CS5.5 Improving playback without Mecury?
Hello,
I have a gx700 laptop and I just installed CS5.5 on windows 7 64bits
I need to edit footage from a Canon 550d / t2i, 1920x1080pProcessor: 2.4gb X 2
4Go Ram
Nvidia 8600M GT (512mo Ram)As expected, playback isn’t smooth.
My playback settings / Aspect ratio conversion : software
Nvidia 8600M GT (512mo Ram) do not support Mercury playbackPlayback resolution: 1/4 (1/8 & 1/16 are grey
In Sequence settings video preview
I reduce the resolution but no improvement in playback!Do you have any idea for me to improve the playback (by reducing quality? I don’t want to convert all my footage!
Thx

You could try transferring all your media/RAW material files into an external RAID 0 drive, accessed via E-sata or USB 3 (If your laptop has these ports). That should give your editing experience a bit of a boost. If you don’t then your out of luck. If you are not short of time, you could also try a fresh reinstall of the system and the Adobe Suite.

So I have improved my workflow by creating a seqeunce with all my rush.
Then I reduce by half the “preview settings” of this sequence
Then I render all work area
As a result a lower quality of all my footage are saved in the scrape disk. So I can go smoothy throught my sequence.PROBLEM…
As soon as I edit my sequence, the preview file is not used anymore and playback is not smooth!Is there is a way to use placeholder / proxy (low resolution footage) like in After effect?

Well…that is sort of like converting all your footage….
which you said that you didn’t want to do?

Well, since I seem not to have any other option… why not.
I mean, CS5.5 is much smoother on my computer than CS3 with everything but PREMIERE.
So, I’m looking for a convenient workflow to have… preview low res footage than I could edit / apply effect. Then I want to be able to swap to full resolution when rendering.
Exactly like proxy in after effect.
Any idea?
