Full screen playback jittery with Aero enabled

Hello,
Currently running the CS5 trial on a new (built specifically for cs5) W7 64 based Dell 12-core Xeon box with three monitors attached via two Nvidia Quadro 3800 cards and am having issues with the full screen playback - namely, when my third monitor  is enabled for full screen playback (connected via DVI>HDMI, 1920x1080@50Hz - yes I'm in PAL land) and my sequence matches, e.g. 50Hz - the playback is jittery (vsync slowing frame rate)- disabling Aero causes most of this to go away but now desktop video has to be disabled and there is some horizontal tearing (e.g. the vsync is now working but slightly adrift).
Googling around seems to indicate others with similar problems so this might be a W7 problem - has anybody else seen this kind of issue, and if so got a decent resolution?
I'd rather not have to splash out on unneccesary HDSDI and then HDSDI>HDMI I/O's when on paper a monitor connected via HDMI should playback correctly (which Windows Media Center does) - it also doesn't seem too much to ask for full screen playback to work 'out of the box', does it? How else are we expected to do this otherwise?
I've filed a bug report on this but any other ideas or suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
Sacha Goodwin

2. First thing I did was a clean install of W7 (Enterprise), I always start from vanilla install.
I'm a bit unsure about your tuning guide - can you document what improvements you get after changing said settings? I note the option "Adjust Visual Effects and check Adjust For Best Performance" is one way to turn off Aero (which I've tried anyway), which whilst sort of resolving the original problem, unfortunately now causes other display issues (and also caused CS5 to crash when using the source trimmer window) so have had to switch it back.
Turning off the services as you are suggesting seems a bit drastic just to get a plain DV clip without any FX to playback smoothly (e.g. CPU util is about 3% in these situations, network at about 5%, disk not doing anything).. it's the kind of thing I would have done about 10 years ago but modern machines are supposedly built around HD multimedia so it seems odd to still be expected to do this kind of thing now.
FYI, this was the thread that suggested turning off Aero to fix:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itproperf/thread/d4f155d8-6ff6-4741-bb2d-8 ed184b7a45c
Out of interest, what do other people use to get full HD preview under CS5? Is it all OK out there in NTSC land @ 60fps?
Thanks

  • Full screen playback as with 2nd screen blacked?

    I've got two Apple displays hooked up to my G5, and unlike DVD Player, which automatically blacks the second screen when I enter full screen playback, Quicktime leaves the second screen unblacked- I'm hoping I can figure out a way to get Quicktime to black the second screen as with DVD Player? As opposed to simply dimming it (since the syst. prefs don't allow for complete dim-to-black) Any other users notice this as an issue? Obviously not a soul-crushing problem, but is kinda annoying...
    Searched for previous posts on this topic, didn't see it posted already, which surprised me. But I don't see any settings in the Quicktime full screen playback settings that might address this.
    cheers,
    Jack

    Holy blackout, Batman! That did the trick- my "Full Screen" options were set to "Fit to Screen" instead of "Fill Screen", and I checked the "Background Color- show on all displays" box. Nice. Thanks much!!!

  • ITunes movie full-screen playback broke with a recent update

    A few months ago Apple pushed out an update to iTunes. After they did all of my purchased movies (and newly purchased videos) stopped playing properly in "fullscreen" mode. Instead of being full-screen, the iTunes window goes full-screen but the movie itself is 640x480 dead in the middle.
    This is horrible.
    I've complained to Apple. They say to try Quicktime player. That worked ! I get full-screen. But why is iTunes broken? I can't figure it out.
    To see an example of what this looks like, check out http://www.simson.net/itunes.jpg
    Has anybody come across this problem? Does anybody know a solution?
    Yes, I am running the most recent version of iTunes...
    Thanks!

