That is freaking incredible!
Who’d have thought that dragging a rarely used panel beneath the timeline would make such a difference?
It’s still not perfect, but it is so much better!
Thanks dude. If I could pronounce it, I’d name my first-born son Szalapski …but I can’t so …thanks 🙂

The version is 14.0.0.207
But there are two factors:
1- I’m in China, so updating isn’t really an option anymore. (Adobe Customer Service isn’t great and can’t work out how to update).
2- This issue has prevailed across multiple versions.

What do you mean docking the progress panel under timeline panel?
I just want the playback to work at a reasonable speed so I can edit the damn video.
The green bar loads super fast, why doesn’t the speed of playback correspond to this? (even if it didn’t load quickly, I’m patient enough to wait for it to preload, but the problem is that even when loaded, on the lowest settings possible, the playback still slows down so far as to be unusable).
I can wait as long as needed to actually render the project, it’s the editing that’s the issue.

Yeah Thanks mate.
I am limited in storage because I’m working on a surface Pro (only one USB port etc etc)
For what it’s worth I found that using another little program to snip the footage first and then importing that file to Premiere is best- As Premiere puts the file in the cache, everything gets doubled up, and it eats up limited storage- you spend more time clearing caches and moving files around than doing work!
Thanks for the help guys 🙂

Thanks mate.
When you say export, do you mean:
-Import original to separate project
-Trim it
-Export it
-Import it into new project
-Delete original file
-Repeat x20
?
There’s no way to just:
Import files
Take what I need
Discard files and keep desired footage.
?

Just to be sure I’m not barking up the wrong tree-
I’ve used a shape layer with three shapes:
“Centuries” (2x200px)
“Millenia” (2x300px)
“Decades” (2x150px)

A repeater is set on “centuries”.
Copies: 80
Offset: Copies *-1+1
Position: 30px

A repeater is set on “Decades”.
Repeater Position is locked to that of “centuries”
Copies: “centuries” *10
Offset: Copies*-1+1

A repeater is set on “Millenia”.
Repeater Position is locked to that of “centuries”
Copies: “centuries” *.1
Offset: Copies*-1+1

Now whenever I move the position or repeater position of “Centuries”, “millenia” and “decades” follows.
I’ve also managed to lock my “2000CE” text to the end position of the timeline so that follows too.
It’s the other dates that I can’t get to move with the repeated shapes
(i’m struggling with the (0,0) position for text being in the top left corner and the (0,0) position for shapes being in the centre of the layer)

Thanks for the help so far- I’ll start looking into null objects, but obviously, any help is appreciated.
