  • Too many video layers?

    Posted by Kristin Kretzler on July 19, 2010 at 2:40 pm

    I’m working in PP CS3 with the following system:

    Mac OSX 10.5.8
    2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory: 10 GB 667 MHz DDR2- FB-DIMM

    My current project has 15 video layers. The first 7 times in the timeline these layers work just fine. The 8th time, things go a little crazy. Am I expecting too much from the system? Has anyone ever encountered this kind of problem? Any help would be great and please don’t hesitate to grill me for specifics.

    I tried to post a couple pics so you can see what the heck I’m talking about but, alas, I can’t get that to work either…

    Are all your layers full video clips or just little titles/motion graphics.

    With that many layers my first concern would be the harddrive being the bottleneck because it may not be able to supply that level of information for that long.

    You may need to invest in some kind of RAID setup if this is a regular occurrence.
