It’s so strange. I’m really at a loss. I’ll try and get Adobe support, I guess. It’s basically an unusable app the way it lags like this….

Right – I always have my footage on my 8 TB FIrewire 800 drive – which never gave me issues in Final Cut Pro. I was desperate to try anything, so I put the footage on my main drive to see if that would help – someone else earlier told me the firewire drive was the bottleneck. So it seems that it’s not where the footage is stored, since the issue might even be worse now… :O
Is there any other issue I’m not thinking of that would cause such awful lag using H.264 footage in Premiere?

THANKS!!!!!!

Thanks. I can’t use the native because I’m using an eyeTV HD box to capture from my DVR and Premiere won’t recognize their native format. That said, I export it as an H.264, which is the eyeTV’s native format but I get the most ridiculous lag.
If I switch to my text edit app for a few seconds, then back to Premiere, I literally have to wait 5 or 6 seconds for Premiere to catch up and play the video (the audio plays and the playhead moves, the video just doesn’t catch up.)

If you could give me any other insight, I’d cry from happiness. I’m about to throw my new, very fast computer out the window….

Thanks for the response. I put everything on the main hard drive – still get the awful lag. FCP never lagged with the same drive, but I can’t imagine it’s the hard drive. Any other ideas?

Thanks – could I get a specific or two? I’m a Final Cut guy, proxies aren’t really in my vocabulary…

Hmmm. If I have to move a clip across the screen, I can only use the arrow keys? I still think I need to drag the mouse all the way over to the transform tool button to activate it. Isn’t there a shortcut to get into transform mode?

Thanks – I’m actually trying to get After Effects to behave correctly – not the After Effects footage in Final Cut. I’m looking for the correct way to import the FInal Cut Quicktimes into After Effects by either changing the export settings of FCP or the Comp settings in AE. Any help would be appreciated.
