Re: Stupid questions regarding CUDA, OpenCL and Premiere 6

[Aindreas Gallagher] "can you give the work scenario where it went down? - material on timeline, HD, 2K etc?"

Most problems came about when I cleared my whole project panel, imported footage (HD prores, C300 test footage) and made a new sequence. There wasn't any video in the source or program monitors and the playback controls didn't work or Premiere would hang up. Also changing MPE settings (I did this for testing purposes) while having a project open is a big no-no. While you can now manipulate effects in realtime some of them will freeze your system so hard you will need to hard reset the computer. This can be done accidentally because Premiere will keep playing pretty much no matter what you do. I got the Mac OS panic when I sent some C300 footage from Premiere to Speedgrade. I was testing Speedgrade and didn't even use Premiere.

For some strange reason the 4K and 5K R3D files worked without any problems. I couldn't get any performance boosts for the red footage with OPENCL. It worked in 1/4 quality just as it worked without the GPU acceleration.
