Strange playback issue when GPU accel on.

Premiere CC - all latest updates. Nvidia diver - latest 337.88
not had problems before. Video exports fine. Just weird when playing from timeline.
Here's the sequence how it looks when paused:
Here's what it looks like as soon as I hit play:
I had changed the origins of each of the 4 video tracks to 0,0 and then positioned them, it almost appears like using CUDA it ignores the origins of the 4 tracks.... if I turn off GPU acceleration, plays fine.
Any ideas?

Playback and Rendering issues when GPU acceleration is enabled

I'm using the new MacPro with dual AMD FirePro D300. When I enable GPU Acceleration (Open CL) I can no longer play through an entire sequence. It specifically has issues playing through any layered graphics or titles, but seems to play with those disabled. I have tried having "Composite In Linear Color" enabled and disabled, and neither seemed to make a difference. It's the same deal when rendering. If I have titles, and use GPU Acceleration it jumbles clips, cuts to black or static, all manner of weirdness. Is there something I'm missing?
An example of what playback looks like if I have titles and GPU Acceleration enabled.

This computer thing seems complicated enough that if your system works better with GPU accel off, that's you best performance. I understand they've been trying to sort out these sorts of issues but there's so many dang variables, and trying to build software that interlinks with other complicated software is something no other NLE or Grading program does. That throws even more kinks into the list.

Audio playback issues when editing quick swipe comp folders.

My new Imac running ML 10.8.2 is having issues when I want to edit drums tracks that I have grouped together. I recorded the tracks before grouping them. After opening group settings and checking the 'editing (selection)' and 'phase locked audio boxes' I get a spinning beach ball for 10sec. I then expand my take folders to start editing and the computer performance becomes very sluggish and playback stutters and crackles, sometimes turning well recorded drum tracks into a non recognizable mush as various tracks are playing at once. It appears that when I group the tracks together prior to recording and check the necessary boxes that quick swipe editing works fine. When I open old projects on my new iMac that were recorded running Snow Leopard and my old MacBook Pro that use comp editing, it all works smoothly and I can continue editing no problems. So does this mean that these new tracks are somehow corrupted? How can I rescue them? I can't figure it out! I used to be able to set up groups and edit after recording raw on my old setup, surely this is some kind of bug caused from the upgrade to 10.2.8 and/or Logic 9.1.8? It's nothing to do with my Pro 40 interface I don't think as I unplug it and the problem is still audible through built in speakers. Might the recording be corrupt due to connecting Saffire pro 40 via a firewire 800 to thunderbolt adapter?
I've tried copying/pasting regions into a new project, the regions are all the same length, there are no plugins on the channel strips, the recordings sound fine until I try to edit them, sample rate is consistent (24/48). The main difference to making editing possible seems to be grouping prior to recording or not, which shouldn't make a difference should it? Anyone who can shed a little light on this situation, I will be forever appreciative to! I've got work that needs doing ASAP!
My setup is:
iMac, i7 3.1Ghz, 16GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Mountain Lion 10.2.8
Logic Pro 9.1.8
Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 (connected to thunderbolt port via thunderbolt==>firewire 800 adapter)

Anyone?
This is serioulsy BS, it was all working fine before I went and upgraded everything and now it is worse than prior to upgrading. That's not how it's supposed to work.

Strange layers issue when printing

Hi Guys,
I am having a strange issue which is probably easy to fix however I am not a heavy adobe user and dont know where to start.
This is the rough process to explain my point but a summary is - when printing PDF files they do not appear as they do on screen.
A picture/document is created in Adobe Illustrator, an outline PDF is then created and saved
I can open the outline PDF successfully, in newer versions of PDF Reader (v8+) the PDF displays on screen correctly. In older versions the PDF is missing lines or various things.
If I print this PDF all these lines etc still missing. I know this sounds vague but I will try and explain.
An example is this - the document is a black box with a silver smaller box on top in the centre. On the screen it shows correctly. When I print, the black box is printed with no silver box.
I have just discovered that the silver box is actually printed however its printed in the background so I think its got to do with layers? If I make the black box to be white, and then print I can see my silver box, so its clear it has been printed in the wrong order.
Oh another thing I have found is the default format for saving PDF files is v1.5 if I choose an older version, the layers are printed correctly
I have both Adobe reader installed on Mac's and PC and the issue happens on both
Surely all the printers I have can't be all in-compatible
Printers:
Kyocera KM-4050
Kyocera FSC5200
Canon MX850
Lanier MP2500
Lanier MP2800

This is not a scanning resolution factor and I have been scanning this way for years. These scans are not photos but documents. This problem just started. And as I said before, the problem also occurs when doing a save as from Illustrator, as well as supplied files from clients, so the scanning process has nothing to do with it. I just can't get them to print right.

