Issue: A crash can occur when certain plug-ins try to use the GPU while the “Hardware Accelerate Composition, Layer, and Footage Panels” preference is enabled.
Plug-ins that can display this behavior include:
- Foundry Camera Tracker
- Video Copilot Optical Flares
- Video Copilot Element 3D
Solution: Disable the “Hardware Accelerate Composition, Layer, and Footage Panels” preference
- Open the Preferences dialog box to the Display category
- Disable the “Hardware Accelerate Composition, Layer, and Footage Panels” preference
In the upcoming version of After Effects contention for GPU resources are prevented so that this problem doesn’t occur.
