...it was flawless. Completely without a hitch. I figured I would add some positive vibes to give hope here. This is not a fresh system or install. In fact, I installed Build 521 over 10.0(e). I have a lot of other applications installed, but I keep my system defragged, Win7 updated, drivers updated, and routinely cleaned.
I just finished a 45 minute piece, my own little torture test. At least, it was absolute torture to edit. The 1920x1080p (23.976 fps) timeline consisted of:
- Cineform avi (all cuts and dissolves, a few Sony flashes for transitions)
- generated media (solid colors), titles (plain vanilla Sony titler)
- one PNG from Ilustrator
- several nested veg's that were PSD sequences exported from After Effects.
All of these were distributed among 25 tracks that I grouped into 10 groups.
FX included:
- Magic Bullet Looks 2 on ALL video footage
- smattering of BorisFX
- NeatVideo on some dark clips
- Mercalli 2.0 on a lot of handheld clips
I think the FX caused a lot of crashes during editing, so my hopes were low for rendering. I set color depth to 32-bit, RAM preview to 56MB, and rendering threads to 2. GPU was off since I have an old card. I rendered to a Cineform avi (1920x1080) without a hitch some 8 hours later.
Late in my editing, I had uninstalled 10.0(e) 64- and 32-bit versions. The experience in Build 521 seemed to be a bit smoother and less crash-prone after the uninstall.
I'm just pleased as punch that my render on a long form (for me) project went as it should. In previous builds, even 10.0(e), Magic Bullet Looks and the 32-bit color depth in combo would just torpedo my renders. So far in Build 521, I've had no problems, though I got nervous as I watched my 8GB of memory get chewed up.
