Situation:
Edius currently doesn´t support Alphachannel technology on
title clips for 3rd party plugins. Once this is supported in
future, also the VitaScene effect will be rendered based on
this alpha channel because VitaScene supports Alphachannel
technology already from Version 1.0.
Workaround:
Until then the only workaround is the use of VitaScene as
standalone version where you can import the title source(s) as
Video A and B, apply the effect and export as a videoclip. This
result can be reimported into Edius finally as viceoclip in the
timeline.
Just create an effect in the Edius timeline by applying the
icon to the timeline. Customize the effect settings.
Now drag the effect from the
'information' palette with holded
left mouse and drop it in the window
"effect" in the right side
area.
Tip:
In case you need to sort in this preset into a specific Edius
folder, please open the category before dragging the effects
icon.
Then you might localize your effect settings more comfortable
in future.
And yu also can create a proDAD favourite effects
library within EDIUS.
The arrow shows where the effects icon needs to be dropped. The
result will be a new effect template.

Backup your current BIOS Settings.
Now in the BIOS modify the value for "non local video memory"*
resp. "shared memory"* to 256 MB or higher.
Attention: (*) Depending on your used BIOS this values naming
can be different. For damages due to improper modifications

General information:
On some systems, the CPU (Central Processing Unit), located on
the motherboard, is responsible for general graphic/video
processing. If no graphics card is installed, all the rendering
of graphics or video, must be done by the CPU.
On a system with a modern graphics board installed, the GPU
(Graphic Processing Unit) assumes the processing load for much
of the specialized graphic operations. A GPU is located on the
graphic card and acts as a co-processor, along with the CPU.As
a general rule, the speed and effectiveness of a GPU is usually
dependent on its age. Modern graphic boards that include newer
GPU's, normally perform many times faster than older graphic
boards.
To evaluate the processor load "Process Explorer v10.21" has
been used.
In the examples below, we used VitaScene (preset #47) to
compare performance
Image #1
The Green Line represents the total CPU usage. The red line
represents the necessary "kernel" processing requirements. The
difference between the green line and the red is the actual
demands that the application, in this case VitaScene, is making
on the CPU
This a modern system with an installed graphics board. Notice
the very low CPU/GPU processor load. Because modern GPU's are
much more effcient in their specialized processing, this allows
the CPU to be much more efficient. As a result, the overall
speed and efficiency of the system is enhanced
dramatically.
Image #2
This is an older system with an older graphics card. Because
there is no GPU to take up the load, the "kernel" processing,
as well as the application processing are pushing the CPU up to
50 percent of capactiy.
This means:VitaScene can be used on older
graphic boards which are compatible with DirectX 9c (just check
with the Check-program in the bottom link). But with older
technology, a performance loss must be expected.But even this
loss in performance, from an older graphics card, will never be
as high as loss in performance that comes from using
CPU-rendering only.Remedy in terms of maximum speed and
performance:Use an up-to-date graphic board. We
suggest that ideally, a PCI-Express board will provide the best
performance.
Very low CPU/GPU processor load using a up-to-date graphic
board in a modern Multimedia-System.
Very high CPU/GPU processor load using an obsolete poor graphic
board in a typical Office-PC.
