Swithing video between 2 stages

I have a NVIDIA geforce GT 640M

I had the same card on my previous machine, and it worked great, so I don't think that is the issue.

Perhaps, deleting your preferences and trying again. (maybe you changed some video settings?)

Hi Dusx,
I deleted the isadora preferences, but but it didnt help. I also played around with the videosettings after that, but nothing improved the situation.

this is a wild guess.. but try switching your actor processing mode (in the 'file' menu).

It seems to be already set to 2, so set it to 1 and test the file..

Then switch it back to v2

Let me know if this has any effect.

I just tried it. Unfortunately there is no differnce in both modes. Not in 1, and not when switching back to 2.

I tried the file on my slow Ultrabook, and it works fine. So there has to be something with my grafic card. But to be honest, no ides waht it could be, or if it there could just be some setting..??

DusX

Its weird.. I had a 640m, and it worked great for me.

Did you say that with V2 everything runs correctly? and with 2.1 not?

Does your system have an integrated video card as well?

I tried it now with version 2, but its the same. Stage 1 stays freezed when I switch to stage 2. I dont have a integrated video card.

I don't know... I'm just pitching things to try now.
But perhaps uninstalling all nvidia drivers, and rebooting with the default VGA driver. Then installing the latest Nvidia driver will bump it into shape.

niknaim

thanks for all your ideas. I just did the hole process, nothing helped. I uninstalled the nvidia drivers-> stage- test negative. I reinstalled the latest drivers, the same ->
tricky thing...

I just wanted to let you kow that I found a workaround for my problem:
A soon as I switch to stage two, normally I have the freezed image in stage one. Now I have a second projectot that plays a blank black movie at that moment in stage one. That seems to overwrite the freezed image of stage one.
