CUDA Acceleration and Scaling

I am running Premiere Pro CC on a Windows 7 core i5 with 16 gigs of ram.
I frequently need to produce both a Blu ray disk as well as a standard DVD. I am getting good results exporting as a mpeg 2 DVD and importing that into Encore as a timeline.
That export usually takes anywhere from 12-16 HOURS for a 2 hour sequence. I have a Nvidia GeForce GT230 card now which is not taking advantage of mercury playback.
Does anybody know if upgrading to a "supported" nvidia card would make any difference in these LONG render times?
I was considering something like a GeForce 600 or better or possibly a Quadro, probably with 2 gigs...
I have installed the 2014 Versions of both Premiere CC as well as AME but have not used them yet as I'm in the middle of a job.
Any insights out there would be appreciated

Thanks Bill,
Yeah it's an HP 2009 computer with 4 cores, I see I can upgrade the CPU to a Intel Core i7-870 Processor 2.93 GHz 8 MB Cache Socket LGA1156 for about 250, and then the Ge Force for another 350..
Looks like I might be almost half way to a new computer...
I'm just on the fence as to whether the extra cost will be worth it in terms of render times...
THANKS AGAIN!

CUDA acceleration and Aja Kona LHi output on Mac

Hi, I hope some of you can answer my question. I'm getting mixed information right now. So can I have CUDA acceleration turned on when outputtin picture through Aja Kona Lhi? Or is it so that CUDA and I/O devices such as Blackmagic/Aja cards don't work together? Best Tapio

Those Mac Pro's should be fine with the Nvidia cards. The new ones are not approved with them and are not supported according to Apple. It took Blackmagic several months to get the driver worked out to allow the MPE in a Blackmagic project so I am not suprised if AJA is still working on it. I will say that we have not tried the MPE with the Blackmagic on the Mac side. We have many times on the PC side and it works fine as does Matrox.

AME & CUDA ACCELERATION

HI,
it's appears AME can't use cuda acceleration when we export video. I mean you need to export from premiere directly without a way to add severals queued files in AME... "what is power without control ?"
Is there a SDK possibility to resolve this ?
Thanks,
Rud.

Ok thanks Jim, Steve and colin for your answers.
I have now better view of hardware GPU acceleration after your researchs.
Much of the time (differents video format) i noticed GPU are more used when you export directly from premiere and sometime hardware doesn't help rendering when it is used in render queue.
For the moment i have a hack GTX280 on workstation, but i would test gpu acceleration on GTX480M (clevo x7200) to see if it's better to work with nvidia hardware than matrox MXO2 for exemple.
Do you know if nvidia SLI work with cuda acceleration and premiere ?
Thanks again.
Rud.

Today I stupidly tried to install CUDA accelerator forgetting I have Intel/AMD combo graphics card and not NVidia. Now when I try to launch AE or PremierePro I get this Last log message was: 140735120521568 GPUManager 2 Sniffer Result Code: 3 Help

Now when I try to launch AE or PremierePro I get this Last log message was: <140735120521568> <GPUManager> <2> Sniffer Result Code: 3. I have trashed the CUDA program and reinstalled Premiere and AE but no joy. Same message followed by another error box with options to Retry, Send to Apple or ignore. I have tried all 3 options but nothing works! Every time I launch either program same message appears.

Now all good.
Good luck!

