How to use GPU in plugin?

[igorr60572095]

Hi, everyone!.

I hope everyone is going well.

I have developed a small plugin like Resizer. But i am afraid it is to slow to use.

How can I use GPU in this plugin?

If you know about that, would you explain about that in detail?

Regards,

Igor.

Hi!

There is a plugin called GLator in the sample effects of the SDK. It shows how to use OpenGL inside AE.

To the best of my knowledge, this is the only example of effect using the GPU.

Cheers,

François

New in the October 2017 release of After Effects CC, AE now supports the GPU effect rendering previously only supported in Premiere Pro.  Let me know if you're interested in building something for this latest release.  The plug-in SDKs are ready, but in a queue to be posted.

For earlier versions, GLator is the way to go.

Thanks for your response.

I can't run GLator plugin because there is a error.

How can I test that?

What version of After Effects is this, Igor?

[igorr60572095]

It is cs6 SDK.

Hi Igor,

from what I can remember, CS6' Glator is broken (I think it crashes if the source size is more than 1024 pixels wide or high).

You definitely should use the latest SDK, even if you build your plugins fro CS6.

Cheers,

François

PS: Zac, when do you think the new SDK will be released?

Current ETA for the new SDK to be posted is Jan 23.
