There’s no change.

Oh well…

Maybe AE v11, when Apple has updated OpenGL in Lion….

I can hope.

Oh, I would suspect as some point we’d see the same Mercury System in AE that Premiere now features. But I imagine that it will be limited at first to a dozen or so features/effects.

In an ideal world I’d love to see that Mercury system run on OpenCL cards as well as CUDA. Apple and Nvidia aren’t playing well together these days, and there aren’t any good CUDA options for the Mac right now.

But this wouldn’t change my desire to see better OpenGL support. They are different animals.
