  • Projects Take Forever to Load Conformed Media

    Posted by Devan Scott on December 21, 2014 at 8:12 pm

    Hello,

    I’m editing a documentary feature using Premiere Pro CC V. 8.1 (latest updates, as of today), and, lately, whenever I load my project file (which is about 8mb, and contains around 8000 separate clips, 60 hours’ worth), it takes my system (which is very new – 16GB of RAM, Intel i7, NVIDIA 970, etc) a really long time to load all of the media after the project file’s been opened. It used to only take a minute or two, but I’m sitting here fifteen minutes after I’ve opened the software and I’m about 1/8th of the way through. No new media has been added recently, and very little has been edited – so no effects, or anything. There’s a decent amount of synced multicam content, about 50 sequences worth – but that’s it.

    Other information:
    -Windows 8.1
    -Source footage is h264 sourced from a GH4 and 60D as well as M2TS files sourced from a handicam. Mostly 1080p, some 4k.
    -No error messages.
    -No third party codecs.
    -Mercury playback: I believe so.

    Thanks!

    EDIT: I forgot to mention. My drives are laid out as such:
    C: SSD 128GB (Premiere Pro installation)
    D: 1TB HDD (250GB of cached conformed media)
    F and G: External Drives with raw media

    You should get a fast RAID array for the media.

    I don’t know if this will help with your problem, but they released 8.2 like 5 days ago.
