When will After Effects CS6 get a retina update?

I know there are people saying that After Effects works "fine" with retina, but they must not be as picky as me.  After Effects is not at all fully compatible, at all.  It's not even usable for me.  The content viewer does not support retina resolution and is stretched to roughly twice the size that it should be.  It's using Apple's percieved resolution and not actual resolution.
This makes the program completely unusable for me as it doesn't accurately represent what is being rendered. 
When where there be a fix for this canvas problem?

I hate to throw water on your fire but AE is accurately displaying what would be seen for it's interpolated screen resolution with a retina display even with custom views, Photoshop, on the other hand, is showing you Actual Pixels so the image seems to be 1/2 the size as it would be displayed on a Retina display. I'd rather they fix Photoshop because it's way too hard to make pixel critical judgements in Photoshop at 100% scale than it is in AE on a Retina display.
I'd rather see how it would look on the display than the actual pixels because the pixel density is so high on a retina display that it's nearly impossible, without a magnifying glass, to see if you have artifacts in the edges. The image size of an element in your Comp on a retina display will be the same size as it is on a non retina display computer with the same apparent resolution. IOW a HD comp at 50% on a 15" Dell laptop will be the same size as a HD comp at 50% on a 15" MacBook Pro R.
This is why some web graphics look soft on a Retina display, They are scaled up approximately 200% when the website is not properly styled for high resolution displays.
The same things goes for movies played on a Retina displaya. You're not seeing actual pixels, you're seeing a denser pixel pattern which does give you a slightly better image. That's all I'm going to say about it.

  • Will After Effects CS6 support the new EVGA GeForce GTX 680 for Mac?

    With this new graphics card out will Adobe/Mac OS X add support for it in AE CS6 for excellerated graphics and ray traced 3D? Also, will Adobe bring back live 3D from Photoshop to AE?

    Sorry, should have been more specific. I was referring to this desktop card the Gforce GTX 680 (mac edition) http://www.evga.com/articles/00730/. I just saw a recent article about its release but not sure how long it has been out and not sure what evga is. I'm in the learning phase of all the ins and outs of graphics card compatibility and the manufactures intent. I'm curious about inserting it into my Mac Pro 2010 and getting improved performance along with accelerating my processing in After Effects CS6 since it has an ATI card with no CUDA architecture. Want to beef my RAM too. So I'm wondering if this card is A. Compatible with my machine/OS and B. If Adobe will add it to its list of supported CUDA cards. Again, not sure if this is an Adobe thing or an OS thing, I heard on some tutorial video that Mac OS is part of the issue. I am aware of the current state of limbo Mac Pro users are in with Apple's hiatus from a major update to this line. But even with a major new release my employer won't be in the market for that kind of investment which sucks because I'd like to move to thunderbolt for my video storage. Personally, I'm investing in a MBP with the 650M card which I've done tests with and it beats my Mac Pro with having CUDA. As for 3D layers from Photoshop to AE it is just kind of makes sense as well as being a price point issue. If you can draw and create 3D objects in PS why not be able to animate them in AE? Just like being able to animate AI and PS layers, it should be one big happy Adobe family, no? Why pay for Cinema 4D if I don't need it for everyday advanced 3D work? I do however love the Element plug-in from Video Co-pilot and it works great so that is my solution for now, then 4D if I get into more advanced custom 3D. But still you should be able to make 3D objects in PS and bring them in to AE, it just makes sense.

  • When will my Xperia T get the firmware update it needs?

    I am currently running Jellybean 4.1.2 build number 9.1.A.0.489, complete with all its many annoying bugs such as:
    Unusable Walkman app- will not skip to next track when the screen is locked
    All speaker output is disabled after unplugging headphones, requiring a reboot to bring it back
    Occasionally shutting down in the middle of the night while on charge, meaning my alarm doesn't get me up for work!
    When I look on forums and the ultra shiny Sony website it seems there is a solution- Version 9.1.A.1.140 supposedly fixes these issues. My problem now is getting the damn update!!! I have tried using bridge for mac, and also the phones built in software update app but everything tells me my phone has the latest software WHICH I KNOW FOR A FACT IT DOESN'T!!!
    What does Sony plan to do about this? Is there a known timeframe in which this problem will be sorted out? Or is the phone just going to be abandoned like my previous phone the Xperia Play was?

    There are already a ton of threads regarding this.
    No, we don't have any information on when specific software will be released on specific markets or SI-batches.

  • When will the Note 4 get the Lollipop update?

    I am excited about getting the lollipop update but when will we get it for the Note 4??  I hear in January then I hear late 2015.

    Samsung hasn't started to roll it out. No one will know. Even on these forums no one will know.

  • When will the Lumia Icon get the Denim Update?