CS5: CUDA, CPU and other hardware questions

CS5 can gain much speed with CUDA technology by Nvidia; I assume everybody who researched a bit knows this.
However, I like very exact information to get the best decision for a new investment.
I need to get two identical new CS5 systems, that are much faster and not as buggy as my last CS4 system.
I have about 30.000 euro for 2 machines.
Our studio demands SDI connections, so I got a Matrox Axio.
Currently my system has lots of problems with Premiere and After Effects:
- Field swaps
- Inconsistent effect parameters
- Very slow rendering
- Very slow app startups
- Multi task slowdowns
- Crashes of apps
- Very slow interface operations
1. Does CS5 only use the CUDA of supported CUDA Cards?
2. Does SLI or multi graphic card tech, help CS5 speed at all?
3. Is it useful to get a Tesla next to a Quadro 5800 or is it not seen by CS5?
4. What Intel processor is best suited for After Effects rendering: iX or Xeon architecture?
5. Does Adobe really use only 3 Gb per core, meaning you should not buy more than 3Gb per CPU core? Or is it per THREAD and should I get more RAM?
6. Speed or number: Is it better to focus on very high total core speed, or to optimal RAM distribution by getting as many cores as possible?
7. Can a Matrox MXO2 Rack unit, cooperate with the Nvidia CUDA power or could both accelerations/technologies hinder eachother?
8. Is it best to get Nvidia SDI connectivity or is there a save alternative?
9. Can iX CPU's be dual or is that a Xeon option only?
10. What is the fastest 6 core Xeon that can be dual?
11. Does CS5 need a good scratch disk: is it wise to get a SSD just for scratch or is it overkill?
12. Some say the Nvidia 5800 is not the fastest card around; it has 240 cuda cores and some gtx cards have far more than that. What is the story?
I probably forgot about 324 other questions, but for now these will do.
If any of you can give objective and confirmed information, please do!

"I have about 30.000 euro for 2 machines." That's about $38,772.00 USD!! Oh what I could build with that money! I.M.O, I would seriously look for a way around using Matrox video products. We began using the Matrox RT.X100 back in 2003 with Premiere 6.5. On a good day, we could edit all day with only one crash. The RT.X100 introduced serious problems to our workflow like corrupted project files and timelines that would export finished "show master" videos that contained errors like areas that freeze frame for 10 seconds.
Here is a link in the Adobe Hardware Forum to the two systems I recently built for the company I work for. Both systems cost roughly the equivalent of 2,725 EUR. That's not each, but for both systems:
Our Two Rock-Solid Editing Systems
The X-58 motherboards will accept the new 6 core intel i7 980x processors, you could go with 4GB sticks of RAM for a total per system of 24 and pop in a couple of Nvidia 285 GTX's for MPE acceleration. You should go with Harm's recommendation for Raid setup. For input and output connections, I'm thinking that someone makes a non-invasive solution. Take a look at products like the DeckLink HD Extreme 3D. I really don't know if this product is compatible with CS5 and the Mercury Playback Engine. I would do a little research on that.

Problem getting cuda acceleration to work on new laptop

just got a brand new clevo p170em. has the built in intel hd graphics and a nvidia 675m in it. cant get the premiere pro cs6 cuda hack to work. pretty much staying in software only mode. been told there's possibly a problem with the intel optimus technology and cuda acceleration not working correctly on laptops. anyone have any ideas on how to make this work? TIA
edit** though i have Geforce GTX 675M in my cuda txt file...gpusniffer is giving the error that the card doesnt match anything in the list

The Intel driver has to be installed first and you need the driver from Clevo's website.
http://www.clevo.com.tw/en/e-services/download/ftpout_download.asp?sno=5111&no=1
The Nvidia driver that was working last I checked on that unit is also from Clevo's website and needs to be installed after the Intel.

Pre Pro CC 2014 Cuda acceleration issue - it's back

Greetings. I remember reading an Adobe creative cloud blog that said we now would be able to choose Cuda acceleration even if our card was not on the very SHORT approved list of NVIDIA cards. That was great!!! Worked fine with Pr Pro CC (the original) and all updates!
Now Pr Pro CC2014 (or 8.0 or whatever we are calling it) comes along. And after starting up (and having to re-set all of my preferences, etc.....why can't these be imported like photoshop does?) Anyway....getting ready to edit and bam. Software-only acceleration is selected, grayed out and no choice. Now this worked just fine with Creative cloud. In fact, opening up CC projects that WERE hardware accelerated now say they are not in CC2014. This is a non-starter for me.
I have seen complaints but no real solutions or explanations from Adobe. Are we back to CS6 days of editing a text file etc?
Very frustrating....going back to old cloud version for my work today..
O yes, running a GTX560. Which again worked fine with CS6, and CC 7.0.
Thanks,

