I’ve worked on a number of doc series (hundreds and hundreds of hours worth of footage) with Premiere now and without fail, the projects get too big, too slow to load and save, never mind trying to work with an assistant and bringing in new footage, selects, assemblies through Media (bane of my existence) Browser.
I’m truly baffled by what causes project files to grow – amount of footage? number of sequences? Stills and graphics? The factors don’t seem to be consistent and I can’t find any authoritative documents on it.
Hearing that warp stabilizer and masks grow the projects is interesting – do people do them in AE and bring them back in as a work around?
Any further discussion is welcome! While there’s so much to like about Premiere, I about to ditch it for trusty Avid when it comes to projects with assistants and more than one editor.
