No Workflow
Hi Everyone,I’m Gi First timer.
I use to work with cs2+matrox rtx.100 on a core2 duo,4gb ram 512 nvidia video card and xp os, i use to do prety complex projects with this system and the workflow was smooth only towards the end of the project i use to get a slugish system.
now i bought a new computer with this hardwear:
Motherboard: Asus P6T Deluxe V2Processor: Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz nehelam
RAM :Corsair Core i7 XMS3 12GB PC12800 DDR3 Desktop Memory Upgrade – 6x2048MB
Boot Drive: Hitachi Deskstar 1TB Hard Drive (0A38016) – 7200rpm, 32MB Cache, SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5″ Internal Hard Drive
Power Supply :CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W
GPU: NVIDIA FX 1800 by PNY
OS :Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit OEM
And I’m runing premiere cs4 on it.
no matrox card.
I built this computer according an editing softwears company who recomend that this a good hardwear to do editing, and it dosn’t match the expectations.
the timeline is slugish the 2 camera monitor switch between cameras with a delay and in general as an editor u can feel something dosn’t work there is now workflow.
i updated all the hardwear with the latest updates and still i feel that with my old system I’v worked more fluently,maby i need to configure the cs4 to work properly with the hardwear or viseversa.
I would apriciat any kind of help to solve this problem,Thank you up ahead,Gil Sabag -

What are you using for a video capture drive?
What source format are you editing?

I’m using this drive Hitachi Deskstar 1TB Hard Drive 7200rpm, 32MB Cache, SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5″ Internal Hard Drive,for the captured video,I’m not using any captur card like matrox or so,and I’m working on standard ntsc dv format.

I think the right way to describe my problem is that the real time engine dosn’t work properly,for example if lets say i to fast motion a clip to 500% and ad the posterize time effect i see a black fram when i play it even after i renderd the clip the same with slow motion and all the things i listed in my first post,it feels like somthing is not working properly, the timleline jitters,stuff that with my old comuter and the rtx.100 i didn’t have,i wanted to upgrade but all I get is a machin that dosn’t work fluently.

What Erich was asking is – do you have a separate hard drive for video files? If you only have a system drive, that will hurt performance since Windows is constantly trying to use the drive and that conflicts with trying to read video from the same drive. Video should always be on a dedicated drive.
Since you are an RT.X100 user, have you considered the RT.X2 LE for your new system? Even though the computer is much faster than the old unit, the RT.X2 still saves a lot of time in many ways to help your workflow compared to CS4 alone.

I build all of my own systems and recently finished my 4th edit workstation in the past 18 months. All 4 systems share a common theme – a fast system drive, a large raid 0 media drive with (2)1TB 7200rpm sata drives, and an extra large sata for backup. I have no problem playing back HDV and AVCHD on the timeline in PPro CS4. All media remains on the Raid and all projects are backed up to the internal sata as well as to another networked system. A Raid 0 configuration is cheap and easy to put together but you will need either the Pro or Ultimate edition of Windows Vista or Windows 7 in order to stripe your (2), or more, sata drives into a raid configuration. Good Luck!
