I Think I've temporarily stumped the good folks at Boris. Let me say that Tim Doyle has been fantatstic in his communication with me about this problem.
I'm laying it before you guys to see if anyone else has had this problem. It appears Boris just can't handle the load, but it seems easy enough; just a fairly light load of Z-Space compositing.
WARNING! Anyone interested in loading this project, note that the material used is A) Copyrighted material that I found on the web - don't worry about that in this case; this project is just a "proof of concept" to see if it can be done. And, B) The material is mostly scantly clad women, some in provocative poses. If you have ANY quams about seeing this kind of PG13/R material, don't try to load this project.
All material can be found at www.matthewroddy.com/BorisProblems
Just load the elements and project, try to view the project in Boris. It will likely crash (just the program, not Windows). If it doesn't immediately crash, congratulations, you're half way there. Now, boost the resolution to Best/Full and it WILL crash. If not, by golly, let me know what I'm doing wrong. Also, if you can get this project to load by using Low/Quarter, you should be able to scrub the timeline (which looks cool to mine eyes), but when you render, you will crash 10 out of 10 times.
If I REALLY want to do this on the Vegas timeline, it will be a mild nightmare of individually moving each element. And even at that, the movement will be artistically arbitrary and not mathmatically correct (which, I believe looks best to the eyes). So, before you remind me that it CAN be done in Vegas, I understand that. If you tell me it can EASILY be done in Vegas (like it was in Boris), I'm all ears! (Well, eyes, in this case.)
So basically, I'm just looking for someone to confirm that this is a problem on more than my two systems. Your input and advice will be most welcome and appreciated - especially you with more than 1 gig of RAM (which is what I have, running under a P4 2.8 with Nvidia Quadro 4).
Thanks for listening!
