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.
Thank you for your time!

Does Adobe Premier Pro CS6 and After Effects CS6 support the graphic found in the new late 2012 27" iMac?

Hi there guys! I´m very, very, VERY close to buy a full configuration iMac (the late 2012 27" model) but I have reed in different forums that Adobe Premier Pro CS6 and other applications from Adobe such as After Effects DO NOT support the graphic cards found in the new iMacs....
is this true??????
i really wouldn´t understad the logic behid the decission of picking a graphic card that is not supported by one of the leading video editing sofrware used today.... specially when this computer is suppoused to be an Editing Animal....
I hope this rumor is not real..... then I can be just... really happy and get my new desktop computer and work, work, work, work
thanks for your attention

Hi there Daniel, thanks for paying attention to this subject. Today I got an answer from Larry Jordan from his blog (I believe he is one of the "videoguys" from http://videoguys.com and he said that actually adobe does not support those GPU that we will find in the new late 2012 iMacs. However it seems there is a way to make that work out.....
here is his review on his new iMac, at the very botton you will see comments from people and his answers... one of the last coments is mine regarding this subject, this is what I asked and his answer:
mGabo Jan 18, 2013 08:50Hi there Larry, I reed in your other post on your iMac that Adobe didn´t support the Nvidia graphic cards found in this model, I have been asking in forums about this and people say Adobe does supports them……Do you know if Adobe now works fine with these cards?
Larry Jan 18, 2013 11:10When I contacted Adobe about this a couple months ago, just after the release of the new iMacs, I was told that Adobe did not support the graphics card at that time. There is, however, a workaround, which I’m hoping to write up this weekend.Larry
mGabo Jan 18, 2013 12:28 oh! great Larry! please post the link of that article so I can follow that!many thanks

so far I haven´t find anyone who can expalin to me how can I get these Nvidia GPUs working with adobe premier and aplications alike from adobe.

The new EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 2Win

Adobe, it would be interesting if someone would check out this card for compatibility with Premiere for hardware MPE. We constantly have people that have requirements for more than two displays. All four outputs on this card (3 DVI and 1 HDMI) are usable simultaneously. While it is appreciably more expensive than two GTX 560 Ti cards the big advantage would be it is only a single PCIe interface. Apparently it is not SLI enabled externally (some gamers are upset by this) but that might be because the two onboard GPU's are in SLI mode internally--that would be a bummer for Premiere.

Approach this card with the utmost of care. Recently, nVidia has been having a bunch of driver trouble with this specific card for gamers. It's probably not completely apropos to compare the stress a gamer puts on his card to what an editor does. However, what the gamers are seeing is the driver just up and crashing under load.
It only seems to be happening with the 560Ti for some oddball reason. The troublemaking game is Battlefield 3. nVidia has ack'd the problem and they're hacking away at it. Given that, however, it might behoove you to look elsewhere.

After Effects CS6 connot open files created with CC 12.1 Mac version

After Effects CS6 connot open files created with CC 12.1 Mac version. Is there an update?
I am running Windows 7 Pro and Adobe CS6 Suite with all updates

You are never able to open projects from one version of After Effects in an earlier version. This has always been the case.
You can use the command File > Save As > Save A Copy As CS6 to save a version of the project from After Effects CC (12) that can be opened in After Effects CS6 (11).

Yes. Provided the Mac is running Yosemite and Aperture 3.6

Hi, I have Lightroom 4, but it does not support the new 10-30 pd lens for my Nikon 1. It is supported in LR5. Can I download this lens profile and install in LR4?

Do you have the latest camera raw installed for Photoshop? If so, you can find the profiles in /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0/Nikon/ . Lightroom should recognize them if you move them into your home directory's Library folder in the exact same folder structure (but in the Library folder in your home directory). This is assuming you are using Mac OS X. No clue where these files would be on Windows. If you don't have Photoshop, you can install Camera Raw using the combined installer with DNG converter which is a free download from Adobe. This should (I think) give you the profiles in that exact location without owning Photoshop.

Quadro K2000 vs Geforce GTX 680 for AE CS6

Hi,
I want to buy one of these two cards for using with After Effects CS6. The price point of these two are about the same, although the GTX is a bit cheaper. The specs of the GTX 680 on the other hand are much more appealing then the Quadro K2000.
Especially for the Ray-Traced Renderer the 1536 CUDA Cores vs 384 CUDA Cores seems much better.
The only donwside I could find is, that the GTX uses about 4 times the power of the Quadro and is going to be louder. Also the driver for the Quadro is working more stable than the Geforce driver.
Am I missing anything here or would be the GTX be the better choice?
Kind regards
Christian

Christian,
The main performance determining factor for a video card is the memory bandwidth, not the amount of memory. Memory bandwidth is more important than number of cores too.
See a limited performance comparison here: Video Card Performance and scroll down a bit till you see the relevant graph.
Interpolating, one would expect the performance of the K2000 to be between the GTX 550 Ti and the GT 640, possibly with a score around 120-130 seconds, around 4 times slower than a GTX 680.

