  • keylight problem: the plugin itself

    Hey all!

    I am having an issue with keylight.

    last year, my company purchased three computers. two of them are no-nonsense, bare boned dells (i dont have the specs on hand). the other is a boxx computer.

    WS DUAL XEON X5355 2.66GHz, 8MB cache, 1.33 GHz FSB (Quad-Core)
    4GB FBDIMM DDR2 667 REG ECC (4 -1GB FBDIMMS)
    NVIDIA Quadro FX 4600 768MB PCI-E
    150GB 10,000rpm SATA 16MB Cache
    500GB Serial ATA RAID 0 Array (2x 250GB 7,200rpm)
    18x Dual Layer DVD–RW Writer
    3 Port Firewire 800 (1394b) Adapter
    Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio (Windows Only)
    Windows XP Professional Edition SP2
    =====================================

    now, the boxx out performs the dells in EVERY sense except when using keylight in After Effects, it lags whenever i do ANYTHING: apply the effect, pick a color, adjust any of the settings, ANYTHING, it takes a good 15 seconds to preview the frame (the dells will almost IMMEDIATELY update). rendering also takes quite a while. we’ve done tests rendering the exact same clip using the exact same plug-in updates and the exact same After Effects, and the boxx, once i’ve finally got the key all set up, takes twice as long.

    i love keylight, and i’ve never had an issue with it before. i’m just so confused as to why a machine that is so quick with everything else is so slow using keylight.

    any insight would be amazing.

    thank you,
    Hunter Christy

    i disabled, and it didnt do anything. i’ve tried updating my video card drivers, i know i have the latest keylight update.

    i’m so confused.

    does keylight hate dual quadcores?