HTML5 playback issue when playing lots of html5 videos on a single page

Hi,
I've got a use case where I need to play 48 to 150 videos per page and number of pages could be from few to thousands. I use html5 for video playback.
The video tag I use is the below one:
<video width="20" height="20" autobuffer controls preload="none" ><source src="MY_VIDEO_WITHOUT_EXTENSION"type='video/webm; codecs="vp8,vorbis"'></video>
I have an Apache http server serving the videos. I store the videos without the extension so I've modified the httpd.conf and added "DefaultType video/mp4" since all videos have been transcoded to mp4 with h.264/mpeg-4 with AAC audio.
I created a simple html with the above video tag repeated 46 times with each having a different source. The videos are of varying lengths from few minutes to close to an hour. I noticed that I can play the first few videos - around 15 of them. I pause each video before playing the next one. After 15 videos or so, I start seeing the loading icon and the video just won't play no matter how long I wait.
I used firebug to see what's happening and noticed that it is waiting on the GET request. I see no incoming requests on the apache server logs for those failed videos.
If i reload the page and play those videos that didn't play earlier they would play without any issue till I reach the number of videos i've selected to play around 15 or so and then the problem starts again. The problem is not with the videos since they play at one time or the other based on what videos I choose to play first. I have no other tabs open that may interfere with this.
I noticed that I do not have this problem on Google Chrome, all videos play without any issues. So, it looks like it is a firefox issue. I have the latest FF and Chrome btw.
I added "browser.cache.memory.capacity" property and set it to 1GB but it still didn't help. The memory and CPU usage on the task manager is not significant enough to be the cause of this issue. I have 32GB RAM and 6core CPU. And its not just my desktop, its several other desktops that have this issue.
Even if I remove the codecs and use type='video/mp4', it doesn't work. I've tried removing autobuffer and it behaves the same.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
-G

Sorry,
The video tag I use is the below one:
<video width="20" height="20" autobuffer controls preload="none" ><source src="MY_VIDEO_WITHOUT_EXTENSION"type='video/webm; codecs="vp8,vorbis"'></video>

Strange graphics issue when looking at JPGs in Safari and Preview.

I am having an issue in Safari and Preview under OS X 10.4.11. I have the exact same issue in both Safari 3 and 4(beta). The blacks on JPG images aren't black they are a dark brownish grey, all other colours show up properly. If I open the same website in Flock everything looks fine. If I download the image and open it up in Photoshop the image also looks fine. To make it even stranger if I open the image up in photoshop and re-save it as a tif file and open the tif file in Safari or Preview it looks normal. It just how it's handling JPGs!
See the following link for an image showing the issue... note the dark brownish grey colour around the watch:
http://c77ilw.blu.livefilestore.com/y1p66KB-yBArvIBleY3s1wGZ8EgAyxRd8VLnJ9XA9zJz gPUgIBbvM5aSqPz59g1nC5TehmACKYCw/Picture%201.png
Now look at what it's supposed to look like:
http://c77ilw.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pLSnu9AVt-IrsQNhBYUAS6OAAGQU2Tm7H8P9JPp9ba h4Y9wJR9bRYAGu6gLBodHXwGZaPqtzSUyI/1236465600.jpg
Any ideas? I've tried googling everything I can think of about this issue and haven't found anyone with the same or similar situation.

I believe it to be an issue with how Safari and Preview are displaying colours under OS X, the strange thing is about 4 weeks ago I had not problems with Safari displaying these types of images and can't think of any settings I changed around that time. Safari under Windows does not show this issue and it is not showing the issue on a different Mac running Safari under OS X 10.4.11 either, so it has to be a setting somewhere that inadvertently was changed I think.
Again it is only showing on black and near black colours no other part of the image is affected.
Below is a link I made in photoshop comparing a screen grab of the issue (top half) vs a downloaded copy (bottom half) of the image with raised curves to accentuate the difference for those who may have darker gamma settings and are having trouble seeing the problem.

Strange audio issue when running render queue via script.

The issue I'm having with AE is odd, and I'm hoping someone may be able to shed light on the matter. I have a very simple composition that, when I render out using the GUI, everything works as expected. The video renders fine, the audio renders fine, etc. However, when I invoke a script that runs the .aep file, sets the render queue for the composition in question, and then renders it, only the video comes through, but no audio. There is nothing in my script prior to the setting up of the render queue that alters any audio layers (i.e. no code shutting off audio, etc.) Has anybody ever encountered this? The audio file is a .wav in 44.1KHz, 16bit, stereo, and will try other formats to see if the problem might with the file itself? Although, I don't see how that would be the case if it is rendering just fine via the GUI.
Any help you can offer for troubleshooting would be great! Thanks for your help and time!

