Question

Pixel Bender and Adobe After Effect

Hello.

I was wondering, Why the pbg / pbk files in After Effects run on the CPU?

Could we make them run on the GPU?

After Effects CS5 (10.01).

Thanks.

So Pixel Bender in After Effects run on the CPU. That explain why the plugins I write are really fast in the Toolkit but really slow in After Effects.

I was thinking about a video card upgrade but it seems it will be right now useless, unless Adobe implements PB on the GPU for AE.

Good to know. Thanks.

I totally agree with you.

I hope we'll see GPU accelerated PB in After Effects before version CS6, though I doubt it.

How come in Phothsop it works on the GPU and in AE it doesn't?