    On Windows XP, the preferences are probably located in the registry (DISCLAIMER: I do NOT know what I'm talking about here, and you should not poke around the registry unless you are comfortable doing so). That said, try the following...
    a) log onto your account that repros the problem
    b) Start->Run, type "regedit"
    c) using the tree on the left side, find an entry for iTunes under
    HKEYCURRENTUSER. Do not mess with any entries under the other
    top-level nodes.
    d) Assuming you found the entry under
    + HKEYCURRENTUSER
    + Software
    + Apple
    + iTunes
    Use the File menu to export the iTunes node to a REG file and save
    the file to the desktop so you can get back to your current settings
    if the rest of these instructions do not solve your problem. If you
    can't find the iTunes node manually, you can try searching for it
    using the FIND (CTRL+F, I think). Again, be careful to NOT mess with
    any iTunes nodes that are not under HKEYCURRENTUSER. If you still
    can't find an iTunes node, then iTunes probably doesn't use the
    registry to store it's preferences and you're back to square one.
    e) Delete the iTunes node
    f) launch iTunes to see if the problem still occurs. If it does, delete
    the iTunes node again and double-click the REG file you saved in step (d)
    to return your settings to what they were before. If the problem goes
    away, then you're probably done, but expect that iTunes has otherwise
    returned to its default settings.
    Good Luck!

  • Dual Monitor and Full screen playback in Color 1.0

    So, I was wondering if somebody could help me out.
    I have 2 screens, one is a 23" ACD other is a 23" dell. I am going to be color correcting with my Matrox MXO setup on the 23"ACD. Whenever I do full screen playback the waveform monitor and vectroscope and all that jazz is not available anymore (obviously because of full screen)
    So I was wondering what my options were:
    1. Setup the waveform and vector scope to show on my primary display? (if possible, I'm not sure how to do it)
    2. Do I have to get another graphics card and run three monitors?
    3. If I Color grade with full screen playback disabled am I still utilizing the MXO for grading?
    I am new to Color and how it works so I apologize if these questions seem "newbie-ish" of me.
    Thanks

    Isn't there a SINGLE MONITOR option in COLOR? Use that.
    I don't think two graphics cards will work with Color, as Color relies on the card when it comes time to render. Might mess it up, or not work.

  • Full screen playback in PE9 garbled - anyone else see this?

    I mentioned this in a general post but I'll make it a specific question now -
    When I click on the "full screen" button near the top right of the interface, full screen playback has a corrupted area which corresponds with where the timescale is on the normal interface.  Sometimes the playback cursor "breaks through" as a black vertical line too.
    Does anyone else see this?
    I have the latest Nvidia drivers installed.  Windows XP Pro SP3 Q9300 quad core PC 2GB memory.
    Thanks for any observations.

    It's very obvious if you do have the problem - a wide strip of the video (horizontal, matching the timescale hidden beneath the full screen display) gets shifted sideways somewhat (flickering on and off), so that any vertical object in the footage gets displaced sideways at that point in an obvious juddering fashion.  I tried to do a screen grab but simply doing that makes the problem change - it is more evident when the footage is running than when frozen.
    Anyway, adjusting the Windows Display Properties "hardware acceleration" slider, moving it to the left till it is set to the point where the message beneath reads "Disable all DirectDraw and Direct3D acceleraions.  Use this setting to correct severe problems with DirectX accelerated applications" seems to fix the problem.
    Graphics card is a GeForce 8600 GT, in case that's relevant.
    At least I know how to work around the problem.  Let's see if others come across the same problem in due course.  Maybe it's just a local issue.

  • Full screen playback on second monitor results in having to force quit Premier if a window opens on the second monitor.

    Run into this problem a few times now. If I have full screen playback going to my second monitor, and then I try to do something like link media and the link media window opens on that second monitor I can't figure out a way to get to it. I end up having to force quit. Because the link media window causes all other application buttons to disable while it is open I have not been able to find a solution other than force quitting, reopen and disable full screen playback, open link media window and move it to the other monitor and then again enable full screen playback.
    Has anyone run into this? Am I missing an easy solution?

