    XPlode Pro

    Hi,
    I hope some one can help me with the following problem, When I drag an effect in from XPlode Pro (3D) and play it from the time line I notice it is very jerky and slow in the preview window in Edius, I checked out some settings in the XPlode Pro effects and came across a section that lets you choose the render settings, They where something like this, T&L + HAL, HAL, T&L ect ect.
    Could some one point me in the right directions for settings on this as I am using a Quadro FX 5500 card and don't understand why the effects are slow and jerky in the preview window.

    Cheers

    Have you rendered the effect? Your video card doesn't render effects it is Edius that will do this.

      Yes

      Yes I have and do not have a problem with that, it is just when you have the effect on the time line and hit the play button in the preview monitor, it is very slow to and jerky to watch, I figured that it may be one of the renderering settings in the Xplode pro settings.

      cheers

      Also the 2D effects don't do this only the 3D ones..

        jerkiness is normal in Edius preview under many circumstances

        if you see the same on a proper external monitor, I will eat a broom

          Thanks

          Thanks Anton, I was just a bit concerned that one of the settings in Xplode Pro was wrong when viewing the 3D effects, as I said the 2D are fine.

            Hi,
            You should use the ATI 2600 xt 512MB or equivallent pci xpress to solve the problem. But there some little setting in 1. XplodePro Config & 2. Xplode Edius Config .

            Before going to the set you should Install the 'Hardware renderer'..or copy the ati dll files for ati support into xplodepro & xplode 'stages' folder

            Render Mode: Draft
            3D Render: ATI Hardware renderer
            Config: Select the '.....T & Hall'

            Thats it, You can get the realtime output.

            Hope it will help you.

              The realtime is in SD only. Just getting playback is one thing, in order for it to be true RT the blue line needs to be above the clip, as opposed to red or yellow.

              Why are you choosing 'draft?' That is the worst quality setting for Xplode and yes, the easiest on the computer. It is ok to use during editing, if you don't mind the quality loss, but for final output I would not choose that setting.
              Randy's original 'recipe' for RT used the highest quality setting while achieving real time. Once again, real time is only obtained in standard definition.

                hi,
                I am not giving up a $4000 graphics card to go down to a ATI, Sorry.
                I am not very fond of ATI cards at all (personal choice)
                And as Jerry said you shouldn't be using it in Draft mode and real time is only in 2D not 3D,

                Cheers

                  Actually, if you use a ATI 2600 HD Pro with the un-official render patch it is Realtime in 2D & 3D (full quality).

                  Since I have upgraded to a Quadro FX card neither is realtime, but love the card for other Apps. so won't go back ..................

                      Well, maybe you already realized that you made a mistake. This card will not do any good for editing, I am not a ATI fan also, but I spent $100 for used ATI X1950XTX with 512 nb DDR4 memory and all the Xplode runs in realtime.I have no prob. with Vita, BlueFX etc.
                      BTW ATI 2600 has 128 bit memory, so think twice if you want it.
                      Also I have a 8800GT card which is only $200, but in every application, exept some of 3D like Maya, Lightwave etc, it will do the same as your $4000 card and maybe even better.
                      Check it yourself, maybe you will be able to get back at least something...
                      Hope you will.

                        Mike

                        How can you say that Mike, Quadro cards are designed for 3d, and rendering ect ect, I found out the problem from Anton and it displays it perfect on an external monitor, I don't want to be rude or anything but I think you should do a bit of research on Quadro Cards before making an opion on them.
                        They have a total different arcitechture than gaming cards do. Paramount Pictures wouldn't use them other wise. Also Prodad who do Heroglyph, Vita, ect that I do reviews for highly recommend Quadro Cards. I am currently reviewing the full NewBlue FX Audio/Video Package and have not had a problem with NewBlue products. The 8800 cards are and I will say again GAMING CARDS for GAMERS.... and I am not a gamer Mike, Quadro's run full floating chipsets ect on the cards and all ports are open not closed like gaming cards. Vita Scene from Prodad take full advantage of Quadro cards because of the GPU.
                        Have a look at this link for a bit more info on them.

                          The next time an argument is created out of Quadro boards, I'm closing that thread.

                          Each to their own - Mike, time to stop beating that drum.

                            Just so you know, the HD 2600xt is a 512mb card for around $70. For Edius and just editing, it does all that is required. I do agree the Quadro's above the FX1700, will do many things on different programs.
                            Different strokes for different folks.

                            Mike,
                            are you getting realtime in 1920x1080, 1440x1080, or just standard with the 1950xtx?
                            If so, is it with the blue line above the timeline?

                            Steve,
                            Are you getting realtime in Edius with the $4,000 card in SD or HD? That may have been what Mike was getting at.
                            If you are not getting realtime with the $4,000 card and you are not getting realtime with a $200 card, keeping in mind that it would just be for Edius, why spend the extra cash.
                            For Maya and the big boy 3d programs, yes the top of the line Quadro cards would be the 1st choice and completely agree with those cards abilities in that arena.

                            Just for comparison with my cards within Edius using Xplode Pro and Vitascene"

                            Quadro FX 1500---no true realtime in SD or HD. Will play through with buffer prefill or on less complicated
                            effects. Will not do full raster 1920x1080 in Vitascene due to 256mb of ram. 512 needed.
                            $600 card


                            8800gts 512------no true realtime in SD or HD. Will play through with buffer prefill or on less complicated
                            effects. Will do full raster 1920x1080 Vitascene effects due to having 512mb of ram.
                            $325 card

                            HD 2600XT-------True realtime in SD only. Will play through with buffer prefill or on less complicated
                            effects. Will do full raster 1920x1080 Vitascene effects due to having 512mb of ram
                            $70 card

                            ATI 1950x--------True realtime in SD only. Will play through with buffer prefill or on less complicated
                            effects.

                            Nothing scientific here just prices for performance. Just stating that if you are using Edius, and ONLY using Edius, an ATI card under $100 will give you True RT performance in SD. HD, well , thats another horse of a different color. Maybe in the next version of Edius we will get RT HD, hope.....hope.
