    Hi, my videos are in AVCHD format and in Adobe Premiere CS4 it can be used in its native format, but not efficiently. In After Effects CS4 I was able to get it running fine with the use of a Proxy, but in Premiere it doesn’t seem to have the feature…is there anyway to get it to work well?

    Thanks!

    AVCHD requires a gutsy computer system with a tonne of ram and RAID 0 style HDD content playback. If your computer meets the minimum specs or below there is no way to make it perform true realtime without a hardware upgrade.
    There are a couple of things you can do to minimise the applications ram usage which might give you better results.

    – Twirl up the Video and Audio tracks so you don’t see the head/tail thumbnail for video clips and the waveform for audio in the timeline.
    – Work in Draft mode.
    – Generel Preferences are set to “performance”, close PPro/restart PPro.

    Thanks for the response…Well my system is the following:

    EVGA 750i Motherboard
    Q6600 Quad Core 2.4GHz
    4GB DDR2 1066
    XFX 9600 GT w/ 512Mb

    As for raid 0, how would i set that up to improve my performance…

    You do not need a striped RAID configuration to edit AVCHD in it’s native format. If you used the Cineform converter a RAID would let you play several layers at once.
