I think it’s control click that gives you a choice of installing if it’s from an unidentified developer.

Actually I have  a problem with  Premier Pro CS6 on a new 15" MacBookPro is not playing the video with the GPU/Hardware mode enabled.

No video only audio. The waveform monitor  on the reference screen 'sees'  the  video levels as I scrub through the sequence.

Switch the project to software mercury enabled and the video and audio plays.

 

Ran GPU snifer and added the Nvidia GEForce GT 650M to the list in terminal.

 

Tried to install updated CUDA Drivers from Nvidia site but I get blocked with -

 

 "CUDADriver.pkg" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. 

Your security preference allow instillation of only apps from Mac App Store and identified developers.

 

How do I get around this? 

 

Specs.

HD Graphics 4000

Nvidia GEForce GT 650M

OSX10.8.1

 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7

cudadriver-5.0.37- macos.dmg

You have to been in GPU/Hardware mode for it to work. But I’ve tested this at theater screen sizes and it is superior. However, some plugs get very close.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will run a test with the Reduce Interlace  Flicker and  with the 1 pixel Box Blur.

You could also try Reduce Interlace Flicker with about a 0.4

Hello all,

 

I remember some discussions of adding a 2 pixel vertical blur to reduce aliasing in SD video. Any recommended choice of blurs? Fast blur, Gaussian any other favorite filters?

I am using AE to scale 1 minute PSA spots from HD (1920x1080i ProRes QT) to letter box  NTSC (720x 486 QT ProRes).

AE CS6 delivers good quality results. There is occasional NTSC aliasing along diagonal lines in the video.  It was suggested to try adding a slight blur to improve the end results.
