Mercury engine to work in lion 10.7  or 10.7.4

After spending days and suport still my new card is not working and giving it's power. nvidia 4000 for mac
so How dose one get it to work is my simple question..
mac pro 4,1 osx now after new update from Apple 10.7.4
Kind regards
Trevor
ps with cray hair.

There is a free app which puts a GUI to the process of making the terminal command to boot up in 64 bit.
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/32252/32--or-64-bit-kernel-startup-mo de-selector
Give it a try - it worked for me.  But, since you were running in 10.6 with it in 32-bit without problems, I'm not so sure this is the solution.  Give it a shot, though.
Yes this helped and put me on the right track.
the drive which was running 10.6.8 was in 32 and by using this programe fixed that even though ME was working in 32 bit but now the drives are in 64 and all is well.
Then I went to Lion and did the same with out it working so may the programe need to update to Lion I don't know but my Drive was in 32. so I went to work and yes after going to Lion recovery disk and finding password (that took some time) I was able to go in to the termainl and change the drive from 32 to 64.
Went in to adobe PP and YES MC engine working. Cool only taken 7 days.
Then did a few test with FCP v PP 98 tracks of DVcpro and working fine and in the cup/ active monitor I was using about 1/3 of them I guess FCP is not using Cuda but hey it must be the card memory or some thing. Then in PP 5.5 and test version of PP6 40 tracks and I was only using 10% or put it this way the first line and I think it talks for it self cuda is good..... so thanks for all your help.
Just a little question which I find odd in FCP you can mark the clip make them and use cmd and shift to move them up and past them above each other. but not in PP have to copy them and past then in and then move them up. just feel a very long way around or am I mising some thing.
But I can live with that for now.
and again I am please I ask a question In a after effects web air other wise I still be sitting trying to work this out.
Thank you
Trevor

  • Premiere cs5 mercury engine will it work without any graphic card?

    HI there I have core 2quad 6600 processor of 2.4ghz, and intel classic series fb33 motherboard, with only onboard video ram shared with physical ram of 2gb.
    I want to install cs5 on 64bit OS and upgrade total ram to 8 gb without buying any graphic cards(right now). Qn is will I be able to edit avchd videos? will the
    mercury engine still be enabled? I know its kinda "no budget, want all qn" Right now I dont wanna buy a card as am plannin to buy new system later..
    Thanks

    Yes, of course, you are correct, Harm.  I was over-simplifying. 
    I Took the OP's "enabled" to really mean "accelerated", and in that sense, it will not work as without the necessary graphics card there will be no acceleration.
    I can certainly support your third paragraph, having just moved from a four-year-old system with a quad 3 GHz processor, 8 GB of RAM and a hacked 460 GTX graphics card, to a Sandy Bridge E system with a 3930 CPU, 32 GB of RAM but the same graphics card and HDD set up (for the moment). Your oft stated "molasses in winter" describes my old system pretty well from my present viewpoint!
    The old system coped with the fairly gentle HDV, provided I kept the number of assets down, but threw a hissy fit if I tried 1920 HD, even with the Matrox (I know, I know!) I-frame codec.
    Gigarigh,
    You would be better off upgrading along my path - motherboard and processor first, using as much as you can of your old system for now, as this allows much better scope for future upgrading.

  • Does Premiere Pro CS5 mercury engine work with my imac 27 inch?

    I have a 27 inch imac that I bought 4 months ago.   Yesterday I upgraded my Creative Suite Production Premium CS4 to CS5.   It costs a lot more do to that when you live in Japan (about $300  more).  I installed it all and to my disappoinment I can't access PPro's  new mercury engine on 64 bit.  I read the specs and I thought my  computer is capable.  Can somebody please tell me if my specs are good?   imac is a total disappoinment in that they will not replace any  parts!!!   I have two very expensive items (imac 27 inch and Adobe  CS5).  Can I not utilize the mercury engine in P PRo?  I will be so sad  if that is the case.   I've called apple and they say they won't change  the graphic card or CPU if those are my problems. Which means I'll have  two great things, my new imac and new Adobe soft and I can't use them  together.
    Anyways, here are my specs.  I hope someone can shed  some light on this matter for me.  I'm hoping I just don't have my PP settings right.  Thanks in advance!
    Model Name: iMac
    Model Identifier: iMac11,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core i7
    Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 4
    L2 Cache (per core): 256 KB
    L3 Cache: 8 MB
    Memory: 16 GB
    Processor Interconnect Speed: 4.8 GT/s
    ATI Radeon HD 4850

