So I installed a brand new GTX 570 card and AE still won’t run.
Going to have to re-install windows now I think — yay – that’ll take all day.

well – I did have to restart the computer today and sure enough, AE won’t start again. Application Hang. Event Log says it has stopped interacting with Windows. Arggh. It looks different though, for whatever that’s worth.

I use Premiere mostly, and a MPE approved CUDA card makes a huge difference. My current GTX 285 is on the list, but it’s a very old card and I got it used and I’ve had other issues that might be related to some intermittent hardware failure on it.

What I am curious to know is what does AE and Photoshop look for from the Video card on startup that PPro and the rest of the Production Suite don’t? Or is OpenGL making some call to the Video card that is suddenly not being returned?

I’ve tried everything software I can think of (except I can’t restore to a previous version of windows) so I hope that advancing the technology of the video card fixes it. If I get the AE crash with the new card, I will have to think about creating a new start up drive and re-installing everything. And I’ll call Adobe.

3 Days later. I haven’t turned off the computer once and AE is still working fine. Will shutdown after the current project ends and see what happens. Have ordered a new Video Card (GTX 570) and hope to never have this problem again.

So I restarted and still no AE.
Then I shut down and turned off the power for 20 seconds.
Now AE is running again.

Feels like hardware.

Nope. That didn’t help either. And I notice that the Cleaner didn’t remove the updates, so the new install needs no updates. Not sure what that means, but it does mean that I didn’t re-install any updates.

I’ve never noticed that problem cause I’ve never needed to do it. In PPro you can edit the source footage without rewrapping.

And can FCPX have a timeline in which there are no extra connections or linkages or whatever they are? And if it can then why can’t it import a FCP7 timeline and just have be unconnected?

“With Thunderbolt, you’re just as likely to build a professional video setup around your MacBook Pro or iMac as your Mac Pro. ” — From https://www.apple.com/thunderbolt/

So clearly the Mac Pro is EOL.
