  • new laptop, windows 8 issues with premiere?

    Posted by Al Ellis on January 9, 2013 at 12:15 am

    hi, i have a new laptop i73630qm with onboard intel 4000 graphics and nvidia 650m 8gb ram, and i’m getting stuttering playback on single layer edits running dnxhd185x in premiere. ive switched NVidia optimus so it’s constantly running the NVidia 650, got the most up to date drivers, Mercury playback is enabled but comes up yellow on the timeline. Media on ext. usb 3 drive. I’d assume the laptop should eat that easily. It’s also running windows 8. Anyone else out there had issues?
    thanks

    Are these QuickTime files? If so, it’s more of a QT limitation in Windows and not a Premiere Pro problem; the common solution to that is to transcode or re-wrap QT files to something Pr can work natively with.

    I would check your bios settings to see if you can adjust USB3 transfer modes. I’ve had issues with stuttering and access times with USB3, as have others.

    How do samples play off your internal drive?

    yellow on the timeline is good – it means GPU is working.
    Premiere Pro doesn’t support Avid DNX media via MXF only QT which is 32-bit and therefore a large performance limitation.
    I’ve only given Windows 8 a spot check thus far so can’t really comment, but I didn’t run into any issues with it when I tested Premiere Pro.
