Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Playback response slow

  • Playback response slow

    Posted by Jeff Smith on July 15, 2014 at 9:50 pm

    When I try to play, it delays 2 seconds before playing begins. its not the resolution, same delay at 1/4 and full. I’ve tried importing the sequences into a new project (like i used to do in FCP) to try and compress the project size, but the new project is even bigger.

    Machine specs?

    Type of footage?

    Software version?

    Throw us a bone here with some info…this is like “my car doesn’t run”…it could be that it’s out of gas…or at the bottom of a lake…critical information is in the details.

    hard drive configuration? How full are the media drives? How fragmented are they? What kind of footage? Does it happen with one specific project or all projects?

    This was happening to me to. It ended that I had my audio settings configured wrong, which fixed the problem.

    For the quickest spacebar to playback I have my MacPro setup like this (in Preferences / Audio Hardware)
    Adobe Desktop Audio: Built-in Line Output
    Buffersize: 64
    Map Output For: Adobe Desktop Audio

    Another editor here had it set to a USB sound output, and another to an AJA output… and those just really slowed down everything…

    See if that helps?

    No difference. Do the length of sequences effect playback? mine is one hour 40 min

    Premiere Pro will spend some time “buffering up” on file types with temporal compression (long GOP), but I don’t know why you’d see such a gap with ProRes…

    any other suggestions? I’ve tried the sequence in both cs6 and cc 2014. I’ve enabled the cuda acceleration in 2014, but no difference compared to cs6

    Are all the media and cache files on the Thunderbolt drive or are some on the Drobo?
