    Error AE CS3 – After Effects error: AE_OpenGL: Failed to generate shadow map (5065::0)

    Posted by Darin Miyashiro on January 28, 2008 at 5:29 pm

    Hi, I got this error when using AE CS3.
    I have a ATI RADEON X1300 Pro – graphics adapter – Radeon X1300 Pro – 256 MB.

    I had 3 layers, 1 solid, 1 text and 1 spotlight.
    I wanted to have the light shine on the text and cast
    a shadow on the solid layer.
    Then I got the error: AE_OpenGL: Failed to generate shadow map (5065::0).

    Do you know what could be the problem?

    System:
    Dell XPS 410, windows xp-pro
    RAM: 4gigs
    ATI RADEON X1300 Pro – graphics adapter – Radeon X1300 Pro – 256 MB

    How do I find out what version of OpenGL i’m using?

    Thanks

    Did you try switching off OpenGL in AE?

    Most pros turn it off — it’s not that well-implemented to be useful.

    How do you turn off OPEN GL in AE CS3?

    Thanks
