GTX 480, The Hack, Cross Dissolve freezes playback.

Still experimenting with Canon T2i footage in CS5 with MPE set to recognize my GTX 480 (latest beta driver).
Two clips butted up, cross-dissolve layed over them--line is yellow.
Upon playback, source monitor freezes when transition is reached.
Footage is located on my fastest mobo raid.
i7 930, 12gb RAM, not overclocked (first attempt failed).
Kind of a bummer.

Have you updated to 5.0.1? There was a bug in 5.0 where two butted clips, instantes from the same clip in the project window frooze up with cross dissolves.

  • Premiere Pro CS 5.5 can't do a simple cross dissolve with MPE enabled?

    When adding cross dissolves to a project that I'm working on, I've come across an odd problem. I say odd because this should be dirt simple, but Adobe seems to have messed this up. Please advise on any solution or work around, or perhaps simply see if you can recreate the issue so we can get Adobe to fix this.
    Problem:
    Cross dissolves transitions don't seem to work consistently in cs 5.5. Note: I know how transitions work, and I'm not doing something stupid like trying to apply a transition to a cut without actually removing any video between the two clips (assuming the clips came from the same source video.). I'm able to recreate this issue on two different systems with premiere pro cs 5.5 by doing the follwing:
    Create a new project and and sequence with the default settings.
    Enable the Mercury Playback Engine if it isn't already enabled.
    I import the Wildlife.wmv video that comes default with Windows 7 systems.
    Drop it the video into the sequence.
    Ripple delete about a 2 second section of the video. be sure to do this in the first half of the video, and make sure the the video changes the scene during this period so that you will notice the cross dissolve transition when it is applied.
    Apply the default cross dissolve transition to the edit.
    Review the edit. For my test, this edit always seems to work fine.
    This is a screen capture of the working cross dissolve transition.
    Now let me show you what happens when I do a similar edit somewhere in the second half of the video clip.
    As you can see, for the duration of the transition, only the clip to the left is shown. At the end of the transition effect the program out preview jumps to displaying the clip to the right. There is no transition.
    Additional notes:
    This second transition works fine with MPE disabled, but because if of my other problem http://forums.adobe.com/message/3725642 that I have with MPE disable it is not a viable work around.
    Help?

    I too am experiencing this issue.  AVCHD footage, GPU Acceleration, trying to apply a cross dissolve, and instead it randomly seems to see it as a simple cut.  The Cross Dissolve is simply ignored... Adjusting the footage length, removing the CDissolve, re-rendering, etc. have no effect.  For whatever reason, in that specific location on the timeline, a cross dissolve with GPU acceleration is impossible.  Yet, in other sections of the timeline, it is just fine.
    (The Fast Blur trick mentioned above worked (Thank you!) however, when I changed my playback resolution on the screen display, that broke the fix.  Deleting the fast blur, and applying it to the clip on the other side of the cross dissolve, re-enabled the work around)
    I also see an issue when a clip changes in the timeline, (cut from one piece of footage, to another) the video will begin to studder, dropping frames.  Framerate seems to drop to about 2fps.  To get smooth playback back, I have to pause and resume the playback.  Even if this is done very very rapidly, it still fixes the playback issue.  it's just really annoying to have to constantly stop and resume playback everytime a video clip changes in the timeline.
    I have a dedicated hard drive for video, and a dedicated mirrored array for the OS.  the video drive is a 7200rpm SATAII drive, and I'm using AVCHD footage.  I really don't think it's a disk speed issue... particularly as pausing and resuming (even if you do it as fast as you can possibly hit the keys) fixes it.  I'd rather not spend the $ to set up a RAID 10 for video, if I can avoid it and particularly if it's not needed.