    You need to set up your Graphics Card Application first eg A and B Monitors , side by side etc.
    In my case..a  NVidea Display Application does this from the Control Panel
    Then the second monitor will appear in display setting (Premiere).
    My second monitor is entirely dedicated to full screen playback display.

  • Full Screen Playback Control Impossible Using Monitor 2 in Dual Monitor

    Recent iTunes update (patch didn't fix) causes playback control to disappear when the cursor is on the monitor showing the movie. Controls reappear when cursor is moved to first monitor. User cannot get the cursor near the control panel. Must drop out of full screen playback to touch controls with the cursor.

    Isn't there a SINGLE MONITOR option in COLOR? Use that.
    I don't think two graphics cards will work with Color, as Color relies on the card when it comes time to render. Might mess it up, or not work.

  • No Full Screen Playback

    I am trying to view full screen playback but I am not seeing any AV devices under the video playback menu. When I go to view/Video Playback the only option is "None".
    I have ben able to get full screen playback with this setup as recently as today but something has changed.
    I tried a complete reinstall and that did nothing.
    I have tried refreshing A/V devices but it doesn't detect anything, not even the laptop screen.
    Any ideas?

    I have gotten it to work a couple of times, but I am never sure what is fixing it. Restarting multiple times mixed with something else seems to do it, but then if I restart one more time after that I lose it again - the External A/V window comes up upon launching the program saying that it was unable to locate the Digital Cinema Desktop Preview.

    I would like to use slideshow in lightroom to export my video as a full screen 1920x1080 video with text overlays.  I am using text overlay in lightroom as it reads from the metadata that is easy for me to input in the library screen.  When i export from lightroom slideshow and choose the 1920x1080 resolution the end product is a very small video in the middle of a black background.  i have double checked and do not have any borders turned on.  Another option would be to export from the library but lr mogrify does not seem to put text overlays on video either.  Any input would be welcome.

    I dont understand anything you said in your post.
    Do you have a specific question about video production?
    The forums are for individual technical or creative issues that users have with video production. I am sur someone will be able to help you, but and to get a response it is best to ask a specific question.
    Is this about a technical problem you have or something about setting up a web site? If its the latter this is the wrong forum.

  • Toggling for Full Screen playback

    I am having no success toggling to full screen playback in Premier Pro CS6 using ctrl+` or anything else. The onmly way I can get to full screen during playback is by going to Edit/Prefernces/Playback and ticking one of the 2 monitors (or both) that I have connected. The only way of going back to small screen playback is by going into the same menu and deselecting.
    Look forward to hearing from anyone,
    Dan

    This isn't the answer you are looking for, but maybe I can help a little.
    If you look in the keyboard shortcuts and search for "playback" the one under "edit" will at least allow you to call up the window faster than using menus. I assigned Ctrl-Shift-P because I don't care about setting poster frames and I can remember the "P" for "playback".
    I don't see any way to select or deselect the monitor via the keyboard. At least not from within Premiere Pro. If you were a moderately talented programmer, there are ways to control Premiere Pro from outside of the program itself. I used to write programs to control other programs but I haven't done so since about 1994.

  • Problem with full screen playback

    Everything works fine until I go to preview in full screen. I hit the space bar to play the viewer and nothing happens. If I move the mouse over to where the play button is in the viewer window before the screen goes full and click where it was, it will play.
    The spacebar works fine when not in full screen mode. Any ideas?
    Im running FCE 3.0 in a PB 1.5 ghz with 2 gigs of ram running 10.4.8. I have not changed anything about my system that i know of (except the normal updates) since i did my last project last year and the full screen worked fine then.
    Thanks for any help.

