Why is my Hardware Accelerate Composition, Layer, and Footage Panels check box disabled

Hello anyone!
I have all the requirements to meet Adobe's standards for GPU requirements, but this check box (Hardware Accelerate Composition, Layer, and Footage Panels)[Edit>Preferences>Display] is disabled for me, why? Do I need to worry about this setting? Does it really matter? Any information on this topic would be helpful. Thanks in adavance for your feedback.

Feature support levels
There are three tiers or levels, from lowest to highest requirements, of support:
Level 1: For OpenGL SwapBuffer:
This level simply requires a GPU that can do OpenGL 1.5, or greater, with Shader Model 3.0, or greater. Most ATI and NVIDIA cards, and the Intel HD Graphics 3000 chipset (available in the MacBook Air, Mac Mini, various Windows machines, etc.) and 4000 (Windows only at this time) are supported. If your GPU does not support these requirements, software OS blitting like CS5.5 occurs, and there are improvements for software blitting in After Effects CS6, as well.
Level 2: For Fast Draft previews, Hardware BlitPipe, and Cartoon GPU acceleration:
Includes Level 1 features. This level requires OpenGL 2.0, or greater (with Shader Model 4.0, or greater, on Windows), and 256 MB, or greater, of texture memory. Most ATI and NVIDIA cards released in the past five years, plus the Intel HD Graphics 3000/4000, support this level.
If your GPU does not support these requirements, these features will be disabled:
Fast Draft mode
The "Hardware Accelerate Composition, Layer, and Footage Panels" preference.
The Cartoon effect's "Use OpenGL When Available" option (the Cartoon effect then runs on the CPU).
Level 3: For Ray-traced 3D rendering on the GPU:
Includes Level 1 & 2 features (for machines with attached monitors). This level requires a supported NVIDIA GPU and 512 MB, or greater, of texture memory. For a current list of supported GPUs, see the Adobe website.

Well, you should be concerned that it isn't available  - there is still some configuration issue with your graphics card - but you can live without it most of the time.

  • Hardware Accelerate Composition, Layer, and Footage Panels - optimize

    Hello.
    The AE preference for "Hardware Accelerate Composition, Layer, and Footage Panels" makes my deep compositions workable - for a limited time, and then simple selection tasks slow down substantially, as if I had turned this checkbox off. What can I upgrade to have more "fast time" with After Effects? Thanks for any insight into how to make my system work. Also, this may be my last Mac.... Is anyone out there able to run hundreds or thousands of layers in After Effects on a PC without having simple select tasks slow down?
    • simple selection task = "select all" in a single open composition with 10 layers or with 400 layers, although only in a project which contains deep compositions.
    • This slowdown exhibits with or without caps lock enabled
    • This slowdown exhibits before and after purge all

    You are using to graphics cards of different model? That's probably why. I've really tried to see a difference with that switch and it's not measurable, so don't worry about it!

    In the display preferences this box is greyed out? I no I have the power to do it. I am running a Quad dual quadcore Xeon 3.16 with 4 GB of Ram and a Quadro FX 5600 with 1.5 GIG of ram and a FX 5200 with 256 Meg of ram. Any ideas? I searched the forums and the web and can find nothing about this and yes I did RTM

  • How to increase the size (Length and width)  of check box

    Hi All,
    I have to increase the size of ( width and length) of check box, I have revised to check box topic in dev guide but didnt find any clue, i have also tried to use CCStyle class but that is also not working, I would appreciate if some can help me out on this. Thanks in advance , let me know if any clarification required.
    Thanks
    Pratap

    Hi Pratap ,
    I honestly don't know how to increase the size
    But i am giving you an alternate solution : we can create two Images with check box type 1 ) with checked
    2 ) with unchecked . ( you can create image of any size ) and get them displayed on OAF screen dynamically using switcher case .
    Dynamically displaying image will give the illusion of check box being checked and unchecked .
    keep this image moved to following media directory
    eg : /oraapp/mfgtestcomn/java/oracle/apps/media .
    Implement the switcher case , add the fire action to this Image Column , create a transient attribute and attach to this
    column . Depending on the value returned by transient attribute display the image on the column .
    Let me know if its not clear .

  • Page title and page name check box

    Hi there,
    if I need to change the page title starting from the page name, by default equals, it would be more efficient and helpful, from UI/UX point of view, to keep the page name in the text area of page title, when un-checking the check box below, rather than deleting it.
    The idea is that you will most probably change few parts of the text already herited form the page name.
    Regards
    Giulio

    Giulio-
    Your suggestion makes sense, we will look into changing the behavior. The "Filename" edit box just below has the same issue.
    Thanks,

  • Device preferences dialog box is too narrow and cuts off check boxes - can't change synch prefs?

    In itunes - preferences - devices dialogue box is too narrow - can't see check boxes - hence can't change synch settings. Have checked resolution and text size - both set at smallest.

    Are you on Windows or Mac?
    Look here to see where your Lightroom preferences are located on your system, and make absolutely certain that the user running LR has permission to read and write to that folder.

