  • AE 6.5.1 randomly uses 100% CPU

    Posted by Jack Kelly on September 24, 2005 at 6:49 pm

    Hi,

    I’ve noticed that AE seems to randomly want to use 100% CPU even when it appears to be doing nothing. Quiting AE and re-starting it fixes the problem for a short while and then AE gets greedy again.

    Anyone know what’s going on?

    I’m running AE 6.5.1 Pro on Win XP on an Athlon 64.

    Many thanks,
    Jack

    Hey, man I feel your pain. This happens to me every once in a while as well. In fact this just happend to me over the weekend. AFX block everything including my USB mouse, although the keyboard worked so I was able to cancel AFX and reboot. But it gets annoying and I don’t know why it does this. I have noticed that is seems to do it most when I am rendering or working on HD files, but I was working in SD over the weekend and the same thing still happened. AFX takes up 100% of the CPU usage even when it is minimzed and doing nothing.

    So good luck to you, and to us all.

    George
