I reported earlier that I was experiencing a slower 3d PiP rendering performance with EX1 footage in E.5, E5 being about a third of the speed of E4.6. Not only is the rendering performance slower, but the timeline playback over the area of the 3d PiPs is also much worse than before. Now, despite spending a lot of time trying to identify the cause, I am completely at a loss. Is anyone else experiencing this reduced performance under these conditions?
Starting with a blank HD and a completely new WinXP and E5 installation (no other programs installed) the problem persists. My test was made with 4 x 3d PiPs; playing without rendering resulted in an almost immediate single frame buffer status despite the maximum size buffer being selected as per E4.6, an orange line above the timeline before the overlay and a red line from the start of the overlay; under E4.6 it was a blue then orange line above the timeline and playback was without problems. This test was made using EX1 clips that had been imported under E4.6.
A similar performance drop was experienced with 1440x1080 50i HDV imported under E.5.
2d PiP performance seems to be as fast as normal.
Has there been any change in the way that 3d PiP rendering is executed in E.5 and does the Graphics Card effect rendering speed.? With the X1800XT GPU (512MB) the new GPU transitions seem to be in real time with HD footage.
