Edius 8.22 available

[wags]

I had to install Win 7 SP1 pack before it would install.
Have it set to never update auto.

Please correct me if I have the wrong impression. If one does not use Quicktime player then there is no problem with having Quicktime on the PC. All the problems concern using Quicktime player with videos downloaded from the internet that may have malware etc. So if one never uses internet video on the editing PC or uses Quicktime player there should be no problems. I have changed all association to Quicktime player so it should never run under any circumstances and I intend to keep Quicktime on my PC at the moment.

8.22 looks like a good upgrade.

Or you could just uninstall QuickTime then custom install it and tell it not to install the player part, that way your system can't accidentally use the player as it won't be on your system

Like Anton I think the QuickTime thing has been overblown. As I understand it you get possible vulnerabilities when you play an "dodgy" QuickTime file. So if someone gave you such a file and you played it in EDIUS then maybe that could leave you open to the hack. If you install QuickTime with just essentials installed and no QT player or web components then you could only play such a file in EDIUS.

I have put a couple of videos up regarding the new features and QuickTime which you can see here:

In the QuickTime but about half way through I install QuickTime 7.7.9 and show the boxes I disable if you are in any doubt as to what I mean.

For me the more interesting stuff is the primary colour corrector enhancements and the GPU support.

it's great that the Colour Corrector picks up BOTH my GPUs and lets me choose the more powerful one (similar to DaVinci Resolve).

But it is disappointing that all the other GPU accelerated FX in Edius default to the first GPU on the system and do not recognise the presence of the second GPU.

I look forward to the time when all of Edius recognises the presence of more than one GPU and allows me to choose the most powerful one.

I hope GV is moving in this direction.

It does reconize multiple GPUs's. On my notebook for example I can start EDIUS on either the Intel or Nvida GPU.
I use the Intel when I need quicksync.

You cannot switch once it is started I agree.

You can also set the default GPU in the Nvida app.
Or maybe I misunderstood what you are talking about?

I have two separate video cards in PC slots but I do not have Intel Quicksync.

Only one of the cards has a monitor output as it is a requirement of DaVinci Resolve that you must not connect any output to the second (more powerful) card.

The Edius Colour Corrector sees both video cards and allows me to tick box whichever I wish to use as the GPU to be used by it.

Every other available GPU-accelerated effect only sees the default card - the one with the monitor output.

No matter with which GPU you start Edius on a notebook you can choose one or the other for the primary colour correction. Very nice.

My point was: that is not nice enough!

EDIUS no longer requires QuickTime for Windows to import / export certain still image and video formats. The following functionality is supported:

Still Image File Formats: BMP (export only); JPEG; JPEG2000; TIFF; PSD; PNG; SGI; GIF;
GIF89a; JFIF; sgi RGB

MOV Video File Formats: ProRes, MPEG-2, H.264/AVC, MPEG-4, HDV, DNxHD/DNxHR,
Grass Valley HQ/Grass Valley HQX, DV/DVCPRO, Motion JPEG, Uncompressed 8-bit
YCbCr (2vuy), Uncompressed 10-bit YCbCr (v210), Uncompressed 8-bit RGB

Great news! I noticed that I no longer have to convert my .mov files!
I used to have to convert them to avi which made everything take longer. Hooray

Regarding the GPU acceleration for primary color correction, does the speed of the card make a lot of difference if edius would use the high end gtx1080 compared to a lower end gtx950 or 960?

I read 8.22.623 release notes and note Settings > Importer > QuickTime > Enable QuickTime Importer has a box which is unticked. I understand with it unticked Edius still supports MOV DNxHD.

Yes or No?

Today Edius rejected about 50% of the clips I rendered from Resolve.

I do have full QT installed and intend to keep it, it was simply an oversight that I had not yet got around to ticking that little box in Edius, but what threw me was because half of the clips imported fine I never thought it might be the cause so went looking for a problem which didn't exist.

Eventually I checked the box in Edius to enable QT, it then accepted all the clips, not just half of them.

Hey but they are all the same type! They were all from the same Resolve timeline, went out all together in the same render as 'individual clips', using 'Avid QT DNxHD 1080p 145/120/115 8-bit' format.

I thought this format is supposed to be supported without need to turn on "use QT"?
