  • ProRes effects rendering problem

    Posted by Tom Lathrop on January 15, 2008 at 7:16 pm

    We are having problems with effects rendering and playing using Prorez 422 HQ.
    Our system is: Mac Pro 2x 2.66 GHz dual core Xeon, 4GB RAM, with a NVidea GeForce 7300GT graphics card with 256 MB VRAM, pulling media off of a fFacillis over ethernet at.
    We get the following error message:

    “The effect “Desaturate” cannot be rendered in sequence of this size with the current graphics card”

    The time line shows the effect as rendered, but it will not play in the canvas desaturated. It does show in the Browser desaturated.
    Settings are at Safe RT, High Quality, full frame rate – we need to go out to tape.
    Obviously, the error indicates we should use a different graphics card, but is this correct? Everything else I read indicates that this card should be enough to edit and do effects with in FCP. Is there a problem with using this card for Prorez or HD material? What is the recommended card? Are there any links to the recommendations or known issues? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you,

    Hi,

    is this Filter one of the standard ones that comes with FCP or is a plug-in added by you.

    If this is the case, check te version and compatibility with your current version of FCP

    Some outdated filters with weird behavior sometimes work if you set the Motion processing to normal or fast.

    Also try to do a test working with local files

    Also check the threat “weird renders in FCP” is not the same problem but maybe helps.

    I am having exactly the same issue……

    I am also running a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT graphics card. I’ve tested an uncompressed 1080 QT (10 bit) in a uncompressed timeline to rule out the ProRes issue and I’m still getting the same errors. “the effect ‘overdrive’ (etc.) cannot be rendered in a sequence of this size with the current graphics card.”

    If I change the sequence to 8 bit – then the issue goes away…. So colour depth and resolution combined seem too much for the card.

    Any takers???????