    The Denim Update will arrive for the Lumia Icon in early 2015. It just dropped today for Lumia 928 and Lumia 822: Verizon announces Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 to Lumia 928, Lumia 822 | Windows Central.
    But, Microsoft said at IFA 2014 that the Lumia Denim would "first be available on our flagship phones...Lumia ICON": Microsoft Nokia Lumia Live Event Part 1 - Lumia Denim, Lumia 830 IFA 2014 - YouTube . Not happy. Check the youtube video out at the time 7:48.
    So it appears that Lumia Cyan was skipped as some of us speculated in the forums.
    Meanwhile, although you can only buy the Lumia 928 at Verizon, since Verizon discontinued (yanked off the shelves with disgust by iPhone and Android executives hehehe, jk) the Lumia ICON, you can still buy the Lumia ICON at the Microsoft store free with contract: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Verizon---Nokia-Lumia-Icon/productID.306508100
    And just to add a little salt to the wounds the 930 on AT&T already has Lumia Cyan and it has the same exact hardware as the 929, accept for a few little number changes here and there due to GSM vs CDMA, but that doesn't take 4 months to figure out...: Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 rolls out for Nokia Lumia 930
    At this point Verizon should just let Microsoft deliver firmware directly to Lumia ICON users, like Apple delivers firmware updates to iPhone users, without carrier approval since Verizon doesn't even sell the ICON anymore.
    Very disappointed in Verizon and Microsoft.
    I wonder if the preview for developers version will receive the Denim update on the ICON any sooner than "early 2015"...
    Joe Belfore needs to "get on Deck" with reality; this is way to long to wait for a flagship phone.

    OK, I stand corrected -- and I'm thrilled about that!! According to Lumia Conversations, Verizon will be rolling out Denim to those that missed Cyan:
    "Here’s an early Christmas present to our U.S. readers: If you own a Lumia and you’re on the Verizon network, the newest Windows Phone 8.1 upgrade–the super-charged Lumia Denim–is coming to you soon.
    Yes, that means you’ll skip over the previous update, Lumia Cyan, and go straight to Denim!
    The roll-out for the Lumia 822 and Lumia 928 begins over the next few days and the Lumia Icon will follow in early 2015."
    I'm not thrilled about us Icon owners being last in line and waiting until 2015, but it's better than waiting for a Cyan update that will never come.

  • After Effects CS6 Graphics Card Nvidia GTX 660M

    When will After Effects CS6 work with Nvidia GTX 660M? Will ever work with Nvidia GT 630M? Thank you.

    Nobody can tell, but you shouldn't keep your hopes up. These are trimmed down "mobile" cards/ chips and they may never support Raytrace 3D. for the rest refer to the system specs as stated on the product page. what's not listed there, is not supported.

  • CC will not allow After Effects CS6 to Update

    I am a frequent After Effects CS6 user; not so long ago I started a subsciption with Adobe Creative Cloud and I've had nothing but issues with it.
    The CC desktop would crash my whole system on launch, so I cancelled my subsciption and uninstalled anything related to CC cause I saw no real benefit.
    But the CC apps remained on the system no matter what I tried to remove them.
    Now my Premiere Pro CS6 is unable to open, and After Effects CS6 is unable to update.

    I used that link already. I believe my old cc subscription is blocking. It states 'updates have been suppressed by the administrator'. After effects crashing after ram previewing. CC was removed after it crashed my desktop a few months ago. I have CS5 & cs6 which I paid for installed but I cant get into premiere pro because cc hijacks it. Cc was removed uninstalled because My system desktop wouldnt load so I discontinued my subscriptupm but it has interferred with my ability to use tge CS6 programs!
    I have not been able to get any support and now I cant even edit a 2 minute short film which is due tomorrow.

  • Trouble installing After Effects cs6 on my new Yosemite system.

    I then attempted to install all the software from my old computer. Installed Entire cs6 suite, after effects is greyed out.
    When i tried to open, i received an error " You can’t use this version of the application “Adobe After Effects CS6” with this version of OS X. You have “Adobe After Effects CS6” 11.0. "
    I then read online that there was fix by updating to After Effects to 11.4. Due to the fact that i cant open program to update from within i downloaded update and tried to install via the installer. I acts like it it will start even giving a timeline of how long it will take then closes and says update failed.
    It then says you can look at error log, when i do it says  " Adobe After Effects CS6 (11.0.4) update Update is not applicable. Error Code: U44M2P28 ".
    Anyone knows how i can fix this issue and get after effects working? Thanks in advance

    There have been a few people having problems getting updates and a few different solutions. It all depends on what's messed up on your machine.
    It could be as simple as fixing permissions: fixing permissions problem that impedes start of Adobe applications
    Somewhat advanced, but it worked for somebody: Unable to upgrade to 11.0.1 for AE CS6
    You may have to defeat a daemon... Newly installed After Effects CS6 won't launch.
    One solution for a different OS and AE version, but might solve it: Mavericks and AE 12.0/12.1/12.2
