Thanks for the info Shane. I will revisit Pluraleyes. And no more MP3’s. Or at least I’ll convert them. I have not examined CS5 however when I was on CS4 Premiere did handle multiple tapes on different video lines on the same sequence. But I will give you suggestions a shot and see. Thanks again!

Donald did you ever figure this one out. I have a AJA LHi card and it is doing the same thing.

Well let me throw another wrench in the works. I’m using a MAC desk with 16 gigs memory, Adobe CS4 with a FirmTek Raid 0 drive system (4 1 tb seagate 7200 drives) and an AJA LHi card. I capture in AJA and or DVCPRO HD. So you would think I have all the bells and whistles to multicam smooth…not so. I am getting the same problem the rest of you have. I suspect the Adobe’s Multicam just doesn’t have the guts to handle HD footage. This is a major issue we all hope they address in the next issue or they might lose a boatload of editors. All the vendors including Adobe point the finger at the other guy. Now if I do this with SD footage…not an issue, only HD. Is there anyone out there multicaming with HD footage 3 or 4 cameras that does not have this problem? Lets hear from you. Whats your secret.

Satas are in removeable bays so I suspect they are not USB or Firewire. Scratch disks are set up with Adobe on C, the project data name on C in a root folder. Four directories are on the video drive (one of the two satas) as a videocapture, video audio, videopreview, audio preview and audio conform. All are NTFS. Running XP Pro, current drivers for satas, Adobe. Running SP1, Capture card is Matrox RT100 extreme.
This just started when the windows was installed. Prior to that and currently with small projects, all runs fine. It’s when I get a large project. The current one has old video clips taken from VHS and DVD via the Matrox. As soon as I do anything, open a window etc the C drive starts massive reading for 30 minutes then the project frees up and the time line srubs and all is ok. My CPU use skyrockets to 80+% while all this crap is going on. And rendering has a slight delay about every 20%. Seems like the CPU is being over taxed on. At a certain point while moving clips, rendering, laying in transition, etc the system freezes or Adobe just disappears. But it is the the system accessing the SATAs that causes the 40+ min delays when starting up. Thats the show, hope someone has ideas. Going back to Commadore 64’s soon!

No I’ve shut down everything. I am now at a 30 minute load mark. I know this is strange and not normal. I use 2 removable SATA drives and have tried switching them. No luck. I noted this started after my reinstallment of Windows XP. All drivers are in and I defrag constantly. Nothing helps. Eveything else loads and runs fine, it’s just when I fire up this project.
