    I just ran Premiere Pro again this morning and it took, seriously, 1 minute 11 seconds to load and open a simple project. This is going back today. There is definitely something wrong with it.

    You know, this is really shockingly bad. I’ve got PPro open, I imported some files. I have a video file open in the source panel. I scroll down the Project panel to get another file to put on the time line, and the Project panel is sliding up over the Source window! Seriously! I’m really getting po’d. I mean that’s Windows 98 quality graphic crappiness.. Here’s a screenshot. Interestingly while I was saving this to web, THAT popup box disappeared except for the slider that increases the image quality!

    Tell me I’ve got a lemon herre, please. Look at the screen grab so you know I’m not nuts.

    I just did dl speccy. Everything seems ok. 4 cores, etc. I’m still tweaking. It just seemed to me that a computer with all this firepower should be loads faster than my consumer pc, even with default settings. Pressing forward…

    I was just going to go into the BIOS after checking this thread. I’m really disappointed with the behavior of PPro so far. It’s dropping a ton of frames either scrubbing or playing the timeline. It can’t be THIS bad just because I only have one HDD, can it? You know how light on effects my videos are. Anyway, on to the BIOS.

    Thanks, Dave, but if you saw my earlier post, and I do realize this thing is 80 posts long now, I did mention that I don’t sit around waiting for others to do the work for me, I do research on my own as well. This really seems for some reason to be above my brain limitations compared to what i’ve done in the past, so I appreciate the help.

    Now, I updated my driver, I tried to install CUDA but it wouldn’t let me. It said it couldn’t find the drivers or something. However, CUDA is no longer grayed out and PPro actually defaults to it.

    Now for some negative. I realize I don’t have the optimum setup right now (1 HDD, haven’t tweaked PPro settings, etc.), but I am extemely disappointed in the performance so far. It’s actually slower than my baby PC, sometimes barely faster. Is this to be expected until I add a 2nd HDD? I’m going to go over the stuff you guys gave me to do, but this thing better speed up a bit or it’s going back. (Hint: I’m looking for encouragement here).

    Hey Joe, I used NVidia’s java based driver detector and found a more recent version. Installing it and the CUDA driver now.

    Thanks Joe, but you should really take some Remedial Link Classes 😉 That didn’t work either. Yeah, I’ll try searching for that card specifically because it’s not in their dropdown list. Moving along swiftly, down to my last Adobe app, then on to the plugins, then update drivers, BIOS, and done!

    THanks, Dave. Joe, my graphics card is not on the list, but I was at NVidia a few minutes ago and I don’t see an X 4800 card listed.

    ok, here’s an easier question (I’ll do the BIOS thing later). Just got Premiere Pro installed, clicked on New Project, and Video Rendering and Playback is grayed out to Mercury Playback Engine Software Only. Why would I not have access to CUDA?
