  • New Ocho having AE issues.

    I’m blessed to be working on a new 8 core with 8 gig ram, & 4 internal drives, but am having issues working in AE 7. For some reason, it is constantly unable to draw frames & I have to dump the caches. It has also froze up on me a couple times during render (no error given, & I’ve already set to dump every 15 frames in the “secret” menu for renders.) Any body else experiencing this or have any ideas on what could keep me working. These bugs are slowing me down more than when I was on my dual 2.5 G5! I didn’t drop over 6k to go slower.
    Thanks for any input!

    You know that AE7 isn’t a Universal Binary correct? It has to run under Rosetta’s binary emulation just like other PPC applications on an Intel Mac.

    Read the post at the top of the forum:

    And try downloading the CS3 beta at labs.adobe.com, CS3 is a Universal Binary and supports multiple cores for rendering/preview.

    Yes, already had it installed, but didn’t have all my plugins & junk. Great advice from the other post. Thanks for pointing me there!

    Drop your cache settings way down… also make sure autosave is on & saving every 5-10 minutes. You’re going to have to live with frequent crashes until AE CS3 is released. BTW, have you tried the FREE preview of CS3. It smokes on an 8-Core!!! It still has some weird issues, especially with AE7 projects & with certain codecs. Plus, Cycore & Keylight won’t be available until the full release. But, I’ve ironed it out enough to actually do real projects on it and it is COOL!
