    Someone's getting fired


    ‌Let me try to clarify:

    What David showed on the Apple stage was a demonstration of the potential that Metal has for After Effects, as well as for other Adobe creative applications. In his role leading our R&D group, he has committed us to pursuing performance in general as well as specifically with Metal on the Mac platform. But that is not a statement about specific timing of when these features will be publicly available, nor is it a promise about exactly what parts of the application will be taking advantage of this technology when that time comes.

    My statements here have been meant to prevent the misunderstanding that there is a specific short-term commitment to release features of this nature in any specific version of After Effects.

    I apologize for the confusion.

    We are currently exploring various technologies for GPU acceleration, and Metal is one possibility, but we have made no commitment to any specific GPU acceleration technology at this time.

    Todd you're embarrassing your self.  This what was said, "So Adobe is committed to bringing metal to all of its Mac OS creative cloud applications such as illustrator and after effects as I showed you today as well as Photoshop and premier pro. So we are very excited to see what metal can do for our creative cloud users."

    I Guess you didn't get the memo that they actually did make a commitment.


    I am the person who makes the commitments for After Effects. The person who did the demonstration was a member of of our engineering team demonstrating the results of an experiment.
