Different versions of Edius/Neo on same computer

basjoe · 11-20-2012, 09:26 AM

Is it possible to have Neo 3 AND Neo 3.5 on the same computer ? If so, how is this achieved ? I took the upgrade to 3.5, but I miss some of the features of v3, and I still have the v3 disk and license string.

Dual-boot is not something I want to contemplate at the moment, but I'd consider less drastic options. Another option I suppose is just to revert to v3, but I have completed a large project in v3.5.

Best Regards
Basjoe

I think dual boot is your only option, Joe.
What do you miss in 3.5? (I'm using 3, and considering 3.5 although mostly I'm happy with three at the moment...)

I use a caddy system and have Edius 3, 5, 6 , 6.52 on different systems all hotswapable HD prices are coming down again

End of day it requires a different OS instance for each. Whether you implement that as a dual-boot on the same drive, swappable/switchable separate boot drives, or some kind of virtual machine is up to you.

Output quality in Neo 3.5 has been reduced, compared to Neo v3. You can read the gory details in this forum post (titled "Overscan") over at the Lounge http://forum.grassvalley.com/forum/s...635#post198635

I don't think a conclusion has been reached there yet basjoe...

In Neo 3 I think one has to un-check 'enable overscan handling' for all transitions. At least that's what I've been doing. It can be a minor pain, but it doesn't effect the overall quality of the picture, AFAIK. (I often end up doing this in Edius as well, because I forget to change the project settings at start, but that's my fault.)
Interested to know if that's changed in 3.5 so you can't un-check the 'enable overscan handling' setting.

I don't have Neo on me to check, but I'm doubt that has changed.

Just the ability to change the project overscan setting, which is fixed at 3% in Neo 3.5...

rob stowell · 12-03-2012, 11:24 PM

I didn't think you could change project settings in any version of Neo.

Yes, I agree. I spoke out of turn and respectfully and unreservedly apologise.
