[CS6] Cuda and firewire output

There was problem in CS5 outputing video via firewire to DV/HDV deck when CUDA acceleration is enabled.
Has this been fixed in CS6?

That's cool. Thanks!

FCP Problem with Firewire output to external monitor and speaker ???Help

i have a g5 powermac. the problem is when using Final cut pro 4hd. when i output my work through firewire to my external monitor and speaker i have a problem with the audio signal. Theres feedback/noise/hiss from the speakers. The firewire connects to DSR-11 vtr deck which feeds my monitor and speakers. it only happens when in FCP is set to A/V firewire output. does not happen if Video output is not set to firewire.
I Diagnosis is that it is not my dsr-11 deck or firewire i've ruled those out. The problem is either FCP software or Hardware problem with my G5
Does anyone have a similar problem. please respone, i will try to answer any respones,
Thanks

From the firewire that feeds the dsr-11. on the output, i use s-video cable to my monitor (sony pvm-14l) and High Quality rca cables thet feed the audio to the Roland Speakers.
I've changed all wires and still have audio problem. I,ve changed my Dsr-11 deck to my camcorder and still have the problem.
If any of u guys use FCP The problem happens When I select view> external Monitor > and select firewire for Audio/ and video. I have never changed my editing habits, something just went wrong with the signal, I think its a Hardware problem with the firewire connection. I'm Going to have to bring this to a Apple Service Center In my local area one day.

Firewire Output for Video Preview Intermittent

I'm experiencing a frustrating problem with After Effects these days.
We're producing some video to be projected, so to see what the final output will really look like, I'm doing video previews using FireWire so output goes directly to the projector.
It's been working great up until yesterday. Was working fine until I had to restart my Mac. Upon reboot, my the projector no longer gets any video output.
I've tried restarting numerous times, checked all connections, etc. Got it working again after several restarts, but after switching over to Photoshop momentarily, the video output once again disappeared.
Any suggestions on how to regain consistent Firewire output for Video Previews?
My setup:
After Effects CS6
Mac Pro
OSX Version 10.7.5
Firewire Output of my Mac's monitor is going to the Firewire Input on my Sony Media Converter
RCA Video out (Composite video) going to the projector's video input.
After Effects Video Preview preferences:
Output Device: FireWire
Output Mode: Apple FireWire NTSC

Thanks for your reply, Rick.
I finally figured it out... I had a background application running called iCam that monitors my security cameras. I had forgotten that it uses Firewire and was intermittently hogging the resources. Once I quit that application, everything was good once again.
Thanks for taking the time to respond, much appreciated!

Firewire output of Hardware MPE - I give up

Ok... I'll forget about IEEE1394 output of hardware MPE.
I suspect it isn't likely to be resolved in CS.anything.
The technical challenge of routing a DV signal from the CPU/GPU
back through a firewire channel may be an insurmountable hurdle.
But it's really tough to let go of your pet peeve.
If nVidiAdobe were to develop a companion card to the primary GPU
that allowed realtime SDI and Component output of hardware MPE
to a broadcast monitor and/or deck, I would gladly buy one in a second...
regardless of cost.
Using third-party hardware and sequence presets, or employing the
suggested hinky workaround using a consumer grade monitor that
requires monthly attention to maintain its color calibration using
third-party hardware and software, or any other suggested approach
I have read here are IMHO, all flimsy second-tier dead ends.
Multiple monitors and/or Reference monitor in Premiere Pro
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/744683
With CS6 perched on the horizon, It seems Adobe is in the perfect position
to continue its inexorable march toward taking charge of the NLE market.
Most serious FCP editors are Ae users already. Give them a good taste
of expanded native file support along with Dynamic Linking and throw in
some new capabilities and reliability to Pr, and they will wonder why they
were doing things the hard way for so long.
Fellow pros used to snicker and roll their eyes at me when I said I was
using PPro2. But, when I mention CS5 they will always have a few
questions about how well things work... and the snicker is long gone.
However, I feel the lack of realtime uncompromised external monitoring
is an issue that must be natively resolved before Pr can take the lead.
Adobe and nVidia should find a way to work this out.
I think a rhetorical question can be found here somewhere.

