    Hi Shane,

    The presets not being installed is really wierd (i know a few folks are reporting it) but we can’t repeat it on 4 totally different systems (AMD dual and single core opteron and P4/Xeon) So I am scratching my head a bit there. The only thing i can think of is those users that are running on a non english version of XP – might explain it BUT it doesnt seem to be that simple. I don’t think the presets problem you are seeing has anything to do with your Supermicro not being a “certified” board. BTW you’re dual core AMD is the same motherboard as one of the systems we have here.

    Regarding the 64 bit stuff – The DeckLink SD cards (even though the physical connection is 32 bit) run at x2 so it is the basically the same as running a 64 bit card i.e HD Pro in SD mode. So you wont see more RT ability in SD. It all comes down the speed of the system bus and how efficient the application’s internal render engine operates for RT – even processor speed does not have THAT big an affect on RT FX. Of course this is assuming a decent RAID system is hooked up.

    PCIe gives us hardware guys more bandwidth but again it comes down to the application’s internal render engine.

    As an FYI, we did a few code changes today that fixed the AE render issue that was in 5.2.2b2 and the alpha channel thing that Ghobii reported – just want to run the installer tomorrow on a couple of machines to make sure they are addressed and then we will post another build tomorrow.

    Keep us posted on your findings.

    Hope the above helps.

    Cheers,

    Regards,

    We did some code changes today – so testing it in the morning. Not sure if that will make tomorrow’s build though. If it doesnt, give us a day or 2 to merge it in to a GM build.

    Cheers,

    Regards,

    Sorry a serious error has occurred….everytime we try and render the timeline. I’ll try a few things before I downgrade the drivers.

    In Combustion 4 (4.0.1.260) all my Quicktime files showed as corrupt. In Premiere, AE, Commotion QT clips were OK. I have QT Player 6.5.1. Should I upgrade to QT 7?

    No luck. Our timeline was a ntsc 8 bit yuv and render the work area crashed every time. Downgraded to 5.11 and the renders work fine.

    I had Quicktime 6.5.2 on another PC. QT movies are OK in Combustion 4 as well.

    Hello Matt,

    I put in a cheap Soundcard onto a PCI slot, then I could install the Blackmagic audio drivers with no problem. I then shutdown my PC and removed the Cheap Audio card. Then I restarted the system and all works fine. i did not have to uninstall the drivers as they were instralled as soon as I put in the cheap audio card for system sound.
