Thanks for your prompt answer. However I have just tried what you recommend, but it looks like it does not work. I have made a few tests:

– on Sony Text events, it does not apply the shadow settings and text position

– same thing on Protype events.

Maybe I missed something, but I did find the ‘copy’ and ‘paste event attributes’ menu options, and the changes were not applied.

Thanks for any other suggestion (or correction if I missed something).

October 11, 2010 at 7:58 pm in reply to: Vegas Pro 10 Cuda perf. improvements/comparison

Hi Norman,

I see what you mean, however in my case, I am doing very few video effects except simple transitions, color adjustments, or panning/zooming, which make the preview usually real time.

However, I have just made another test, with 4 video tracks on top of each other, with transparency, slow-motion, and color correction for one of them. VMSP plays the sequence at 3 fps, while VP10 does it at 25fps (the original speed), except at one point (during about 1 second) where it falls to 22fps. Impressive, but this is of no use in my specific case.

In my case, I am concerned by rendering times because:

– I like to do 5-10′ videos of my family.
– Rendering is then about 15min-1 hour (to render to MP4, and depending on complexity)
– Then I have to manually run another tool to convert to DivX or Xvid
– And then I have to manually transfer the movie through FTP to my TV box so that my family can watch it.

So this kind of short movies does not let me much time to switch to something else, and I have to be next to my PC to run the divx encoding as soon as rendering is finished, then the FTP transfer as soon as divx conversion is done. But the CPU being used intensively, I cannot do many other stuff (well, browsing the web is ok). This is the reason why I would like the rendering to be as fast as possible.

Hope you understand my point. And maybe I am doing it the wrong way. Maybe there are ways to automate the whole process from Vegas (conversion to divx, transfer to FTP). I am ready to learn more!!

Frédéric 🙂

Thanks for this information Mike.

I have posted a comment to Eugenia, because she says that Cuda is not used, but the Vegas 10 Pro web page (https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/vegaspro10) says that yes:

“GPU-Accelerated AVC Encoding

Editors using a CUDA-enabled NVIDIA® video card are able to encode to the Sony AVC format using GPU-accelerated rendering — providing improved AVC rendering performance and speed, ensuring final projects are published faster than ever before”

Maybe Cuda is used only for encoding, not decoding?

Bad news, but interesting. Thanks!

Yes I will share the feedback.

Actually I received an answer yesterday, they say that they are not aware of Cuda issues with the GTX460 – but this does not say that they tested it. I re-asked my question once again, waiting for a new answer.

October 5, 2010 at 7:43 pm in reply to: Audio file import

Hi,

MOV files can actually embed different formats.
Maybe a first step would be that you:

1) install a free tool called MediaInfo
2) run it on one of your MOV files
3) post here a copy of the text output of the tool.

This will tell us what actually is inside your MOV files. Especially, if there is an audio track or not, how it is encoded, etc.

Also, which format are you rendering to?
Did you make sure that the audio is activated in the settings (some plug-ins let you disable audio) ?

Hope this helps,
Frédéric

Which Fred are you talking to ? 🙂
There are 2 in the discussion ! 🙂

If it’s to me, then no, I did not even know about this MPEG Stream clip tool.
Will have a look at it…

Ok, thanks. I am using both for rendering to H.264 / mp4, and didn’t have in mind that Sony AVC was doing M2TS.

I have a 7D, so I think the workflow is the same. I personnally convert the MOV files the AVIs with Cineform Neoscene (100$) before importing in Vegas. Otherwise I have out of memory errors and/or crashes, appearing randomly.

This tool has been recommended to my on this forum, and it changed my life 🙂

However, it looks like the next VegasPro version coming up will address Canon MOV files directly, and conversion should not be needed any more. To be checked…

Ok, I will definitely publish on this forum anything new I see on the GPU front.

One question for you: why do you use Sony AVC, and not MainConcept? MainConcept is twice as fast for me. Not for you?
If Sony AVC is faster on your machine, what settings do you use?

Thanks,
Frédéric

Thanks Dale, I actually know that.

As I wrote, ” I don’t even talk of the Sony AVC renderer, which takes about 6′, only uses 4 cores, and not the GPU at all even when the option is activated…”

Maybe I wasn’t clear enough, but the Sony AVC plug-in is about twice longer than MainConcept. And it takes the same time for rendering, whatever the check-state of the “use GPU” checkbox. And whatever the check-state of this checkbox, the GPU load is 0% during rendering with Sony AVC (and with MainConcept also btw – but I agree, this is “normal”).

By the way, I had to hack Premiere Pro CS5 to have it use GPU, because the GTX460 is not officially supported for it: After I installed the software, I had to edit a text file listing all accepted cards, to add mine. And I also installed the nVidia beta driver 260.69, which adds support for the CS5 suite GPU-accelerated features (as stated on the nVidia web site). Maybe there is something similar to do to have Vegas Studio work with the GTX460. I found some doc to hack Premiere Pro Cs5, but none for Vegas. And still no answer from the Sony support 🙁
