When will we see AE 7????

[Steve Roberts]

1. Adobe only makes announcements when the product is shipping.
2. Anybody who know when it’ll ship is under NDA and can’t say anything.
3. Anybody who passes rumours along is making them up.

So, it’s been a long time since 6.5 came out, but like the rest of us, you’ll just have to be patient. We have no choice. 🙂

Not inpatient for AE 7 but just curious: are there any signs that AE 7 will support multi processors and more Ram?

[Glen Perez]

i think it supports parallel processing now

[David Modijefsky]

Now, as in 6.5.1? Parallel processing? As far as I know 6.5.1 only uses 1 processor.

Just announced from the Grid-Iron people:

Just this guy, Y’know?

So then the question is will AE 7 make better use of dual CPUs? If so, there isn’t much point in spending the cash on a plugin that would do the same thing. I wish Adobe would release some sort of new feature list for AE7. I’m starting an HD job (intro, bumpers) and it would be great if AE was able to properly utilize the 2nd CPU, but I would wait for the upgrade (as opposed to buying this plugin) if I new that 7.0 had addressed this issue. I’m going to feel like an idiot if I drop $200 on this plugin and then find out AE is releasing 2 weeks later with better performnce for dual CPUs.

Of course AE already uses 2 CPUs. At least when rendering. It’s not using the full power in EVERY situation, but most of it.

The Gridiron plugin helps when network rendering, which is not the same thing as having multiprocessors on the same computer.

I don’t think you read my response very clearly. 1st of all I asked “will AE 7 make better use of dual CPUs?” not, does AE use the 2nd CPU? For you to say “Of course AE already uses 2 CPUs” really doesn’t answer my question at all. 2nd if you followed the link Jee Hoon Lee posted you would see that we aren’t talking abut Gridiron X-Factor but a new product called Nucleo which addresses AE’s poor use of the 2nd processor when rendering and even when previewing on a single computer.

[Stolichnaya] “Now, as in 6.5.1? Parallel processing? As far as I know 6.5.1 only uses 1 processor.”

Nope, you’re dead wrong. It uses dual procs ever since 5.5, it just doesn’t do it very efficiently. The problem is that though AE is multithreaded to some degree, many plugins aren’t. That’s what’s making AE slower than it could be in many situations. Unless a plugin is explicitely compiled for multi processors, it will only use 1 processor/ thread.