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

Cannot see After Effects CS6 in the AAM [was: HELP]

Hi,
I am trying to download the trial of Adobe After Effects CS6 trial.I have followed the steps given on the website but when I enter the adobe application manager,I cannot find Adobe After Effects.PLEASE HELP.I need the trial as i am thinking of buying the product.

After Effects requires a 64 bit processor and 64 bit operating system.
If you cannot see After Effects in the AAM then your computer does not meet the system requirements required to run the software.
Most likely you are running a 32 bit version of Windows. If that's the case, you will not be able to download, install or run After Effects.
The solution is to get a 64 bit computer running a 64 bit version of Windows.

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.

HT4757 When will Apple iPhoto/Aperture support the new Leica V-Lux 4 camera RAW format ?

I just bought a Leica Vlux-4 and found that the current verisons of Aperture and iPhoto do not reconize the RAW files like they do for earlier versions and all of the Canon & Nikon DSLR's. I see from the support doc that Apple supports the Vlux-1 and 2, so when will RAW support be added for the Vlux-4 ?
I dont want to move to Lightroom but it already supports the Vlux-4 camera !
Thanks.

while this all may be true,
it is all speculation, and we are not supposed to speculate here; Apple does not publish the reasons for missing raw support, and for the Vlux-4 it is early days yet. There may very well be a raw update including your camera soon.The only difference I see, is that the the Vlux-1 & 2 did not come with Lightroom included, only with PSE, and the support stopped, when Lightroom was included - the direct competition to Aperture.
Send feedback to Apple to let them know!
Regards

Will Windows XP/iTunes support the new Nano I bought last week?

I went to the Apple store last week (Nov. 2012) and the tech there told me the new 16-gig Nano would not link to iTunes on my Windows XP desktop. However, a clerk at a nearby electronics store, where I actually bought the device, said it would work as long as I have the latest edition of iTunes. Both guys told me that I could network iTunes from my XP desktop to my Windows 7 laptop, although I have no clue how to do that.

*I bought my Nano in Dec 2006. Assuming it is 2nd generation.*
This will tell you about the different models: Identifying different iPod models
*Now the Nano battery charges when I connect the USB cable to the Windows XP Pro system but Real and iTunes is not able to "see" my Nano*
Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
iPod missing in My Computer and in iTunes
iPod is not recognized properly by computer when USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date
If you are using a laptop, this page might help: iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB

When will Adobe Camera Raw support the new Nikon D3S?

Just putting my friendly nudge in

You could check in the Adobe Camera Raw forum.

Use the new iMac as a display for Mac Pro

The goal is a simple one; use the newest model iMac 27inch as a display for the newest model Mac Pro (desktop tower). The latest Mac Pro has DVI and DisplayPort out and the iMac obviously has thunderbolt, usb, and firewire. I've discovered that there isn't really a way to get thunderbolt on the Mac Pro unless someone knows something I don't. If it's the case that thunderbolt can't be added to the current Mac Pro (be it by a new video card, or otherwise), I'm wondering if I could use a DVI to USB adapter to display it on the iMac.
I guess the takeaway here is that I don't need a virtual solution. Primarily, I use screen sharing via gigabit ethernet to access it. However, when you need a physical hardware monitor (let's say when you restart your machine or need to boot outside of OS X), you can't use the virtual options. I need to be able to use it independantly, like a traditional monitor setup. Any thoughts?

No that will not work. The iMac will not accept video in on using USB, or anything except Thunderbolt.
Best of luck.

Why are my reflections brighter in After Effects CS6?

My first project in After Effects CS6 and the new Ray Tracer Renderer has taken a turn for the worse.
I brought in AI text and converted it to Shape Layers. Extruded it and placed it in front of a "wall" that set to receive Reflections.
You can clearly see in the reflection that the sides of the letters are waay brighter than they should be and really aren't reflecting properly.
Anyone have any clue what I'm doing wrong?

I have one ambient light and one point light in front of the text.
I turned the shadows off so that the reflections could be seen better for this example.
I'll add more lights and see if it does a better job, just out of curiosity. I still need to use my current set up though.
I did find out something about ... I forgot what they called it. Adobe's "power saver" something or other. When you turn on reflections things automatically get darker and you need to boost your lights.
Still, though, if that's the cause then I would think the reflections in the wall would be darkened by the same amount.
