Never mind about changing the bus version. I looked and it’s not possible on the PCI-E x16 slot, just the other slots but that would mean I wouldn’t get the full performance of the card if I moved it.

I can set the PCI-E version in my BIOS so tonight I’ll do another render test with PCI-E 1 and 2 and post a second set of results for both.

[Michael Stephens]

New rig. New results.

System specs:
Intel i7-5820K (6 core) 3.30Ghz
32G DDR4-2400 (15-15-15-35)
GeForce GTX Titan

Render time: 3 minutes and 21 seconds

This shaves 1 minute and 12 seconds off my old rig with the same video card.

[Michael Stephens]

Correct. Load the file, make sure you have the comp set to Ray-Traced 3D, then send the comp to the render queue.

I got a slight boost with the 12.1 AE update.

My system is
AMD Phenom X4 9750
8G PC2-6400 (400Mhz) (5-5-5-18)
Windows 7 64-bit Professional SP1
GeForce GTX Titan

I went from 4 minutes & 33 seconds down to 4 minutes & 12 seconds.

GeForce 560 Ti: 11 minutes & 27 seconds

GeForce GTX Titan: 4 minutes & 33 seconds.

MOBO only has a PCI-E 1.1 slot so performance should be even better on a PCI-E 2 and 3 slot.

This is a constant problem with Encore and Premiere for me. I’ve found that even after closing both applications that there is still a file running in my processes that still has a hold on the files I want to delete. In some cases I’m attempting to make an edit in an audio file and re-save it again but it occasionally won’t let me.

The only reliable way I’ve found to get this to stop is to either close out the application and hope that it releases the file or in some cases I have to reboot the computer so Windows will flush out the application that’s still running.

Is the jagged edge just in InDesign or in the final output?

[Michael Stephens]

You should set your image so it’s at least the same width as the video size you’re working with. If you’re working with SD footage then you’ll want the image to be a maximum width of 720 non-square pixels. If you’re working with HD footage then you’ll want a maximum width of 1080 non-square pixels. If you want the image to be completely in frame without the black bars at the top and bottom then you’ll want to set your height to the same height as your video.

Video presets use non-square pixels which is why you’re seeing the image stretched after you save it. When you create a new document using a video preset it automatically uses Pixel Aspect Ratio Correction so what you see on screen is how it would look if the pixels were square. You can turn the correction on and off under the view menu.

You can also change the pixel aspect ratio of those files, and any other files, by selecting View > Pixel Aspect Ratio and then selecting one of the aspect ratios in the list. Square Pixels is what you use for anything other than video.

Is there a reason why you’re selecting one of the video presets? If you’re not going to be using the images in a video file there isn’t a reason to use the video presets.
