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?

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?

Only NewBlue Titler Pro on the timeline. Generating at Sequence Specs. No Effects.

NBTP definitely looks promising. Now that it's running I'll have to learn it so I can customize specifically for projects and so my videos don't look like everyone else's with the Standard Template look/colors/feel.

I wasn't aware that you could run it Stand Alone as mentioned above.

I thought it was a Plugin. The only Stand Alone option I know of is 'TestHost.exe'.

Maybe this is the cure-all for me as well as the OP.

- What's your workflow for running it Stand Alone?

- Where are the Safe Areas or Guides in NBTP?

_______________

To answer the OP:

- Although my initial experience was dissapointing, my recent experience has me hopeful.

BVX3001 - Does your performance improve when you use it Stand Alone?

I think he might have been referring to a standalone version of "ProAnimator," not Titler Pro.

Yes, right now Titler Pro isn't really designed to run in standalone mode; the Test Host is really there more as a diagnostic tool. At the moment, it can't create / export video files.

However, you could try it out, and if the Test Host works faster for you, use that to design your titles, save them as a Titler project file (*.nbtitle), then create a Titler clip inside Premiere and use the File -> Open command in Titler to open your already created project.

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?

Marcus,

Thank you for responding - nice touch!

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

Your reply in this thread is appreciated and good luck,

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.