Hi,
I mentioned in a thread today that we are seeing some anomalies from GTX NVIDIA GPUs. Please file a bug report: http://adobe.ly/ReportBug with complete details so we can try to reproduce your issue.
Also, see if you are running Premiere Pro CC 2014.1 (8.1)
Thanks,
Kevin
Thanks for getting back to me.
Sigh.....I didn't realize I was one patch behind. Updated and it now says I have to update my video card drivers to get accelerated GPU. I'll do that and check back....... It's just I was starting to trust the CC patches, installing them more often then I ever would have before. But if a patch can cause a major interruption to workflow, can't really do that. Or, perhaps as a suggestion, the patch instructions should say something like "CC2014 will require a more current driver to continue using GPU acceleration"?
I'll post back after I update drivers and try acceleration again.
Thanks again,

240 Gt with Cuda enabled and I can't get AME (6.0.1) to encode the file

I have 240 Gt with Cuda enabled and I can't get AME (6.0.1) to encode the file, when I switch to software only it will encode. Any help on how to get to encode in Cuda mode?

That is not a card that any Adobe software will use for CUDA acceleration.

Images and XML forms and Images and scaling

Hello,
I have two questions about using images in XML forms.
1) How do I insert images into the XML form editor.
The thread HTML Editor in XML Form? (Posted: Aug 26, 2004 7:50 PM), discuss how the HTML Editor in XML forms can be extended to be able to insert images like in the KM editor.
Has anyone any practical experience with this?, as the thread is fairly old.
And is there other solutions which are more suited?
The portal is running on WAS 6.40, EP 6.0 SP11
2) Is is possible for the portal to scale images
In the portal, different users will use XML forms to publish news stories. These users will want to publish images along with the text.
In many content management systems, the system will automatically scale the images (e.g. create one thumbnail, a mid-size image and keep the full size) Can this be achieved in the portal.
The reason for this is to make sure that no one can post a very large image and to make sure each image is the same size.
I'm interested in hearing how other people, solve the issue with uploading and scaling of images used in the portal.
Kind regard,
Jørgen Ruud
Will reward SDN points.

Hi Sumit,
Just to add to what Duncan had said ... please ensure the following things as well
1. Access portal using FQDN
2. Maintain proper browser settings http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/EP/MSIE6BrowserSettingsforaccessingSAP+Portals
3. Please go through the forum link http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1814082

RDP resolution and scaling level issues between two Win8.1 systems

I'm trying to follow along with this blog post that describes RDB 8.1 resolution and scaling level updates:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2013/12/16/resolution-and-scaling-level-updates-in-rdp-8-1.aspx
I'm connecting from one Win8.1 Pro system to another and the scaling level control on the Display control panel, I'm getting an error message that says "The
display settings can't be changed from a remote session". Both copies of Win8.1 are Pro editions and have had all updates installed.
Shouldn't my install mean I've got RDB 8.1 with the latest video drivers and that I should
be able to make these changes? Thanks.

Hi Chris,
To verify, if you open a dialog on the remote system, for example, System Properties, and open the same locally and place them side by side, are they the same size, fonts, etc?
I need to do some testing to verify that auto scaling is not limited to Enterprise SKU. If we do not get it solved in the next day or so then I may want you to do a screen share and show me what is happening so that I can investigate further.

Problems with filesize after exporting and scaling photos

I gave digital photo frames as Christmas gifts and wanted to load them up with many years worth of family photos, so I exported hundreds of photos from iPhoto and scaled them down to roughly 400 by 300 pixels to be used in the low resolution digital photo frames. The files vary in size from 40K to 100K.
The entire folder of over nearly 1,000 photos is only 86.2 megabytes in size.
However, when I went to copy the photos onto a new 512 megabyte SD card, only a couple dozen photos would transfer before I would get an error message saying there was no room left on the card. The finder would show over 400 megabytes available, but if I tried to drag even one more 40K photo on, I would get the same out-of-room error message.
I tried reformatting the card several times and several ways (including disk utility), but same problem. So I tried different SD cards, but same result. I tried CF cards, but same result. I tried different card readers, tried dragging the photos over one at a time, tried copying them with PhotoMechanic, tried doing it all from a different Mac, but always the same result.
It seems like there must be some hidden files being copied along with the photos that are taking up that extra space on the card. Never had anything like this happen before. It only affects these files that were exported through iPhoto 6.0.5 and scaled to a smaller file size. So I'm sure the problem must be there.
Has anyone had anything like this happen before? The organization and editing of all these photos took many hours so I would love to find a solution without having to start the entire process over.
Thanks.

