Color with NO recommended video card?

The recommended video card is no longer an option. The minimum card would be the nvidia 8800. This card doesn't support rendering in 10 12 or 16bit only 8 and 32 as far as I know. Does anyone know this to be different? Yes it does matter. render times and such with no render farm blow in 32bit and 8 bit is just not enough color depth to prevent banding.

I have an iMac 20" dual 2.4Ghz with ATI Radeon HD 2600 (if it's what you're talking about) and Color works flawlessly(much faster than the original 25fps) with all the bit depths supported(8, 12, 16, float).
This does not tell anything when you are not telling what kind of footage (resolution, fps) you are using.
Color's limiting factor is GPU's power to handle pixels per second (resolution x fps), when you are not choking hdd pipes.

    Your video card driver may be fine for something, but just not compatible with Premiere Elements 13/13.1.
    For those with the display card error, the answers include
    a. assure your video card/graphics card driver version is up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card -
    if necessary consider a driver roll back.
    b. determine in Device Manager/Display Adapters if the computer is using 2 cards instead of 1
    c. delete the BadDrivers.txt file
    the rationale for that deletion is found in post 10 of the following older post...principle applies to 13 as well as 9.
    Re: Premiere Elements 9 Tryout Serious Display Problem
    Have you looked for computer ATI card settings that might be more compatible with Premiere Elements 13/13.1?
    When is the program crashing - just opening a new project or rather crashing if editing a particular video format at the Timeline level?

  • Recommended video cards

    Hello,
    What video cards are recommended for Encore 2? All that is mentioned on the system requirements page is "1,280x1,024 32-bit color video display adapter."
    We're considering the Matrox Parhelia for dual monitor display + NTSC preview capability. Can anyone please confirm that this is a suitable card or provide other suggestions? Thanks!

    Why not use a Gamers Card? I have the Leadtek 7800 GT Extreme 256Mb PCI-X card and I love it. I do play on First Person Shooter Game at times so thats why I decided on that card. Can anyone please give me some insight as to what part the video card plays and why not use a game card. I do have the Matrox RT.X100 Xtreme Pro card that I use for capture. I am also running the Intel Pentium 840D Extreme Edition Processor with 2 GB of Corsaire XMS DDR2 PC 6400 Pro Matched pair Memory Modules. I have no performance Issues at all but I still wonder what the advantage of a Parhelia card.

  • CS6 recommended video cards?

    Building a Photoshop machine.
    Been referencing numerous websites droning on and on about CS6's new performance improvements.
    Still hazy on which video cards, or perhaps which features, of video cards, ought to be included on the card to go in the new machine.
    Planning to spend 200-$300.
    Any advice here?

    It seems it's NEVER possible to just say "get this model" because all of them have strengths and weaknesses.
    I develop GPU-enhanced software (not Photoshop, but plug-ins for Photoshop).  My experience has been that ATI's driver quality is higher than that of nVidia.  I have to code more exceptions in my software for both nVidia and Intel than ATI models.
    That said, of course "past results are no guarantee of future performance", and ATI seems to have been stumbling lately with their last few driver releases.  Catalyst 12.2 (from this past March) seems to be the golden version to get.
    If I were put on the spot to recommend a video card right now at the moment, I'd probably suggest the VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 7750 model.  I have been using exclusively VisionTek brand cards myself and I've had ZERO problems with them.  I don't personally have the model I mentioned (I have a 5670 in my main Photoshop workstation now myself, though I'm tempted by the new 7000 series), but I know someone who does.  Keep in mind video cards have different power supply demands; the card I mentioned is a low current-draw model (the 7750 doesn't even require a separate power supply connector), and low current models are quieter and don't make as much heat.

