Enabling CUDA on Yosemite After Effects Raytracing GTX 970

[Ni6htWalker]

Well, I tried running a AE Ray Tracing benchmark project got some errors and did some more research. Turns out it is a Maxwell issue. This explains a lot: http://www.studio1productions.com/blog/?p=346

I don't normally use AE so I hadn't tested it fully.

damn i bought my video card because i thought was going to work with AE.

hi!!
i found the file, but the file is locked and do not allow me to edit..
how do i go about doing it?

im using GTX 760 card. can use the same method right?

*Update*
I've tried copied the file to desktop, added my card name to the txt file. and copied into the folder again.
but it didnt work!

thank!!!

Hi! Sorry for my english.

I have the same problem you had on After Effects CC 2015 with my Gtx 780.
Premiere and other programs recognize cuda except AE. All Adobe are updated.
I tried to make the raytracer file and put in 'contents' folder but I did not get results.

You said "took me some time to find the folder with the raytracer file".
Please, could you tell me where the raytracer file is? I can't find it.

Thanks !!

Update!



Finally!!!
3 hours later, patience + 1 liter of coffee ....
I could find the raytracer file:

/Contents/ Resources/ raytracer_supported_cards.txt

Then I wrote my card "GeForce GTX 780" and voilà... Cuda enable on After Effects CC 2015

Thanks guys!!

As explained on this post from Macvidcards, raytracer can be fixed on Adobe CC 2015.1 & CC 2015.2 by replacing optix libs from 3.8 version from Nvidia Developper zone :

To save you some download time and painfull survey from adobe, here are the two files needed.
replace to AE folder:
/Applications/Adobe After Effects CC 2015/Adobe After Effects CC 2015.app/Contents/Frameworks

Hey friend, can you re-upload it please?
File on zippy share has expired.
Thanks!

Friends, please re-upload this piece of technology. I'm a video hobbyist and you know, AE2015 is fooling me saying that we don't have the optix library.

You have to register at nvidia as a developer to get the files. I don't know how it works with AE CC 2015. Here it works with AE CS6. I use the files from Optix SDK-3.9.1 with cuda 8.0.46. I tried also SDK-4.0.1 files without success.
