Drop Frames and Stuttering Video on playback Pro Res 422HQ

Posted by Armando Ciurana on November 19, 2011 at 3:17 am

Hello!

I’m editing a Pilot in Premiere Pro CS 5.5, this is my first real project in premiere pro, I trying to make the switch from FCS 3

All the files are Pro Res 422HQ Captured with two Ki Pros, two cameras, 1TB of video files.

Several Times the video playback on my sequence window drops frames or momentarily goes out of sync, just for 3 or 4 frames and goes back again in sync but with dropped frames in playback, I tried to edit in three different machines, two 8 core Mac Pros and one Mac Book Pro Core Duo, is the same.

this is not critical but annoying, is this a usual thing in Premiere Pro CS 5.5? Should I transcode my files in order to get real time playback, like Final Cut Pro 7?

Thanks in advance!

Best!

What graphics card do you have in the machines? Ones that can activate CUDA processing and make the Mercury Engine hardware based? that always helps…a LOT.

Thank You Shane!

I updated all the drivers and cuda drivers for the three machines, the graphic cards are>

Mac Pro 8 Core: Ati Radeon 5770 and Nvidia Quadro 4000

Mac Pro Cuad Core: Nvidia Quadro FX 5600

Mac Book Pro: Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT

After the update, both Mac Pros went slightly better but not great, still dropped frames and audio out of sync; the Macbook Pro, actually went worst.

Please, I want to make this one in Premiere Pro, I´m trying to like the switch, do you have another solution?

Is there a native codec for Premiere Pro?

Thanks again!

[Armando Ciurana] “s there a native codec for Premiere Pro?”

Nope…that’s one of the things missing that the others have. FCP has ProRes, Avid has DNxHD, PPro has…nada. It edited other formats natively. Some better than others. And because some formats are a bear, an Octo core mac with CUDA is the best way to edit with PPro. Quad cores…laptops…not the best.

in my limited experience.

I guess I have to stick with the 8 core then or get this one done in final cut if I want to go home and edit in pajamas and slippers hehehe

Thank you again Shane!
