hi daniel

i did try various options in the GL dialog and preview panes, and no, haven't updated graphics card drivers - in fact didn't know i could do that with my laptop.

Have you tried turning OpenGL off and/or updating your graphics card drivers?

Whoah. Try turning off disk caching completely. It's possible there's a bug with the preference or some other subtlety, but this isn't something I've seen before.

hi all
since upgrading to AE 5.5 on my MacbookPro 17 i7 OSX 10.6.7 i've been getting a lot of odd behavior/crashes that seem to be mostly related to Open GL. i'll be scrubbing the timeline to find a cue and AE will sometimes crash and generate a new save and sometimes just beachball. i have a couple of projects that have a bit of unavoidable bloat that take a long time to open, and i also have been continually getting errors that my startup disk is full. when i check my drive it shows 15MB free space, and upon closing AE it goes back to about 30gig. i have capped my disk cache in prefs so i'm at a loss to track down that one. and now one of the large projects won't open at all - beachballs on "open project." smaller projects open swiftly.
any thoughts would be appreciated - i am about to try importing the project into a fresh one.
cheers
bruce
