GTX 560 unable to render effects preview in CS6?

May 16, 2012 8:00 AM

Tags: #effects #nvidia #render #gpu #cs6 #gtx_560

I'm using a GTX 560 with the "hack" to allow for GPU acceleration in CS6, and it generally works fine.  But every time I try to "render effects in to out", I get an error message.  I tried rendering with GPU acceleration disabled, and it works fine.  So I'm guessing the GTX 560 is truly unsupported in this build of Premiere.  Anyone else with a GTX 560 able to confirm this behavior?

    If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys, if you pay money to monkeys, you get rich monkeys.

     

    To add anything more valuable, we need more info.

    In addition to what Harm stated, your particular card may have too little VRAM to render this many effects with GPU acceleration. Most GTX 560 cards have only 1GB of VRAM, which might be too little to do this particular job. A few GTX 560s have 2GB of VRAM.

     

    And what are the resolution(s) of the various effects, not just the main video?

    If I had enough peanuts, I'd be a rich monkey. 

     

    Not sure what else would be relevant here, but these are my PC specs:

     

    GIGABYTE GA-EP45T-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 Motherboard

    Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield 2.83GHz (overclocked to 3.60Ghz)

    16 Gigs Patriot RAM

    5 WD Caviar Black HDDs of various capacity (2 of which are in RAID-0)

    Nvidia GTX560 (using Premiere "hack" for GPU acceleration on unsupported card)

    Windows 7 Ultimate (64 Bit)

    Premiere Pro CS6 (v6.0.0)

    We still need to know how much VRAM is there on your particular GTX 560. You listed only the amount of system RAM in your PC.

    And what source material you are using with what sequence preset.

    Also, make sure you have full permissions control of the drive(s) that you're using for scratch disks.  I've seen this error in the past be caused by incorrectly set permissions.  As an easy first step, It may help to set up Pr to Run As Administrator.

    Cineform is the strange duck here. (No monkeys here to confuse the issue further.) Could the fault be there?

    I just tried recreating the scenario in a different project using the same footage transcoded to JPEG image sequences, and it's still happening.  The source for the multicam clip was also JPEG image sequences.  Would be happy to explore any other possible fixes, or hear from any other users having this issue.

    Did some further testing on this, turning off different layers and have found that the error only occurs when either the Title and/or Letterbox layer are turned on in conjunction with a video layer.

     

    Neither the Title or Letterbox layer will trigger the error on its own.  And the adjustment layer doesn't seem to have any effect.  But when either video layer is turned on with either graphics layer, the error occurs.

     

    Would be interested to hear any thoughts as to why this is occuring.

    Monkey,

     

    Good news that you have the 2GB GTX 560 video card; that should prove to be a good choice when configured properly AND when using Adobe features that ARE MPE (Mercury Playback Engine) compatible.

     

    Regarding why rendering is not working for you, maybe it is the Magic Bullet filter that is causing all of the grief. It would be a quick test to save as a new project, remove that, and see if things work differently.

     

    Also, another suggestion for you, or any user running a relatively new system, would be to go to www.ppbm5.com and run the benchmark test to make sure ALL of you system is setup and working properly. Your scores should align with others running similar hardware in the database.

     

    Regards,

     

    Jim

    Jim,

     

    Just tried this test, deleting the adjustment layer altogether.  Still getting the error.  Even if I remove all effects and only render a single layer of video with either titles or a letterbox layer, the error occurs. 

     

    Playback is still fine (after giving it enough passes to cache everything), but rendering always causes the error.  And rendering without the letterbox/titles works, but is still quite a bit slower than it was in CS5.5. 

     

    One of the most frustrating parts of all of this is that the error doesn't occur in CS5.5.  If I perform the same test in CS5.5, using the same footage, effects, letterbox, etc, it renders out at a fairly quick pace with no hiccups whatsoever.

     

    Thanks for the suggestion, though.  I hope we can find a solution, as I'm otherwise fairly excited about CS6 and would like to continue using it.

    Pardon my ignorance but exactly what is a letterbox layer?  I thoughty letterboxing was done in the encoding process