    By previewing fullscreen on your Powerbook, you're stretching video that is 720x480 to fit a 1280x854 screen. Recipe for ugliness.
    I'd recommend just setting your Canvas to 100% and viewing it at native resolution.
    I saved a different window layout for this on my Powerbook. It has a keyboard shortcut assigned to it, so I have one layout for basic editing, and another layout to blow it up to 100% for viewing.

  • Screen Changes With Full Screen Playback Over HDMI

    Any one know if this is the best way to report a flash issue to the development team?
    Home Theater PC connected to a Sony  Bravia Television via HDMI
    Issue is that when the Flash content is played back on full screen, the Television flickers and displays a 'scene changed' anytime the mouse cursor appears or disappears. Happens in IE, Firefox, and Chrome.  This problem began with the latest version of Flash player. 

    I have been trying to get this to work too.
    Seems an obvious void with many of us trying to have both audio and video in a playlist!
    Apple, please make it so visualizer plays while a song is playing but a video will play full screen if it's a music video! Please?

  • Making apps open in full screen by default WITHOUT resume enabled.

    Hi guys,
    I love using apps in full screen on Lion and would like to have all apps capable of it open in full screen by default.  Unfortunately I've found the only way to do this is to have resume enabled which I really don't like as I find it annoying having to exit out of whatever document I was using last whenever word/acrobat etc. open.  Also don't want what I have been browsing on Safari previously to be seen.  I have read from other users in the discussions and in other forums that Lion should remember if you have exited an app while in full screen and will re-open in full screen.  Unfortunately this is not the case for me as I am having to click my apps in to full screen each time I open them.  Does anyone know if there is some sort of preference file I can clear to get this functionality?
    Thanks

    "How does one choose what player to use when , once saved to desktop, they all seem to open the file regardless of the type extension (.ave , .wmv and so on)?"
    You can select a "default" player to open a specific file by following the instructions in #2 of my previous post.
    Just make sure whichever player you download is for the Intel Mac.
    "For instance , say you`re in a forum and there`e is a "hey , look at this...' type of thing. The "look at this" being an attachment of some sort."
    This involves your "browser" plug-ins. Assuming you are using QuickTime, this is done through QuickTime MIME Settings.
    Quicktime>Quicktime Player Preferences>Advanced
    Click on the MIME Settings button.
    Some browsers have their own default player plug-ins that can override QuickTime when you make a player selection on certain website. For instance: Realplayer opens .rm files. QuickTime cannot open .rm files.
    In the next window that opens up make sure that Streaming-Streaming movies is enabled (checked).
    While you’re at it make sure all the boxes are enabled by clicking on the corresponding triangles so that they are pointed down.
    This will show the “hidden” boxes.
    Click the OK button.
    I would restart just to be on the safe side.
    =========================
    Sorry, I am not familiar with Intel Macs. Suggest that if you have any concerns besides QuickTime, you may wish to cross-post in the Intel-based iMac Forums where knowledgeable users using the same model computer as yourself hang out.
    Maybe it would be easier if you would advise the type of player(s) you are interested in? I am assuming QuickTime since you posted in its forum. Are you having an issue making QT your default player?

  • Menu Bar at top will not hide during full screen playback

    URGENT!! Please help. I am playing a QT movie in version 7 on operating system 10.3.9 on an ibook. Despite selecting full screen mode the menu bar at the top will not disappear during playback. Have checked all preference settings. Any advice?

    I am having the same problem. I have an iBook with system 10.3.9 running the newest version of QT. It worked at first, but then I used the menu once during a fullscreen play and the menu hasn't hidden since. And no, my cursor isn't stuck at the top of the screen.

    This could a RAM case, as when the phone is doing something and RAM goes down, it starts to close certain apps. Personally if all you wanted was a name on txt msg alerts I would recommend iSMS or ThreadSMS. AFAIK both works on on non-touch phones (iSMS was originally for s60v3) and not only do they provide the senders name on the text alert, they also let you view your messages in conversation view (iphone style) and are free...XD
