30″ ACD / Decklink SP / SONY PVM-20M4E/ Wacom Intuos 3 A4 / XServe / United Digital RAID
  ———————————
  Production Studio CS2 – Combustion 3 – Mocha v1.0.1
  Win XP Pro 32 / Intel Core2Quad Q6600 / 2GB RAM / NVidia Quadro570 / DeckLink Pro / Roland DS-5s / Sony BVM-20G1E / 2 x Dell 2007FP / Wacom Intuos 3 A4 / 320GB boot/800GB RAID-0
