My project is cursed…

[Dennis Radeke]

All NLE’s start having problems as you get into really large projects (even Avid with a database to an extent). We all try some of the same things (trash prefs, import sequence to a new project, trim project) and you are right that the number of individual items in a project is a contributing factor since you use a little bit of memory for indexing each item.

For Adobe, when we went to 64-bit, we had another thing we could throw at the problem – RAM. I’ve had a number of customers with problems that have solved their problems by adding more memory. If the next version of FCP involves 64-bit, you’ll be able to address the problem in the same way.
