[Erik Mickelson] “Even Speedgrade is a one-way harddrive bloating experience”
You don’t have to use Send to SpeedGrade (which transcodes to DPX), you could export an EDL and link to existing media. That method adds no extra space to your hard drive.
If you’ve got problems troubleshooting OpenCL performance with the MacBook Pro, let’s do that.
- What kind of footage are you working with?
- Does footage play any differently with the Mecury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA) disabled?
- Are the latest drivers for your AMD card installed?
- Have an external RAID? How is it formatted? How is it connected?
- Are you running OS X Lion, or Snow Leopard?
- Any other devices connected?

[Andrew Richards] “Terence Curren said he tried to line up someone, anyone, using Premiere Pro for film or TV work to come to this year’s pre-NAB Editor’s Lounge. But he said he couldn’t, even after calling Adobe. Was Team Coco unavailable?”
No, that was a miscommunication between Terry and I. We are rescheduling someone for a post NAB Editor’s Lounge. Stay tuned.

[Eben Abbaan] “Effects are not, really. But I am curious whether a CUDA-enabled card will improve responsiveness in the timeline… J-K-L shuttling/scrubing, etc…”
No. RAM and CPUs are more responsible for processing in the timeline. I have 32GB of RAM and everything is really snappy.
If you want to know more about what CUDA is and what it does, see this blog post:

[Garrett Gibbons] “I’m glad that PPro is stable for you. You’re the first I’ve heard of that hasn’t complained about the app crashing several times per hour. I have 4 GB RAM per core on a 4-core machine and I doubt that lack of RAM is the problem for most users. It’s gotten slightly more stable but is still bad for me.”
Crashing several times per hour? You’ve heard that from other users too? We aren’t hearing that from our users at all. 4GB RAM with a Premiere Pro system is the bare minimum. You simply need a more modern computer system to run the program smoothly.

You’ll get way more RT effects with an NVIDIA card. If effects are your bag, you might want to get one.

Unfortunately, OpenCL support for the Mercury Playback Engine is for the MacBook Pro only. Sorry.
