I see FakeGreenDress beat me to showing you the new features you were hoping to have. I am not "Adobe people" I'm just a user like you.Īnd I called the ray-traced renderer pointless the day it was released even when there was no Cinema 4D included with AE! So I don't speak for them, nor do I work for them. Stop telling people NOT to use one of the features that you were LOUDLY singing the praises of not too long ago.Don't be so flippant about your own product, and just admit that Adobe messed this one up.įor the record, I am not employed by Adobe. I'm so sick of hearing this BS from Adobe people. If you use the ray-traced renderer, ticking the box to "use unsupported" cards should still work and other things (like Premiere Pro, third-party plugins, and AE's new native GPU accelerated effects) should still work with that card too.
Now, that GPU should work quite nicely for third-party plugins that render on the GPU like Video Copilot's Element, Red Giant Universe, Mettle's ShapeShifter, etc.ĭo you believe that a patch will be made to support !? or was it better to buy old technology type gtx780?! or there would be no more support? If you bought the GPU just for AE, it'd be like me buying afterburners to put on my Honda Element only to find out those are made for airplanes and not cars. In the future, it would be a good idea to do some research before making big purchases.
But seriously, the ray-traced renderer is the old and busted. But, if you do use the ray-traced renderer, you can tick the box to use unsupported cards and see if that card works for it. The ray-traced renderer is considered obsolete.
It comes for free with AE, it's much more powerful and it's where the AE team is putting all of their development. If you do use the ray-traced renderer, please stop and use Cinema 4D instead. (The new version that just came out, also uses the GPU to accelerate the three effects I mentioned, but that's unrelated to the ray-traced renderer's CUDA requirement.) This page talks about what AE uses the GPU for. After Effects is not a video editing program. After Effects is not made to do video editing. GPU's do help with video editing because Premiere Pro makes pretty heavy use of a GPU. My god, I thought to buy a card to speed up video editing using the power of CUDA, really slow with my current computer without spending a sum to buy a Quadro.
