Question

NewBlueFX Titler Pro?

I'm wondering if anyone here has had a positive experience with this plugin that has been out for a couple months now.  I've been working with it on a trial basis for a few days now. For the occasional quick, text-heavy projects this has the potential to add some interesting animations with the provided transitions & templates and decent customization options. It is claimed to be GPU accelerated, but drags my system down to an absolute dead crawl, even with 24 gigs RAM, 8 cores and nVidia Quadro CUDA to play with.

    I Just upgraded my newblue titler pro 2.0 to 3.0 and I my NLE is premeire CS6 I am not getting my video over lay in the quick edit or designer windows. I was told there was a glitch with Pre CS6 and that's why I can't see my video under my titling. Has anyone else had this problem.?

    Since BVX3001 wanted to know if anybody had any good experience with NBTP - and reading some of the comments - I got very curious. I use both Vegas Pro 11 and Premiere Pro CS5.5 but have only ever used the version that came with Vegas.

    I must begin by saying that NBTP works fine in Vegas Pro on my computer. It is not slow and it works well. So I uninstalled it temporarily from Vegas and I installed the demo version for Windows. I went into Premiere and started fooling around with NBTP. It worked flawlessly: no crash, nice smooth playback, etc. I even created some 3D text and started making it turn and sping. Again, no problems with playback both within the interface and from the Premiere time line.

    Then, I uninstalled the demo version of NBTP and reinstalled the one for Vegas only. It's at that point that I kind of remembered someone saying that the NewBlue transition plug-ins are slow on his computer. I went and tried both a transition and a special effect plug-ins. The transition rendered very quickly but not the special effect. It was the Light Effects Glow Pro. It turned my machine into molasses

    Since I do not particularly feel like uninstalling, reinstalling, uninstalling and reinstalling Titler Pro, I thought I'd ask the people who are having difficulties with NBTP to try creating some titles but without applying any of NewBlue's plug-in transitions and special effects. They might be at the source of the problems.

    I've purchased a copy of New Blue Pro Titler.

    Seems to work great for 2D effects but when I try 3D things slow up and some of the New Blue Templates freeze PP and have caused crashes.

    I know it's nothing to do with rescources as I have plenty of RAM and GPU turned on etc..

    I have a question with New Blue that I have just re-opened (have been away for 6 weeks), actually it was Marcus (see in this post) who I was posting with.

    He said that they are having trouble with some of the effects and are going to pull some of them (hopefully to fix up at later date)

    Hopefully he'll have an answer for me pretty soon.

    Regards,

    Greg

    Yes, unfortunately our first release had a broken transition animation (Sparkle). For the moment, it's been removed along with the corresponding templates. We just posted a new build on Monday that has those removed along with a few bug fixes. If anyone needs it they can get it from our Download page: http://www.newbluefx.com/downloads.html

    NBTP CS6 compatible yet?

    You guys using easily accesible version numbers yet?

    for me:

    - Vegas Pro 11 64bit seems to like it

    - Premiere Pro CS 5.5 just sits there spinning after New Item > NewBlue Titler Pro

    It is claimed to be GPU accelerated, but drags my system down to an absolute dead crawl, even with 24 gigs RAM, 8 cores and nVidia Quadro CUDA to play with.

    This may explain why my 8GB RAM on 4 Cores w/No CUDA can't deal with it.

    Vegas seems to be OK with it but I'd like for it to also play nice with Premiere.

    Were you using our retail version of Titler Pro in Premiere (not the one that comes bundled with Vegas Pro 11)? If so, do  you remember when you downloaded it?

    A few of us shooters/editors were talking about/comparing creating text with BCC Extruded Text, Zaxwerks Pro Animator, NBPro Titler, Boris RED, Photoshop, DJ Juicer, & Bluff Titler.

    After our conversation, I downloaded the trial today from here:

    update:

    uninstalled the version specifically for Vegas.

    (seemed redundant to have one installed for a specific NLE when there's a version for an OS)

    ran Windows Update installing, restarting, installing, restarting...

    changed 3 Monitors hardware placements on 2 Vid Cards.

    changed Primary Monitor via Control Panel.

    New Item > NBPT and it's loading!

    (slow as thick molasses to react when I change parameters, but working.)

    I do not see this as quick and definitely would not use it on any Text Heavy projects as OP suggested.

    Mac version coming soon is also exciting... unless it winds up being only for iFCP.

    Glad to hear that you were able to get it working after all. If you don't mind me asking, how much text and how many effects were you testing with?

    Hi, my name is Marcus and I work for NewBlue. I apologize that Titler Pro is working slowly for you. Can you please give me some more details about the issue? Is Titler itself running slowly when you are creating and editing your text? Or is it taking a long time to render the clips after you create them?

    Hope that the OP (or others) can give you some info to work with.

    All the New Blue transitions I have tried out also rendered as slow as mud. I didnt care for their rather simplistic controls and interface. I prefer After Effects for animating and doing cool things with text. And its free if you buy the Production Bundle.
