  • Xpress Pro HD 5.1 – no motion displayed

    Posted by Ozzie Alfonso on June 9, 2005 at 5:39 am

    I have installed Pro HD v5.1 on my Vaio S380P laptop with an external USB Sound Blaster card.

    I have problem — I get audio, I get video, but the video doesn’t “stream.” I get stills instead. If I move along the clip I can see all the images but no streaming. I think I’ve had this in the past with other systems and I forget the correction. The display adapter used in the S380P is the NVIDIA GeForce Go 6200. I have 2 gigs of RAM. Any ideas?

    Please note that v4.6 (which I’ve reverted to until the problem is solved) works perfectly in this same system with the same configuration, but v5.1 HD won’t – why?

    Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

    Have you tried updating to AXP HD 5.1.4?

    In fact version 5.1.4 is the one I’ve been trying to run. I had it running fine in my older Vaio laptop – V505ACP. My new Vaio has more ram, a larger and faster internal drive. The sound chipset is not the same – I had to resort to an external SoundBlaster USB card, but the video should be no problem, and it isn’t except that it won’t display in anything other than still frames.

    I was wondering if it might be a setting I’m forgetting to change either in the BIOS, in XP, or in Avid itself.

    Any suggestions from anyone? I’m sure I’m not alone with this problem.

    Did you find a solution to this, Ozzie?

    Unfortunately no. I was directed to a site that specializes on kludging NVIDIA drivers to work with Avid, but the ones I was recommended do nothing. It

    Jeff, although I haven’t found a solution to the problem, I did stumble into something curious – when I export clips or sequences to Sorenson’s Squeeze they play and sound fine. These are the same sequences that display only as stills in Avid. By the way, I’m now up to v 5.1.5.
