I was hoping we would finally get support for Premiere Pro….

I believe you can downconvert componenet out while you are shooting

This was in the ‘read-me’ files for the 8.0.2 upodate

# Multiprocessing performance issues with multi-core machines, especially high-end 8-core hardware. When all 8 cores try to render a complex or memory intensive composition with Render Mutliple Frames Simultaneously, the application can become memory starved if each process has insufficient memory. To remedy this, there is a text preference to control the maximum number of cores that Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously will use. Open the text preference file and look in the [“MP”] section for: “MaxNumberOfProcesses” = “0”. “0” is the default setting, which disables this preference setting. For better performance on an 8-core machine with 8GB RAM, for example, change the “0” setting to “4” and save the preference file and restart After Effects. This restricts multiprocessing with RenderMultiple Frames Simultaneously to 4 cores, each getting approximately 2GB of RAM.
# For other performance tips using large dimension or complex compositions, see the “Improve performance” section of After Effects CS3 Help on the Web.

As far as I understand it’s better to have 4 processors using 2 gigs of RAM then 8 using 1 gig.

In the latest update of After Effects CS3 I saw a recommendation to only enable 4 processors of the 8 when you have about 8 gigs of RAM

I disabled Nucleo Pro 2. I found that AE is much more stable since then

I think you need the Kona card. The Kona sees all the duplicate frames and throws them away when you capture. That way you don’t need a frame rate converter. You only capture the frames you want and if you shoot with the Varicam at 25 fps and you have your capture settings set prperly, you don’t have a problem. I have done that several times.
