Does adobe after effects require OpenGL?

Hello, I'm purchasing a new laptop, and I'm trying to find one with a graphics card that has openGL, but I'm having a hard time doing so, but, does adobe after effects require openGL? and if so, could anyone recommend a laptop in the $400-$600 range?

> Open GL is not mendatory but for one effect which is the cartoon
effect. And i think that pixel bender plugins needs open gl too, but
i'm not dead certain.
No, OpenGL is not required for Pixel Bender plug-ins or for the Cartoon effect (which is written using the same underlying technology as Pixel Bender plug-ins). The Cartoon effect is certainly much faster when you have a graphics card; if you just run it on the CPU, it's quite slow.
In all cases, things that can run on the GPU (the chip on the graphics card that OpenGL is making use of) can also fall back to running on the CPU.
Personally---as Sebastien suggested---the Cartoon effect is the only thing other than interactive previews that makes me glad to have an OpenGL-capable GPU.

  • Why does "Adobe After Effects CC 2014 Quit Unexpectedly" on launch?

    I'm currently on a 2012 MacPro OS X 10.9.5 with 2x2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon Processor, 24 GB DDR3.
    I uninstalled CS5 in order to download and install Adobe's Creative Cloud suite. I was able to get Photoshop up and running, but I cannot get After Effects to run. Every time I try to open it, I get the message:
    "Adobe After Effects CC 2014 quit unexpectedly." So, I uninstalled it, and tried re-downloading it and restarting my machine. Same result.
    So, please take a look at my Problem Report below and let me know if you can see any possible solution to this problem. Thanks for any possible help!

  • Adobe after effects cs6 system requirements

    Hi,
    I would like to purchase the adobe master collection cs6, but I wonder if my laptop matches the system requirements, specially my graphic card (with Adobe after effects or adobe premiere pro)
    my laptop:
    Win 7 64 bits
    Intel Core 2 Duo CPU  
    P7450 2.13 GHz
    4 Go RAM
    ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series
    Could you please tell me your opinion?
    thanks a lot

    The graphics card will work for normal OpenGL acceleration, but not anything else. Anything with CUDA will require an NVidia card. Read the system specs here and here. What's not listed there, is not supported for GPU accelerated raytracing or Mercury Playback. It's that simple. All that aside, it's simply not gonna be fun to run eitehr of the programs on your system. The processor is just weak and 4GB is not much on a 64bit system.

  • Adobe After Effects CS3 does not work on my new iMac

    Hello everyone,
    I recently bought myself a new iMac and Adobe After Effects CS3, and guess what, the stuff does not work. I've tried almost everything, been on a lot of forums but can't seem to find any solution. One thing that keeps coming back is that it has to do with the Geforce 8800 GT in my iMac, some kind of compatibility problem between both.
    The problem is this, whenever I start AE CS3, a window pops up, stating "Out of Memory ( 23 :: 40 )".
    And then something about licensing, but I guess I can skip that window, since that clearly has nothing to do with the problem.
    Are there some beta drivers or something for my videocard that I can download somewhere to maybe get rid of this problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Maxim

  • Is it required to deactivate an adobe after effect before formatting a computer??

    Is it required to deactivate an adobe after effect before formatting a computer??
    because my adobe after effect is licence version & the windows suddenly cress & i need to format pc ……so what i do…..in this case???

    Well, there's also a Creative Suite forum.  Personally I'm not familiar with After Effects at all.
    In general however, if you are going to install the application on the very same computer and hard drive, you do not have to deactivate first.
    However, if you end up with a different CPU or another hard drive, then yes, you should deactivate it.
    Just keep in mind that you only get a limited number of re-activations, so don't waste them unnecessarily.
    Contact Adobe customer service if in doubt as to the number of activations you have left.
    Also note that I have no experience with Creative Suites on a subscription basis, so I'm talking from the point of view of my perpetual licenses to Adobe applications.

  • Novice seeking Adobe After Effects hard copy manual, does it exsist?

    HI
    I am a Pinnacle Studio 14 Ultimate Collection user, hence novice...I was browsing for more montage templates and came across Revostocks After Effects section.  I have been told by this site their templates require Adobe After Effects download to manipulate titles and videos you input.  Since I am just a hobbist not a video professional I need more then the tutorial on line to learn this system, hopefully before purchase.  I have been told it is complicated but I am hoping they have a user friendly manual for self teaching, anyone aware of how I could obtain this for purchase? 

    Not really. The help system is seveal thousands of hyperlinked pages. You can obtain Adobe Classroom in a Book series and use the free trial of AE to see if you want to invest. But you can also study many hundreds of reviews and real world case studies for AE to see if you need any of its functions. I have no idea what Pinacle is but you probably have everything you nedd in it for whatever it's supposed to do. AE is a special effects, composing and simulation application and it's expensive and it';s worth every penny if you need it. If you don't really need it, AE is just an expensive toy.

    Which chipset is on your system's motherboard? Which motherboard is your PC equipped with?
    If the motherboard is using an AMD 790 or 970 series chipset, the HyperTransport bus will be running at a reduced speed, and thus the CPU performance will be worse than a quad-core Intel i5 CPU without hyperthreading. In many instances, this means that the GPU will be laying idle, waiting for the CPU to catch up.
    If on the other hand the motherboard uses an AMD 990FX chipset, then it's likely that there is something else bottlenecking your PC.

  • Why does my Adobe after effects cs6 crash on start up?

    I have Adobe After effects for my pc windows 7 64 bit. i have updated my graphics card drivers, my wacom bamboo pen and touch tablet, got the newest update for after effects. i have also fresh installed ae and reinstalled it multiple times. when i start it up it says http://i.imgur.com/48hVDXt.png  i also run it as admin.

    That worked.
    I was using GeForce 314.22 Driver earlier today when it first failed
    I reverted back to GeForce 310.90 Driver which also failed
    Now I have installed GeForce 301.42 Driver and After Effects works again. Additionally, I didn't get the intermediary fault I described above (GPUSniffer crashing, but no AE) so I will stick with this driver until the next NVidia driver is released, and try that.
    I'd consider reporting this to NVidia, but just haven't got the time or inclination.

  • Does anyone have a link to a Adobe After Effects CS3 Trial Download, if so, please help

    Hello, and thx for reading
    I'm in need of an Adobe After Effects CS3 Trial, there's no way to download it on the original website, because it has been replaced with CS5, and as much as I would've loved to get that, my computer can only support up to a 32 bit resolution, so I cannot install or use CS4 and CS5, that's when I found out that CS3 comes with a 32 bit resolution
    But now I can't find a download for the Adobe After Effects CS3 Trial, please help

    Why do you think that After Effects CS4 can't run on a 32-bit operating system? It can. After Effects CS5, on the other had, is a 64-bit application.

    Your problem is that the program wants a good video card and a fast hard drive and lots of memory and you have none of the above. If you upgraded the RAM to 8 gigs and installed a solid state hard drive you might make the program useable but the real bottleneck  is going to be the Intel HD graphics, which cannot be upgraded. 
    You do have an open slot to add one 4 gig memory module. This is an easy relatively inexpensive upgrade. See here:

    http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/ct51264bf160b
    I would try this a step at a time. Next would be the solid state drive. That would cost maybe $150. Post back if you need more help.
