> So, whether or not it’s Dynamic Link, is there some way to make the software suite run in such a way that doing a RAM render in AE while PP is open that does not cause my system to run slower than my 90 year old grandmother in a footrace?
[Dex Craig]“so I can have Premiere and AE open at the same time, like in the old days?”
I am confused by this statement. You can still have Premiere and AE open at the same time. Dynamic Link isn’t another application that ‘runs in the background’. As the feature states, the Dynamic Link feature simply permits the ability to import AE projects without actually having to output them from Premiere Pro.
The trial version of Premiere Pro 2.0 will not let you burn DVDs or edit MPEG2 files, so there is no point in trying to import or create DVD Menus for use in Premiere
I edit 4 camera projects almost everday, without an issue. A few things:
1) Media settings: Where did you acquire your footage from? What are the properties of the footage?
2) Project setings: What are your project settings?
3) You mention you have a 250gb drive. Do you only have ONE drive installed in the system?