You can easily output the program monitor of PPro through a 2nd (or 3rd?) video port. In the Playback options, you can select an additional monitor as the output for previews (same place where you would select DV output for previews). There is no extending of the PPro interface or other modification required other than to select the monitor in the Playback options.
When you hit play in PPro, it activates full screen playback on the monitor. Pause playback and it pauses on the monitor. If/when you ALT+TAB out of PPro to another application, the fullscreen goes away (and - for me - reveals my beautiful company logo on the desktop) but it comes right back as soon as you hit play.
It works on all timelines, no codecs or special setups needed.
I previously connected via a DVI > HDMI adapter cable, but now I use the HDMI out of the video card straight to the HDMI port of the external HDTV.
I'm sure this solution won't be satisfactory for everybody, but for me, it gives a very good representation of what my projects look like on the end users HDTV set. AND it's very easy to setup. AND it works with all sequence settings. AND it works with hardware MPE active. AND....well...guess that's about it.
Thanks for your input...
That is pretty much what I am doing (except I am using two video cards) but it is not accurate when you are using DV.
I need to output to an NTSC monitor not a progressive computer monitor. There is a big difference when viewing.

Firewire Output to DSR-11

This question will seem redundant, but I haven't found a question like it in the forum, nor a question that has been answered that comes close to it. I just switched to a Mac over a month ago. I installed a second internal drive for video capturing. I only have a DSR-11 deck hooked to the FW port in the back. I use DV tapes in/out to FCP 5.1; however, the problem is the output to the deck. When I print to tape or try to let the timeline play out to my BetaSP deck via the DSR I keep getting drop frames on the output, which prohibits me from being able to record to the BetaSP. Now, let me say this. I have used the manuals and this forum to trouble shoot this problem. I have tried all of the settings tweaks, and every configuration that I see someone else has posted. However, my setup is very simple. DV NTSC 48khz and Firewire. I don't mirror to the desktop, and I only use two tracks for video and 4 tracks of audio. Safe RT is checked, and I've tried lowering the playback settings until the quality was too poor to use. FCP reads my DSR-11 deck fine, and I don't have problems inputting video footage via the deck. I've tried both the front and back FW ports, and get the same results. There are no other FW devices attached. Please, someone help me out. Thanks.

Bogiesan,
To answer your question:
So you are using the DSR as the transcoder and taking the composite outs up to your Beta?
Yes, I am. That's exactly what I'm doing. I have to use Beta SP for the TV station.
And to address your last instructions. What I did before I came to this forum to make a post was to export the timeline to a Quicktime mov; which is what you're saying, and then I brought it back into the project. Closed the old sequence; started a new sequence, and dropped the new mov into the timeline. I believe this is what you're saying.? So, I tried that before I asked the question. I had already put the playback settings back to full because I felt like a mov file would work without any glitches, but I got the same problem.
Now, let me try to address Andy's questions because I can tell that he didn't read my post properly.
How much processor power do you have?
I have a quad. It says that in my profile. Quads have only one processor configuration.
How much RAM do you have? How much ram I have is irrelevant b/c I didn't say that my system was running slow, but I have 2 gigs.
These details should be listed in your profile settings, to give people here the information they need to help you.
You could also supply:
How much Hard Drive free space do you have?
(If it’s less than 15 to 20% on any HD, your system will work slowly). I have a 250 + 250.
Are ANY of your Media files on your System Drive?
(If they are, your system will work slowly).
I said that I installed a second hd to capture video in my original post, so as for you to not assume that I would put video files on my system drive.
And if I sound unappreciative I'm not, it's just that I had already wrote so much that it should have been clear that I wouldn't allow simple system settings to be the reason for me asking the question. I generally read all material and check forums before I ask any questions. Because I really do believe there are stupid questions if someone else has already asked and had his/her question answered.
So, does anyone have any idea on why I may still be getting dropped frames on output? Again, I've already tried exporting the sequence to a mov and re-importing it back into FCP to print to tape. And by the way, I have to add closed captions to my final tape. If I didn't have to do this I really would have a better work around, but b/c of this I have to pretty much do it this way. Right now, I don't have the funding to just go by a separate video card, so that suggestion will just be taken with a grain of salt. Thanks.