I found a solution--though I don't understand why it works.
I was dragging photos (either in a group of hundreds of photos or individually) onto the card so they resided on the top level of the card's system heirarchy. That's when I would always get the "out-of-room" error message.
But when I inadvertantly dragged the entire FOLDER full of hundreds of photos onto the card, it worked fine. I guess the card structure allows for a folder full of hundreds of photos, but not those same photos when they are not in a folder.

Geo load balancing and scaling

I am looking at the options for geographic load balancing and thinking of setting up 2 or 3 regions initially.
Is there any data available for each of the regions in terms of latency for different countries/locations? I want to pick a number of key sites that give me best coverage for areas where I am seeing most traffic in google analytics .....
So as examples I want data to answer questions such as :
Would Texas give me significant gains in both north and south america? Would any areas not benefit?
Considering Australia, india and that part of the world generally would east/south asia be best?
How does that fair for Japan?
etc. etc.
Secondly I want to auto scale. How does auto scaling work with the geographic load balancing?
What would be great is if I could scale all the way up or down (to nothing) based on a schedule in each region. So a fixed European instance , and scaling up on other continents during fixed time schedules. e.g. when India wakes up spin up a service in Asia.

Useful, but I'm not sure that answers my question fully.
Firstly it is for storage, but I guess would be a useful proxy measure.
Am I right in thinking that based on the below it will be testing from one of the below rather than my current location?
It would be useful if the latency test could be switched to be run from any hosting location.
"AzureSpeed.com is running in both Azure East Asia and West US data centers, with following 2 website endpoints
azurespeedeastasia.azurewebsites.net ( Deloyment in East Asia )
azurespeedwestus.azurewebsites.net ( Deployment in West US )"
Could I assume that because Microsoft have opted for from the above my best coverage globally would be be to use East Asia and West US?

Cant install Toshiba HDD Accelerator and HDD Protection

Hi. I bought a new Satellite L845 SP4105LA one month ago with Windows 8 Single Language pre installed. But since I already got a genuine copy and key for Windows 8 Pro myself, I decided to install that edition. It all went well, I installed all the drivers, but I just cant install the Toshiba HDD Accelerator and HDD Protection. When trying to install HDD Accelerator an error windows appears that reads "Environment not supported (2008)", i tried with several versions of that program but always happens the same. With the HDD Protection, it just unpacks the files and then nothing happens. Is there a way for me to install this utilities? Thank you.

Satellite L845-SP4105LA (PSKF8P-01PAR1)
Windows 8 already has Windows 8 Pro built in. You just need to unlock it.
My advice is to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media, and then upgrade normally to Pro. All the Toshiba utilities will have been properly installed.

Have functional difference with GPU acceleration and software processing of Mercury Playback Engine?

Used Decklink SDI and Premiere CS6 to testing.
I have a question~Have functional difference with GPU acceleration and software processing of Mercury Playback Engine?
(Can GPU acceleration export same used 59.94i external monitor export?).
IN specification，Is it need“software processing”？ whether other restrictions?
If Anyone know please tell me.
thank you.

Thank you for your help, and sorry about didn't make it clear.
Use Decklink SDI and Premiere CS6 to test.
In GPU mode of Mercury Engine, the signal form SDI is 1080i, but even fields will be missing.
Take a simple test:
Make quick slide for reproduce animationin in quadrangle(1080i 29.97), but it can't paly smooth and same gone to 30P.
If in Software mode, the action can be smooth.
Although use Software mode can be ok,but if GPU does not realize,it will take long time to render.
system info:
macpro 10.8.1
premiere cs6.0.2
blackmagic driver 9.6.4
GTX285
sequence of premiere
Presets/blackmagic/8bit YUV/interlace/59.94i
Have any problems with my System or the GPU mode can no external monitor output in 59.94?
IN specification，Is it need“software processing”？ whether other restrictions?
thank you!