  • Broken & Frozen Images with Radeon 7000 Video Card

    I recently purchased a used ATI Radeon 7000 64 MB AGP video card in order to upgrade my Power Mac G4 Sawtooth. This is the Mac Edition card, not a reflashed PC card. I followed the seller's instructions to download and install the drivers and the ATI display panel. I shut down the computer, removed its Rage 128 Pro card and installed the Radeon 7000.
    I turned the computer back on, it booted up okay and displayed the desktop and apps just fine. The problem came when I tried to play video -- I inserted a DVD as a test. The OS opened DVD Player and started the movie, but the screen broke up into patches of pixels and froze up. I couldn't escape or force quit; I had to turn the computer off.
    This also happens when I bring the computer up from sleep mode. The screen breaks up into the colorful pixel patches and freezes up.
    Additional info: computer running OS X 10.4.11. Sonnet 1 gHz processor, upgraded 1.25 gb memory. Computer monitor is an acrylic 23" Cinema Display, attached to the DVI port on the Radeon 7000 using Apple's ADC to DVI adapter.
    Anyone have any advice on how to fix this?

    Hello,
    according to his other posts, he removed the card from another V240. Therefore this might be a Sun XVR-100.
    The minimum OS is Solaris 8 plus the XVR-100 Installation CD.
    The Installation Guide and - CD is included with every card. Either locate these items or login to SunSolve (or use docs.sun.com as suggested by rukbat) and download the Installation Guide.
    You won't get any output on the monitor during power-on without a attached keyboard. The card requires the installed drivers to work in a graphical session.
    Just to say it didn't work is way too less information. Please take the time to describe a problem more detailed in future posts.

  • How to synchronize colors with two different video cameras

    I own Sony FX1 and HC9 video cameras. The color between the two video cameras can be pretty noticeable, and I tend to flip between the two cameras a lot during editing. Ideally I would get them to match up better before I start filming, but despite my attempts, I still can see a noticeable difference between them in post-production. I know I can use the color corrector filter to adjust the colors, but is there a more effective way to adjust the colors of the two video so they match better? I have used that eyedropper on the "visual" screen of the color corrector to adjust the white balance. Is there something similar where I could for example click the eyedropper on the blue of one video and it would change the blue of the video from the second camera to match?

    You don't really have the controls for that in FCE. You can't fine tune the color with real precision for color matching in FCE. There is a match hue function with the eyedropper, but without separate shadows, mids, and highlight color controls there is only so much you can do.

  • Photoshop CS4 Issue with NVIDIA 8800 Video Card?

    I have an Mac Pro Intel 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Xeon with 6GB RAM running OS X 10.5.5 and an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT driving two monitors.
    I just installed Adobe Photoshop CS4 fresh from a factory CD.
    When I perform a Distort -> Lens Correction or do a Free Transform to rotate an image an arbitrary amount, and then follow that with a resize (tried 133% and 166%), the image ends up with a pattern of gray plaid overlaid -- especially visible in the darkest shadows. The pattern appears only on the rotated layers of an image.
    This pattern persists if I quit and restart Photoshop, BUT -- there's no pattern visible if I open the same image in Photoshop CS3. It only appears in CS4.
    This is easy to reproduce -- I just tried it with an image I created in Photoshop at 5x7" at 240dpi and filled with solid black.
    I dropped a Bug Report to Adobe, and they wrote back suggesting "This is most likely an issue with your video card driver."
    Anybody else out there having this issue? Anyone with an identical setup want to test this?

  • Trying to install Bootcamp 4 with non Apple video Card

    Hi folks
    So I had to buy a new video card (ATI HD 5850 1 GB DDR5) but of course, I lost acces to the boot screen, so I'm wondering how to install Bootcamp, since I don't have acces to the boot screen. In some point of the Bootcamp installation, the Mac re-boots but it freezes or something like that, so I have to turn it off.
    For the other hand, I have the original nVidia 8800 GT which came with the Mac Pro, but's fried and it only works on safe mode. So I'm wondering if it's possible to install Bootcamp by using the 8800 GT in safe mode.
    After failing on the Bootcamp installation, I have seen that the OSX already created a Bootcamp partition but in FAT 32 and we know it's neede din NTFS or such. So I was wondering if there is a way to sort this out somehow.
    I also have another Bootcamp with Win7 in other hard disk, but quite small, so now I have an empty disk of 300GB, I would like to put all the windows stuff there.
    So:
    1. It seems I cannot use the new video card because of the boot.
    2. It seems I cannot use the old video card because it's fried.
    3. The Bootcamp partition is already there but in FAT 32.
    Any ideas?
    Meanwhile, I'm going to try some kind of "ideas".
    Thanks in advance!
    Ø3

