After Effects CC would not activate my GTX 670 4GB on my MacPro

Premiere Pro did it fine, but After Effects CC would not do it, and strangely the 670 isn’t listed in supported GPU’s but I got it to work.

First i booted as root, and was still having the same problem, so I decided to manually hack After Effects CC.

VidMuze has instructions for CS6 which worked for me in CS6, so i did them in CC or at least added the card name from CS6 and put it into the CC file. http://www.vidmuze.com/how-to-enable-gpu-cuda-in-adobe-cs6-for-mac/

Now my video card works in After Effects CC for Ray Trace.

Now it’s time to re-install my plug-ins and hope they all work. Red Giant as already updated their installers to work with CC.
