Hi Dan

Did you tell Premiere to use your preview files on export? (a check box at the bottom of the export dialogue).

This looks like the CUDA issues discussed in this thread – https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/3/935493. People are actually defending Adobe over these kinds of issues.

I’m at home so I cant test this, but I suggest you turn off GPU rendering for the Mercury engine and retry.

Hi Ryan

So instead of Adobe taking responsibility for faults in their software,
it’s my responsibility to change vendors.

BTW – Symphony and MC are virtually the same thing, Vegas is a toy, FCPX was so good Apple had to put FCP7 back on sale, Smoke is only turnkey on PC. So by my count that’s about 2 or 3 competitors, not a big choice in this category.

So the exported file views correctly but the sequence playback does not. You say this is not serious? Maybe to someone who edits wedding videos but not to those of us engaged in TV production and commercials.

I’m sorry Angelo, but you sound like the typical beta tester Adobe likes to listen to, rather than professional post operators.

The dissolve issue is know to all third party hardware vendors and affects all their products. It’s a flaw in the SDK. How are you connecting scopes, via SDI out of a card or Premiere’s scopes?

I’m not posting to win fans.
Sensible people would not expect a bug like this to remain through the last 3 versions of the software.
No point submitting the bug, I have done it 10 times!!!.
I have argued with the Product Manager about it.
I can’t say more about it due to NDA.

I’m not being paid to write bugs or test them. I paid for something that has ‘Pro’ on it, so I don’t have to test for them or be happy when I encounter bugs. I tested for them for 6 years and have given up.

Placing a title over vision is not the realm of a compositor and it’s something every other competitive app can do faithfully. Yes it’s a visual issue, I cant see what I’m going to get.

Trust me the dissolve issue is there. I can not say more about who has confirmed it.

I think you need to edit with a few clients sitting next to you. You’ll soon notice how serious these issues become.

Hi Ron

[Ron} Sure! It’s so obvious that you’ll kick yourself for not seeing it. In one word, “VTRs.”

Actually I would have said greed (VTR is three words).

[Ron] NLE Manufacturers will just have to keep scrambling to accomodate to the world they are given.

This is not good enough. My question still stands, why are Sony and Pana dictating the terms of reference?

[Ron] Pany and Sony are in the same boat of protecting their place and profits

Again greed is the answer. The PC industry is less proprietary than video, at least I can copy files from a Mac to a PC and play them back.

Ron the gist of what I am saying is why are Sony and Pana dictating what the industry will do? Every new generation of camera they bring out isn’t even backwards compatible with their previous product range.

If I buy a film camera, I can buy and use stock from a number of vendors and they all work. Even the film digital formats are compatible, they have a standard that is not dictated by 1 or 2 vendors.

Actually I am doing Sony and Pana favour. This path they are on will probably be self-destructive anyway. When you sit back and watch them, you get a strong sense of the motivation being self preservation rather than providing their customers with great products.

Thanks

Paul

Hi Craig

It’s actually cheaper to have Sony and Pana conform to a standard that everyone can adhere to.

As my example stated, imagine if the PC industry worked this way, it would be unworkable. That’s getting to where we are in the production industry.

Thanks

Confirmed here in PAL also. This is really poor quality for a release driver.

Low quality in the VGA program monitor.
Video image flipping during transitions.

Not a good impression.

Hi Francis

Apparently not when it converter mode.

I am just firing mine up in capture mode (PCIe connection) because I have been advised that it will work this way. I am hoping it will still behaive as a bidirectional converter this way.

Will let you know.

Thanks

Hi Francis

I have the same setup as you and I have found the same problem. However it looks like it’s on the Multibridge side because my Loewe LCD is reporting that the Multibridge is sending out 1440 x 576 when PAL in input into it.

I also found that there is no S-video IO from the stand alone converter as advertised on the website which I am a bit pissed about. It’s very wrong to abvertise a feature and then not deliver it.

I am going to test it in Decklink mode and see if it’s still bidirectional.