  • Minimal performace improvement with GTX 480

    Just wanted to see if anyone was getting reasonable mercury acceleration with the nvidia GTX 480 and hack.  I notice that i get yellow bars even before i apply any effects to a single video layer (mainly working with AVCHD or video from a Canon 5d mkii).  Any effect automatically turns the bar red.  Maybe the codec is just too hard for CS5 to work with but i was hoping with a high-end machine I would be able to do more.
    I have the updated nvidia driver 257.21 and followed the hack instructions. The strange thing was that under step 5 of the hack instructions "under "Manage 3D Settings", Click "Add" and browse to your  Premiere CS5  install directory and select the executable file: "Adobe  Premiere  Pro.exe"", It only had premiere CS4 listed.  In any case, it allowed me to activate mercury in the CS5 preferences.  I remember reading that most people were getting 3 layers with effects (and one person even claimed 11 layers.)  I wondering if i am missing something.  Here are my system specs.
    Windows 7 64 bits
    CS5 (full version no previous versions installed)
    i7-980x (oc'd to 3.9)
    GTX 480
    12g 1600 ram
    Drives:
        raid 0 SSD boot/program
        raid 0 scratch
        raid 3 (4 disk) data/video disks
        single output disk.

    Hi, I am also usung the gtx 480 , and I have been getting very good results. it all depends on other factors that could be causing a issue.
    as Harm suggested try the benchmark test.

  • Bladed a clip but is not applying cross dissolve

    This is a bit of an odd one?  When creating a transition between two separate clips, applying most fades etc is straightforward.  Have just created a cut in one individual clip, tried to apply the transition 'Cross Dissolve' and for some reason it won't do it.  Anyone experienced this?

    Have not run into this.. Assuming cross dissolve is your default, selecting the edit point and Command-T (or double-clicking) should add a transition – continuous clip or not. (Of course, if it's just bladed and no part of the clip has been removed, you wouldn't see any effect in playback – which is why I asked the question about jump cuts.)
    Perhaps someone else can add something.

  • Creating cross-dissolve from still photo to video

    Hello all ...
    I'm try to create a simple cross-dissolve between a black-and-white photo (imported into FCE as an RGB Photoshop file) and a color (1440x1080) video clip. My problem is that FCE will only insert the dissolve on the right (video) side of the edit, the result being that the photo abruptly goes to black, followed by a gradual fading-in of the video. This is not the effect I want – I'm hoping to create a smoother transition between the two. I suspect that I haven't saved the still photo in the correct format, but I can't seem to find any help in my various FCE books.
    So: How do I apply the transition to both sides of the edit? Is it even possible?
    Thanks in advance for any and all advice.
    Alec

    Tom, I figured it out. The audio for the video clip was overlapping the edit (i.e. it extended to the left, so that the video clip's audio ran under the still pic). When I got rid of the (easily replaced) audio, the regular cross-dissolve worked.
    Now I just need to figure out how to make the transition last longer than 13 frames!
    Thanks for your prompt responses ... I really appreciate it.
    Merry Christmas!

  • Problem with Cross Dissolve

    I have a couple of clips I want to add the default Cross Dissolve between. The first clip is 04;04 sec., and the other clip is 04;12 sec. When I add the dissolve between them, it only comes in at a duration 00;01; while, when I add the same dissolve to the beginning or end of a clip, it has a duration of 01;00 (which is what I want between the clips.)
    Since I have enough footage on each clip (right?), shouldn't the default dissolve be applied at 01;00?
    (P.S. This same thing is happening at many places along the timeline.)
    Thanks.

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    That's because both clips must have some "unused" material to "build" the transition itself.
    We call this "handles".
    To get a 1 second transition, the outcoming (the first one) and incoming (the second one) clips must have at least 15 frames of unused material: 15 frames after the out point of outcoming and 15 frame before the in point of incoming one. This is related to the fact that FCE keep the same sequence's duration with or without transition.(iMovie decrease the duration of your movie when you insert a transition).
    Instead of cuting your clips as suggested earlier, use the ripple tool (RR) and adjust the clips.

  • Audio in Clip1 continues across Clip 2 (no sound) during a Cross Dissolve

    Hi,
    Just got a new Intel Mac Pro with heaps of RAM & HDD's to use for my part time wedding video production business.
    I have a problem in iMovie 06, which I just can't find a solution for.
    When I place a cross dissolve between say clip 1 & clip 2 the audio from clip 1 continues across the full cross dissolve with NO audio in the cross dissolve from clip 2. It is only when the playhead cross over the cross dissolve to clip 2 that clip 2 sound can be heard!
    This is VERY annoying when clip 1 has quite audio & clip 2 is nosiey - I get a instant increase in volume when the playhead goes from the back of the cross dissolve to clip 2!
    Can anyone help!
    Thanks,
    Trav

    Try selecting Show Clip Volume Levels in the View menu. Then select the transition and expand your time line as far as it can go to view the transition. You will see that the transition has a volume line running horizontally through it, just like any other clip, that lets you adjust the volume by dragging the line up or down. It sounds to me like your transition has the volume line pulled all the way to the bottom, muting all sound in the transition. Adjust the volume line upward in the transition. If I am correct, the sound from Clip 1 and Clip 2 should be blended into a smooth transition. Worth a try, anyway.

