After Effects and Intel based MacPro Computers
After Effects has had some serious export issues when using an Intel Mac based computer. GridIron Nucleo fixes this problem, but if you do not want to drop $150 to fix this problem I thought you would like a free native solution.
Closed all other Rosetta apps and processes, lowered the memory settings WAY down (max memory to 30%, Max RAM Cache to 15%). This should up your rendering to more than twice as fast on a G5 or Mac Pro running 6.5!
Here is a proven set up system:
1. Mac Pro 2 x Dual-core Xeon 2.66, MacOS 10.4.8
2. Final Cut Studio 5.1 on same machine
3. 3GB RAM, all Apple - 2x512 on one riser, 2x1GB on the other
4. Did NOT use Migration Assistant (no one who uses pro apps should)
5. Trash prefs and workspaces.
This is a great starting point to get After Effects to work on you system but you may have other conflicts with various programs.
