No. You probably saw very old messages from before 3.0.2 was released.
There is no 64-bit version of particleIllusion.

Ok, so apparently there is a problem with this in Vista 64 and Win 7 64 bit. Anybody using XP 64 with the same problem?
Image sequence is the same too, or is it AVI only for you?

That’s crazy. Your computer should be at least twice as fast as mine.
Is anybody else running a 64-bit Windows having this problem? (I may need to create a new post about this)
I don’t have any more suggestions right now.

If you can’t get at least 25 fps playback with a 640×480 image sequence or AVI (with no emitters), then something is definitely wrong.
Do these steps (Do not do extra steps):
1) New project.
2) Open Project settings and make the stage size 640×480. Close project settings.
3) Add the “Sparks variations 05 (mb)” emitter from the Default.il3 library. (add it to the center of the stage)
4) Click “save output”
5) type “640test.png” as the name and click OK
6) When the render finishes, click “New Project” again.
7) Double-click the empty layer thumbnail image and select one of the “640test.png” images (and one).
8) Click “yes” to use the sequence
9) If it says the stage size is different, click “yes” to resize the stage.
10) hit spacebar to start playback.What framerate are you getting? (Framerate is displayed in the status bar).
I get 29.5 fps. If I turn off hardware acceleration I get 20 fps.

I’m not sure what aligning the free emitters (the emitters that the super emitter creates) will do for you, as they’re not visible. Can you post an image of your effect right now so I can see what the problem is?

If you already tried changing the “do not use texture RAM for bg images” setting in the OpenGL page of prefs, then I have no more suggestions.
You can tell if the slowdown is happening because of drawing or because of file loading by zooming the stage out quite small (25% or less) with bg images/video loaded. If playback is much faster, then it’s a drawing issue — maybe you need updated drivers, or maybe your graphics hardware is not fast enough.
If zooming out makes no difference, then it’s the loading and decoding of the file that is taking the most time, and there’s not much you can do about that without changing hardware.
If you’re using AVIs, maybe the codec used is the issue. Some older codecs are really slow. If you’re using uncompressed AVIs, that could be the problem too.

Well I’m not sure what’s going on. The files are all where they should be…
I wonder if it’s a DNS caching issue, where “https://www.wondertouch.com” is still pointing to our old server (which is gone) in some DNS caches? If that’s the case, then the problem should resolve itself in time. I wonder how long it takes though?
