Briefly: when I output a slide show using hardware based rendering, the prior slide doesn''t dissolve away before the following slide appears. So, when a more cropped slide follows a larger slide, the larger prior slide image remains in the background of the second slide when it's rendered. This is on Win7 RTM with the latest NVidia drivers. When I turn software rendering on, the problem appears to go away (I've got more testing to do, but it looks like the problem is resolved using software rendering). Is this a known issue?

This means that your video card is unable to handle some of the transitions. You could try to update your video card drivers.

I'm curious. We have the same nVidia video card and experienced a similar issue (prior image remains in the background of next image) using Hardware mode in Creator 2010. It is not an issue though when I use Creator 2009.
What is the source of the images (brand and model of the digital camera)? What are the attributes of the images (size and dpi)?

Images are coming from a Canon 5D II, raw, post processed in Lightroom 2.5. The images are (max) 1600x1200 hi-quality (no compression) jpegs at 24bpp 240dpi.
I've got the latest NVidia drivers for the card installed. Everything on this machine is fresh, as I clean-installed Win7 RTM just last week. I'm prepared to believe it is the video drivers of course, but if you see the problem in 2010 and not in 2009 (that's an experiment I wouldn't have time to replicate until next week), then it seems likely to be related to how videowave is interacting with the card (and my recollection was correct, this is an 8600 GTS).

Yes, no issue at all for Creator 2009. As you mentioned, it could be an issue relating to the interaction of the software with the video card.

Clearing the proxy cache helped on the preview issue, for the moment. Cache management is pretty fundamental, basic. Aaaargh.

I have exactly the same problem (prior image remains in the background of next image) when using Hardware render mode in Creator 2010. My graphics card is an Nvidia 8800 GTS. The problem exists with Creator 2010 on both Vista and Windows 7, but does not exist with Creator 2009 on Vista (not sure about Windows 7).
The problem can be fixed by installing an earlier version of the Nvidia graphics drivers - Version 182.50 (178.24 & 175.19 also work).
Note: Version 185.85 and all subsequent versions exhibit this problem.

Good tip there, Dave. I have the nVidia 8600 GTS and has the same issue, as I noted in my earlier post. I might try installing to the version of the driver you mentioned above; I just wonder how it will affect the CUDA functionality.
Edited by malatekid, 16 December 2009 - 04:03 AM.
I confirm that rolling back to driver version 182.50 does not exhibit the issue described in this thread.

Maybe this info should be pinned? At least we now know it is a driver issue!

Will do!
For readers, see post #7 above for workaround of the issue described in the first post.
