60mb edl – 800 avi files – unstable premiere pro
I have a project with 60 hours of rushes – now down to 15 – about 800 clips
the system is becoming very unstable
is this because premiere pro can’t handle the size of the project – or is it the hardware
pentium 3
2 gigs of ram200 gig capture drive
4 usb drives for the clips and audio
the reaosn it is so big is that I have to make three versions of the sme documnetary about the american wheat harvesdt for three different outlets
don’t want to start re-loading windows and drivers etc if it is an edl fault

Hi,
Premiere does slow down on large projects. The slowness depends on your machine also. Check Memory usage with your project open under Task manager->Performence. If the PF memory usage is around 2 gb or more then adding more memory will help. But I am quite shure pentium 3 MB wont take more ram. If you constantly do such projects, please upgrade to a dual xeon machine. It will be much smoother. Alternatively If you can Temporarily offline some files, do it(AVI). Just make a new folder in the same drive and move those files to this folder. dont link them until you require them.Good Luck

thats a shame
had hoped I could get around it some-how
trouble is doing the three projects from the same pool of material
so it is just a size problem it seems
will have to find a way of chopping the project up