  • Problem with Cross Dissolve: The video cuts out during the transistion

    I'm encountering a problem with the Cross Dissolve transistion wherein during the period in which the transition should be happening the video instead drops out.  There's plenty of heads and tails available on both clips, but as soon as the timeline hits the start of the transition "from' clip cuts out, revealing the background or black if there's no background underneath and then the "go-to" clip cuts in at the end of the transition.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I've been having this issue and it's driving me crazy.  It's random, that some cross dissolves work, and others don't.  Seems to affect AVCHD footage.  Adobe seems to be aware of the issue.
    The work around that I've seen posted by a forum user "Mitch W" is to apply a GPU accelerated effect to one of the clips in the pair.  The effect can be turned to "0" so as not to alter the video.  The act of doing this, makes premiere see the clip differently, and render the cross dissolve correctly.
    Fast Blur, set to "zero", seems to do the trick, and allows it to work with CUDA acceleration turned on.  I did notice that the work around was broken by changing the playback resolution in the viewer window.  In that situation, I had to apply the GPU effect to the other clip in the pair to make it work again.
    I don't know what will happen if I change my playback resolution again...

  • Why does my encoded DVD adds a zoom-in and a delay wherever the imported asset has a cross-dissolve?

    Greetings!
    Still a rank amateur, and a frustrated one because the Encoder when it burns a DVD for me (with no bells or whistles) adds a zoom-in to the cross dissolves that perform very happily in my cs5 sequence and in my H264.
    When I burn a DVD from an imported sequence (or from an imported H264), the resulting DVD upon playback actually expands the viewing rectangle briefly which looks like a zoom out and then starts my zoom-in late.

    FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?

  • Cross Dissolve transition does not work after cutting the tails of both ends.

    I used to apply the Cross Dissolve video transition a while ago and never had any problems. My Cross Dissolve is not working for whatever reason. I usually split parts of the movie using the razor tool and cut the tail of both parts I just split, than apply the Cross Dissolve, but it does not work at all. I dont know if I am doing something wrong here, I need your help if you can help me with that. I have also tried to apply Film Dissolve but I have the same problem.
    Thank you very much!!
    Renata

    I am trying to put together a recruiting video. I was out recording a bunch of people talking about the organization, when I am working with something like this I usually try to shorten the 3 or 5 minute clip I have from one person and just connect the parts of the clip that need to be on the screen, that requires several cuts during the clip and merge the good parts together using the cross dissolve. It is very simple and I have done several times, but for whatever reason during certain parts of the clip when applied will not work. The clips are usually 1 to 3 minutes long and I need to extract the good parts making no more than 1 minute for each peson talking.
    Thanks!

  • I cannot edit the Cross Dissolve in the Effects Control Panel in Premiere Pro CC 2014

    If I put a film dissolve between two clips on my timeline, and then click on the film dissolve, I'm able to go to my Effects Window and drag clip A (Top Bar) to the right and trim lets say 3 seconds then go to Clip B (Bottom Bar) and drag to the left to take off lets say 10 seconds off the beginning of clip B.  That very method worked for cross dissolves until this latest update for CC 2014.  It forces me to use ripple edit in the timeline on each endpoint of each clip instead of flying through it in the effects window by clicking each dissolve in the time line.  It's just weird that they would take that out for only the cross dissolve which I prefer using more than anything and not the rest of the dissolves. Does anyone have a clue why? Or is this a bug?

    That is correct. This is the only transition where the workflow has changed.
    You can now make it into a preset.
    BTW I dont use it often but i dont like it either not being able to adjust the cross dissolve in the EC.

