Yes! You can.

But you wont be able to authorize the software on the new system until its deauthed from the old one.

But you can definately begin the installation process.

Hey Jon,
Thanks for the quick reply 🙂

My bitrate was already set to 15Mb.
The thing thats weirding me out is the asset in the project window says “Untranscoded” and “transcode settings: motion menu”
despite the fact that ALL i have in there are highlights and the source file is an h264 file, which when i import it and dont link it to the menu says that it doesnt require transcoding..

Im at a bit of a loss here, and im about to rebuild the project from scratch to see if it helps at all, unfortunately i have about a billion other techie problems to fix before i get to this one!

are yo trying to play them from the bin or in a timeline?
Ive been getting a similar error when playing back media in a timeline because the renders are f**ked for some reason
so ive render managed the timeline, re-rendered and its all happy days after that

H264 aint bad really, its high quality and can be transcoded in any decent DVD authoring program (DVD STudio pro or Encore)

If you’re worried about using a compressed format and want to maintain the highest quality going into your transcode (and have lots of hard drive space to spare!) then export uncompressed.

Im finding H264 to be great for the job im currently working on, and given that a DVD is mpeg2 compressed Standard Def footage, the HD (1920×1080) H264 files im feeding encore look great when downconverted!

Hope this helps.

i agree, totally agree.

But it needed to be said. Or got off my chest.

If im working on an hour and a half project in DV thats not terribly out there as far as edits go, and the system constantly hangs, crashes and generally makes my friday night miserable.. theres clearly something wrong!

Next time im just going to use final cut, if not for my sanity then to save from going completely grey in a short timespan.

In fact id encourage anyone at adobe to go out with 4 cameras, film ANYTHING for 2 hours.
Throw them in a multicam timeline and do an edit.. doesnt matter where.. just make a whole bunch of cuts for an hour and a half – 2 hours and watch the program turn into a lumbering beast.
Ive seen it on so many systems now i cant accept its anything but the software.. these are pretty high end systems too. Its DV for christs sake, why should it take me 20 hours to render a dv timeline to a dv .mov ? Final cut does it in 20 minutes!

I moved the project to Final Cut Pro 🙂

seems to be a problem with RT Extreme. If i disable it on whatever media im using then i get realtime playback at full quality.

BUT i dont get correct output through my multibridge extreme

well it was exporting uncompressed
but i was assuming that it was using the preview files (it wasnt)

and the export was being done to an external SATA drive, not the internal raid

but, given that AME decided to re-render everything to a single SATA drive i guess explains why the “export” was taking so long, because it was in fact a render

i tried it again to the internal RAID today and it was much faster (using preview files)

once the job is done today ill give it another go without using preview files to the internal RAID and see what the time is like then

hang on.. so if i use my already created preview files AME can put double compression on to my export ?

are these programmers on drugs ?
