Some more information:
I’m building 26 machines for a classroom setting. I’ve read that the G45 chipset works with H-264 streams (as well as MPEG-2). If Premiere Pro can take useful advantage of this, it would eliminate the expense of providing 26 separate graphics cards. These students aren’t going to be doing anything fancy–no multi-cam, multi-stream projects–just the basics.
Gigabyte and Intel offer mATX mobos with G45/ICH10R chipsets, which would allow for small footprint workstations. Now, I know these boards are designed/positioned more for the Home Theatre markets.
But—If PP CS4 can take advantage of the on-board graphics, and it provides some speed/efficiency edge, then I can save $$ (and space and heat) by skipping the added graphics cards, and transfer those funds into faster Duo 2 Quad (Q6600) CPUs.
So, my question is: Can PP CS4 make use the on-board graphics of the G45 Northbridge, or should I step across to the P45, and fill the graphics card slot?

Do you get the same slow rendering/exporting, if you use a 1000×1000 PSD (or jpg, etc.) still, in your 5 second test, when you scale below 50%?

“Premiere Pro 2.0 takes an extremely long time to render stills. I can confirm it and so can many others. You are not the only one.”
Does GPU accelleration have any effect on this?

Thank you, Tim, for your response. I’ve since changed my approach for these files. It does require more steps than before: I now start a project in the smaller resolution, import the smaller files, and immediately export them to full-size, standard DV-AVI. I then import these files in to my standard projects. The difference in clarity is significant enough as to have me revisit a few archived projects to replace the fuzzier clips. The upside is that I no longer need to render the clips in the project.
Thanks again for the theorizing.

Not replaced. Augmented by. The rubbers are still there.

So Steven:
What were your impressions of the Tour stop?

Tim:
Well put. Looking back always reveals current advantages. As for the complainer/complaint ratio, left out was the ratio of silent, content users vs. complainers.

Nice and easy does it, every time.

Peter:
Did your extensive testing include groups of high rez stills?