      Thank you kindly for your reply.  I figured I was only able to use software only MPE as that is why it is all greyed out in my preferences.  I was hoping I had not done something simple that would fix the issue.
    So after reading a lot on here about MPE my question is this:
    Is soft only MPE 64 bit?  Is it still significantly better than my CS4 P.Pro that I had or did I just waste a crap of money on the upgrade?  What does soft only MPE have to offer?  so far my editing doesn't really seem to be much faster but I haven't put it to test yet. And of course, the render line is always red and not yellow like all those fantastic videos show when they're bragging about how cool Hardware accelerated MPE is.
    If feel like I got robbed.
    Thanks for your time.
    Oh, one more thing.  In the near future, "could" a driver update for my ATI Radeon HD 4850 possibly fix this issue?  imacs will NOT replace CPU or GPU.  For that, I am really, really annoyed.  The main reason I bought this computer with the specs was to use Adobe at its best.

  • Issues with Mercury Engine GPU acceleration and stills

    Hi folks, recently made the switch to CS6 Creative Cloud and for the most part I am loving Premiere Pro CS6 except I am having one major issue. I've got a early 2011 Macbook Pro with the 1GB AMD Radeon HD 6750M video card and 16GB of RAM and I am using Lion 10.7.4. Mercury Engine GPU mode works great on this machine (fast timeline renders, accelerated effects, quick exports) except whenever I try to use a still image on the timeline. It doesn't matter if it's a JPG, TIFF, PSD, or anything else. It also doens't matter what the size of the image is either. As soon as I drop a still on the timeline the responsiveness of the entire program starts to grind to a halt. Parts of the timeline that were playing back soomthly (in GPU or software mode) now can barely play at 10-15 fps.
    I don't have this issue in Software Mercury Playback mode (I just loose all the benefits of the GPU acceleration).
    If I switch back to Software Mode, delete the previews and restart Premiere things go back to working well in software mode.
    I'm working on projects with Canon DSLR footage (1080P 30fps) and I am working off of a fast RAID 0 hard drive set-up.
    If anyone has any advice on how I can actually use the amazing GPU mode I would be most grateful.
    thanks
    Daniel

  • No scaling with mercury engine (Cinemascope to HD for playback)

    Hi
    I have a Blackmagic Extreme 3D+ card installed in my 12-core Mac Pro running AE CC 2014.
    When I playback an HD composition (1920x1080) the video is playback through the mercury engine fine.
    But when I have a cinemascope composition (2048x858) the video is not played back because it does not fit the aspect ratio I assume.
    When I playback the same resolution and aspect ratio e.g. in DaVinci Resolve the video is scaled and played back as a correct Letterbox through the same card.
    Of course I can set my AE comp to HD or nest my comp into a new HD comp but it would be great if it would play out directly doing the scaling.
    Is there a way to achieve this scaled playback or is Adobe doing something about it?
    I think this would be very important.
    Regards,
    Uli

    Hi
    Finally Blackmagic updated their Desktop Video Software to make it "customizable" in AE 2014.
    Well the setup dialogue in AE video preferences gives three options:
    No output: which means "off"
    center: which cuts off the picture if you are working with material wider than HD (like Scope, or everything that needs to be letterboxed)
    scale to fit: which distorts the picture awfully because it fits everything into a wrong aspect ratio
    What we would need is just what is in AE:
    Like "fit to width" which would maintain the right aspect ratio and scale a scope into HD.
    This should be possible I think. Otherwise nesting into a HD sequence is the only way again.
    (DaVinci does it, easydcp does it, all with the same BM card)

  • About Mercury Engine in a Dell Notebook (ATI HD 7730M GPU)

