Premiere CS5 Playout has a problem
-
I have an older Toshiba Qosmio and is considering buing the newer x500. Can you enable the mercury playback engine in CS5 with the onboard nvidia grafic card ?

Bo,
I am not pushing CS5 or the Qosmio very hard, editing XDCam and some DV all Standard Def. But now that you mentioned it, I am curious. The card NVIDIA GeForce GTS 360M is not presently listed by Adobe but someone told me it can be added through a hack. I will try it next week and see how it works. I’ll let you know.

Great – it’s not a big thing to add your grafic card to the txt file to make it work. I am waiting for your reply 🙂

I ran the GPUSniffer test it told me my CUDA driver was outdated, so I updated and now it is telling me my card is not on the list so I am adding and seeing how that works.

Bo,
I added the card to the list and it seems to have worked. I can now run the Mercury Engine with Hardware Acceleration. When I do that however, it does not play out into my deck, it just freezes on the first frame. I haven’t figured that one out yet.

Hmm and it did work before. Is there anything it needed to render before and that it does not need to render anymore. I had a strange thing on my workstation – I had to start a new project in CS5.02 ( after updating) and import my CS5 project to make everything work ok …

Read somewhere that the MPE have to be changed to mercury software if you need to export to DV. I cannot export at all….

I read that somewhere too, and I think that’s the problem here.

Ok now this is weird. If I go into MSCONFIG and boot only the minimum services, and no startups Premiere will play out a 20 minute timeline most of the time without a problem. If I start to add anything back in, it starts to fail. Could this be a memory problem? The Laptop has 8 gig of Ram which is the max for this laptop.

I dont think so. My older qosmio only have 2gB ram and it works fine with CS5. My problem now is that I have changed to record all in 720-50p and it is to heavy for my old machine (G30)
