Live Webinar: Boris Continuum Complete's 3D Objects Filters

When: Wed, July 28,1:00pm EST

More and more motion graphics designers are using Adobe After Effects to build compositions which define a clear visual 3D space in which to create compelling animated graphics. In the Boris Continuum Complete 7 AE filter package, Boris FX provides several extremely useful generator-style filters for creating sophisticated 3D graphic elements that integrate tightly into After Effects 3D comps.

In this webinar, we'll take a close look at the Boris Continuum Complete filters offering integration with the After Effects 3D environment: BCC Extruded Text, BCC Type On Text, BCC Extruded Spline, BCC Extruded EPS, BCC Layer Deformer, BCC Pin Art 3D, and BCC Particle Array 3D. And we'll be showing some tips and techniques for working with these filters in AE in order to best exploit them in AE 3D compositions. Since these filters can also be used in NLEs such as Final Cut Pro and Avid, we'll also take a look at how they translate to that environment and how it's possible to use BCC filter effect presets created in After Effects within the NLE versions of these plug-ins.

Hot Tip: Crashy Photoshop CS5 or AE CS5 on Mac? Here's a Temporary Fix!

By Michele Yamazaki, Toolfarm.com

After I upgraded to Mac OS 10.6.4 and Photoshop CS5, I was having non-stop crashes. It would crash on launch. Just before that I was having issues with After Effects CS5 crashing while using OpenGL. Turning off OpenGL took care of that problem, but the Photoshop fix was not so obvious.

Thanks to Dan Irving, a friend from college, who found the answer for me. It turns out that there is problem with the NVIDIA graphics card kicking in during some intense processes. "Using Rosetta to run PowerPC applications will trigger the higher-performance, higher-power-usage NVIDIA graphics."

What computers does this affect?

  • New 2010 MacBook Pro with an Intel Core i5/i7.
  • NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M graphics card.
  • Mac OS X 10.6 or later.
Read this article for more info.

So what's the fix? gfxCardStatus is a little app that shows up in your top toolbar and allows you to run Intel only, NVIDIA only or use the dynamic switching. By changing mine to Intel only, the crashes have ceased.

Hopefully there will be an update from Adobe or Apple to fix this issue, but this seems like a great temporary solution. You can also downgrade your system to OS 10.6.3, but this utility is a lot easier.