    Hey, guys!
    (sorry anticipately about any language errors, I'm from Brazil and try my best to say things correctly in english)
    I was about to buy a new Dell notebook, the Inspiron 15r SE, that has a really great config (for my use) and comes with this ATI Radeon HD 7730M GPU.
    One friend advised me to don't do this, because it lacks the GPU Mercury Engine ability.
    With some research, I found that the OpenCL (ATI's equivalent to GeForce's CUDA) isn't really ready to work with CS6 GPU Mercury Engine on any PC.
    So, what you guys think? Is it really the best choice, to don't buy this Inspiron because of the lack of GPU MPE or it won't change performance that much?
    Additional info:
    1. This Inspiron 15r SE config is the following:
    - i7-3612QM
    - 8GB RAM (1600 Mhz)
    - ATI Radeon HD 7730M (2GB)
    - 1TB HDD + 32GB mSATA SSD Cache
    - 15,6" screen (1920x1080)
    2. I will use only CS6, not CS5.X
    So, hope you guys could help me.
    If this problem isn't that bad, I'm gonna buy this Inspiron, 'cause the price is really good (to brazilian standards :/).
    Thanks!

    Hey, Dave, thanks for the reply!
    First: About lap/desktops, I know these things. I do have one desktop too, but as I travel every weekend I like to keep one laptop with me, you know?
    Second: I did check the cards list, but they're all too expensive, or desktop, or so.
    Now: My use is balanced with Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects. I don't use Premiere that much, although sometimes I edit some stuff. Anyways, nothing intense like multiple RED footage or so. So, about the occasional use of Premiere: The CUDAs would make it insanely better to work in comparison to this ATI card?
    Let's take, for comparison, my actual laptop: LG a520 (i7-2630QM, 6GB RAM, 640HDD, GeForce GT 540M 2GB- wich has CUDA but is not on the officially supported list, or is to weak, I Don't know).
    My use won't get worse, right? In fact, with PS, AI and AE it will be better, I think.
    In the end: I just wanna know if I'm gonna do a bad deal buying this Dell, because, specifically, of its GPU.
    (Last thing: About the RAM, this Dell is expeansible up to 16GB. So, if it's the case, in the future, I get some more RAM. Thanks, anyway)

  • Having trouble with Mercury Engine, do I have this right?

    Ok, so after many months of looking for a replacement for Sony Vegas Pro we decided that the Adobe solution was the best option for our needs and bought a license for CS5 and two new machines for our video editing.
    The desktop is a poweful beast with the latest and greatest installed, and we also invested in a new laptop which was custom built for on the road editing. This laptop includes the GeForce GTX285M graphics engine but for some reason the Mercury engine within CS5 is not working with this card.
    Can someone explain why this is the case and what the solution may be? I am new to Adobe software so have I installed evrything correctly or is there something I need to install or change within the program to get the mercury engine working with the card. I have tried the usual route with the drop down for Renderer but it is greyed out.  Help?

    Hardware acceleration doesn't work, officially, with any laptop GPU chipset at this time. Search around here for the "GPU hack."

  • Mercury Engine GPU bug/error/problem

    Hi there
    Im experiencing a very strange phenomenon with the Mercury Engine in hardware mode. I recently upgraded my computer so I am running on new hardware. I ran Production Premium on my laptop and my older desktop, both working without problems.
    My new configuration is a 2600k i7, 16gig Ram, GTX 570. The problem will be best described with screenshots:
    The top image was taken in software mode. This is the correct result, displaying like it does on my laptop and old pc. The bottom pic shows the same frame in GPU acceleration mode.
    1. It looks like the Title texts' edge is shrunk by a pixel or so.
    2. The layer below the text, the strap, is an animated AE composition. It contains a drop shadow at 50%. In hardware mode it looks like its about 20%
    3. I have a 2 pixel 40% opacity black stroke applied to the strap. In hardware mode its almost completely invisible. I think the outline is shrunk as well.
    To make it even wierder, if I click on the Title layer in the preview window in Premiere, ie, if I select it, it suddenly displays correctly. When I deselect it, its wrong. If I open the title editor, the text displays correctly. When I close the title editor, its wrong again in the playback window. The straps all display correctly when I work on them in AE.
    This is forcing me to switch to software mode before I render, otherwise the rendered result is faulty. I'm 99% sure its a CUDA thing.
    Im running the latest nvidia drivers. Any ideas?

