In my opinion CS5 has been the most significant upgrade in AE history only because of 64bit, it just makes a world of difference to have access to more than 3GB, the max the 32bit OS gave access to as far as i remember.

And as far i am concerned CS4 was the most unreliable version of AE, it crashed all the time, almost always because of ram limitations. And that was a dark period of AE, since most other versions had been so stable, going all the way back to v4.1 :-)

CS6 was also a mayor release feature wise and the new cache is really a timesaver. Yes, there is a few gotchas with it, especially with thirdparty plugins, but make sure you have the latest updates from Adobe and the plugins to see if they might be fixed by now.

with 8GB in your laptop i would assume that you will also see a good workflow boost upgrading from CS4 AE to CS6 AE

Thankfully my laptop has 8GB of RAM, not 4, so I am looking forward to 64bit in AE. (and the boot drive is an SSD). I've been following the posts on the new cache so I know not to expect magic, but I will test it out to form my own opinion. Thanks for the discussion!

My words exactly. Going to 64bit helps, but CS6 is not necessarily a step forward. It's always like it's all nice and impressive as long as you have two layers in your comp and scrub them with fast preview and then as soon as you start nesting stuff or apply certain effects, expressions or time-remapping it folds on itself and gets those cache issues. And some plug-ins like Particular don't work relaibly in CS6 to this day (regardless of whoever is to blame for that...)

CS6 is bit buggy with disk cache and RAM previews, but CS5.5 is a huge, massive, night/day difference primarily because it’s 64-bit which matters even on 4GB laptop but if you’re running AE, surely you can run it a system with at least 8GB of RAM.

But despite the bugs in CS6, I still run it more than CS5.5 though the region of interest/MP bug drives me insane.

A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
