I'm having issues with After Effects. When I open it, the program says,

" Ray tracing on the GPU requires an approved NVIDIA graphics card and CUDA 5.0 or later. This may require installing the current disp;ay driver. For now, ray tracing will use the CPU. After installing CUDA 5.00 or later, restart your computer. For more info, see : http://www.adobe.com/go/aeraytracedgpu"

THis is prohibiting me from using any templetes. What do I do? Anyone?

Hi zilos,

Sorry for the confusion. GPU acceleration of ray-traced 3D compositions is only available with supported NVIDIA GPUs. Since you have an ATI card, you won't have this capability. The team does not plan to add ATI/AMD support for this feature. You can read about that in this blog post. Scroll down to the section, "GPU acceleration of rendering other than ray-traced 3D renderer."

The general advice is to use the newer 3D integration with Cinema 4D instead. It's a lot better to work this way and provides much more flexibiltiy in creating 3D compositions. Check out this video: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-after-effects-cc/introduction-to-cinema-4d-lite/

Thanks,

Kevin

[unnecessary remarks removed by moderator] this will not stop you from using any of these templates, they will just revert to CPU mode and be like a hundred times slower - just as the warning says.
