Just as an update for anyone still monitoring this thread…

I bought a Radeon card (R9 280x – 3GB) to test. So far it has been very good – there was a slight glitch the first day but since then it has not glitched out once or given me the constant screen issues I was getting.

Obviously there is no CUDA – but I never used that anyways – always just OpenCL

The render time for a test sequence I had was slightly slower with the Radeon card – but nothing to be too worried about (it is a 3GB card as opposed to the 4GB Nvidia card)

I did end up with the new OS Metal as a ‘rendering and playback’ option with this card as well – but testing this I noticed considerably longer render times…

Just thought I would pass this on. Hope it is useful…

Hi there

Was there ever any definitive resolution to this issue?

I have been having this for a while and just put up with it till I found this thread!

I thought it was my graphics card so I bought a new card – I must admit it did seem better for a while (several weeks) and today it has just started again????

See picture attached:

Help me Creative Cow. Your my only hope…..

Thanks

Julius

Did you find a solution to this?

I found another post that said you need to select each file in the project panel and right click and set its audio option to ‘Use File’.

I did this but the clips still won’t link.

I am just trying to link some proxies I made – not the real files

Thanks

Many Thanks Leslie

So about 900 hours is OK if the camera is in good physical condition i imagine?

Thanks again

Thanks Alex

I have moved the proxy folder and even deleted it entirely!

I am using the link media window and file extensions is unchecked.

Like I said I think it is actually ‘working’ in that it is using the original file after linking and not the proxy file. It just does not look like it at first glance.

• When I first create a new timeline with the original clip – there are no render bars.
• When i replace it with the proxy clip i get render bars (i assume cause the clip and sequence settings don’t match?)
• When i then take the proxies offline the clips go red in timeline
• When i relink to the originals the render bars disappear.

This all seems fine except the clips are still called ***.mp4 in the sequence (not ***.mov) and the proxy clip that was offline in the project panel is now not offline anymore. But if i right click and select show in finder it shows me the .mov file.

I guess i just want confirmation that this is how it is supposed to work? And if not what I am doing wrong?

I have followed several tutorials etc and I am pretty sure I am doing it right?

Thanks

Thanks Shane for the speedy reply.

I already have Mavericks – I don’t need to download it again.

I just want a version of Compressor 4 that works with it (Mavericks).

[Shane Ross] “Nope. If all Apple offers is one that only works with 10.10 or later, that’s all that they make available.”

This is not entirely true is it? Cause I can still download Apps like Xcode and iMovie and it tells me that the current version is not compatible with my OS would i like to download an older version?

Why would they not do this for Compressor?

I just want to know that before I install El Cap on a machine then buy Compressor that I will have this option (to download a compatible version) on my Mavericks machine.

Thanks

Sort of similar issue.

I run OSX 10.9.5

I want to use Compressor 4

I can’t download it from the App Store as it says it is only for 10.10.4

I read that if you install El Capitan then purchase Compressor I will then have the option to download an older version from Mavericks?

Is there any way I can download the older versions that are compatible without having to install El Capitan?

I don’t really want to install El Cap on another system then buy Compressor then reinstall the older OS on that system.

Thanks

Thanks Andy

I will try this from now on and see how it goes.

I did just do a quick test project:

Created sequence with XDCAM EX as preview codec etc.

Imported XDCAM EX footage through Media Browser (35sec clip)

Dropped into Sequence (yellow render bar above)

Selected Render in to out – render took about 35 secs.

Is this normal? If all is the same (footage/sequence/preview settings) why does it need to render?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply

I have been importing straight from the Project Bin (Import->then choose the folder containing all the clips etc)

Should I be doing it through the Media Browser? I did not think it made a difference other than seeing a ‘preview’ etc in the Media Browser?

Should i be setting up ‘Custom’ render settings as you mention? If so what is the best way to do this? Like I said I thought Premiere took care of this stuff in the ‘background’ when you created a sequence from a clip and created the ‘optimal’ settings for you…

Thanks again

Thanks for the reply.

Program is up to date. Latest 2015 CC version.

I have not tried a reinstall but the version I have was only installed quite recently.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
