If you have laptop you might have an eSATA connection (which gives you a SATA connection externally. If you have a desktop you can install both drives in your box easily. The drives can be whatever cheap drives you find, which means that you can find very cheap drives. Thus, if you plug 2 hard drives of which 100 MB/sec, you get a near access speed of 200MB/Sec. It means you can hook up many drives in a stripe (or in another method), which will all act as a single drive, with the capacity of the sum of capacities of all the striped drives combined, and with the speed of them combined. RAID stands for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Drives. You can achieve faster (much faster infact) access speed by using RAID. The TVP User Manual section 1-14 says this about the Temp Directory:Īn SSD drive is nice, but it'll cost you the house, and it is still not the fastest solution.

So most people will use a USB drive for external data storage. It is not easy to find a Firewire external drive. Apple appears to be phasing out firewire (new Macbook Pro only has one Firewire 800 port and regular Macbook does not have any firewire). USB devices are common, Firewire drives much less common and many PC users do not have any firewire ports unless installed optionally. So then I am curious about what kind of external device is supposed to be used for a Temp Directory ? If USB is limited by the speed of the USB bus (max 20MB) that would also apply to USB external hard drive, correct ? So is it intended that the data storage device should be a Firewire device ? But this is not clear in the user manual. īut from your answer above it seems that I have been mistaken. I can’t remember where I read that, but I have it in my notes.

Somewhere along the line (maybe this is going back to the Mirage days in 2003) I have apparently picked up the erroneous information that a Temp Directory should be created usingĪn external drive. I have a question about creating the Temp Directory for TVP. Crashes frequently happen when people allow to many cache memory to TVP Animation : there is no memory enough for the software. Can you identify how or when it crashes ? You can send us by email the report bug or what is written in your console. #4 : That's strange, TVP Animation crashes really rarely. And don't forget to free some space on your hard drive =) It's sufficient, but if you want to create very heavy project, you should change your CPU for an octo core. With your current Mac, you have 2 cores in 2Ghz, it means you have 4Ghz of CPU. If you want to improve TVP Animation skill, well, you can change your CPU : TVP Animation only depends on the Ram, the cores and the free hard drive space. You should better separate your files (don't make one full 10 minutes project in 5000x4000pixels with 10 layers). #3 : Well, a Flash USB key is limited by the USB bus (max 20MB) and the Flash technology (5/10MB when writing), so I don't advise you to use this.

Moreover, on a Mac OsX, the 4GB can be fully used by TVP Animation (contrary to Windows 32bits). #1 : It's only the memory cache, not the memory used by the software (the software sees all your Ram). Thanks in advance, and sorry for the load of subtopics within this post. On a more serious closure, what I meant to say is, when the Application Crashes unexpectedly and Apple generates a bug report log, are these logs later analyzed by the TVP staff? as trivial as this might sound, I've noticed some sentimental crashes of the app I call them sentimental, because as of right now I can't duplicate a particular behavior, other than clicking around and punching options like a maniac that doesn't know what's he is doing. I'm wondering from a computer engineering perspective, how does this improve rendering and total software performance? I ask this, because this is the first time I've heard of any app taking and advantage of cache files stored outside of the root hard drive. #3 My instructors AAU recommended to purchase a separate USB Flash Drive to allow TVP to use it as a destination for it's /Temp folder. #2 When running the Video Grabber using a Firewire camera my processors spike in usage and stay pegged to +100% on both cores. Does this mean that this is the Max amount of memory the App will take up, or does this mean that the program is really not seen acknowledging that I'm running 4 Gigs of RAM?

#1 When I check the app configuration/preference it displays the Physical Memory as 2047MB? This is a a text field that can't be edited. Hi, I'm new to TVP and I had a few observations I wanted to post.
