Oliver,
Just following up. Installed 10.10.4 on 3rd party SSD. Left it running for 2 days and drive space never filled up or changed. Not sure what else I could test for you on this system to see if it can reproduce your problem.

Are you running Premiere on the same system? Media Cache render files defaulting to the system drive vs a assigned 2nd or SAN drive?
I’ll try and update one of my older Mac Pro’s to 10.10.4 with 3rd party SSD (Samsung) and see if I have the same issue.

You can keep both versions (CC2014 & CC2015) installed at the same time. Just make sure when you install CC2015 that you go to the advance tab and uncheck remove previous version.

Salim,
What are you planning on using for hard drives to push all the 4k footage? Thunderbolt 2 raid? You will need very fast drives to handle the 4K playback. I would also recommend getting the D700 graphics cards for 4K editing. We have the D500’s on a couple of macs and they just are not cutting it for 4K multi-cam playback. I would also recommend upgrading your ram to higher than 16GB. Other options since you are using Premiere vs. FCPX, you could look into a lot more powerful Windows based computers for your 4K work.

If you uninstalled all your previous versions during the upgrade, just go to previous versions and re-download all the applications you need. CC2014 Apps will run along side of CC2015 Apps.

[Dennis Radeke] “How much RAM have you allocated to Adobe apps in the preferences? Some times folks put too MUCH RAM to Adobe. Rule of thumb is to have 50-75% to Adobe and when you have problems, generally, put LESS RAM to Adobe. So for 32GB, I would probably have 18-20GB allocated for Adobe. If you put it to 26-28GB, then that is definitely a part of your problem.
“Interesting Dennis. Thanks for the tips. How come Premiere and AME default to almost maximum amount of RAM in the preferences when first run? Wouldn’t it make sense to have the default be far less RAM if this is such a problem with sharing RAM with the OS or other programs? VS. setting up Premiere or all the Adobe applications to take a large chunk of RAM and cause potential issues for the user.

– No peak files still building. The blue bar goes away about the same time as the media loading finishes. However after it finishes loading the media I am looking at Media Pending for a good 5 minutes. After I get picture it’s another 5 minutes before I can playback picture and sound.
If premiere is still building things in the background, especially with lots of 4K footage, this will happen. What codec was your footage?
– Same version of PP on PC and Mac. I have not tried the XML trick, but at this point I have done so much work on the project that wouldn’t be practical. Maybe as a test at a later date though
Give it a shot, but with your deadline so close, you just want to get through the best you can to make delivery.
– I have not tried a new project and import of the old sequences. I’ll give that a shot and see. However I am a lille confused on this. If I do this wouldn’t I just have the sequences in the new project, and none of the bins and media? Or would I just need to reimport all the media into the new project as well?
When you import the sequence it brings in your media associated with the sequence into your Project folder. Use the media browser for things like this vs. the project import menu. Path to your old project in media browser, double click on it, should then get a menu to choose what sequences you want and them import to your project. The sequences should come in as read only so no changes can be made, but then you can select all, copy and paste into new sequence you’ve made. Once that happens your project bin should populate with all your media in the sequence.

Do you have the same issues when you set the renderer to software only vs. OpenCL in the Project Settings? Any way to revert back to 10.10.2?

Hi Michael,
How much free space is on your Raid? Your Thunder bolt 2 raid should be able to handle the 4K if the drive is not to full.
Is the project still building peak files when you first open it? (blue bar lower right hand corner of the interface) This will cause lag in playback until the peak files are done building. Are you getting any warning or events when opening the project? (little red caution icon lower right hand corner)
Did you try and have the windows user export out a XML of the project and you start with a new “mac project” and import the XML. Were you both on the same version of Premiere or is yours newer?
Have you tried starting a new mac project and importing your old sequences into the project through the media browser?
We’ve cut a couple 4K shows at the network on a lower spec’d new mac pro, but it was hooked up to a SAN via 10gig fiber and it helps with the 4K footage.
Are you finishing in 4K or HD? Is there time to transcode all the footage to ProRes and re-import?

You can install the previous version while you have the new version installed. Just go to the CC desktop ap and filter by version. Install CS7.0 which has the old feature. You won’t be able to bring it forward into the new version, but it might help you try it out. When I tried it on interviews in a multi-cam shoot in the past, results where not very accurate.
Attaching pic of Desktop CC ap so you can see where to download.
