Looks like there’s some hacky options out there to force GPUS to work over thunderbolt https://mediapros.co.uk/portfolio-view/thunderbolterizer/

Neat Video is the best noise removal plugin I’ve ever used for video. I don’t know if it works inside Resolve, but if not you might have to process the footage using another host

If the 3D layer is a very large image or vector file, it might just be 32 bit after effects running out of memory. If the worst comes to the worst, you could try precomping it into several smaller tiled comps, then rebuilding them in 3D space.
The other thing I’d ask – do you have OpenGL preview enabled? If so, try switching to Adaptive Resolution instead (software rendering). It’s much more reliable generally, but you probably knew that!

I’ve just tried batching a folder full of DV-PAL quicktimes into H264 and they’ve all come out looking really blocky. I think it’s a problem with Compressor 2 – it looks like it’s encoding the source using the DV codec’s low-resolution playback mode.
I’ll try sending a bug report to apple about this.

The conversion from 10bit YUV colour space to 24-bit RGB is probably the culprit here – it does seem to create noticable gamma shifts. As AE only supports working in RGB perhaps you could switch your capture/output to (12bit?) RGB (I know I can do this with my Blackmagic Decklink HD Pro). Of course, this requires a fair bit more video bandwidth, so your RAID may struggle.
Alternatively, BitJazz’s SheerVideo Codec supposedly does very accurate conversion from YUV -> RGB and back. And it’ll save you disk space too, in theory (it’s a lossless video codec). https://www.bitjazz.com/sheervideo/

The 10.4.8 update screws up AE horribly. I put a warning thread about this on Monday. The good news is, it seems to be working OK on my system now. I removed some third-party quicktime components and that seemed to do the trick. Otherwise I might have been facing the horror of re-installing OSX 🙁
