AMD Adobe Fixes

Character animator runs perfectly well in VMware Fusion 10 Windows virtual machine, including the Webcam support. I'm using it right now, in Unity view, so CA is just another window. Export through Media encoder is a bit slower as it's not hardware accelerated (GPU is, but encoding isn't), but it's a perfectly acceptable way to work.
 
For people still having problems using "color range" or "liquify" in last PS version. There is something you can do.

Follow instructions here : https://gist.github.com/naveenkrdy/26760ac5135deed6d0bb8902f6ceb6bd ; and replace launchctl setenv MKL_DEBUG_CPU_TYPE 5 (or 4, depending on your cpu) by launchctl setenv MKL_DEBUG_CPU_TYPE 2 in the previously ~/Library/LaunchAgents/environment.plist created.
 
Has anyone gotten the latest October release 17.5 of After Effects working? It won't launch for me :(
 
about version 17.5 V40 of after effects
I have to correct my self :)
In my rig Camera Tracking is not working properly as in 17.1.4 v37 does
 
Latest version of Character Animator works without any fixes in Big Sur! I can't verify if it's Big Sur or the new release of CA, but it does work flawlessly.

I'm trying to get Adobe Affects to work on my build buut haven't had any luck even with the "Adobe Fix". what steps did you follow to get version 17.1.4 working. I still get Camera Raw errors no matter how far back I try to go
 
makes no difference with 3950x, still crashing
It was working for the previous version of PS. At the moment, there is no fix.

Actually, there is one : use a virtualized OS. I think I will try if I really need the last PS, LR, BR versions.

a little correction: Liquify and Neural Filters are not working with the suggested ...'TYPE 2', but PS etc. do run without this, so it's not needed
 
no luck opening 2021

I know, this is kinda OT, but I want to share it anyways: If you're just using Adobe casually, there might be an easier solution: Switch to Affinity - its basically the same thing, much cheaper and has a really great community support: https://affinity.serif.com/ (they have extended test perios up to three months from time to time, just have a look. I switched from Adobe to Affinity and dont regret it a bit, gotta do a big print production on it yet though)

I have Affinity and I can vouch that it's a great alternative. However I've been using Photoshop for decades now and for 'a veteran' user so to say, I couldn't get past the learning curve. But if you just need a powerful editor that can do everything Photoshop can, without the recurring fees... Affinity is your friend. They make great Illustrator and InDesign clones as well.

I am using Photoshop 2020 and while it works great and is stable, it does sometimes hang on exit every time. Minor inconvenience, but it didn't used to this... Anyone have this issue?

EDIT I updated my Photoshop to 21.2.7 (had to run scripts to get it to work again) but it now seems to exit correctly again. I forget, Photoshop 22.31 is off-limits right? (I haven't researched the current state of fixes for that version)

Has anyone gotten Warp Stabilizer working in either PP or AE 2021 yet? I've been trying all night, with no success; all threads lead to a dead end so far

Update:
https://danieldk.eu/Posts/2020-08-31-MKL-Zen.html

A very minor breakthrough on the MKL and why it's no longer working

So basically MKL hack has been taken away by the intel and thus we can no longer use MKL Debug command (5 or 2). Looks like they may be implementing AMD in the future releases

But whilst we wait, I may have found a way to sidestep this entirely. Have a look at the link above. Someone with more technical know how may be able to create an other terminal command based on the int mkl_serv_intel_cpu_true() code that was written by Daniel