Thanks for your suggestion. It wasn't the output module. I created a custom template for it and ensured the audio was checked. It was an odd fix. I deleted the audio layer, then dragged it back to the timline. Then, it worked. Cost me like two hours of work for that, and I should have checked it earlier. But I still don't know why the original wasn't working.

WRT54G Strange connection issue when wireless security is enabled

The model # is WRT54G v2.2 with firmware 4.21.1. I knew that my internet connection was good because I connected my laptop directly to the wireless antenna. When the antenna is connected to my wireless router I can't connect, wired or wireless. I decided to reset the router and program back in the changes that I have made. I checked for internet connection after the reset, it's there. Made more changes, still good. Then when I enabled wireless security using WEP the wired and wireless internet connection goes away. Any ideas to fix this. Can I go back to the previous version of firmware?

hi... go to ftp.linksys.com/pub/network and try downloading older firmware for the router and downgrade the firmware, after that reset the router back to factory default settings and reconfigure it...

Strange PDC issue when inserting compressor on a group with side chain

Hi Forum People!
Seem to have hit a brick wall trouble shooting this issue, and hope someone here can help.
Whenever I insert a compressor on a bus, and send a sidechain trigger to the compressor, PDC stops working for all multi-output synths. I can sidechain stereo tracks without an issue, but not group tracks with mutliple tracks routed through the groups.
For the record, as soon as I remove the send to the sidechain, PDC works normally.
Is this a limitation of Logic's PDC, or is there a workaround that I haven't discovered?
Many thanks for your time
Steve

LOL! Sorry, didn't have time to respond yesterday. The problem was the way in which I'd set-up the group. Here's how I had the group set up, which broke PDC:
I created an auxiliary track (the group), inserted a compressor, and routed my drums direct to this group.
Here's how I fixed the problem:
instead of creating an aux channel for the group, I routed my drum outputs through an unused bus, which in turn created the group channel automatically.
I've only been using Logic for 1 month, having used Cubase for nearly 20 years, so realizing some things are done very differently.
Thanks chaps!

Strange quality issues when saving for web and devices.

Im a UI designer and spend lots of time working with illustrator and photohop. When I design I normally create vector mockps of my work and then export slices using artboards and save for web and devices. Yesterday Illustrator started having problems exporting files. The files look good on my computer, when viewed with pixel preview mode but when i export they look really bad. here is an example:
This is a screen shot of a part of a mobile app im working on at 100 % and 200 %
here is the same area when exported using "save for web and devices" at 100% and 200%:
as you can see there is a dramatic loss in quality. the icons look almost like a low color gif...
Here is what I have tried already:
I have tried changing the settings in the exporter. I normally use png 24 but I have tried all the different settings and they all do about the same thing. the only one that seems to look ok are swf and svg.
I have copied my files over to photoshop and exported from there. that works fine but it is a pain.
any help would be great.

Audio playback issues when playing video

I have the most recent version of Itunes and have played video before with no issue. But today, I am unable to get sound from any of my videos in itunes only. I can watch other videos online with no issue.

Lots of people are having this issue. Look around on the boards. Try uninstalling and then reinstalling Quicktime:

Strange alignment issue when making composition...

I have altered the blank composition and have placed the target below the trigger, but no matter what I do, they won't align on their left/right sides. It snaps to what I am guessing it considers the edge, but as shown in the image below, they aren't aligned. I also check the X coordinates of each piece and it says they are the same. Both objects have a fill but no stroke. I don't have this problem with regular shapes, so I have no idea whats going on. Any ideas? Is this just a bug? The x and y valuse in the image are as Muse reports them.

Please send a copy of the file into [email protected] and link to the forum thread here. -j

Playback issues when combining 2 Quicktime movies

Hello All:
I have been processing a short 4 second ID video to combine and place at the head of various QT movies as branding.
While, most have continued to add (copy/paste) these ID movies and play them into the following movie content several continue to only present a WHITE blank leader of 4 seconds, then play the movie content fine.
I have Perian installed, running QT Pro 7.6.4 on 10.4.11
have re-exported my ID video and pasted in again at the head of these certain videos and still not playing.
have gone into Movie inspector and can see the track, but it remains UNCHECKED and won't accept enabling......hmmm
solutions appreciated!
Lux

hey again:
I'm pasting these short ID clips into existing 264 MOV files....some work, some don't play the head
but show that disabled video button in the Inspector menu
I am using the EXPORT function to save the final output clips, as it offers QT selections on Stereo or Mono sound and internet header....
I will try the whole process on a test file and SAVE AS (self contained?) in Quicktime and see what happens
thanks again

Adobe, please stop running from this issue! (GPU vs CPU anomalies / fades)