    I have cross dissolve transitions set between images and videos, and I have the pan/zoom hold setting at "0." Despite the "0" setting, my images are static until the cross dissolve is complete. I want the pan/zoom feature to start the moment the subsequent image becomes visible. Is there a solution?

    tonyproam
    I am not sure if I am zeroing in on what you seek so please clarify...on
    I want the pan/zoom feature to start the moment the subsequent image becomes visible.
    Do you mean fading in visible versus or completely visible at the end of the transition? Whatever the case, I have not
    found a scenario to fit what you are describing.
    However, here are my suggestions for you to consider...
    1. What is the alignment of the Cross Dissolve transition - Left Clip, Between Clips, or Right Clip. If Between Clips, please try Left Clip alignment.
    2. What is the duration of the Cross Dissolve transition - you could try varying the transition duration. If less than 1 second, then please read the
    details for minimum transition duration in the following
    http://atr935.blogspot.com/2014/03/pe-minimum-duration-for-transition.html
    Please let me know if any of the above worked for you in what you were seeking regarding pan and zoom effect and video transitions.
    Thank you.

  • Is it possible to put the new nVidia GTX 480 in the Mac Pro

    I'm planning on creating the ultimate gaming machine, but also want the best operating system. So I have decided that my next computer will be the Mac Pro and will have the new nVidia GTX 480 (if it works). The Windows partition would be used for heavy gaming with DX 11 and PhysX technology. While on the OSX partition I could use the greatest operating system, to do general things like Movie Making, Picture Editing, Web Surfing, Emailing etc.
    So all in all, is it possible to install a GTX 480 on OSX? I know it'll work with the windows partition, but not sure about OSX. I'm also unsure about the hardware side of things, but that's why I'm asking!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks again,
    Mike

    If you don't need dual processor, PC with 980X Gulftown makes sense.
    Forget over clocking a Mac, but if you need dual processor, the Mac Pro makes sense but expect to pay. Otherwise, take a look at
    EVGA Classified SR-2 (Super Record 2) 270-WS-W555-A1
    http://www.evga.com/products/prodlist.asp?switch=5
    Apple has not had good Nvidia drivers. And right now there are two 6-pin, and you need 6 + 8 and stick with Windows 7 and ability to do SLI. I laugh when people talk about "windoz" (rude) being somehow less or 'inferior' having seen the best - and worst - of both (never got caught up in 95/98/NT/XP so spoiled by only knowing Vista/7). I still think 10.6 hasn't quite caught up to 7 in areas that really matter, like threading, multicore, efficient use of memory.
    Forget using more than one, Apple likes graphic cards that are low power, low end, and only supporting one high end card.
    The GTX 480 @ $499, and if Apple offered it, it would be $549 or more (Apple 'tax' for smaller market and having to do their own drivers). And it would be much later before optimized drivers (maybe next year this time at best).
    While you can go water and add custom fans and cooling, the Mac is much more of a "closed" box in many ways beyond RAM and hard drives and +very limited+ selection of graphics.
    That really is my honest assessment.
    The place where Mac Pro is easier, you can install 32-64GB RAM without trouble and not have to worry about compatibility or PSU issues. I'm always surprised by all the memory testing and supported and problems PC owners go through (I don't think Cruical Ballistix gets enough credit).
    DX11 will still take time. Adobe showed how GPGPU/CUDA could benefit, but Apple and Adobe apps have always tended to favor ATI which is just beginning to get into OpenCL technology ... and the 5000 series may find Nvidia Fermi, while it took longer, runs hot and power requirement, could be better poised down the road too.
    A single socket Mac Pro 3.3GHz or even stock (same as 920) will do the job you want.

  • How do I create a cross dissolve when working with an Image with the Multiply effect applied?

    FINAL CUT PRO X
    I've added the Multiply effect to an image as it is black and white and I need it to blend in with the background - when I try to add a cross dissolve onto the image to fade it into the background the image will not dissolve with the applied effect, instead, during the dissolve the image is black and white, once the dissolve is complete it then applies the Multiply effect...
    How do I make this so the multiply effect is applied during the dissolve?

    Try making the clip with the Multiply Effect into a Compound Clip and then adding the Dissolve.
