Who should we contact exactly? Could we have an address? What kind of beer do they like? :-)
PB2D GPU Flash acceleration makes PB2D VERY VERY valuable to my new company. I have two important full screen paleo education map apps in the pipeline ready to go as soon as I can get the framerate up from a couple fps in unaccelerated Flash 10 to nearer the toolkit speeds fully embedded in the Flash runtime. We have plans for several other Flash products showcasing PB2D capabilities centered around advanced Earth and Planetary sciences when we can count on dates for these performance improvements - even if just as alpha/beta products; we'd be able to commit to development.
Know you guys are busy these days, but GPU acceleration in Flash would put PB2D back on the serious development map for many of us.
Feel free to forward this to anyone in a position of responsibilty if it is helpful to this cause.
Cheers!

  • CS5 shut down when useing pixel bender

    I have down loaded Pixel Bender and some time it shut down my CS5!! Also get something about the gpu. The image dimensions exceeds the hardware capabilities of your gpu. SO how can I fix this.....
    Keith

    Yeah, the graphics driver is incompatible. That is nothing anyone can change. PB is legacy tech, anyway. You could try this, if it's realyl close to your heart:

    Otherwise I wouldn't bother. Most PB filters are nothing more than half-baked tech demos and I wouldn't consider them usable for production purposes.

  • Mercury Playback Engine: software accel only for 5K Retina iMac, when would Adobe enable hardware acceleration???

    Just curious when Adobe might be updating Premiere Pro CC list of support graphics cards for hardware accelaration.
    The iMac 5K Retina has an optional upgraded AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4GB GDDR5 graphics card.
    But this is apparently what happens in Premiere Pro CC when you start the program on an iMac Retina 5K with that graphics card: the hardware acceleration option is greyed out.

    Looking at this, it doesn't seem that the Retina MacBook Pro's NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M is on the list. And the NVIDIA CUDA driver will give you nothing but heartache (a frequent source of kernel panics).
    You might want to take your question to the Adobe Premiere discussion boad to see if there are any current 'workarounds' -> http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere.

  • Hardware acceleration with Flash Player 10

    I came across an article on potential hardware acceleration enhancements in Flash Player 10:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/logged_in/jchurch_flashplayer10.html
    But I was wondering how to take advantage of this?  Here is the snippet from the article which seemed most promising, however when I set the wmode in the html template, I can't see any changes to my application so I'm guessing there must be more to it:
    Quote:
    In Flash Player 9 Update 3, the first hardware acceleration capabilities were added to Flash Player through hardware-scaled full screen. In Flash Player 10, the same performance gains will be delivered to the browser window through new hardware-based WMODE HTML parameters. The direct WMODE will use your video card to paint pixels to the screen as fast as possible while freeing up your CPU to work on other tasks. The GPU mode works with newer video cards to do much more of the work of transformation and compositing on the video card.
    How can this be achieved?

    hello everybody
    There is on thing I need to know so much ..
    how flash player save settings of hardware acceleration in windows ?
    i.e : when I enable/disable hardware acceleration from flash player 10 ....
    is flash player use registry to do that by saving values and changing them each enable/disable
    or there is another way ???
    I'm sorry if my question is too long but I need the answer so much

  • Does Adobe Pixel Bender work with AE CS6/Premiere Pro CS6

    Hello All,
    I want to create a GPU accelerated video processing plugin for After Effects/Premiere.
    I just came across Adobe "Pixel Bender" here:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pixelbender.html
    It seems to Pixel Bender allows you to code for the GPU in a GLSL-like programming language.
    Can I use Pixel Bender in an After Effects/Premiere Pro CS6 plugin?
    If not, how do I go about using the GPU in an AE/Premiere plugin?
    Thank you very much for any Help,
                                                                    Sumo B.

    I can't speak for Premiere Pro, but After Effects CS6 does not support Pixel Bender directly. However there is a plugin available from AEScripts.com, which allows you to compile and run Pixel Bender kernels from within AE CS6: http://aescripts.com/pixel-bender-kernel-accelerator/
    Incidentally, even in CS4 - CS5.5, where PB plugins are supported, they don't use the GPU when run inside After Effects.
    Otherwise you'll need to delve into the SDK using C++, which is much more complicated but a thousand times more flexible and powerful, and which allows you to code OpenGL for accessing the GPU.

