Is there a problem with CS3 and 2008 Mac Pros ??
Since I upgraded to from a 4 core a new Mac Pro 8 core, After Effects CS3 crashes more frequently.
I’ve turned OpenGL off, tried with multiprocessing enabled and disabled, turned off Nucleo and every other option I can think of.
I note a few other posts that report weird behavior on these machines.
As this is also my first foray into Leopard, I’m not sure whether this is an OS or hardware issue.
Anyone else??

CS3 is fine on my 8-core, OS10.4.11.
Leopard (or QT 7.4 if you have it) may be the problem. Have you upgraded to AE 8.0.2?

We just set up a 2008 Mac Pro at work with CS3. So I’ll definitely let you know if we experience any problems. I will say that prior to this I was using CS3 on my first rev Mac Pro under Leopard/QT 7.4.1 and not having any more trouble (actually less) than my coworker running it on his Mac Pro under Tiger/QT 7.3.?

Hmmm. Sounds like more troubleshooting for me.
I was running on first gen Mac Pro Quad using 10.4.1 before with no issues.
Thank you both for the replies. I do have Nucleo which I find indispensable. Perhaps I should chuck it.
I’ve repaired permissions, done Onyx cache cleaning etc. Next I’ll light some incense and wave a dead chicken over the keyboard…

Next?! You should’ve done that first! (;

I disabled Nucleo Pro 2. I found that AE is much more stable since then

Waving the dead chicken over the keyboard produced no discernible results however removing Nucleo Pro from the Plug ins directory did.
I’m not certain where the conflict lies but I haven’t crashed once since removing Nucleo.

I’ve seen Nucleo do some weird things to systems… I don’t know exactly how it messes things up, and it only seems to do it occasionally, but it’s enough to warrant not installing it (in my opinion) as it doesn’t improve my workflow much.
