Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Performance slow and crashing

  • Performance slow and crashing

    Posted by Matthew on May 12, 2005 at 2:08 pm

    I am having some issues with some of my bigger projects in Premiere Pro 1.5. Basically my response time is obviously getting slower as my project gets bigger, and if I try to use another application like Photoshop while Premiere is open it starts to crash. It only seems to happen with larger projects however. So I added more RAM, (DDR 3200 Dual sided) to up my total to 2 GB. However, my projects seem to be running a little worse now. My video dosen’t always come up in Premieres preview screen and the audio is sometimes jumbles and cannot catch up to the video. Im on XP, service pack 2, 2GB RAM, ASUS P2P 800 Board, Intel Pent 4, 2.67ghz, power color 9250 card. Im using a G-RAID 9pin exernal and Super Lacie 9 pin external. Anything else I need to do to speed things up or make it more stable?

    what do u mean by crash, did you get any error msgs, if so what’s the error msg. remove all external hard drives wires that are connected to PC, and try to render one of your projects using 2nd internal hard drive. see the result.

    By crashing I mean the program just shuts down, or say Seious Error has Occured. And my entire project is external so I cant render it with those off. Besides the crashing however, Im more concerned with trying to get the response time increased. For some reason when I added more RAM my project started running a little worse. Ex Video and Audio not catching up to timeline marker, audio stutters, no video in preview moniter, green stills.

    disconnect the external hard drive, and create a dummy project in your internal hard drive. dummy project can be 2-3 min long captured file with couple of standard effects. And render them. see the result.
    -Is your firewire is 400 or 800?

    Im not sure what you mean when you say create a dummy project? Do you mean just create another project and see if I have the same results? All of my other projects are fine. Maybe its just because the project is so big? They are running off of Firewire 800.
