Premiere Pro CS5.5 Interface Slowness
Been cutting my first project on Premiere Pro CS5.5 after coming from Final Cut and am enjoying the process so far. I’m cutting native RED footage without transcoding, which is awesome, but have noticed one thing that seems to be sort of slowing me down overall —
It seems that there is a bit of a hiccup every time I change between windows in Premiere. Whether I’m clicking from the project window down to the timeline, or up to the source window or whatever, it’s almost like Premiere has to remember what it was doing and “reengage” or something before I’m able to scrub a clip or whatever and get back to business. Was just wondering if anyone else has noticed this.

How much RAM do you have reserved for other applications?

I’m getting pauses and hesitation too. I rendered out a comp with a few layers and then it doesn’t want to play the render first time. Will play it on the second time but sometimes the whole thing kind of hangs and I can hear the audio playing but the picture doesn’t move. It takes a lot of clicking on things to get it going again. I have seen some of this since I have been experimenting with PPro. This is really crucial. It has to play back it’s own render files with 99.9% reliability.

The fact that you have 32GB of RAM worries me. I’ve only got 10GB and I figured that perhaps it was a lack of RAM issue, but clearly that’s not your problem.
For me, this very subtle interface lag is enough to make Premiere unusable if I can’t get it worked out. Final Cut was just so much smoother it’s not even funny. I really want to love Premiere, I’m trying as hard as I can to give it a fair shake.

Hi Yes I am having the same problem too – very frustrating indeed. I too have had to move away from FCP7 and am having to grit my teeth as I learn to live with Premiere Pro CS5.5 and its clunky ways.
