Premiere CC 2014 laggy

[Ericbowen]

When you DL AE into Premiere the realtime playback performance will be significantly lower due to how the AE comp has to process in Premiere. If you want to improve your playback performance in Premiere with media from AE I suggest you create a master file from AE and import it to avoid the DL processing tax.

It’s not the hit in performance that is the issue. As mentioned, if I toggle to AE then back to PPRO timeline plays OK. But if I wait a few minutes it’s like AE’s DL goes to sleep, and the PPRO timeline freezes on the DL AE segment and the audio continues to play. Interesting though, If I quite AE, DLs play OK.

This was not an issue in CC (after I turned on Prevent App Nap). However, this does not seem to be an option in CC 2014 (for AE). In the meantime, I’ve done all of the usual trashing and soft booting reinstalling. Nothing seem to help. Now PPRO 14 won’t load

Uninstalled PPRO CC 2014 and trying to go back to CC. What a waste of a weekend trouble shooting.

Help!

Thanks,

Jim

[JP Pelc] “- Don’t edit too much H.264. While Premiere can handle it, it’s an inter-frame codec, meaning most frames are referencing another frame 4 or 5 away. This adds to the processing needs. While it’s probably too late for this project, future projects with a decent amount of DSLR footage should have it converted to ProRes 422 before going into Premiere.”

I’m not so sure about that.

I have not had any problems with any codec in the last 2 years of using Premiere,
including H264 footage.

If you have a slower/older system sure, but a fast raid on a recent macpro tower
and a quadro 4000 gpu seems to churn right through it in my experience.

The amount of difficulty of course varies according to the system’s power, as well as the amount of footage. On a 2012 iMac with an i7 and 8GB of RAM I can edit native h.264 on sequences with a final video of < 5 minutes no problem. But when working on sequences longer than that with several layers, h.264 definitely starts to make it chug
