AE 8.01 for Mac – open GL

[Craig Wall]

OK… well I can now enable OpenGL…

That’s all I know so far…

[Craig Wall]

So far 8.0.1 is a good news/bad news proposition

For whatever reason I’m getting MUCH better rendering.

The bad news is that I can’t do a RAM preview at all! Somebody missed quality control with that bug!

I don’t see any mention of this update on Adobe’s website. Is this available via the Updater application only?

The global Adobe auto updater popped up on my screen and said,

“Goodies for you Today!” (something like that)

I clicked to see what was the fuss and the magic box said, AE 8.01.

There was only the tiniest description in the dialog box of what was new but it did reference something about OpenGL.

Three minutes later I was updated and re-launched and I confirmed in AE’s preferences that I COULD enable Open GL!

i’d like to use open GL but not being able to ram preview is pretty severe upgrade bug, kind of makes it unuseable doesn’t it? did you find a work-around for that or were you able to uninstall the upgrade back to 8.0? just wondering, anyone else upgrade with that same no ram preview problem?

[Mike Procunier]

I just ran Adobe Updater & it said there were no updates available ????? Looks like you got the mystery update craigcow.

AFX CS3 8.0.1 does shows up on my adobe updater and says it “addresses issues with MP4 import and export. in addition this update addresses OpenGL issues on supported video cards.” not a mystery update but still one i’m reluctant to mess with in light of your ram preview issues. any further insights into that little gem.

Hi All –

Just to confirm I have installed this update on 4 of our machines. (2 Mac Pro, 1 MBP, 1 G4) and it enabled Open GL on all.

Ram preview is still working fine for me.

Cheers

I am able to RAM Preview — with the exception of one of my files.

Go figure. I like the upgrade so far–seems a lot faster.

thanks, that’s good news. guess i’ll go ahead with the upgrade.
