AME Complaint
Hey all,
I use Premiere CS4 at work, and Premiere CS3 at home. They’re both running on identical machines.
3.0 ghz intel quad core
4 gb of ram
1TB 7200rpm primary
3TB Raid-0 for video projects
Nvidia Quadro FX1700 video cardCS3 is head and shoulders above CS4 in 32-bit system performance. My biggest gripe (for today) is this. I have a 20 minute finished sequence in CS4. Half of it is a talking head interview, the back-half is a picture slideshow (made up of pan an scans of 300DPI jpegs). The project is completely rendered. I export the sequence as a native DV AVI for Encore. Now, on CS3, that encoding process is fast, and does not change no matter what section of the timeline it’s rendering. On CS4, the speed of the encode varies depending on what section of the video it’s on. In this case, the encode comes to a crawl when it gets to the pan and scans. IMO, that should not happen, especially since that sequence has already been rendered. In CS3, the encode does not descriminate and sees all rendered video the same.
Any thoughts on this matter?
Best,
Aaron

Aaron,
I find that fully rendering the timeline first makes the export a breeze in CS4, even without using rendered files.
I have not noticed any drastic slowdown from CS3 to CS4, but I can’t really compare 2 exact same configurations.
We did upgrade to Intel i7s and that did gave us quite a boost.
