I didnt even think you were ON VISTA
cant help you there, most of the people we work with have stayed smart and stayed with the more (Stable) XP so far

but still 97 processes is a lot, thin down you should notice a difference, IMHO though 3 HOURS to do ANYTHING is shamefully nonproductive

ADOBE really isnt trying to make any new friends are they?

I can see a movie editor (tell the studio) we know you want the film done in a month, but premiere pro says the render will take 30 months, and the encoding another 10 lol

Thats why film pros use AVID (We never got it to work though!)

[Jason Harris]

dont want to sound mean, but you have 97 PROCESSES running!

That would slow ANY pc down, that 97 things your processors have to do, and firefox is a MEMORY PIG (no matter what they do they will not fix the leak yet)

slim down and try again

AGREED THO

CS4 is disgustingly SLOW on all systems, its either live with it or go back to CS3 where its triple faster and much more productive, and even better, your not MISSING out on anything!

ok to close this out

it was the CONVERTER that was messing up, it was only putting 12 secs of video in the converted MOV files

new converter and most everything matched up fine

thanks to all for the help

I am not going to get into it to much here, but the CS4 encoder is still painfully slow, i might switch back to cs3 for that alone!

I am chiming in on this post because i am having some of the same issues

what happens is i used some sub par footage for an ppro project

i want to replace all these mpg files with the high res mov files and keep all the edits and transitions

it all works on the first clip but then it goes to crap and look at the screenshot for a better reference

any thoughts

FYI this post is new and fresh to the older one

any background info can be found at that link

ok i added this to shed some more light

the area in the blue rectangle seems to be the issue

ITS WAY TO FAR down on the clip, and no matter what i drag or try to add in or out points its like the clip is locked in read only

i figured a visual would help everyone

any more thoughts on this

the source and the replacing footage are EXACT (frame rate and length)

Im stumped

[Jason Harris]

Alex

some of the clips were duplicated in the bins, and they all used the same source file though, also some of the clips had slo mo applied to them

any thoughts

i noticed when a clip had NOTHING (no fx or anything applied to it) it was an even swap (well the jitteryness was gone, but we wanted that 😉

jon

i knew it was wishful thinking but i will keep trying tomorrow

what happens now is

i CONVERT ALL files that are used in the project,

then i go to the timeline and click “reveal in project”

then i click “replace footage” to each file

the jitters are going away but so is some of the clips, it will start to play on the timeline with the first clip, but once it gets past the transition to the second that clip starts to play then just gos to black for some reason, i am also noticing diagonal bars showing up wherever i replace the clips on timeline, i have never seen these before

im sure its close, just a few more things to work out, but it looks like this footage conversion may be the ticket after all

thoughts?

A crazy thought

couldnt i convert all the footage and RENAME it with the SAME names as adobe already sees,

then open the project (the file we had issues with) in adobe and redirect the path to the footage, this would prevent having to knock out all the work on that vid

crazy i know, but it MIGHT work right, after all its just filenames!

[Jason Harris]

ok so here we are

i did find a 30.0 fps on one of the videos (this was taken with a TRIPOD) so no camera shake should be apparent

I set up a sequence for NTSC 29.97 (close enough) and outputted a file, i noticed “some ticks” in it but not as bad as before

i also took the SAME file and converted it using MOV quicktime 4:3 same resolotion and same framerate 29.97 fps

the resulting mov file was MUCH smaller, i added some fx and i outputted another version of an flv file

all settings on two files were identical

Please keep in mind i am only trying to find what WORKLS to make do with what we have, if adobe cannot work with this let me know, i have so much editing to do, i would like to try and stick it out, once i get the “ticks and shakes” to go away i think all will be fine

thanks to everyone who helped and is continuing to help me
