Posts: 50 		I am suspecting problem with my graphic card. Once I'm directing character and camera movements and then observing the results of the whole scene everything seems fine, but after rendering the scene and watching the final version it all looks "as if" its moving faster than when I designed it? I know this is not isolate it to Muvizu since I observed the same with other programs I tried out before I found Muvizu. My questions is: Do you think my Video card is too slow? I have an Nvidia quadro FX370 256mb card. on a Intel dual quad runinng at 2.8 , with 8gig. thanks

Indeed it seems your graphics card is holding your system down.

Muvizu uses the Unreal engine technology and 256 MB can limit your work, although it allows you to run software like Muvizu.
I believe that a graphics card with more RAM memory would help you getting a better frame rate.

Please let us know if you have further questions.

Cheers,
Marco

Posts: 50 		One more question: does the time to render has to do with the graphic card too, or is this
independent of the graphic card?

The rendering process is directly related to the graphics card.

When you are rendering a video you will notice that the timeline is moving slower than usual. That is working as intended.

The rendering in Muvizu is not like a "real time" rendering used in video games So even with a good video card you will see the marker on the timeline moving slower than when you are playing back what you've recorded.

Cheers,
Marco

A better video card will help improve the rendering times, but probably not by much.

The rendering in Muvizu is slow as it is in many 3D programs. But that allows you to produce high quality videos.
Although if you upgrade you will definitely notice an improvement on the frame rate which will help you work you scenes.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Marco
