The AE OpenGl debacle continues!
Maybe OpenGL in AE works if you have quadro graphics card, but for the majority of us who can’t spend $1,000 – $3,000 on a graphics card, it does not. I have an nVidia 8800 card, probably the most popular video card in the entire world right now and OpenGL works great in everything except adobe products. I have the latest driver, OS, updates, etc. Now with CS4 I get OpenGL crashes even though I have it turned off. So it’s back to CS3 for me.
I’m curious if any other early adopters are having this problem.

to try and get cs4 to work, try removing the ae_opengle.plugin file from adobe after effects/plug-ins/extensions (i don’t think i’d trash it, just move it to a folder outside of the plug-ins folder… you can call it disabled plug-ins or something….
note, you may want to move it back in to the plug-ins/extensions when you do updates to cs4… some update installers freak out if they don’t see things where they are supposed to be…
it would be nice if adobe could get opengl to work better. more and more third party effects are utilizing the gpu, combine that with more use of 3d layers, lights and shadows and it would be nice to have things stable enough to use regularly… another big benefit would be if they could utilize the gpu acceleration with ae’s multiprocessing render system, then you could get the best of both worlds, right now they are not compatible, and it’s one or the other… and which will be faster depends largely on the effects you use…

Cool, thanks for the tip. Now I can continue using CS4.
