Persistance of Memory?

CubeAce wrote on 5/2/2021, 3:58 AM

I have tried to alter a clip to add a new component to the movement of it within VPX 11. The clip consists of Cookie Cutter to select the area I wish to isolate and show. Size, Position, to place it within the frame of the main movie background.

That all worked well and as it should but the clip itself needed to be rotated anticlockwise by around nine degrees from beginning to end, so I used the rotation plugin. All appears well within VPX and plays and shows as it should. However, the exported video loses the size and positioning of the clip.

I have tried saving the project under another name. Creating a new Frame table, and restarting Windows.

I am perplexed as to why it should play correctly within VPX but not export correctly. I am going to try again and not tick CVE on the export box as that was giving a faster export time this time around.

OK.

Problem is partially solved. Not ticking Calculate Video Effects on GPU has allowed the export to produce the video as it should do. I'm beginning to think there is either a problem with CVE or the program needs more and ore powerful graphics cards to cope with increasing demands to calculate video effects on export at the cost this time around of taking longer to render.

Hi Ray

Works fine here with Calculate Video Effects on GPU (CVE) with VPX 12 set to use the NV GPU (Display mode) - in fact it benefits greatly in terms of render speed.

Did you try clearing the caches before rendering - Edit, Empty undo and cache memory.

Hi John.

No I hadn't. I am trying that now and noticed my expected export time is now longer than before so something has changed. Did you add the nine degrees of rotation to the left from start to end of the 'Hulk' clip with the start at zero degrees of rotation? sorry I did not make that clear in my original post. Have just got to that point of the export. No, it still doesn't work with CVE on my machine.

Hi Ray

. . . . Did you add the nine degrees of rotation to the left from start to end of the 'Hulk' clip with the start at zero degrees of rotation? . . . .

The rotation worked both ways ie from 0 to 9 over the duration of the clip and just set to 9 all the way through.

Double checked - definitely works as you can see in the snippet of the screen recording and exported file - I exaggerated the rotation to 45 degrees.

To confirm settings - Windows Graphics is Let Windows decide, VPX 12 is set to the NV card, HWA is turned on for both options.

Hi Ray,

That information has been in the New Post message along with the part in bold for as long as I can remember. Here is a screen shot that I posted last year:

IIRC, there was a problem with rotation in VPX11, but I can no longer check this and will likely get the same as John EB using VPX12.

Hi John.

I can honestly say I had never noticed that information when posting previous topics so I will have to include myself into the group of those people who do not read everything on a page.😞

So known bug fixes now tend to be fixed only on new versions of the program? At least there is a work around. Well, there are several other work around options but involving more than a few steps and less than ideal.

Thank you for the information. I will stick to my solution for now.

Hi John, Ray

. . . . there was a problem with rotation in VPX11 . . . .

There was and it was also in MEP 2020 - though the issue was with using the rotate 90° buttons, not the dials, and IIRC affected mobile phone footage more than video camera footage.

One thought - are you up to date on the Intel and NV Studio drivers 27.20.100.9466 and 27.21.14.6231 (462.31 in NV number system)?

Hi John.

Odd that it should be linked to using CVE. I wonder if the same was true for the mobile phone footage?
