Bad got even worse (again)!

Yupp, exactly what you would expect: It’s NAB, it’s Adobe, it’s the latest After Effects update being totally screwy. You have to hand it to them – if there was an award for “Most reliably predictable mess-up with every new version”, Adobe‘s video division in Seattle would have an entire showcase full of them. I […]

Solid Quicktime

Before we get to the juicy bits, just a quick update on that Quicktime thing. Adobe have now issued some semi-official statement via their blogs. Of course it’s just the usual evasive jibber-jabber where they don’t commit to anything, but at least it should ease the minds of some people. Now for the good parts. […]

Now of course that sounds like the shit that is happening everyday and it is, but what is surprising, is that the fix is pretty easy – download the Enhanced Mitigation […]

Math.pow(2,64) – More Goodness

As I mentioned in this older post, After Effects CS5 will be a native 64bit program, which is some people’s most wanted feature, others’ most dreaded one. Reasons for fearing this day go far and wide from being stuck with an older computer that cannot be outfitted with 64bit-ness to issues with Quicktime to simply […]