Adobe,
I have tried to bring this issue to light many times, and your own users have argued it ad finem, but to no avail! I am TIRED of getting terrible alpha blending (and opacity curve) results with GPU acceleration enabled, vs CPU. In fact, it is SO BAD that I NEVER work with GPU acceleration any more.
Here is the issue:
When GPU acceleration is enabled, you simply CANNOT do a smooth fade and/or cross dissolve. It appears to fade down smoothly to about 20% opacity, and then the next frame it will jump right to 0% quite abruptly and disappear. It's almost as if the fade simply gives up and switches off! Regardless of whether you use Cross Dissolve, or Film Dissolve the results are the same. Also, your alpha blending is all messed up, CLEARLY showing a different result when comparing CPU and GPU rendering outputs. Once again, this issue ONLY exists with GPU acceleration ENABLED. Switch off GPU/MPE and the problems disappear. But of course you lose the speed and other benefits GPU acceleration offers, which would be great to have! Especially seeing as I have also heard (from various other resources) that GPU acceleration can improve the quality of rendering out to compressed formats like H264. But we will never know that, will we? Because, every time I enable GPU, my fades and blending looks noticeably bad!
I have seen in various other threads that your response has been along the lines of: "That's just the way it is". But unless your name is Bruce Hornsby, this response is unacceptable! You cannot advertise a "great feature" of your products (in this case, GPU/MPE), yet when people try to use it and see odd results, simply tell us: "oh by the way, yeah, it does not work in a few scenarios, like fading, but otherwise you are good to go!" The way I see it: cross-fades (even fades in general) as well as opacity/blending are some of the most common, if not THE most common techniques used in video projects! Having an anomaly of this nature showing a DISTINCT difference in quality output when one of your fantastic "features" is enabled is just poor form. What is evern poorer is your responses (or lack thereof) related to the issue. Especially seeing as this problem has been present since CS5, and now we are STILL seeing it in CC!
Here is a thread which documents the issue well (even shows examples, and other details someone prepared for you to apparently ignore):
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/773441
...it was never addressed there.
Another issue which details it going back as far as CS 5.5:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/987306
...once again, never resolved.
Now I am using CC, latest version, up-to-date, a fast i7 processor, a CUDA supported card, and all of those go to waste because I have to have GPU and the mercury playback engine disabled to yield decent quality results.
I implore you, not just for myself, but on behalf of everybody here who has already addressed this issue, but has had their pleas fall on deaf ears: PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM. Telling us simply that: "This is the way GPU cards choose to render" is NOT ACCEPTABLE. It's just like me saying when I drive my car on the wrong side of the road: "that's just the way I drive!". Doesn't mean it is acceptable!
You may have won people over since Final Cut Pro screwed the pooch with version X... but I can guarantee if this does not get resolved soon, the issue won't just be isolated to the forums here. Expect to read about it in MANY online publications that I am sure your competitors will ENJOY watching!
Mat.

Indeed. Yes Adobe, please explain.
And here is an example of what I am talking about:
CPU only (MPE and GPU DISABLED):
This appears to be what I would consider accurate, as it is not only well blended, but the fades work smoothly thanks to it relying on the CPU...
GPU (MPE and GPU ENABLED - Linear Color ON - as per default):
This provides identical image quality/blending results as the CPU only benchmark. However, the fades are very abrupt, as per the original problem...
GPU (MPE and GPU ENABLED - Linear Color OFF, as per your recommendation):
This is your recommended solution. The fades are as smooth as they are in the CPU version. But as you can see the color, alpha and blending are VASTLY different. Actually, it looks HORRIBLE! The BG text is barely visible, and the foreground text appears to be more prevalent over the top of the back layer, making its fade-up quite disjointed and selective.
...So as you can see, the "solution" you provided seems to create more problems and/or inconsistencies in the overall output. Now we have no idea what is the "standard"!
I personally find these inconsistency's very concerning. And I am sure I'm not the only one. Please tell me there is actually a logic to this "solution" and it wasn't a simple duct-tape fix that nobody there at Adobe actually looked deeper into to see exactly how it would effect overall image quality! It sure appears that way!
I appreciate that you, Kevin, are not directly responsible for this issue, and you are indeed a representative trying to help. But please realize that for many of us here, we are LONG time Premiere users, with years of experience and influence in this industry, and this definitely isn't our first rodeo! When we flag these issues we do so out of a REAL need, which means the consequences Adobe faces as a result of not addressing these issues are equally as REAL! As such; I encourage you to expedite the process of resolving this issue, because it has been prevalent since CS5.5, and the fact that it is not been resolved and/or has been addressed poorly does not bode well for your overall reputation. Especially when you are trying to make Premiere the industry standard. Like I said, I would hate to have to look at alternatives, so give me a solution, because if I decide to move on from using Premiere, I won't be the last. And no, I am not being melodramatic here. If a piece of software cannot seem to get something as simple as fades and blend modes right (or at least CONSISTENT), how can the software be trusted to handle high-end workflows? Food for thought.
Mat.
