You can try HDV split and then import the files into Premiere Pro. It’s a freeware program that saves HD files as mts which can be read by premiere.

I know, but I was talking about the rendered files IN premiere pro on the timeline showing inaccurately. I seem to have fixed it by deleting the affected preview files and re-rendering them.

This 12GB seems to be a minimum to consider for serious editing. Right now, this is my rig
i7 920
500GB 7200 RPM
1TB ESATA external
9GB DDR 3 RAM
GTS 250 512MB RAM
Windows 7 64bitWhat would you guys suggest would need upgrading if one component needed it?

And I was just about to come in here to ask if I should upgrade my 9GB system to 12GB. Lol.
I’ve seen After Effects eat memory. All 9GB of it. However, it seems to me these Windows machines need a lot of RAM for things to function at its proper performance. Is this the same with the Mac systems?

Ah, thank you Anne. This is what I will consider for my next set of workstations.

Good suggestions so far. I saw some editors recommending Asus motherboards as well although I am familiar with Gigabyte from some of our local desktop builders so I’ll look into that. And what about graphics cards? What would you choose now for Premiere CS5? Especially if this is your business.

Its a feature length horror film, first in the Caribbean. It’s called 3 Line, for the cutlass with three etched lines in the blade.
And glad you like our beaches, the movie mainly takes place on an isolated village near the Trinidadian coastline. 🙂
I’ll see what I can do with the relinking of the preview files, but I took your advice with the maximum selection (next to use previews) and the final render for Act 1 took about 6 hours.
I figure once I leave it in Media Encoder for a day, everyone should spit out just fine.

Well, they would be time savers. Right now we are exporting stuff for review and have magic bullet looks. But we should not use preview scenes for final as this would not be of a high quality?
I am exporting in mpeg quality 4, would this matter at this level?

In my circumstance, when I open the project file it does not ask me for anything. It opens all the files where they are supposed to be. Thus, I don’t get the chance to select the preview files.
This is why I would like to force the relink if possible.