New MacbookPro with Nvidia Geforce GT 750M 2GB for Premiere and Aftereffects CS6, CC and CC14?

I have Premiere Pro and AE CS6.
My Mac got stolen, now i have to buy a new one.
I think about buying the new Macbook Pro Retina with Nvidia Geforce GT 750M 2GB Graphicscard.
I want hardware which works fine with both Premiere Pro, AE CS6 and the later versions! (Maybe i want to upgrade some time).
What is the best configuration on a MacBook Pro that i can work with CS6 and later versions as good as possible?
What is Mercury Playback Engine?
What's CUDA?
Can i use this GPU acceleration on the latest Macbook Pro with Nvidia GT 750M card in CS6, CC and CC14?
Thanks very much!
Greetings!

Considering the new 15"...( 13" is USELESS) ...Macbook Pro starts at over $2,500 with the necessary i7 CPU, ( forget i5).....you would be WAY better served to go with a powerful Windows gaming laptop for HALF that price from a company like Asus,or, others. If money is no object and you MUST go Apple, then, there are SOME pros and some cons.
1. Pro - has Thunderbolt, for hi-speed EXPENSIVE external storage, or, for Hi -res external monitor....however, MY 2 year old Asus laptop HAS a "thunderbolt" port , TOO...which I use to drive a hi-res monitor.
Con - though NVidia 750m 2GB GPU is adequate for much of the CUDA accelerated operations, newer Windows laptops have more advanced 800 and 900 series GPUs with far more video memory...for HALF the price !
2. Pro - PPro and AE runs best with Windows 8.1
Con - Mac operating system in the recent past has had issues and hiccups vs. Windows in running Premiere Pro....I'm not sure if all that has been fixed at this time.
3. Pro - newest mac book pro uses PCI SSD storage...amazing transfer speed of data !.....however, a 1TB flavor of this costs an additional $1,000
Con - not sure of the maximum amount of system memory that can be installed in MBOOK PRO..."Apple Chat" guy says 16GB.....you need at least 24 GB...better to have 32 GB for best operation. Also, some Windows gaming laptops offer internal RAID options for high speed storage ,or, at least two internal HDD bays for SSDs.
In addition : The "Mercury Playback Engine" is a feature of Premiere pro which allows for the "acceleration" of certain effects and operations on the timeline...in many cases eliminating the the need to "render previews" to see what you are doing. When coupled with a capable NVidia GPU, this acceleration can produce a TEN TIMES IMPROVEMENT in processing the effects,or, operations, ( like "scaling" and resolution conversions ) using the NVidia ONLY CUDA technology.
In summary, the 16GB memory limit , the lower level NVidia mobile GPU, and EXCRUCIATING HIGH PRICE all tip the scales for me to say : NOOOOOO !!!!!......DON'T DO IT !!!
IF a laptop is a MUST.....go with a Windows gaming rig and READ as much as you can first. If a desktop is a possible solution, you can get WAY better performance than a laptop...especially with today's Haswell E CPUs and the X99 motherboards.
I would wait a little bit for all the machines to hit the market which have the NEW " NVMe" PCI SSDs in them, or, build your own on a motherboard which will NATIVELY have that feature.
Good Luck !

Firewire Output.....

I'm using Garage Band on a brand new iMac 21.5"... my first Mac actually.
I'm using a Mackie 1640i to record church worship and not having any issues there, my question is this:
The console allows me to feed it 16 channels of audio via Firewire to the individual channels on the console. Is there a way in Garageband to assign each channel an individual firewire output channel?

Well, the idea would be to use the analog side of the console for the final mix, as well as having a pretty unique teaching tool for up and coming sound personnel.

Firewire output volume to Onyx board

I can't find a way to reduce the Macbook firewire output to the input on my Mackie. Neither device seems to have an adjustment and the firewire output is ten times hotter than the analogue inputs on the board.
Other than turning down the volume in each individual app, any ideas?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
Sometimes the volume setting gets jumbled, and resetting the PRAM will fix it. Follow these steps:
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.

Can I convert a camera Firewire output to a USB input on a laptop without buying a Canopus box?

