Just a topic about Lion, I'm holding back upgrading the main mean machine but running it on a low use laptop to try out, all seems OK. In particular:

1) Quicktime 7 is still running fine, all previous codecs, output formats available

2) Linotype FontXplorer (what FontBook should look like) survives unscathed

3) Cinebench OGL scores are pimped from 35 to 39.

...... aaaaand that's about it so far, other than the usual OS crud. I'm holding back with the workstation for a bit but so far it's been remarkably smooth.

Cheers - C

Don't use Nuke, but modo seems fine here - 501 anyway.

Leather the colour of diarrhoea - what's not to like?

sounds good for AE and would that include PS and Ills also? any one know if Maya 2011 is working ok?

In case people want to change the vomit inducing look of iCal back to the previous one:

Also Lion hides the 'Library' folder in your 'User' folder by default (so stupid). Found a post where you can change it back with Terminal or any hidden folder/file for that matter:

I'd be very interested to know if anyone is able to actually test the new OS with NUKE.

[Aaron Scott]

Weird, the one person I know who updated already said that his QuickTime 7 was destroyed in the upgrade.

Here's the list of issues that we know about:

None are specific to After Effects, but things like the hidden Library panel and reversed scrolling direction are relevant.

Oops - scratch that. modo is a crash-fest with Lion, even more than before. All OpenGL related I think, whenever I switch view options modo dies.

Seems suicidal to upgrade before Adobe releases its updates.

PC user here... So I am just curious whats really up with this:


Lion Disables Flash, Photoshop Features

[Todd Kopriva]

Just a note:

I've seen one instance in which you need to clear all of your After Effects preferences after the OS update. Just FYI.

We're running Lion on a lot of machines here with no problems with After Effects or Premiere Pro beyond some minor inconveniences, like those mentioned in my previous post.

[Sao_Bento]

I doubt that this matters much to most of the folks here, but the Flash acceleration has not been disabled in Lion.

I installed Lion yesterday. Sounded like it went smoothly with what I read and improved Performance for cinema. Had to do that java script install that happens automatically after the main upgrade and found the QT7 installer. Everything seems to work fine AE, PSD, AI, FCP, C4d, and Font Explorer Pro. The only thing that broke was my ppc version of Quicken. Guess I will have to give Intuit some more money.

Not really into bells and whistles, but some of the interface updates are nice and like the new mail. The only thing I have to find is a way to turn on volume space that use to be on the bottom of the finder window. Just haven't looked too hard for that yet.

Also when you try to download it again for another computer it says I already purchased it and I could download it again for free.

Good luck to the others that try it.

The new Font Book prevents you from turning off the essential Mac OSX fonts, which is pretty cool as it limits peoples ability to get into trouble. Not just implemented at the "I wouldn't do that if I were you" dialog, but at the font level, where "deactivate" is not even an option.

To do this restart AE while holding down the Command + Option + Shift keys (Mac) or Control + Alt + Shift (Windows).


I had to do this as well

(the auto correct feature is whack)

So far it's a big pile of meh, turned autocomplete off, turned window restore off, deleted Launchpad from dock, reversed scroll direction back to normal, Mission control is not an improvement, luckily I don't use ical, mail or the adressbook, i hate app resume... This release feel very "vista" to me with all the crap i have to turn off to get a usable system back.

In Finder, cmd+/ or view menu -> show status bar.
