The ability for After Effects to see and use an eGPU unit to take advantage of more GPU power.

Hello,

I have a MackBook Pro (2018 i9, 32M,  1TB SSD) and a BlackMagic eGPU (560 Radeon), connected through TB3, and I can tell you: After Effects ignores all of it. The AE is eGPU enabled, the RAM shared is 27GB and the scratch disk (SSD) has 600GB. However, all of these doesn't matter for the app, specially when there are audio tracks or short footage clips along the timeline. 

It is very disappointing. What is it happening here?

Allowing AE users on Mac to access full capabilities of an eGPU to speed up productivity would be INSANELY helpful. Thank you.
