Lost Xplode 3D transitions

[tingsern]

What your model of the GeForce card you have? It might not have enough horsepower to do 3D ...

Please note that nVidia Quadro and GeForce cards don't use the same device driver.

OK! So this could be the problem! I have a GeForce! :(
Thanks

My NVidia Quadro is a PCI-e card (PCI-express 16). It is not a PCI-X (64 bits PCI).

As for drivers - I can't remember right now. BUT - I know it is NOT the latest version available for Nvidia Quadro.

Thanks!
I will retray with my Nvidia..

EDIUS 5 and VISTA does not run XPLODE anymore.

It is on my other partition with EDIUS 4.61 and WIN XP 32 - using Nvidia driver for my display card - it works. I use the NVIDIA 3D configuration program. Please see the h/w in my signature.

Having said that, I am now in the process of decommissioning EDIUS 4.61 - only one project left - waiting for client to come back to me. Everything else is now being done on EDIUS 5.11.

OK!Thanks!
Your nVidia Quadro 3500 is PCI-X card?
On the WinXP partition you use also the last nVidia drivers?
THANKS!

Xplode Also with 5.11?

May I add that - on my system - the XPLODE for EDIUS (both 2D and 3D) transitions are real time .... hence, I am not sure what the other folks are complaining about :-).

So you use the in the GLOBAL Configuration/3D Render
the NVidia Reference Driver Render??

and which version of the Stages\D3D7NV.dll you have? Is this the 2.1.2.4 Version or newer?

I tried this on my Nvidia Card..but nothing.. only BLACK! :(

Thanks

Canopus and now GV trying to avoid discussion on this subject. nVidia and Xplode (both- Edius and Pro) cannot work properly with those cards. The only thing you can do (if you are not moving to ATI card), switch render to universal in settings of Xplode/ Xplode Pro. Say Goodbye to realtime and hello to stupidity of real life.

Not at all... The team that created Xplode has been gone for years now. It has been discontinued.

New Cards come out and because the development cycle is over nothing is done to tweek the code.

There is not a whole lot more to say! :)

Mike,

Just reloaded XPLODE into my EDIUS system ... tested it - I DON'T have a problem with XPLODE transitions. It works ... and I am using nVidia PCI-E (Quadro 3500) card.

On my system, I don't even render the XPLODE transitions - it just goes fine. I test the 3D Cube Spin, Sphere, 3D Dissolve, ... all working.

You can say "different", but do not say "much better" I use Vitascene too. But what f your customer love turning cubes, or you have to add a hundred of different transitions between photos and you have to do it fast...
I love Xplode Pro and I need it or similar replacement. But right now I am asking about temporary fix for PCI-E nVidia cards, that maybe, I repeat- maybe, Mike brought from Japan...

[tingsern]

I don't think XPLODE will survive past EDIUS version 4. I don't even install XPLODE on my system anymore. Look for better tools (ProDaD Vitascene is what I use now - much better).

[mike0130]

Mike,

the Xplode transitions were never intended to be realtime. We did get some with the ATI render engine but they were never advertised as realtime so there is really no shame on anyone here.

Now, with that said, I do understand your pain. I have noted what you have said and I am taking it with me on my trip to Japan next month.


Mike

Mike, any news on the subject?
Thanks.

My graphic card is Navidia 8800GTX 600M 768MB Dual DVI TV XT and CPU Intel Core duo 6700 -2.66 GHz with Edius 4.24 and have never used Xplode Pro Transmissions in real time. It only takes seconds to render them. It was the same when I used a dual Zeon set up. I never found them to be real time.

When I had my Storm2/FX5700/Prescott setup, it worked totally RealTime..Now I bought a better system and well, they render in seconds! (though I'd like the Premiere overlay to work, but c'est la vie!)
