I'm having source and monitor window problems in 6.5 with hardware
acceleration full on. I've moved from a P4 - 3GHz system with 512 MB of RAM
to a Core 2 - 2.14 GHz system with a Gig of RAM and an nVidia GeForce 7900
GS video card. I've also left my old DV Raptor out of the mix. I was
running it on Windows 2000 Pro and didn't bother looking for drivers for XP
Pro.
Unless I all but disable hardware acceleration everything in the monitor
windows is almost too dark to make out. If I connect the camera, which
feeds a VCR/TV set up, the TV image is perfect, the audio is in sync, and
there is no PC audio output whatsoever. The camera's LCD shows the Premiere
timeline and plays the timeline audio perfectly. If it didn't there
wouldn't be any image on the TV. Only the screens within Premiere are
affected. When I crank down hardware acceleration the monitor windows
return to normal brightness. They are also normally bright in scrubbing,
provided I have "playback to DV camcorder" disabled. When I enable it they
remain dark in playback AND scrubbing, there is no audio during scrubbing
despite enabling that setting, and no audio other than through the TV
speakers. It's maddening because, if I try to adjust my visuals through the
video card I'm told that without hardware acceleration none of these
functions are available. When I open Ultra 2 it won't run without hardware
acceleration. This all makes sense to me. What doesn't is Premiere
degrading overlay quality when hardware acceleration is on. I know 6.5
isn't on a lot of PCs anymore but anyone with a thought is welcome to chime
in, thanks.
