Re: Is AE CS3 ready for HD?

The codec doesn't matter. Even the RAM preview set at 1/4 will not render. Turned the bluring down to 2 samples without result. In my latest example the comp renders until just before the y rotation reaches 90°.

Shared the project with another editor who questioned the machine. He also experienced the same problem with this comp. I am wondering if I have something set up wrong & since it seems consistent with me & the problem can easily be seen by others when they load my project. Yet no one seems to be bitching but me.

Been through the usual "fixes" that are generally effective in SD including memory & Open GL. After Effects seems broken in HD. I'd be glad to share a simplified version of the project that demostrates how a simple 3D text layer with a 2 keyframe, 15 frame, y rotation will render out all the way until just prior to 90°. There are no sources in this & no solids, just text, a light, & a camera. It is just one one a long line of render issues I've had with HD in AE, but maybe they are all related.
