Hello Nick,
Thanks for the advice.
Well, my original text is in French and I’m translating it to English that’s why.Nope, I don’t know Pierre Repond. What does he do ?

I figured it out, I had to change audio setting for the clips, to mono with one channel (which is what was recorded) before creating the proxies. It all worked now.

Hello David,
Thanks for the advice. It makes sense….
These Mp3 are preview files, I’ll try converting to AIFF to see how it reacts.Alexandre

Hello Kannan,
Interesting, I did not know about Promise Pegasus. Another option.
Thanks for suggestions about RAID 5 and about storage sizes.
I haven’t gone and bought any RAID yet so this info will definitely help !Thanks,

So I tried a Cineform proxy for one clip, same frame rate and resolution. The playback problem is the same…

Hello Chris,
Thank you for the feedback and advice.
I tested playback without Lumetri applied to a Proxy clip and the choppy playback is still an issue when playback is set a Full resolution. If I put the playback at 1/2 resolution, it is no problem with or without Lumetri and LUT’s applied. This is both the case if I playback the clip in the sequence or the clip alone and watch in the Source monitor.
I looked at my activity monitor during playback at Full resolution of a Proxy clip with Lumetri applied to it, I still have about 65% of my CPU which is “Idle” so I guess I’m not overloading it.
I have not found the “Enable accelerated Intel h.264 decoding” in the preferences, neither add premiere in NVidia Control Panel. I assume these settings are PC specific (I’m on mac). I did disable Mercury Transmit.
To me the problem is coming from PP. Currently, both my Full resolution, original UHD media and the Proxies are in the same hard drive (external 3.5” Lacie connected by Thunberbolt2) which should not be a bottle neck for 37 Mbit/s proxies. If I playback the proxy clips in QuickTime from the hard-drive, the playback is perfectly smooth…
I have not worked with Cineform before, I might test a clip with it and see what happens.
Thanks

Hello there,
You should read this page about the Proxy workflow
https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/ingest-proxy-workflow-premiere-pro-cc-2015.htmlBecause your editing hardware is a bottleneck in your workflow, try to work with light proxies, HD of even SD with a small bitrate. You can try to make HD proxies in Apple ProRes Proxy codec (matching frame rate) for example and see how this works on your system.
Good luck !
