stutter playback on premiere cs5?
Im running a very fast machine and I am experiencing lag in my playback and wondering if this is normal? Im running sandy bridge E 12 core with gtx580. I only have 16 gbs ram but I dont see it even touching 8. My project seems to stutter in the playback after about 30 seconds of the timeline. I have a 10,000 rpm drive as my scratch and a 512 ssd for the application itself. wtf?

what kind of footage?
A single SD video layer sequence might playback fine
with a single drive.You need at least a RAID Zero
setup to keep playback smooth with HD multi-layer editing.have you tried setting the preview to 1/4 res?

I’m editing the Native 5dmk11 files(I think there h264)
Im not even using multiple layers, at least not in the same playback. I have tried lowering it to half. Dang, I cant believe this system with one of the fastest cuda cards cant even playback hd video smooth. Imovie x and avid work just fine…. Premiere has some bugs to work out I think. -
Have you upgraded your video card drivers and Premiere? What are your sequence settings? Is the hardware Mercury Playback Engine enabled?

Josh, I suspect its highly likely your hard drive is inadequate
for the task.A single drive that spins at 10,000rpm is not enough.
the amount of throughput you need is just not there.I have a RAID 5 and I can playback RED 4k footage
at 1/4 rez in real time.It’s not premiere or your CUDA setup.
Your trying to move a gallon of water through a cocktail straw in
2 seconds.Get or borrow a Raid drive…thats what will likely fix it.
Even a lower cost RAID 0 setup will have much higher throughput. -
Hey Josh,
Sounds like you are trying to playback at Full Playback Quality with effects on it. You want to drop down to 1/2. It only affects the way you watch is back, like an on the fly proxy via the software that eases the taxing weight from the Original media/compressor on the CPU. That’s Mercury at work, on a Software only level. Doing the CUDA Hardware GPU side helps with RT effects. I use a Quadro and it rocks. There’s a reason the GTX cards are cheaper. Gaming cards/drivers not built and tested specifically for Heavy Video work.
Let us know what happens when you drop the playback to 1/2 and be sure the Hardware is being recognised and used in CUDA GPU Mercury Playback Engine.

Thanks for the replies. I tried dropping it down to a quarter and same thing. I think it is a raid/ hardrive issue. The GTX580 seems to be a great workhorse for me so far and the specs seemed substantially better than the quaddro. I guess its user preference…
