placeholder / proxy (low resolution footage) like in After effect CS5?
Hello,
My graphic card is handeling CUDA but not enought memory for Mercury.
So playback is really bad, so bad I cannot work!On After effect I’m a used to use placeholder / proxy to work and then render full quality.
Can I do that with Premiere CS5.5?
I already did reduce preview settings by half and render the work area, all my clip in the main sequence are saved in lower resolution on my scrape disk. They playback is smooth but as soon as any change is made (editing, even translating a clip in time, opacity), the preview file is not used anymore! After effect is better for that???
Any idea?

hi,
I haven’t seen your answer, sorry..;
So here are my spec:
—-
windows 7 64 bitsMSI Megabook GX700
Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 2.2 GHz
Ram upgraded to 4gb
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT – 512 MB, Core: 475 MHz, Memory: 400 MHz
(CUDA but not enought memory for Mercury Playback Engine, I tryed adding the card into the list, it recognize it but say not enought memory 712 MB minimum.)
——I’m so sad!!! I cannot edditing my new CANON 550D footage!!

The Mercury Engine is the playback technology, when you don’t have a supported CUDA card it just falls back onto “software” mode.
Before I start, don’t bother with After Effects in this situation. It isn’t made for non-linear editing (not with ease) and isn’t designed to play footage in real time.
Sadly, from experience, I can’t recommend dealing with hi-def footage on a dual core machine, at least not in h.264. Your best bet is an editing codec. Avid supplies their codec, DNxHD, for Windows and Mac for free https://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=263545 and you should see some better performance once your footage is converted. When installed it’ll be available as a quicktime format in your export dialogs and Adobe Media Encoder.
