Adobe Premier.

Got me puzzled it has.

The idea is to do a presentation to a crowd and show the thing using a
projector plugged into the back of a laptop, using the blue hole.

They don't show the same thing.

The windows that the actual video action in do different things.

The source view window shows the action right enough on the laptop but
you get bugger all but a blank on the projection. Sometimes.

We worked out that during transitions it seems to work fine.

oo-err

I think it is treating those windows, or bits of them, like a monitor
and it is prolly some sort of driver thing but I know **** all about it
and even less about how to resolve it.

Any clues?

 

Ok, what this is - the video is rendered using a specific codec - most
likely, keyed to the video output hardware. What you need to do is get
premiere to rerender the entire production, not just the transitions. If
you're playing from within premiere, it'll be using the original source
video on the unmodified bits (the parts between the transitions) and
they've most likely got regular windows codecs that don't take advantage
of special output hardware.

Premier is assuming the extra monitor should be used as a preview. So when
you press play and stuff, it shopws the video transitions. Set the display
settings so that they mirror each other rather than extend the desktop.

Babelfish made no fucking sense of this at all.

The regular windows codecs bits seems to agree with my ideas.

I am not sure rerendering is the answer as what is going on here is very
early on in the process at the basic editing stage and no rendering has
been done yet. As far as I know.

I don't recall seeing an option to do this. Mined Yew I have only
banged around XP for about five minutes and am not really sure what
shape and colour the clues are yet.

 

Well, when you render the little transitions - it gets converted into the
output codec that you chose for the editing mode - therefore anything in
standard windows avi codecs won't play on the output, whereas anything
newly generated will.

Yeah but...

Has it got a rendering pipe you can send it through regardless?

Cos this is a demo about editing and I really don't see them wanting to
render between sentences if you see what I mean.

 

I don't think so, it usually depends on the video hardware. Usually I do
render entire workspace (not export to video) - I think, if that's an
option. Haven't used it for a few months, so my memory may be off.

Well it all sounds plausible so far so here is your next clue.

The above set of symptoms hold true for all instances except.......
when there was a clip on the video 2 timeline as that seemed to take
precedence regardless of what happened elsewhere.

 

Hmm, dunno then - try holding alt and dragging the current position marker
along the timeline (so it shows the actual output - it renders single
frames that way) so you can tell what's actually happening to the video.

Well I am not near it again until next week now but I will give it a
try.

 

Press the LCD/CTR key on your laptop so that it is only displaying a picture
on the projector and the laptop screen is blank.

Never given a fucking presentation have you. Or if you have it has been
shit.

 

Not my fucking fault your laptop has a crappy graphic chipset and driver
that can only overlay moving video onto one screen at once. I would tell
you to try disabling the graphics hardware acceleration or look to disable
video overlay in whatever program you are using which took all of 15 seconds
to find out on google but I wont.

Snot my laptop and I know it ain't your fault but if you are going to
offer advice then at least give the stuff you do know and forget the
bollox that you don't, you leave that sort of practice to stupid old
cunts like me.

Disabling Graphics hardware?? What fucking planet do you live on, I am
a fucking User ffs! Is that the kind of shit you normally dish out?

 

Rattle alert! A-ooo-gah! Rattle alert!
