Walter & Steve – Thank you, both of those answers were exactly what I was looking for. Don’t know why I never saw the pull down.

After Effects used to be so stable. It was the most stable program I used, it hardly ever crashed, and when it did it was so nice and saved first.

NOW, it is by far the most buggy program I own. The lack of multi-processing kills me. The ram preview bugs slow down all my work. Whenever I render, the render queue tab is pushed to the background and I loose the ability to cancel the render until it’s done. Audio previews don’t work correctly. Play from current position in the timeline is totally broken. I am sure there are a few more that drive me nuts daily….

I really expect more stability from a subscription service. Get your act together Adobe.

I am having this issue too. The Render Queue moves to the background as soon as I start a render and will not come back. You also can’t cancel it, and you can’t tell that it is finished either. It is very annoying. Yes moving the tab works but this IS a BUG and should be fixed asap. It’s been broken for months. Between this and the ram preview bugs, I am starting to rethink that monthly payment.

Thanks for the reply. Is CS6 somehow better with memory?

I enabled multi-processing and I tried these settings. It actually started rendering, but gave me a error “Unable to allocate more than .065 mb of ram.” Several copies of the error popped up but it continues rendering. I stopped it and got another error: “A frame failed to render”. When I look at the activity monitor AE is using 4-5GB of both real and virtual memory. AESELFLINK is using 500mb of both real and virtual memory. It also appears, from the graph, that all the processors are being used.

LOL, just figured it out. I had somehow changed the layer mode to dancing dissolve.

Problem solved.

I also suggest turning on(up) the shutter to reduce the motion blur.

Actually the game changer is Final Cut Server…. all the real proxy innovation requires FCS. Watch the video…

Wish this was included with FCS3.

Joshua,
Thanks for getting back to me on this. I can’t see how it would this way. With an apple display there is no other way to control the color when connected to the HDLINK. It really makes the product NOT function as advertised. Is there any fix or workaround planned???

Best,
John

[John Schaub]

Ok, I can see how that would work. BUT, I am using a Apple 23 Cinema display, the one they show on their site, and it doesn’t have image controls built in. It’s done in the OS and will not work if the display is not connected via the DVI port. I am not sure how they expect us to do this? Any ideas?

Thanks!!
John

On the spec sheet is says it connects to a PC via USB and a Mac via Firewire. I want to know if you can download the cards using USB on an a mac. Thanks
