  • Reflector Crashes Mac AE CS3

    Posted by Brian Walsh on December 3, 2007 at 11:29 pm

    I just bought a 24″ iMac, 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM, and won Zaxwerks Reflector at last week’s AENY. I am running Leopard, 10.5.1, and After Effects CS3 version 8.0. I’ve tried using refector twice now, and it has crashed after a few minutes, each time, just after hitting the Update button (to update the reflection). Any ideas, anyone?

    Hi Brian.

    Can you send me your Reflector project
    and give me a few instructions to follow
    in order to replicate the problem?

    Send files to: matt@zaxwerks.com

    Thanks.

    I am interested in a solution as well; I am running CS3 and Reflector on a Core 2 Duo with 4 GB Ram. I posted a question earlier, but have not received a response!

    Someone else had this trouble and discovered that by turning on the Multiprocessing option in the AE pref, he regained stability again.

    I’ll try that out and let you know how it works. Thanks.

    Tried as suggested, did not work for me. Running on Windows XP platform.

    Also, when I add a Proanimator layer, the reflection doesn’t always show up and AE crashes after awhile. The error message says:

    After Effects error crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in ‘Refelctor’.

    This happened in AE 7 also.

    Solved the problems. Don’t know which of the following actually did it. Set the hardware acceleration in Windows XP SP2 to about half (found a thread from searching this forum.) Also, re-installed ProAnimator. One or both of these solved my problems.
