MacPro slow with lights in 3d comp
by Erik Mickelson (Erik) on May 20, 2008 at 7:05:43 pm

I seem to remember the lights worked better in AE 6.5 than in CS3. I have a DV comp with 3d text, a floor and a wall layer, two spotlights casting 3d text shadows onto the floor and wall and a camera. With lights turned on my machine bogs down. I have a 4-5 year old PC with AE 6.5 pro and it does a lot better in this regard. I have tried turning on and off multi-processing and it did not seem to matter. I can not even scrub the timeline!

MacPro Dual Core 2 Duo 3.0Ghz, 6GB ram, 1TB Raid, Tiger 10.4.11, FCPStudio 6
