Some playback issues with premiere pro
Hi,
Im running premiere pro cs5 on a windows 7 64 bit system
i have a amd quadcore 3.0 ghz
4 gigs of ddr3 ram
radeon 4850 video card
2 x 1 terabyte hardrives (media files on separate harddrive)My camera records in AVCHD and I’ve tried playing native avchd files in it, i understand it is a system hog of a format so I tried encoding the files into some other formats, however i keep having playback issues. The video just doesn’t run smoothly in the preview window (probably because i am a newb at the various formats).
What is a good codec to use? I’ve read that cineform might work well?
or is it more an issue of getting more ram?thanks
matt

Matt, I think the consensus seems to be that file formats that manufacturers use to record video are not necessarily the best for editing. Premiere makes a very good stab at being able to edit most formats natively which is probably the holy grail really. However, how many of us would really own up to working with only one format?
Neoscene is very robust as an intermediate editing codec although it can be HDD hungry. The advantage of this kind of solution though is that it can convert pretty much any camera format thrown at it. (The camera you have at the moment might not always be the camera that supplies you with video rushes!) I think, for $130, it’s very good value and I use it for my HDV stuff even though my computer can handle native HDV without problems.
