Dave,

If that was directed at me, it is

AE CC 13.7.2

[Chip Hess]

Can one use 4D to just create the 3D text, and then animate in AE?
Or is it necessary to do the moves in Cinema 4D?

Here is my card –
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB
and yes, Ray traced. But when I try to enable the GPU,
a warning says this card is untested/supported.
I have option to override that warning,
not sure which way to go on that!

Drives are all 7200rpm, the external connected via FW 800.
I created a new project and copied over bins to Mac HD, that seems to have really helped. I think I was breaking the cardinal rule about keeping project files and media on separate drives. Did not seem to matter much until footage grew.

No expert, just a guess.
And user settings made no difference.

Don’t think memory allocation came along until 8.5 as you stated.
Just given option to clear bin memory here.

Thanks very much to all!

[Chip Hess]

All clear on interface.
I moved copied project folder to Mac HD, playback better but still not great.

It began as AMA but was transcoded. Project and Avid media on one external drive right now, as I have moved project back and forth from work to home. The original files – that were transcoded – were on a second external.

New settings were suggested elsewhere. I have done that before and believe it worked at the time. It’s odd, as the project used to play fine – this started about a week ago. So I thought perhaps a settings file had gone wonky on me.

Here is an update.
When I drag the transitions from my Quick Trans folder, they work fine.
If I use the keystroke shortcut – crash city.
Weird.

Still searching for info on why Open GL effects in Avid FX are disbled
on this machine!

[Chip Hess]

Well, yes –

Except I am also responsible for uploading vids, as well.
Small operation.

[Chip Hess]

Thanks Pat.

That’s pretty much what I thought.
Just gotta convince IT at work…

I know Dave, that’s me!
I usually cross-post to speed up replies,
sometimes one gets nada.

My God, you are everywhere 😉
