Exported the video straight from X3d in H264...checked the codec in VLC and it reads the same BUT the playback is blocky, staggered (i.e losing frames left right and centre) and utterly useless for me. 

 
You have to select the desired bitrate you want and the resolution of the image. Also what type are you exporting to?
Bit rate is not automatically chosen for you. I did an MPEG4 export with a source video and got perfect encoding of the video when I chose an appropriate bit rate. Here is a link to a bitrate calculator you can use to choose something appropriate to your needs. http://www.3ivx.com/support/calculator/
Before you write off the video support please try working with the video export parameters. In the future we might enhance the export dialog a bit but this first cut has a simple user interface.

Darn it lol! I had the old Chrome error on the forum and wouldnt let me post for 10 mins....

Its not my Sonar day!

The Antares Mic Mod VST3 crash has been fixed!  It now opens and works OK as a VST3.   This was not listed as a fix for the "D" update.

 
Yes I fixed that one. It was actually a workaround for a crash in the plugin. Antares has been notified and will also fix it on their end.
 

Noel can you clarify whether the MIDI output crosstalk into other tracks bug has been fixed? You mentioned in another thread that it was fixed but we are now seeing reports that it still reproduces in X3d.

That is just an assumption right now. We have an issue brought up with a third party product. If somebody has a way to reproduce this issue more generically with Sonar that would be good (i.e. using Cake products, or products supplied by Cake, and/or free utils supplied on the internet that may detect MIDI), i.e. something that is easy to reproduce, that is the way to prove that this really is an issue. Otherwise assuming this is still working (whether it is or not)...

did you try the VST he made & made available?

#39.... And nope I'm not running around trying to find steps to reproduce :) Cheers...

so why are you posting?

I would suggest that this interface has a worse User interface than using a Bitrate calculator as it goes.

What source video were you using out of interest? I have double checked my bitrates in both audio and video (I am used to Premiere and FCP when working with Editors so I know how to fiddle about to make this work) but still out of Sonar to no avail.

Also, how does one explain that some of my old projects where I could import MOVs in Hi Res no problem now refuse to work with either video engine within Sonar? I havent dared open up Premiere yet to see if my entire workflow has crashed and burnt but I am far from impressed.

Maybe this new Engine is great for people pumping out little homemade music videos or whatever but I was under the impression that we would be getting an update remotely near to PT which simply hasnt happened, much to my sadness in that respect.