  • Image Processing Algorithms - From Matlab to Pixel Bender

    Hello.
    Got a few Image Processing (Mainly Image Enhancement) Algorithms I created in Matlab.
    I would like to make them run on Photoshop, Create a Plug In out of it.
    Would Pixel Bender be the right way doing it?
    The Algorithms mainly use Convolutions and Fourier Domain operations.
    All I need is a simple Preview Window and few Sliders, Dropbox and Buttons.
    I'd appreciate your help.

    pixel vs float - Couldn't figure out what exactly is the difference if there is at all. I assume Pixel always get clipped into [0 1] and float won't until it gets to be shown on the screen as an output?
    There is no difference between them. At one stage of development we had some ideas about the way the pixel type should work that would make it different to float, but the ideas never came to anything and by the time we realized that it was too late to change. It's #1 on my list of "mistakes we made when developing Pixel Bender".
    Regions - Let me see if I get is straight. For the example assuming Gaussian Blur Kernel of Radius 5 (Not the STD, but the radius - a 11x11 Matrix). I should use "needed()" in order to define the support of each pixel output in the input image. I should do it to make sure no one changes those values before the output pixel is calculated.
    Now, In the documentation is goes needed(region outputRegion, imageRef inputIndex). Should I assume that at default the outputRegion is actually the sampled pixel in the input? Now I use outset(outputRegion, float2(x, y)) to enlarge the "Safe Zone". I don't get this float2 number. Let's say it's (4, 3) and the current pixel is (10, 10). Now the safe zone goes 4 pixel to the left, 4 to the right, 3 up and 3 down? I assume it actually creates a rectangle area, right? Back to our example I should set outset(outputRegion, float2(5.0, 5.0)) right?
    Needed is the function the system calls to answer the question "what area of the input do I need in order to calculate a particular area of the output?".
    I should do it to make sure no one changes those values before the output pixel is calculated.
    No, you should do it to make sure the input pixel values needed to compute the output pixel values have been calculated and stored.
    Should I assume that at default the outputRegion is actually the sampled pixel in the input?
    No. When "the system" (i.e. After Effects, PB toolkit or the Photoshop plugin) decides it wants to display a particular area of the output, it will call the needed function with that area in the outputRegion parameter. The job of the needed function is to take whatever output region it is given and work out what input area is required to compute it correctly.
    Let's say it's (4, 3) and the current pixel is (10, 10).
    Don't think in terms of "current pixel" when you're looking at the needed function. The region functions are not called on a per-pixel basis, they are called once at the start of computing the frame, before we do the computation for each pixel.
    Back to our example I should set outset(outputRegion, float2(5.0, 5.0)) right?
    Yes - you're correct. Whatever size the output region is, you require an input region that has an additional border of 5 pixels all round to calculate it correctly.

  • Color management for flash player with hardware acceleration

    I have tested the color management for flash player 10.2 with and without hardware acceleration (GPU) on different PCs with different video cards.
    Videos that are played via flash without hardware acceleration on PC have proper color as designed in After Effects.
    When I switch on hardware acceleration, the color shifts, for example green becomes lighter, although grey values are OK. I have tried this by writing a  small Flash programme for playing a movie; I wrote two programmes one with color management as described in the article "Color correction in Flash Player" http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/color_correction_as3.html and another one without color management. In both cases I got the same color shift when hardware acceleration was turned on. From the result I concluded that color management does not work when hardware acceleration is on.
    My question is: are there any plans to have color management for flash player with hardware acceleration (GPU) in the near future?
    We need to play complex high definition movies streaming through a high speed local area network that need hardware acceleration to avoid stuttering.

    Hi, LOL at my screen moniker. That's interesting that the FF beta has an Option for that. The only problem, is that I have heard that each browser must UNcheck the H.A. I'm sure you'll find out.
    Hope that works at least for FF. Let me know if you have time.
    I've been checking out Apple TV and Google TV. Just saved the links and some info, haven't had time to go further. I'd prefer Apple TV over Google tho.
    I have a 55" HD Sony/Blu-ray Surround Sound Speakers, etc. I hooked up the VGA cable for Internet, and WOW on the Screen/Monitor!! Now I'm thinking about the iPhone 4 with VZ too, on their pre-order list for 2/3/11!
    Hard to keep up with the Technology, moving faster today for some reason.
    We are under the Snow & Ice warning, getting it now. Hope I don't lose power! If so, I'll be offline for sure.
    If I find anything on that H.A. for IE, I'll let you know.
    Thanks,

  • Hardware acceleration with Aperture 3 on 8600M GT?

    Hi, I'm using an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 8600M GT, and it seems to run pretty slow when I do edits on Aperture 3. I was wondering if it's actually making use of the GPU on the Early 08 MBPs, or only the CPU?

  • Major bug in Hardware Acceleration, flash 10.2+10.3

    Not sure if it has been reported before but there's a huge bug in the hardware acceleration on flash 10.2 and 10.3 beta.
    The issue:
    If you run 1080p youtube content fullscreen, hardware acceleration on, the FPS drop to 30-80% of what it should be, AFTER you seek in the video and flip back and forth fullscreen mode (if you don't do that, it just runs fine). If the FPS doesn't drop, then just flip/back fullscreen some more and seek some more, it pretty soon will drop. Once it dropped, it will stay low for the rest of the movie.
    It's easy to verify when you put the FPS counter ('show video info') on screen, but you can also see it by just closely watching the video and see how it becomes less smooth.
    When you disable the hardware acceleration the issue is gone.
    Tested and confirmed on:
    Win7, winXP
    Chrome, IE, Mozilla
    Flash 10.2 and 10.3 beta
    Nvidia, ATI (both latest drivers)
    So. pretty much everybody suffers from it I guess ...
    Random 1080p test movie here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSGBVzeBUbk

    not sure if what i found out today might be a solution or workaround!? i had a framedrop from 60 fps down to 1 (!!!) while working on a game. it happened every time i touched the stage (TOUCH_BEGIN) in order to start a touch-drag-operation.  Within the Flash-environment i had made sure to publish the game with player-version 10.3. Then i reset the the environment back to the original player that came with CS5. Guess what: The error disappeared!!!! Now the game is running smooth with 60fps !!!

