    Hello Everybody,

    I’m just starting my first large project in PP CS6. I’ve spent several days syncing my dailies. It’s Red Epic footage shot at 5k and double system sound. The syncing when very well; in fact I’m quite impressed and might like syncing sound better in PP than in Avid, which is a surprise to me.

    However, today I actually started cutting and I ran into a very hard brick wall: my sequence doesn’t redraw properly when I zoom in/out or scroll it. The clips and audio segments will often appear to drift apart from one another, and/or simply be represented in the wrong spot until I zoom ALL the way in, then back out to get them to display in the right spots.

    If I can’t figure this out, it’s a deal breaker and I’ll transition right now over to Avid. I only started this in PP, ’cause I wanted to try it. But it’s already driving me batsh*t crazy. Everything else about PP I have to say I’m kind of liking, and I was excited to give it a whirl.

    What I don’t understand is that I didn’t have these sequence redraw issues when syncing dailies, which I did on the timeline. I pulled ALL my days’ dailies out onto the timeline, then cut in my matching dialog, then selected each shot/audio pair and merged them. During that entire process I never noticed a sequence redrawing improperly. But as soon as I started actually cutting, it just isn’t working.

    Thoughts?

    Hi Chris,

    For all it’s worth, you might try deleting media cache folders and media cache database from your prefs.

    Vince,

    How do you do that, exactly. I’m kinda new to PP, coming from Avid MC.

    Go to Preferences and select “Media” then hit the Clean Cache button.

    Quit Premiere Pro and restart it.

    Cheers JB
