[preston mullins] “Any advice?”

Yup, “sheep-dip” a few through your graphics package, using a Save As Copy PNG in the format that you know that works with Vegas, and be done with ’em! Make sure you have the same resolution as your client’s. But that’s my way. If it doesn’t work, don’t blame me!

How much RAM have you set aside for Building RAM Previews in Preferences.

So, John, you agree that SCS have not been explicit.

Thank you.

I emailed you. Haven’t you got it yet?

[John Rofrano] “I know I’ve said this before but this is why most professionals buy a Mac. It comes with one or two graphics card choices. Every software manufacturer is using the same two cards that Apple and their customers are using and everything usually works. When your business depends on your tools working correctly, it doesn’t matter of you have 100 choices, it only matters if it works!”

Alright! Therefore SCS should tell us, out in the open, to all of us go buy a MAC then? Yes? Or regard us as NOT being professionals ‘cos we don’t? Is that it?

[John Rofrano] “IMHO, Sony should have published a list of approved/tested cards.”

But surely they have done so by saying the following? Give them credit John, credit where it is due – c’mon . . .

[John Rofrano] “This is why I recommend the Quadro 4000/5000 or the GeForce GTX 570 because that’s what Sony used in their GPU Acceleration testing.”

So why AREN’T SCS being explicit about this?

[John Rofrano] “Note what it states on the Sony GPU page in my link:

NVIDIA recommends NVIDIA Quadro for professional applications and recommends use of the latest boards based on the Fermi architecture.”

So, are SCS telling us explicitly to make this so? By quoting a supplier? Are they saying that this is the way VP12 will ever work properly? That is not explicit. It is a “recommendation” it does not say VP12 wont work, it is wrapped-up in a “recommendation”.

I don’t know what Kepler, Schmepler, Fermi, Furby means?! I want a known card to SCS; that is known by SCS to work; with the potential for drivers that can handle the simplest of editing and the new features of VP12. And in my book, that is being professional.

IMHO, I also don’t believe it is valuable to be quoting one of their suppliers recommendations, when they don’t explicitly say so themselves. It leaves a lot of potential inappropriate-card purchasing-decisions being made by us Vegas followers.

Which leaves me with the dull, painful, scary thought as to WHO has been testing the nVidia card Vegas-suitability? Who .. indeed . . ? Penny dropping anywhere . . ?

So, what did you do?

I “feel” very very strongly about this whole SCS<>nVidia embroilment.

A] My card, the GTX560ti now plays nicely with what I am throwing at VEGAS. But it has taken at least a year plus from VP10>VP11>VP12 with a tortuous Holy Grail type search to get near enough to start seeing the value of having VP12 installed. It has been messy and at times a strain on many of the individuals involved – I kid you not!

B] The slippage of getting less with a later/newer Card is beyond me and most probably bit SCS too. John’s experience with the QUADRO also bears this out. However, and again, there are “fine” details of suitability of the FX-ing that need too to be taken into account too.

C] I try to make my living from doing video. That includes capturing and editing. I really don’t need to be futzing around this way when there should be a clarity from hardware to software warehouse, priory to release to customer.

I’m really tired with the subject. Not with you guys, nor your efforts to find a way through, it’s just such a waste of good creativity being poured on this barren road.
