  Performance Concerns

  Posted by Mickey Howell on March 11, 2011 at 11:27 pm

  Just got a camera HMC-150 and am trying it out for the first time.

  Here is my system:
  Premiere 5.0.3
  asus p6x58d-e
  windows 7 64bit
  24 gig ram
  i7 950
  GTX-470 latest drivers
  antec 1000 watt power supply
  5 1t Western Digital Black Caviar Drives

  Scratch Disks:
  Video: Drive G – RAID 0
  Captured Audio: Drive D
  Video Previews: Drive G – RAID 0
  Audio Previews: Drive D

  Test clip: 1080p 30frame, 720 60p

  I put the clip on the timeline and it plays fine although on occasion there is a little skip.
  If I put a 2 second dissolve between clips it really stutters and slows way down.

  Any tips?

  The fact that the video really starts to slow down during the transition makes me think that you may not have the Mercury Playback Engine set to hardware use. The setting is on a project by project basis. Go to Project > Project Settings > General and make sure “Video Rendering and Playback” is set to “Mercury Playback Engine GPU accelerated”.

  Also, are you trying playback immediately after importing a new clip, or are you giving it enough time to conform like new media usually needs to by watching the little conform bar in the corner?