  • How to Strikethrough and Grey Out Check Box

    Hello,
    This is my first day using LiveCycle.  I am trying to make a check box form (upon checking) strikethrough the entire field and grey out.  I have the following FormCalc which I know is incomplete.  Please help!!  Currently the value is just causing my checkmark to turn the color value I've indicated.
    (I have these settings Show: Click, Language: FormCalc, Run At: Client)
    form1.#subform[0].Subform1.#field[1]
    using action:
    if ($ == "1") then // checked
    form1.#subform[0].Subform1.#field[1].font.lineThrough= "1";
    form1.#subform[0].Subform1.#field[1].font.fill.color.value= "91,173,160";

    form1.#subform[0].Subform1.#field[1].font.fill.color.value= "0,0,0";

    Hi Varma,
    That didn't work.  Thanks for your help though.  I got an error message that says:

  • Migrating library from PC to Mac (and copying sync check boxes)

    Hi,
    I recently bought an iMac to upgrade from a PC, and everything's going awesome - except my iTunes library.
    I can get the music/files across to the iMac fine, however I have a library in excess of 60gb and use a 16gb iPhone, so was pretty reliant on the checkboxes to keep my synced library under 16gb.
    I can't seem to find away to copy across the check box information, and would hate to have to manually uncheck all the songs I don't want to sync as I have almost 6,000 items in my library.
    I've seen the iTunes back up option and thinking of trying that, but I'll need to buy a ton of DVDs to do so - so thought it was best to check if there are any other options, and also see if the back up contains the check box preferences.
    Any help would be most appreciated - cheers!

    If anyone's got the same problem, don't bother backing up the library to DVD - it doesn't sync the check boxes. I just found out, 22 DVDs later.
    Was going to put all the synced songs in a playlist and export it (as suggested above), but you can't sort by checkbox - so if anyone has any more solutions, I'm all ears.
    Cheers

  • Sync folder hangs and "into subfolder"check box ignored.

    I have two recurring, intermittent issues with Lightroom 5.3.  They MAY be related. This has been going on since I purchased Lightroom 5 via Creative Cloud.  I have posted the first issue before but I still have not received a solution.
    First problem: When I try to sync a Dropbox folder that has updated images on it, Lightroom shows that it is importing the new images, the progress bar continues to the end, but no new images show up and the progess bar remains at the very end.  I can manually stop the progress, but then I am unable to try syncing again (it doesn't show up as an option), unless I restart Lightroom.  Sometimes it works after several attempts, and sometimes I have to try using "Import..." to get it to work.   This also occurs, though less frequently, when I try importing.    The Dropbox folder is not being updated when this happens.  I have tried pausing syncronization in Dropbox just to be sure.  I don't know if this happens with any other folders.  My Dropbox folder is the only folder I sync regularly for work.   I don't think I'm the only one who has had this problem, but I've seen no solution posted. 
    Second problem:  When importing images from a folder or compact flash card, Lightroom 5 ignores my subfolder name that I've typed in, even though "Into Subfolder' is checked.   I often have to click the checked box on and off a few times to get it to work.  Sometimes it doesn't work unless I click a different source folder, then back to the actual folder I want to import, then clicking the "into subfolder" box a few more times.  This is also an intermittent problem and I have found no way to reproduce either one on command.  I don't know if these two issues are related but I find both issues quite frustrating and both slow me down almost every day.   
    Please advise.

    On your iPod, check Settings > General > Restrictions and be sure you haven't somehow enabled restrictions for the App Store. If restrictions are enabled, you cannot install apps and your itunes Apps pane will not allow you to manipulate apps.

    1. GR msg check box in 'delivery/invoice' tab of header data
    2. Storage Location data in item details
    in me59n, system unable process p.req to PO becoz it is mandatory to fill these two fields.

    Hi,
    1. GR message check box issues message to the buyer after every the goods receipt against the PO.
    Message type has to be configured for this functionality.
    2. If you are managing stock of material at storage location level , then you will need to maintain this at PO item level.

  • Can you add layers below a Composite Layer?

    Once you create a composite layer at the top of your layer stack w. Option-click on "Merge Visible" in the Layer Panel Menu, is that new layer the only layer that now shows (represents) the image? For instance, if another adjustment layer is added below it, and the Background layer is the only image layer, will the effect of that adjustment be visible? Or do I need to delete the composite layer and create a new one to include the new adjustment layer?
    The reason I ask has to do with an illustration (below) I came across from one of Mark Johnson's old NAPP tutorials (Total Control Glowing Montage). In his tutorial "Layer 1" was created as a composite layer of the Background Layer and "Levels 1" which had a Smart Filter applied to it. Then the two "Levels 1" copy layers were added last to fine-tune the effect of the Levels 1 adjustment. Notice they are BELOW the composite layer. Does this work? Thanks.

    Yes, very much so. Multiply is a darkening effect (unless working in 32-bit float mode with channel values greater than 1) except when multiplying with pure white.
    I'm now unsure whether you do want to make the composite before adding two Levels adjustments on top of it, or whether you should be making the multiplying composite as the last stage. Can you post a link to the tutorial?
    I no longer have access to the tutorial which I saw last year on the NAPP website. But here are the 5 steps mentioned:
    1. Starting w. a Background layer, create a Levels Adj. layer w. Screen blending mode to overexpose image, "Levels 1."
    2. Create a composite layer and apply a smart filter, Gausian Blur with a Multiply blend mode to darken, "Layer 1."
    3. Preserve highlights by painting on Levels 1 mask with various opacities of black brush.
    4. Open the shadows by duplicating Levels 1 layer, fill mask with black and paint shadow areas w. white brush, "Levels 1 copy."
    5. If shadows are still too dark, repeat previous step by creating an additional duplicate levels layer and painting in shadows again, "Levels 1 copy, copy."
    The affect looks great and is why I would like to figure this out. Thanks.