Can I convert a camera Firewire output connector to a USB input on a laptop without having to buy a Canopus box or other expensive piece of equipment?

Unfortunately, no. Firewire and USB are two entirely different methods of transfering data. There's no simple/cheap converter out there. You will have to look into either purchasing a canopus device or get a computer which will support a firewire or video input.
Thank you,

Xbox digital audio input and then output through MacBook digital audio port

Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked before but I'm trying to output a Dolby Digital (I think AC3) signal from my Xbox 360 into the MacBook's digital audio input and then output it through the digital audio output. I can output 5.1 sound from the MacBook itself but I can't get the Xbox audio to pass through. I don't know if the audio is at a sample rate not supported or needs decoding or what!
Any help would be appreciated!

If that doesn't work, I'm not quite sure.
A combination of the Audio MIDI Utility (in Applications/Utilities), SoundSource, LineIn, and Soundflower (http://cycling74.com/products/soundflower/) might work, otherwise I'm stumped. Your best bet is probably a dedicated external USB or FireWire audio interface.

CS6 Illustrator and InDesign colours are changed when the PDF is saved.

CS6 Illustrator and InDesign colours are changing when the saved PDFs are displayed on some different computers and for digital print output. I have ensured that the colours are all CMYK and tried different adjustments like preserving the numbers and the like but nothing is working. It prints properly on my inkjet and has displayed properly on different computers.

You need to read up on color management, color profiles and all that....

For SD camcorder are miniDV tape and Firewire bad choices?

I just purchased a camcorder (Panasonic SDR_H40) which appears incompatible with iMovie HD 6, so I am going to return it. I currently have iMovie HD 6.0.3 and will probably stay with that version (based on some discussions on this site). I was going to buy a miniDV tape camcorder but they seem hard to find and the salesman said that this format was becoming obsolete. Also other discussions on this site suggest that Apple may be phasing out Firewire. Assuming that I can find a SD miniDV camcorder, presumably with a Firewire output, is this a bad choice for a camcorder? I'd appreciate any help.
Tricia

for 'Standard' (=not HiDef) video, miniDv is still an excellent choice:
° less compression => excellent pic quality
° no limitation in 'disk space' => insert new tape = another 13GB/60min recording time..
° easy/convenient long term storage of 'raw data' => keep the tapes
° 100% compatible with iMovie 6 and other versions..
prob here: actual consumer MacBooks lack a fw-port => miniDV import is via fw only.
your options: use your 'old' Mac; use a MacMini; use a MacPro ...
nobody can tell you about 'phasing' of fw on Macs .. +'we don't comment on future products'+ ..

HDV via FireWire output not available

After editing an HDV50i project in a HDV50i timeline I would like to print it to video. Under "View -> Video Playback" all the HDV options are gray! I cannot select them. Consequently I cannot play the video through the FireWire output. In "Easy Setup" all possible codecs are there and I can choose them (DV, HDV, ProRes, DVCPro etc.etc.). When I startup FCP my Sony Z7 is already attached via FireWire. What's going wrong?

You can't play back HDV through FireWire. The video stream has to be conformed because of the MPEG-2 format. You can print to video. To see your output on a monitor you'd need to get a Matrox MXO2 box.

20" Cinema display with USB and firewire ports not working

I have a new 20" display and was wondering why my USB and fire wire ports at the back are not working. I have an external drive that is powered hooked up to the fire wire port and a no powered piano keyboard to a usb port.
Any help please

Verify that the display’s USB and FireWire cables are firmly plugged in to the
computer. Do they show in your profiler?
Try different ports in the computer.
Verify that your computer ports are working with other known problem free device.

Sharpener Pro 3 has problems in Aperture as the Pre sharpener continually asks one to buy or activate and the Output Sharpener causes Aperture to hang. Have removed all duplicate fonts and tried using a new user account. Any ideas?

I am experiencing problems with Sharpener Pro 3 as an Aperture 3 plug-in. These are: the Pre sharpener continually asks one to buy or activate and the Output Sharpener causes Aperture to hang. Following discussions with Nik Software I have removed all duplicate fonts and tried using a new user account. Neither of the courses of action worked. Have other users experienced these difficulties? Can you suggest an alternative remedy?
