muvee Reveal 8 is actually NOT working with CUDA

Today I've read about a new cool application called muvee Reveal 8 that is designed to help normal users create professional looking home movies without any hassle. And the new version 8 is supposed to support NVIDIA CUDA-enabled video cards to make the video compression in H.264 format thus accelerating the export of the final movie up to 8 times. Or so the marketing says and since it got my attention I've decided to try the application to see how well it performs and how good the CUDA support has been implemented... • • muvee Reveal 8 indeed does what it really is designed for - really making it very simple to create very attractive videos from the clips you took with your camcorder or even some pictures taken with a digital camera. You can also add in music support and everything will be stitched nice and easy into a professional looking video in some of the predefined styles you have available to choose from. So far so good - you can actually see how easy the program is to use in the first part of the video and in the second you can watch the final product you get in a few simple steps. • • But there is one simple problem - it seems that the CUDA GPU acceleration is not working for 720p and 1080p videos as you can also see on the video. I've tried it on 3 different PCs with different operating systems and CUDA-capable graphic cards with the same result - nothing gets compressed! The program seems to be running, but the video is not being compressed and the progress bar is stuck at 5% with nothing actually happening. With lower resolution it seemed that the processing started, but with the two cores of the CPU at 100% loaded and the process taking the same time as you get running on the CPU only. • • So I'm asking here why did muvee along with NVIDIA make so much noise around an application that actually seems to be having trouble running the CUDA acceleration... or at least the Trial version available on the official website. After trying the muvee Reveal 8 I was actually impressed by the results you can get with the application, but was very disappointed from the GPU acceleration not working! So do you think I would buy this program, even after liking what it does - NO, I won't! • • Update: muvee have released a new build of Reveal 8 that seems to fix the CUDA issue, so you can now download and try it with the GPU acceleration! • • More at: http://hwspirit.com
