prem pro CS5 and .mov files
On my main machine I am running Win7 64 bit and my prem pro CS5 is having serious difficulty playing .mov files that i generate in After Effects…
On my secondary machine and even on my laptop…it plays it no problem..
any ideas what might be causing this playback and rendering problem??
I had an ATI radeon card installed in the machine and i then put in a Nvidia Quadro 2000 but either way it just sputters with the .mov files..Now i just tried opening my project in CS4 and the .mov files play perfectly..so it is really somehthing with CS5…
Any info would be appreciated..
Thanks

What setting do you have for playback resolution on CS5 Vs CS4?
Full on CS5 with high bandwidth media on an underpowered machine/HDD setup will playback choppy. If you drop to half, you might see similar results to CS4 and Auto or Draft in Playback.
That would be my first comparison. 🙂

i tried lowering the playback resolution but that makes no difference..I have a pretty powerful machine…a SSD C drive and 12 Gb of ram and the other drives are also fast…so i dont think the machine is the culprit…(maybe the video card)
also..when i hit the enter key, the render takes an enourmous amount of time..the same rendering in CS4 moves fairly rapidly…
so i am still back with .mov not playing or rendering properly..
thanks

What codec are you rendering out of AE?
-
AE with Quick Time movie rgb plus alpha and animation as the codec…
is there a better choice…I need the alpha channel..
thanks

That’s interesting. I use this codec plenty and haven’t ever found it to be sluggish?
I am beginning to think you may have some bad RAM.
I am hearing many Mac users starting to see performance issues due to never really pushing the full use of RAM with a 64-bit NLE. It’s possible that FCP worked great because it only lived in the 1st 4gig of RAM?
Look for a RAM stress test app to see if there is a leak.

I will check the RAM issue..
Not sure if you would know this but if there is a ram leak is that something solved with new RAM or is that a motherboard issue…thanks

One more thing to consider…prem prop CS4 handles the mov file just fine..while CS5 does not handle it well at all…
would a RAM issue only affect CS5 and not CS4?
thanks
