cannot set 1/4 resolution
Hey there – basic operational issue here with Premiere CS5 – windows platform.
I have a friend trying to set this in a DV-NTSC widescreen project.
He’s experiencing some sluggishness, so I suggested going to 1/4 res.
But the 1/4 Resolution Playback option is “grayed-out,” along with 1/8 and 1/16.I also have CS5 on a PC platform (though I only edit in FinalCut at this time)
So as a test, I set up a new project, and Hmmm … same thing here. No res less than 1/2 is available.What up?

“Not all resolutions are available for all sequence types. For Standard Definition sequences, such as DV, only Full and 1/2 are available. For many HD sequences up to 1,080 frame size, Full, 1/2, and 1/4 are available. For sequences with frame sizes larger than 1,080, such as RED, all the fractions are available.”

Wow – that was fast.
Throughput on this COW machine is awesome!
Thanks. -
Hi David,
The real question would be what is causing sluggishness when editing DV? Pretty much any computer can edit DV with ease – there shouldn’t be a need to reduce resolution when editing standard definition footage

Jeff –
Excellent point.Seems pretty silly since it’s a fairly robust machine with 8Gb (most of which is dedicated to Premiere)- but the PC lives a dual life as a home office machine,so there is bound to be some amount of windows-rot and other burdens on the CPU (Vista OS).
I haven’t even begun to look at that situation in any depth.
My friend would prefer to try and make hardware adjustments, rather than mess too much with his installed software.I think the best answer for him might be to create a new, cleaner boot disc for editing.
