Thanks! Much clearer now.

I did not get the CreativeCow email, however what I understand:

– this SDK helps developers implement video encoding and decoding programs taking benefit from GPU acceleration of Intel graphics cards

– it does not support (yet) nVidia and AMD GPUs.

– so far, Intel does not even support OpenCL for its graphics cards (OpenCL is the language being used by Vegas to access both nVidia and AMD GPU parallel computing capabilities).

So, unless I missed some important point in the email, this SDK by itself does not really compete with Vegas. But it could be used in a future version of Vegas to leverage the power of Intel graphics cards for H264 rendering for instance (or H264 events decoding).

Hope this helps,
Frederic

Hi,

Glad to read that whiteness is far better (it actually looks so on your last clip!) 🙂

I am not an expert about sharpness, but did you try the Sony tool? (in French it is called “Netteté Sony”, so I guess it should be Sony Sharpness in English).

My 2 cents,
Frederic

Hi,

Could you please add a link to this offer? Not sure what you are referring to – and a Search on CreativeCow did not help me finding.

Thanks,
Frederic

Hi,

I have made a test with FBmn Software White Balance and Exposure (grabbing a screen capture of your Youtube video… not sure about the quality), and I have got this:

I don’t know how was the original lighting and white balance, just tried to guess.

Oops, you are right, the debugging option I mentioned is not available in the Express edition. Too bad.

Sorry for that.

As mentioned earlier in this thread, take the script development kit available on the SCS web site, get Visual Studio C# 2010 Express.

It will be pretty easy to get the extension script running.

If it may help, here “my” a mini tutorial:

1) run VS2010
2) create a new C# project
3) create a new C# class:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Sony.Vegas;

namespace VegasScriptTest {
public class EntryPoint {
public void FromVegas(Vegas vegas) {
MessageBox.Show(vegas.Version);
}
}
}

[Sorry: indentation does not appear here, don’t know why)

4) in the project properties, debug tab, set the “start external program” field to the path to Vegas110.exe (or Vegas100.exe)
5) Run the project: it will run Vegas
6) In Vegas, go to Tools > Script > Execute Script…
7) Select your .cs file
8) You should see a dialog box showing the Vegas version.

Then you “just” have to browse the API documentation to find which objects, fields and methods you need to use for what you want to do 🙂

As far as I remember, you may also debug your script, executing it step by step (not 100% sure – did not do that for a while)

Some of the cool things using VS2010 is that you benefit from classes/fields/methods automatic completion, and syntax highlighting.

Hope this helps,
Frederic

Hi,

I could personally see great preview perf improvements switching from VP10 to VP11. This with a GTX460.

Hi,

Scott, what is the load of your GPU while you render or preview?

you may checked that by using a tool like the one mentioned by Stephen, or also the “EVGA precision” utility that you can freely download on their web site.

This would let us know if your GPU is actually being used, or not.

Hope this helps,
Frederic

Hi,

I didn’t get any such issue with VP11 64 bits so far.

And I had it a lot with former versions, especially Pro 9 and Movie Studio (not sure to remember the number. Probably 10).

Hope this helps,
Frederic
