I have 200 clips. Is there a way to automate comp creation?

Problem solved. Issue was in the FW800 interface. There is a bug between the way the FW800 I/O works and they way Premiere seems to do its reads/decompression/interpretation of Nikon’s codec.
I changed to the E-sata port with an expresscard interface to the MPP using the same G-Tech Mini drive and it now plays smoothly indefinitely. Yes e-sata is a faster interface, but I still think there is a FW800 bug somewhere.

Sorry I was not clear. Footage is on external G-RAID Mini drive via Firewire 800 connection. Even with no filters/transition etc. The playback stutters after about 15-20 minutes of program use (eg; during logging footage). If it were drive speed issue, the footage would stutter from the start and and problem would not clear up with a program restart.
It’s as if PP6.0.0 and PP6.0.1 has a caching/memory management problem with AVCHD footage. Problem specific to Nikon D4, D800 footage. (I am also aware to the old problem with PP5.5 requiring Nikon footage to be renamed from mov to mpg. Tried that too. same bug.)
I am a former Apple Certified FCP, also use AVID Symphony 6. Been editing for most of my life. Its not a rookie thing. 🙂

Have this exact machine with 5770 graphics card. CS6 runs better than CS 5.5 for sure. Runs fairly well but not stellar.

Avid needs to trash their site and start over. It’s a mess of years of continual updates.

Looks like old Mac OS 9. Really outdated. Also the multiple windows that float and are not connected is really hard to get your arms around. Been testing Premiere 5.5. Like, looks like a go to switch.

Sorry, typo its 140 tracks, not 40.
-
Heard Pro Tools 9 now runs 96 tracks. Folks on new i7 are getting 40 tracks real time no stutter. V9 first version without need for external hardware.

Agreed! I’m off to Premiere.
