[Dennis Radeke] “P2 is great and Intraframe. I also like OP1a MXF (Sony XDCAM)”
I guess you mean DVCPRO HD? P2 is just a storage format (like SD or CF card).
This thread has made the nanoFlash seem like the perfect external recorder at this point for a Premiere workflow, given its XDCam codec and MXF wrapper system.

[Oliver Peters] “Actually NLEs don’t make good use of multiprocessors. They may use all the cores in a single processor, but they don’t make good use of more than one processor. That’s why a faster 4-core will often outperform a slower 8-core.”
Not from my research. Premiere CS6 will use whatever you can provide, including multiple processors.

Tom, thanks for posting your experience. I’ve been looking into a similar setup and it’s great to hear other experiences with it.

Ben, you might test out Adobe Media Encoder to transcode into either DVCPRO HD or AVC-Intra into their MXF formats. I’m considering trying that out myself.

[Dennis Radeke] “There is no pixie dust and Premiere Pro typically just works with codecs without any difficulty. However, because Avid licenses DNxHD and it is propietary, Adobe does not support that in its native MXF wrapper which would be the right way to do it.”
Given this situation, it seems like, ideally, if you’re unhappy with the performance of native AVCHD or H.264 video, perhaps transcoding to AVC-I or even DVCPRO HD in the P2 MXF wrapper format would be the way to go?
For the most part my footage is playing fine under Premiere CS6 (MacBook Pro Early 2011, 16GB RAM, Crucial M4 SSD and footage resides on a striped G-RAID Mini that is hooked in via eSATA and is rated at a 500MBps read speed), but it seems to easily get bogged down to the point where playblack lag creeps in, requiring a restart (for instance, I used the volume controls on the keyboard to adjust the audio level output to my speakers and it immediately caused Premiere to start lagging on playback and required a restart, which fixed the problem).
I’m editing AVCHD and it seems like I could alleviate a bit of frustration with that by transcoding to AVC-Intra MXFs.
As a side note, does this 32-bit process extend for EVERY file that has a .MOV extension? So AVCHD is typically .MTS, which I would assume is processed at 64-bit, but does that mean the H.264 files off a Canon DSLR in the QuickTime file extension wouldn’t get that treatment?

[Paul Jay] “I still prefer a non hard crash system.”
Thanks for contributing nothing, troll.

I have a G-Raid Mini set to RAID 0 and hooked in via FireWire and getting some playback performance issues. Sounds like I need to switch over to eSATA and try that.

[Herb Sevush] “If you can’t understand the difference between these 2 types of arguments perhaps you should consider giving another look at Franz’s chart.”
Then they’d have to turn in their Apple Corporation fanboy card!

Seems legit.
