Graphic Card too slow?Posted by Katrin1980
I have a Mac Pro with 2x2.8 GHz Quad-Core and 14 GB memory, a cinema display and a second monitor.
I'm currently working in Motion creating an animation with music, camera movement and about 8 layers and 8 lights...all keyframed. When I reached the third layer I had to reduce render quality to draft and disable the lights to be able to keep on working. Whenever I made a move I had to wait for a couple of seconds for the screen to refresh. The activity monitor shows that I have enough RAM left and should be able to work without delay...only I can't. Is that normal? Or is my graphics card (256 MB) too slow? Or is there a way to tell Motion to use all of the CPUs simultanously?
The graphics card is the key component for Motion's performance - you didn't say what kind you have, only how much VRAM is on it. If it's the stock card, it's a slow card. The best card for Motion right now by far is this one:

You can bring any Motion system to its knees with enough blurs, lights, particles, long project, etc.