  • Display Driver has stopped responding and has recovered. bsod if I use mercury hardware acceleration

    Hi, I bought a cheap NVIDIA card to go alongside my GTX285 to allow me to use a third monitor for timeline playback. I've done this before with an ati card with no issues but needed to change to a single height card to get the extra slot back.
    It installed it's drivers and then whenever I opened premiere CS6 it would immediately hang and blue screen. I removed the card and rolled back to old drivers but no change. NVIDIA support gave me beta drivers but no change either. They suggested that my card or motherboard was faulty. (Motherboard is a EVGA Sr2) Eventually I found I can edit normally if I turn off hardware acceleration for the mercury playback engine and leave it as software only. Not much use when my GPU supports CUDA.
    Even now the display driver keeps giving me the "stopped responding" message with or without premiere open so I'm thinking there is some hardware issue somewhere. The Blue screen only occurs when I use mercury hardware acceleration.
    I have ordered a GTX470 because I can't afford to spend hundreds on a 690 etc.
    The current driver version is 306.97, error occurs in CS5 and CS6
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Michael.

    The reason the ATI card worked was because that is completely 2 separate drivers. That makes it easier for the OS to sort out the device ID's although that can cause issues with some applications and the ram shadowing done by Win 7 compositing mode. However when you use 2 Nvidia GPU's, the drivers are essentially the same as far as what the OS see's but they have completely different support for things like Direct X. This often can cause major issues with drawing out on the screen. The other issue is the 2 cards may not have resource charts that are far enough apart to avoid resource issues. If you cant return the 470 card then you may want to try a 1GB 620 card for the 2nd video card and see if that will work. That will minimize the resource shadowing and hopefully run the 600 series card in the Direct X version the 400 series card will run.

  • Disabling hardware acceleration resolved issue with Google Maps not loading in Firefox 19

    For the last few days noticed that I could no longer use Googlemaps in Firefox 19. The page would completely load then if I typed a single character into the search box for google maps it would bring up the "Still loading" text and do nothing.
    Followed a couple links on the Mozilla support page and started Firefox in safemode. Maps was speedy and worked fine in safemode. I started again without safemode and tried the simplest step to see if it would resolve the issue and disabled hardware acceleration. All of a sudden maps worked again. The strange part is when I re-enabled hardware acceleration maps continued to work (go figure, makes no sense to me).
    Just wanted to post my experience for others who may be having a similar problem.
    System is Windows XP 32bit
    Cheers.

    Thanks for posting your solution. For other users who may find this thread and need more information, see:

  • Slow start (white frame) when hardware acceleration is on

    When I launch FF4, I see a white windows frame for 2-4 sec before it actually show the interface inside the frame. This is not happening if I uncheck the "Use hardware acceleration" checkbox.
    However, I would like to use it...
    My System is a new Dell XPS14 with a Intel core i5 (integrated HD graphic + Nvidia Geforce M420).
    My windows 7 x64 is fully patched, and I just upgraded both of the graphic drivers...
    Any other ideas?

    '''cor-el''',
    When it comes to just browsing the web it is nothing against turning off the hardware aceleration.
    But in my case i want smooth playback for css3 animations, transition, jQuery.animate() etc.
    In other words i want it to work the same thing as it works in Chrome or any other browser.

  • "video hardware acceleration required" message when opening any game

    Since I upgraded to OS X 10.9, none of my games will play. I also get an error while starting VLC. The message that I receive is "video hardware acceleration required". "Video hardware acceleration is currently disabled due to safe mode operation or a driver error. Please ensure that you have a working openGL hardware renderer and try again. All of these games and apps worked perfectly before the upgrade. Please help!

    In my case this was resolved by turning off display mirroring. It seems that something in Mavericks does not pick up the graphics card correctly when display mirroring is turned on.     

  • Pixel Bender 32bit for CS5 crashes CS5 when I select the plug-in

    I am running Windows Vista Premium Home Edition SP2 on a Gateway Laptop.  I have 2gb of RAM and I have checked and my Video Driver is up to date.  I have un-installed all my other filters such as Topez and now running a clean version of CS5.  I also run CS4 on the same laptop as I am working on converting as I purchase upgrades to my other filters.  Pixel Bender runs file under CS4 but when I install it Adobe Extension Manager CS5 and then start CS5, load an image and then select Pixel Bender, it crashes CS5.
    I have deleted the download and down loaded it again.  I have looked through the forum and have not located a thread related to this problem.  Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thank you.
    Michael

    What graphics card are you using? What are the driver date and version as displayed via Vista's Display preferences?
