MAC Users – How to verify CUDA is functioning on new Quadro 4000
-
[Tom Daigon] “I found out that the latest Nvidia Quadro 4000 drivers and CUDA drivers need to be running on OSX 10.6.8. When I tried to install the drivers on 10.6.7 the software wouldnt let me do it. So you might be missing out on better performance by not having the latest drivers installed.Here is a link to the latest…”
We noticed that last night as well. We’ve been holding out on going to 10.6.8 due to other issues we’ve seen noted with that OS update. We generally are not early adopters of OS updates until they are thoroughly vetted by other users. 🙂 Especially if our machines are working fine the way they are. Can’t afford too much down time. But you’re right, we may need to look into that

> … I can’t force a render of the clip because PR doesn’t see any filter that needs to be rendered.
You can render a preview for any portion of a sequence. Just use the Render Entire Work Area command.
Details about red, yellow, and green render bars and commands for rendering previews are here.

For what its worth, I have a Mac Pro 3,1 with 24 gigs of ram and lots of software (CS5.5, lots of plugins for AE, Logic, Mocha, Syntheyes, Toast) and the upgrade seemed to go fine. I haven’t check FCS 3 but that’s history for me anyway so no need.

You can also set keyboard shortcuts for this.
Shift+Return works well.

I agree with Alex. That’s what I recommend in the article that I pointed to.

When I place an HD clip in my SD timeline and apply no effects. I don’t get any colored line and therefore can’t get PR to render the work area when using that command. Agree on the short cuts for sure. Still running 10.6.6. We’ll have to find time to do the update and make sure all is still working afterwards. Right in the middle of some big jobs and we don’t usually like to make OS changes at times like that. 🙂

Beginning the transition away from FCP . I have MacPro4,1 with 20 Gig ram and a Nvidia 4000 GPU. At the most basic level I can’t get Premiere pro 5.5 in the project settings for rendering to be anything but Mercury Playback Engine software only. Ran the CUDA update ver 4.0.50
