[Todd Kopriva] “You can render a preview for any portion of a sequence. Just use the Render Entire Work Area command.”
When I place an HD clip in my SD timeline and apply no effects. I don’t get any colored line and therefore can’t get PR to render the work area when using that command. Agree on the short cuts for sure. Still running 10.6.6. We’ll have to find time to do the update and make sure all is still working afterwards. Right in the middle of some big jobs and we don’t usually like to make OS changes at times like that. 🙂

[Tom Daigon] “I found out that the latest Nvidia Quadro 4000 drivers and CUDA drivers need to be running on OSX 10.6.8. When I tried to install the drivers on 10.6.7 the software wouldnt let me do it. So you might be missing out on better performance by not having the latest drivers installed.Here is a link to the latest…”
We noticed that last night as well. We’ve been holding out on going to 10.6.8 due to other issues we’ve seen noted with that OS update. We generally are not early adopters of OS updates until they are thoroughly vetted by other users. 🙂 Especially if our machines are working fine the way they are. Can’t afford too much down time. But you’re right, we may need to look into that

Just installed our Quadro 4000 last night. Still running the demo of Premiere 5.5. Discs should be in the mail. Initial tests are great. Ultra Key and stuff. Getting GPU realtime action. Awesome!
However, when I put an HD clip into an SD timeline. I’ve tried ProRes, XDCAM and Uncompressed 8bit footage, and all I do is a simple 48% scale to edge crop the clip. I cannot get realtime performance at all. Should that scaling be CUDA accelerated? As soon as I put a crop filter on the clip and don’t actually crop the clip, I get a yellow bar and it works and I get CUDA realtime playback. One thing two, without that crop filter, I get no color bar and I can’t force a render of the clip because PR doesn’t see any filter that needs to be rendered. I’ve tried stacking two clips in a PNP effect and it works great, but as soon as one of the two clips runs out and goes away, the remaining clip cannot playback anymore…
Here’s my specs:
Mac 10.6.6
2×2.66 GHz-6-Core Intel Xeon
16GB Ram
Quadro 4000
Using AJA Kona 3 and plug-ins for SDI output
External SCSI 2.5TB drive array.Again, like I said still running the demo of 5.5 discs should be here soon. Is it a decode issue? Like I’ve said tried all kinds of different source clips. Any thoughts?

Additional notes. Running the NDD driver version 8.0 Kona drivers and I do have “computer monitor only” set in the AE Prefs!
