Here are the specs on my computer:
Manfacturer: Hew-Packard
Model: s5-1224
Processor: Inter(R) Pentium(R) CPU @ 2.80 GHz 280 GHz
Installed memory (RAM): 6.,00 GB (5:89 GB usable)
System type: 64-bit Operating System
On the current project the playback resolution is 720 by 405 - and with an Mpeg 1 Frame codec
the video plays fine in the preview window.
However, when the project is opened in Speedgrade the video does not play in the preview window.
I checked the Preferences and this is what it says:
Video Device > Mercury Transmit > No compatible devices have been found
nVidia SDI > No compatible devices have been found
Note: For both Premiere Pro and Speedgrade:
Under the Playback Settings for DirectLink it says: Mercury Playback Engine > Software only
Questions:
(1) Even though I do not have an nVidia card, why does the video play in premiere but not in Speedgrade?
(2) If I need to install an nVidia card (for Speedgrade), which one (with the minimum requirements) would work on my system?
Thanks for your help,
Rey
