Had issues with CUDA and After Effects CS6 11.0.1 Update but FIXED THEM

After updating to After Effects CS6 11.01 I started getting an error message about CUDA not working.Strangely CUDA was still working fine in Premiere Pro CS6, so it had to be the AE Update.And I am running the latest CUDA.The thing is it just wasn't showing up in After Effects and was using CPU instead of CPU for CUDA.I tried trashing After Effects preferences, but that didn't work, so I found and downloaded the standalone 11.01 update installer and that fixed the issue for now.

Adobe Blogs has the news on this one. Adobe has releases a set of Tablet settings for the Amazon Kindle Fire, Barnes & Noble Nook, iPad 1 and 2 and Android Tablets as well as XDCAM EX and AVC-Intra in MXF wrappers for Windows and for Mac.And for Mac OS only they have released a set of ProRes 422 Encoding Presets.Basically you download them and exract them, then open Adobe Media Encoder CS6 and chose Preset > Import and import the presets.This is great, and these should have come with the program, and they need to make presets for the New iPad as well!

Layers Magazine on Photoshop CS6 Type Styles

Layers magazine has an excellent article on the powerful new Type Styles in Adobe Photoshop CS6. This is very cool, as you can apply layer styles to different type layers, and then if you change the style, you automatically make global changes to text. TOO COOL!

Larry Jordan on Adobe Prelude

Larry Jordan has an excellent article on the new Adobe Prelude CS6 for ingesting and logging footage.I knew it was for logging and even cutting a rough assembly, but didn't realize it could export to either Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro 7. Very cool.And it sounds like the biggest issue is the lack of ProRES presets for Media Encorder, which I always found odd, but not hard to create for oneself.Larry also offers a complete 2 hour tutorial on how to use Prelude at his site.
