Hello Dafydd
This does look promising with regard to the very long waits for a Pixelan menu to come up
I did some quick testing and compared the menu opening times for the special Cyberlink Fade2 transition and for Pixelan's 3D Six-Pack, DissolveMaster and SpiceMaster PRO 2.5 packs on both the Intel HD4600 (which was not affected by the long delay) and the GTX780Ti (which was greatly affected).
I used just a single instance of Nature.wmv and placed a transition at the end of the clip. Here are my findings:
i HD4600 CL Fade2 = 1.0 second; Pixelan 3D6P = 1.7s; DM = 2.2s; SM PRO = 2.0s
GTX 780Ti CL Fade2 = 2.6 seconds; Pixelan 3D6P = 3.2s; DM = 3.5s; SM PRO = 3.4s
The GTX 7xx takes about 1.5 seconds longer to open the menu than the HD4600, but that's a
major improvement over the previous times (tested below w/2830):
GTX 780Ti CL Fade2 = 6.6 seconds; Pixelan 3D6P = 7.5s; DM = 8.1s; SM PRO = 7.8s
When translated into a real project with multiple clips, transitions, titles, etc., the difference is much more pronounced. With 2830, the typical delay was 13-17 seconds for each Pixelan menu; whereas with 2908 the typical delay is down to roughly 5 seconds, which is about 3x faster
(Interestingly, the GTX 780 is actually/finally faster than the HD4600 when opening the special Fade2 transition in a "real world" project! GTX = 3.1s vs. 3.5s for the HD4600. Maybe there's hope for maximum GTX 7xx speed yet!)
There is no change in any of the issues NOT listed in the release notes, although there may be a minor improvement in the
long delay when resizing PiP objects issue because of this improvement in response time when using GTX 7xx cards.
