Wipes and graphics
I am in a Matrox NTSC 720×486 sequence in PPro CS5 and have a portion that I have a DV avi backround and several graphics (they were PSD, but I also placed PNG files in) this is nested, and I have tried 2 different wipes going to another avi 720×486. First frame of the wipe it appears that the graphics ‘double’ up (drop shadows get more prominent and graphics edges appear to jump slightly). I tried this first with a soft SMPTE Matrox wipe – bottom screen to top, then again with a soft Adobe wipe – same direction, both did the same thing. Dropped a dissolve on and it dissolved just fine – no problems. Is this common to PPro? Or is there some solution I’m not seeing? I thought it was maybe the styles in the PSD files, so I saved them out to PNG, but they did the same thing. Anyone see this before?
This is a new system, with Matrox MX02, Production Prem CS5, Win7, 2×3.33 Hex cores, 24GB RAM.
Thanks! TC -

Hi Todd,
I’d suggest moving this request to the Matrox COW forum, as native Adobe users may not be able to help if this issue is Matrox-specific.
I can’t look at your issue at the moment as I just moved the MXO2 hardware from PC over to our new Mac demo machine for a road test, sorry

I looked for a Matrox forum… and I just looked again. Nada. Some of the COW forums have been disappearing and reappearing later, so I’m guessing that one may pop up again at some point… then I may re-post it there. 🙂

If I post there, will they come?
Anyhow, I did a test and copied/pasted everything in the sequences to an Adobe DV Standard sequence and tried an Adobe wipe. Same thing happened. BUT! I did discover that it is only in my Program window and Program monitor, when rendered out through Media Encoder it was not there. Just thought that made it seem more PPro than Matrox issue.

And, just to follow up, this appears to be an issue with PPro and the real-time hardware acceleration through the Quadro card. Switch to software only and the problem goes away. Someone in the Matrox forums (not the Cow forums, unfortunately) pointed this out to me.
Just in case someone else is searching this issue…
