In the early days of non-linear editing, offline (rough cut/fine cut) edits were created with low res files. And then once an edit was locked the low-res timeline would be swapped out for the online quality files and all of the unused media would be removed from the project through media management.

Today the offline to online edit process is still alive but the offline process has been merged with the online process through the creation of proxies.

But in both of these scenarios, the edit starts with having all of the media available in order to determine what will work best. And its’s only after a timeline becomes locked that media management comes into play.

[Simon Ubsdell] “I’m not sure it’s fair to suggest that one default operation is more correct or desirable than an other in this case.”

I’m happy to be working in Premiere but I still miss the perfection of Avid’s design and workflow.

Are you playing back through use of GPU acceleration or are you rendering your sequence before playback? If there’s choppiness in the sequence after rendering it that would be quite odd indeed. But if you’re playing back unrendered files you could run into a random file that trips up the gpu acceleration.

export the warp stabilized footage to pro-res or dnxhd and work from those files.

[Alan Okey] “I’m amazed how many editors can’t read or won’t use scopes.”

Editors who have never worked in television or cable tv might never have had the training on how to properly use scopes.

But even if you don’t know scopes, If you are a professional editor delivering product to clients you need to calibrate your main edit monitor so that you can have the confidence that you’re delivering a solid color accurate product. A calibration tool like xrite’s i1 pro should be part of any edit suite set up.

[Simon Ubsdell] “Why not just hit F and I simultaneously? That would be “automatic” …”

My years as an Avid editor have trained my fingers to expect certain actions from keyboard commands and so I’m usually disappointed when other NLE’s can’t be customized to operate in the same fashion.

I’m also still patiently waiting for track patching in Premiere Pro as well.

[Todd Perchert] “Biggest bottleneck? Storage. “

yeah, you need to upgrade to a raid as well.

I too use Premiere every day and there’s a few things that are annoying about the program- i.e., when I match frame a clip in my timeline, in the source window the in point isn’t automatically set at that frame. (btw, this is my top complaint so if anyone knows a setting that would allow for automatic in point marking when match framing I’d be very appreciative.)

However, your three issues appear to be local to your situation. I’ve never encountered any of these problems.

My apologies if you’ve already tried this:

Can you take all of the proxies offline and then re-link your merged clips to the master video files and the secondary audio?

your cpu is underpowered, you need more ram (32 gig) and you should upgrade your gpu as well.
