    Hello,

    I hope this finds you well. I have just begun with Premiere Pro CS6. I worked with multiple, effect-loaded layers, from various sources, which I have not transcoded (as was my custom in Final Cut). The clips range from 1280X720 Prores to 1080 AVCHD. The layering seems to be working fine, but at first I experienced frequent crashes. I updated to 6.01, which seemed to eliminate the crashes, but soon began crashing again. I switched to Mercury engine software only, which eliminated the crashes. I am now working on a multilayered sequence which, un-rendered, slows and stutters.

    Any ideas on how to improve performance? I was told that I still experienced crashes after the 6.01 update while still using the GPU acceleration because the memory of the previous crashes is still in the system and there is a way to eliminate that memory, although I don’t know how to do so.

    Many thanks.

    All the best,

    Julian

    I am working on a MacBook Pro, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB Ram, 7200, graphic cards that came with the computer AMD Radeon HD 6770M and Intel HD Graphics 3000. I work with 5 G-tech firewire drives attached.

    MPE hardware only works with Nvidia cards, so this may be why you get the stutters.

    One other thing I read was that you should upgrade your OSX to 10.7.4 after the update. I just posted a link to that article to a post in here above yours.

    It may or may not help, but you can delete the preview files, but I doubt this would have any true relation to crashes. But on a Mac I can’t be certain.

    I have also been reading a lot of posts about crashes while using external drives. May not be the cause, but when I work on my PC I like to have the files actually on the computer. However, I use SSD, RAID Hybrids, and RAID SATA. I do work off external drives as well, but I prefer not to. But in the instance of using a Mac, I do know that it is much safer to do so.
