I didn’t notice this was a necro’d thread…..

If you are having the same issue as the OP, check your framerates are matching.

The one thing you don’t mention is the framerate.

What is the framerate of the original footage? What is the framerate of the Cineform intermediate? What is the framerate of the Premiere project?

It sounds like a framerate mismatch is occuring at some point in the workflow, probably in Premiere if the Cineform intermediate doesn’t have the problem during regular playback in a media player.

I’m suprised no-one has mentioned the problem of Quicktime on the PC platform (it being a bit slow to decode files in a MOV container).

Premiere could be using Quicktime to decode the files which results in choppy playback. I had this issue with Nikon H.264 files in a MOV container. The workaround was to change the MOV extension to MPG which forces Premiere to try and use its own decoder for the job. Suddenly no more choppiness.

I think it might have been Todd Kopriva who explained the problem in a previous thread.

Sounds like there has been a framerate change during export.

From what I recall the Vimeo HD preset defaults to 29.97fps. Maybe you simply haven’t changed it to match your project.

I’m pretty sure HDV8 isn’t uncompressed DV, but it probably is a format for use with FCP.

VLC can play it because it uses internal codecs and just happens to support HDV8. You could try using VLC to convert the footage into something PP can understand, but I don’t know how good VLC is at conversions since I’ve never really used those functions.

A point to consider is that MS is a 32 bit app and therefore limited to a maximum 4GB of memory no matter what Windows/RAM combination you have.

If you go down the page linked above to the section on DVD Architect 3, there is a version of Magic Bullet Movie Looks you can download that still seems to work fine with Vegas. If you play about with the presets, you might find something to your taste.