    Actually this is how hardware mode works. I know it's wierd but its due to what is called "Linear color/ light processing" Basically it will cause the issue your seeing. Hardware mode handles video this way. Currently you can't do anything about it, sadly. I always just have to make things darker to compensate. The reason it looks correct in titler is because the titler displays the still in software mode, or at least this is what I have noticed so I assumed this a long time ago.
    Basically though if you export your video in software mode then check max render quality when you export it cause the same issue that having MPE+GPU enabled does.  That's because enabling max render quality causes even software mode to use 32-bit linear color processing. So most likely I think this is what is causing the issue you're seeing. You can verify it, by setting your sequence to software mode. Then exporting and checking max render quality when you export, then looking at the end result and you'll see the opacity differences.

  • Mercury Engine Playback grayed out

    I have updated the relevant text file to make my Nvidia Geforce GT 220 card compatible, but I still can't access the Mercury engine playback option in Premiere CS6. Anyone got any ideas?

    Two things if you are going to be using an unsupported card.
    First, make sure it has at least 1 GB of VRAM.  If it doesn't, it will not work.
    Second, you actually have to go through the unsupported cards hack.  It is not supported officially, but instructions are VERY common in the forums.  Here is a thread that has info on the hack. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4840565#4840565

  • Adobe flash don't work in lion

    adobe flash don't work in lion

    I Already tried that. Even tried uninstall and reinstall! Ialso tried uninstall and reinstall of reader then uninstall and reinstall of flash. There is another display quirk with Lion , if I let my mbp go to sleep without logging out or shutting down, I get the last screen frozen. I have to use the curser to erase the area where the login icon is, then I can enter the login pw and get the mbp to be functional again! There are a number of other display related sizes and parameters that randomly happen since lion was installed. UNSTABLE is a good description here !

  • How do I get Front Row to work with Lion?

    Hello fellow Mac users,
    How do I get Front Row to work with Lion? I have an iMac 27 inch computer and is the sole entertainment provider for my bedroom. I refuse to put a TV in my room and wanted to know how to get Front Row to work again on my mac? It seems that the upgrade to Lion erased the app.
    I have quite a few movies and series that I bought off iTunes and is a shame that I can't use a media center app like Front Row on Lion.

    I kind of have the opposite problem. I need to know how to turn off my remote on the computer. I am using the remote for my Apple TV and it keeps making the volume on my Computer go up and down (with annoying sounds).
    There used to be a way to un-sync the remote with the comp but I cannot remember how and the Apple help is not much help! I have Lion.
    Thanks!
    Best,
    Tony

  • Apple Remote stopped working with Lion on iMac

    My white Apple Remote does not work with Lion on my iMac 2.4ghz Core 2 Duo anymore.
    I'm sure it was working recently as I was able to control the volume on my RadioShark application.  Now that doesn't work anymore and I can't seem to get the remote to work with anything. 
    I've tried restarting my iMac, swapping the remote's battery, and using another remote but still no success.  The only response I get is from the remote's 'Menu' button which, when pressed, toggles between two graphics on screen - one a four-way arrow indicator with a centre button, and the other what appears to be a Forward/Back, Centre button with corner indications for Expand/Shrink.
    I've tried the 'Pair' option but pressing 'Menu' and 'Fast Forward' does nothing on screen - no sign of the chain-link 'Paired' symbol. Neither of the white remotes I tried is 'Paired' with the iMac.
    It seems I must have done something to cause this but can't think of any change I made that could be responsible.  I know Front Row is no longer accessible in Lion, but is there any other app I could test my remote on?  Any kind of hardware reset needed? (unlikely, I know, with two separate remotes showing the problem).
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I'm replying to my own question because my remotes are working again.
    I'm not sure what I did to fix the issue, but I tried shutting down all open applications (I remembered that by default Lion re-opens with everything as it was).  And shortly afterwards I got full functionality back for my Apple Remote.
    I'm not sure what caused the issue.  I did install Easy Timeline, which I'd downloaded today from the Mac App Store.  It has Apple Remote functionality, so I'm not sure if it was in some way implicated.  It's working now with my remote, as is iTunes, and RadioShark.
    Weird!
