Sorry for replying late to everyone. thanks for the info. I’m just editing on my laptop for now to get the project done before i can make time to properely try out the hardware check and driver you guys recommended trying. The other interesting thing I didn’t mention though is that with premier I get the issues but NOT with after effects! It seems strange that the issue would occur on the less powerful premier and not after effects? There’s nothing wrong with the software I isntalled (as in not corrupted or anything) as its the same package installed on my laptop and I even re-installed on the desktop.
I’m really hoping though that the driver solves it as the desktop is a slim design and replacing the graphics card to something better is going to be a problem in terms of simply getting on to fit the body 🙁
The sound card is definitely poor as is onboard and doesn’t capture sound at all.. plays sound without a problem and sounds very good in fact but is not ASIO compatible. I thus intended to capture via my trusty laptop onto an external drive and then planned to edit from that hard drive onto desktop…
Anyone think that maybe the problem is the sound card and not the graphics card? as seems the only difference that would make it crap out on premier and not after effects which doesn’t run sound except when rendering?
