Long render times and choppy previews
I’m getting very choppy previews in my PPCS4 project. The effect that is causing difficulties is RGB Curves. Is this normal? My system specs are as follows
Video Card: GeForce 260 896MB 216 core
RAM: 4 GB OCZ DDR2-800 RAM
CPU: P4-D 3.2ghz
Mobo: ASUS P5W DH DeluxeI think part of the problem is that the footage I was given to cut was HDV, which was captured to .MOV files.
It seems like my GPU should be taking most of the load, but under render, my CPU is maxed out at 99%.
I am running the newest CS4 updates.
Does anyone have any ideas or insight?
Thank you for you time!

simple thing is to change the output settings, and make it draft quality rather than highest, just right click on the program monitor and go to quality.
-
Even with draft quality enabled, this still happens. I forgot to mention that above.
The only thing I can think of is that my GPU is not being utilized like it should be. Is there any way to check if it is being used or not?

well one simple way is to hit ctrl alt delete, and go to task manager~performance

How long should rendering a 8 min H264 video take at a 720P preset (@4 kpbs bitrate)?
It’s taking me over an hour.
-
well it usually takes me around 6 hours to every one hour on mpeg2 blu ray, and i have 2 quad cores in my system, so depending on your system that sounds about right
-
A P4 CPU is just not up to previewing HDV. I think Adobe suggests Core2Duo 2.4 as minimum.
-
oh yea, you should 2 cores in your system at the very least, i was working with 4 hours of HDV footage from 3 different cameras, and i had one quad core then and it was still laggin quite a bit, so i threw another one in there and it can handle most all of it. but you should be able to get some cheap core2duos, just make sure its capable with your system