    Then I google it and I found my thread... Mmmhhh... :/ Anyway, somehow, when Mac boots in order to perform the Win7 installation, after the Apple' chime, a BIG and BLACK pixellated apple apears on a super white background. While it stays, the disk is scratching the surface, then appears an icon of a Folder with an ? on it, The again, the big apple and the scratch, then a Ø symbol ^^ and again, the  with the scratching sound and loops all the time there... I think it's because the non apple video card. But how can be possible... Installation is just, you know, a pair of graphics going there, not OpenGL stuff! xD

  • Having problems with RT and video card?

    I have just upgraded to FCP 5 Studio. I found that my video card was not able to handle the RT Extreme, so I upgraded to a recommended ATI 9600 64 mb video card. However I still do not get any video that plays in the viewer windows. I only get a pixelated screen of the menu bar. I am running two monitors. The second monitor is only 32 mb,but I only use it for the menus part of the program. Do both video cards need to have enough memory to run the video RT? If so, can I unplug the monitor that does not have enough memory and run the program properly? Can I turn off the RT feature? Thanks for your help.

    This is the Final Cut Express forum. You should post your question in the Final Cut Pro forum and/or the PowerMac forum.
    wrt RT settings in FCE, you can adjust them in FCE System Settings > Playback Control

  • Recommended Video Card

    I just installed FCE and read somewhere that having a good video card was very important. I have a G5 with a NVIDIA GeForce 6600LE with 128 MB VRAM. Will this card do the job or should I upgrade to something else?

    I may be wrong (I often am!), but I thought the video card only affected the appearance of playback on the monitor and not the final output quality.
    As you have FCE already installed, try it out and see.

  • Issue with users accessing video card and /dev/nvram

    Hello,
    I have Lenovo x60s and i can't access with normal user (group users) the file
    /dev/nvram
    ever I restart de computer have execute "chmod 777 /dev/nvram" for fallowing access for users
    and with users i can't use video i810 alone use vesa
    with root i can use driver i810 on xorg, why??
    I don't understand?!?!?!

    The problem with my video is with root i can play games 3D, with users i can't, my config video card on xorg:
    Section "Device"
    ### Available Driver options are:-
    ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False",
    ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz"
    ### [arg]: arg optional
    #Option "ShadowFB" # [<bool>]
    #Option "DefaultRefresh" # [<bool>]
    #Option "ModeSetClearScreen" # [<bool>]
    Identifier "Card0"
    Driver "vesa" ---->> Now I write "VESA", while I write i810 i can't execute "startx" with normal user
    VendorName "Intel Corporation"
    BoardName "Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller"
    BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
    EndSection
    the /dev/nvram is device when i use especial keys of keyboard on my notebook,
    ever restart my pc the permissions change, I have execute "chmod 777 /dev/nvram" else i can't use with normal user.
    i think the udev always create this device on start and always create with the permission alone read and write for root, but I just find that the group is kmen and I add my user in the group.
    I restart system and verify the result.

  • 3D Rendering with an old video card

    I am using an old video card (A Nvidia Geforce FX 5200 Ultra) and I get the wonderful message stating that my card does not support hardware acceleration. I came across an older post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2462645 and it mentioned the GPU Registry hack. I downloaded it and going to try it but a few questions first.
    I am running CS 5.1 will that work for CS5 even though it says it is for CS 4.
    Once I download and unzip it how do I install it?  Double click and let it make the changes or what steps should I take?
    (The technical documentaion for the plugins links or a missing page.)
    Thanks for any and all help!

    How much ram does your card have?
    If it has less than 256 then it probably won't run open gl even with that
    Use GPU registry key which is really only for testing or diagnostics and not meant
    for a pernament fix.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404898.html
    If your card has at least 256 ram then really the only thing to try is updating the card driver
    (download from nvida, not thru windows updates).
