Heya,
Any chance of having Blustreak on Windows?
Why is it Mac only? As far as I know there are no competiting tools like this on Windows…Dom

Are you working from an SD interlaced project?
And is the footage interlaced too?Dominic Osborne

Well, rendering out your animation should be as an image sequence, yes – otherwise if there was a crash mid-render, then you’d lose the whole sequence as you say.
However, once you have those frames, if you need to work in real-time, then there’s no issue converting/rendering to video as a next step to speed things up.
Here’s what you can do…:
– Sounds like you’re rendering finished CGI rather than something to composite, so you won’t ned the alpha channel – therefore just render as 24bit TGA or TIFF.
– Bring image sequence into Premiere. Use a project setting where Preview files are set to use the Matrox MPEG I-Frame codec, and specify the bitrate – you can go to 300Mbs in HD, though often, 150Mbs is plenty especially for preview work
– Place the animation sequences on the timeline. If they don’t play realtime, then let Premiere render a Preview – in doing this it transcodes and stores seperately your anims in the Preview format you specified for the project – MPEG I-Frame – and in the background Prem replaces your TGA/TIFF image sequences on the timeline with the MPEG I-frames for performance purposes.
– Perform your edit. It’ll be as realtime as your system can handle, including colour correction due to Matrox FX
– When you then want to export final version, you can delete the Rendered preview files, so the next time you open your project, Premiere looks for them – you tell it to ‘skip previews’ and lo…. your time in nicely edited and sitting there with original TGA/TIFF sequences on timeline, render for final Export.

Ah, sorry…
When you said TMPEG I thought you meant this product here:

Check what your Premiere project is set to be, in terms of field order. That’s under the Project menu. When you find the info, it’ll be greyed out but it should still tell you.
It may be that your project is upper field first.
Also seems something may be awry as you said you’re doing 16:9 yet the clip you’ve reported info of is suggesting it’s 4:3.
Anyway, if the Premiere project is upper field first, then right-click the clip in your timeline, go to field options, and check the ‘reverse / inverse field order’ checkbox, and that will likely help.

In TMPEG, under the MPEG settings, under the Quantize Matrix tab, check in the Special Settings area.
You may want to turn on or off the “Output YUV data as Basic YCbCr not CCIR601” checkbox, depending on if it’s currently on or not now.

I can understand completely why there is the lowering of performance in this case.
I’ve been following the matter closely as I’m about to buy the cS5 suite with HD Extreme III and don’t want a duff setup.
However, it seems that the Aja customers are sufferinng bigger performance losses compared to BM, if you check their forum here.
I hope that as CUDA and GPGPU stuff advances that there can be more data exchange back to the other internal components like BM cards in the future.
Otherwise the solution is probably a Quadro card with SDI output (highly expensive) / some way of taking DVI or Displayport feed from Quadro card and linking from that to broadcast monitor through a converter… but lose a desktop screen in the process (unless you have SLI for extra monitor connections…)
