I have seen the website of forum member Stefan Burger and I've downloaded three files (1) FXbench setup (2) Slang Reference and (3) Sample filter collection.
Can someone explain how to integrate these filters into VS10+, would appreciate if a detailed instruction is given.
Thanks

Hi Pillai,
I've used FXbench on earlier versions of VS, but I'm hoping that it will work the same way with the latest ones.
As I recall, and I'm sure others will jump right in and correct me if I'm wrong, you simply run the setup file for FX Bench and it will appear as one of the video filters in VS.
Upon checking my Ulead folders, I notice that file FXbench.vft appears in subfolder C:\Program Files\Ulead VideoStudio 9.0\vft_plug
To use an FX Bench effect, you drag the FXBench icon, which, on my pc, appears as the very last Video Filter, onto your clip. Then when you click on the clip on your timeline, it should bring up the "Video" and "Attribute" tabs to the left of the preview window. Click on the "Attribute" tab and you should see "FXbench" in the box below. Next click on "Customize Filter" and this will bring up all of the (many!) FXbench options. You select the filter from the list on the left.
Hope it works for you! Again, on my system, I find that the FXbench filters take a heck of a long time to render - but the finished effect may be what you're looking for, so it can be worth the wait. I'd reccommend you experiment with a short clip first. Since I still have only 512Mb of RAM in my old pc, it might be something that benefits from more RAM

The reason is, that FXbench executes the effect as Interpreter. Interpreted code is always somewhat slower than compiled machine code.2Dogs wrote:Hi Pillai,

Agreed. It was never the intention to use FXbench effects over a whole movie but just for small sequences that last several seconds. In that case the longer render time (due to interpreted code, see above) is just a small trade off for a maximum of flexilibity.2Dogs wrote:Hi Pillai,

No! its just pure processing time. Someone will definitly benefit more from a faster cpu than from more ram.2Dogs wrote:Hi Pillai,
