| I'm using 10.7.3 and AE CS5.5, and although it has been stable, I find I am less productive in Lion. Silly little things like hiding other apps not pushing them to the bottom of the Cmd-tab queue, lack of Save As in some apps (the duplicate-and-save workaround is slower), user folders being hidden (have a sidebar alias now), scroll bars disappearing by default (have that sys pref changed as well), rebooting not remembering layout of Finder windows regardless of Shut Down option, etc. - Chris On Mar 13, 2012, at 9:00 AM, Jim Curtis wrote: > So, I guess the answer is NO, don't move to Lion for working in the Creative Suite? > > Here's what I've learned from using 10.7.3 on a separate partition (with upgraded drivers for Lion): Shapeshifter and FreeFormPro plugs still crash AE.

I regret not just staying put with my beloved Snow Leopard 10.6.8. SO MUCH FASTER AND RESPONSIVE. In my experience at least. As far as Adobe and Lion goes, AE has operated about the same for me. I've had Media Core failing on launch a few times due to the "saved state" function of Lion, but deleting the actual saved state resolves it. I'm saddened that the saved state is not an optional feature, it just is the new way of operating with Lion now. Photoshop has run decently, but i haven't really pushed it at all. Haven't touched the other Adobe apps in Lion yet. Overall, I've watched my MacBook Pro drop about 50% in speed and usefulness because of the update. 10.7.2 didn't help any either. 10.7.3 is around the corner and my fingers are crossed that I can hopefully gain back my once beloved machine from it's coma. >>> >>> David Torno >>> Visual Effects Artist & Supervisor >>> http://www.ghosttownmedia.com >>> O: 213.739.2290 >>> C: 818.391.6060 >>> --------------------- >>> http://www.sydefxink.com >>> http://aeioweyou.blogspot.com >>> http://mactex.blogspot.com >>> >>> "The most useless day is that in which we do not laugh" >>> -Charles Field >>> >>> On Jan 31, 2012, at 2:27 PM, Jim Curtis <jpcurtis@me.com> wrote: >>> >>>> Due to my policy of not upgrading to an OS.0 release, I've held off on upgrading my main systems to 10.7.x. >>>> >>>> I have heard scant few reports of CS, or rather third-party plugs, not working with 10.7 that were working fine under 10.6.8. >>>> >>>> Most the bad has been about audio plug-ins, not necessarily Ae plug-ins.
