Why don’t you creat one in the common folder, Premiere will recognise it. How about the individual plugin folders

Thanks for the assurance. I only hope that we don’t go the way the CS4 drivers took us.

Just like most of the quadro cards helping in 3d graphics to render and process effects faster, the Mercury Playback Engine which exploits the full power of those Nvidia Cards will do the same thing. To enable you preview the rendered Video on your normal external monitor through firewire, decklink or any other i/o. Your system is okay now but you will gain some speed with the MRE based Card. I know that with time ATI with come out with a card to take advantage of CS5 MRE. All the test swere done with extreme quad systems with hyperthreading.
Let’s wait for the CS5 to come out and see how your system copes and I know people will do various tests to see the advantages.

Yeah They 64bit used to be only Photoshop CS3, now all the CS5 can use up to 12gb ram and more. The Mercury rendering Engine takes advantage the Nividia card to speed up the editing

Oh yes, the firewire killed all the firewire inputs of my decks and a DSR 170, and I do not have any deck control now. So I am now using an ADVC 100 that I got years ago. I am afraid that the Edius Spark or Storm will conflict with my Intensity Pro.
Let’s see what CS5 will do. I hope the plugin companies are ready too. We had to wait for months when CS4 came -
I use the firewire on the same system with intensity so the intensity handles the HD. But HD is only 15% of my workload. All the previews in Edius HD or SD are via firewire. The production end up in all versions needed Blu-ray, DVD etc after I make various movie versions. I do more for TV and I send out in DV or Betacam SP. 90% of my outputs are via PPro. I like Edius because of the keying and also the titler and no crashes. It also plays most filters in realtime thro firewire. I might get the HD Storm if the need arises, But at the moment I make HD movies in Edius and finalise the output in whatever format is needed. Edius editing is a little bit slow (Maybe for me as I’ve use premiere 15yrs)
If the Mercury video card will stop the HD crashes -
This brings us to the big question. Do we invest in a Quad Xeon Extreme with an average video card or an average CPU and a Mercury card?
-
A basic firewire card works very good and previews REAL TIME with Edius and will co-exist with any other card. Talking about buying a video card for $1450 to enable you free your CPU makes no sense. Beacause you want to use the CPU and Ram. Let’s hope CS5 uses all the power of the 8 CORES and the big Ram.

Is that true and is the news coming from BMD? I have never been able to use my intensity cards for PPro.4 on three machine. Hope it is good this time.

It is very disappointing. The drivers even made my CS3 not to function properly. It screwed up my system that I am now using firewire and everything is great. Intensity Pro was good before CS4 but now it is a total waste after installing the new drivers (Version 3.)
