Video playback question.
Here are the specs to my machine:
Dell Studio XPS 435T
Intel Core i7 CPU
12GB RAM
64-bit
NVIDIA VeForce GTS 240My video playback isn’t happening. It chugs along so choppy and slow that it’s untenable.
My processor is being taxed only at about 20%.
I’m using draft-quality on the monitoring.
Is the graphics card bottle-necking the video?
Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.
I cannot figure out why I’m not getting smooth video!
Thanks,
Gerry -

I figured out something. Very interesting.
When I had used Vegas before getting Premiere, it couldn’t handle AVCHD files, so I had to render them down to AVI or QT.
I figured it might be the same here, so I loaded up an AVI file which played terribly (as mentioned in my original post) but when I loaded an AVCHD file, it played perfect.
Not sure why but it works.

Hi Gerry,
A couple of important questions –
1) What Premiere Project Preset are you using?
2) What is the format of the video clips – uncompressed, AVCHD, XDCAM, what? Source of the video?
If video clips are uncompressed, don’t expect realtime playback, the hard drive(s) may not be able to keep up with data rate.
