Hmmm…..I also use 1920×1080 prores on Lacie thunderbolts, as well as GRaid thunderbolts. I am willing to bet you are right with the BMD. That is literally the only difference between our set ups it seems.
Hope ya get it sorted out 🙂
Cheers,

David,
Just to share my experience….(almost identical machine…only difference is mine has 16gb ram and the 6970m 1024mb)
I upgraded to cc2014 on this machine and have had little to no issues, other than the fact that syncing via the “auto” sync is broken.
I also run cc2014 on two MacBook pros i7’s and a win7 6-core PC that I built. It has been a smooth experience thus far.
What type of footage are you working with? What drives do you use for media/edit?

Jon,
To further our discussion…..here is what I do currently. I do long-form multicam work from as many as 7 cam sources and 2-3 separate audio sources. It is very labor intensive on the machine. What I have done to somewhat handle this is to ingest and transcode all of my media in Prelude to an edit friendly codec such as DNXHD or Prores. Cam record formats like mp4, or worse AVCHD are just to compressed and not friendly for editing. Especially in a multicam timeline. The reason this works well is because the format that I am transcoding to is the same frame size as my native footage. So unlinking my transcoded media in the project panel (by moving it into a different folder at the finder or explorer level to purposely cause PPRO to “lose” link to the footage) and then reconnecting to the original media works without any change to seq settings.
Soon as I have tried proxy (with lower res and smaller frame size) it has given me trouble. I admittedly haven’t tried it however since CS6.
I did use the “scale to frame size” option to try to fudge it……but it didn’t seem to work right. It’s very possible I did something wrong however I am okay currently just transcoding to Prores or DNXHD in full HD frame size because the machines I work on are strong enough just hobble through that. So it works.
If I could get PPRO to run as good as FCPX in proxy mode I would do backflips. 🙂
If you need, I can make a video of what I do in prelude and post it for ya.

I have been editing in PPRO for over ten years and would also like to know how this works exactly. I have tried it several different ways and it never really seemed to workout right. (Couldn’t get seq settings to jive back and forth properly) I use the proxy workflow in FCPX everyday and it is literally turn-key……but I would LOVE to know how it works with Adobe because we use that quite often as well because of the dynamic link to Audition, Ae, etc.
I’ve googled this awe different times over the years and I have only found people talking about it, or referring to the fact that it is possible….haven’t really found a step by step on how to make it happen. It’s almost like nobody wants to share the info LOL. So I just gave up and edited natively. Currently I am using Prelude to do my transcoding to Avid DNXHD on the PC and Apple Prores 422 on Macs. Since DSLR is roughly 50mbps the transcode to those edit formats doesn’t seem to affect my media adversely so that works…..but if I could go to a small proxy and relink to original for final export (like FCPX) I would most likely use Adobe for everything.

Someone who knows……PLEASE ANSWER.

I always had good luck until we updated to the CC 2014. I have 3 Macs and 1 Win7 machine….it seems that moving from CC to CC2014 caused this very same issue for all our machines.
Does anyone have any news as to whether this is being fixed or is even known?
syncing dslr clips to audio is a real nightmare the old fashioned way 🙁
Please advise
Eric
