It’s 26MB in size. Can’t send it through traditional email. Any suggestions?

Some specs: Project size is 64.8GB according to the Premiere Project Manager.
First test: Disabled everything, including virus software. After defocus/restore focus (minimize/restore) on Premiere, took 90 seconds to reload. In conclusion, no change.
Second test: Now THIS made a difference. Followed your instructions, then minimized/restored Premiere, and NO reload! I could playback immediately. Granted, it was not RT playback, so frames dropped and stuttering occured.
Just to make sure, I put the plug-in back in the folder…the problem was back.Third: To further clarify…the problem also occurs if I simply minimize then restore Premiere.
Thanks for working through this with me.

Haven’t tried first and second yet. On the third:
IE was just an example. It occurs when I remove focus from Premiere to any other program, then go back to Premiere. It even occurs if I close the other program (so that only Premiere is now running) and go back to Premiere. In a real world situation, it occurs when editing assets in Photoshop from Premiere or editing audio from Premiere in Adobe Audition.

I spoke too soon. It DOES NOT happen with DV captured footage. After writing this and posting, I went back and looked at the problem projects. They were all Quicktime MOVs captured through SDI as 8bit YUV uncompressed. It looks like a AJA Xena issue. Something about their codec is slowing Premiere to a crawl. But, thanks Vince for your reply. I’ll try a few more tests on the subject.

BTW the bug is fixed in ver 2.0

For 90 minutes, PCM audio on a single layer DVD: change your bitrate setting to 5.0 mbps. For Dolby Digital audio, you can go as high as 6.15 mbps.
As long as there is no outrageous movement in the video (running with the camera, zip pans, etc.), you should have perfectly clean MPEG output.

Some important notes:
Your AVID project cannot contain gaps used as filler. If you need black video, you must create it and insert it. You can do this from the source window.
In Encore versions 1.5 or earlier, your video and audio cannot be embedded together if the project is longer than something around 20 minutes or so. If it is, you must export video-only reference file first, then a seperate wave file. Encore 2.0 fixes this.
Otherwise, I have had no problem sending QT ref files into Encore 2.0, despite the length. I have gone as far as 2.5 hours.
Let me know if you want my QT ref export settings. Maybe something is different there. Also, what version of AVID are you running?

Thanks everyone for your help. Concerning the CPR: I see multiple versions of MC Adrenaline in there. What is stopping me from downloading an even newer version , such as 2.x, and installing it instead? Do I need to update the dongle? AVID mentions that in the Knowledge base somewhere. Just wondering. For the record, v 1.6.7 worked fine.
Thanks

I usually get this when I have an unusually large image and try to use Scatter effect, large Blur effect, long shadow or something similar that increases the image/item/object to go beyond 5000 pixels. If you have any effects applied to a layer that “spreads” the image out, try turning it of and see if it will render now.

I appreciate the reply. However, the feature that you call “unsupported” by Xena (playback of the multicam monitor) makes the entire feature useless. Why would anyone use multicam if they were unable to actually play the video and make real-time cuts? Do you really expect someone to scrub a time line and make editing decisions based on that?
A far as I’m concerned, the entire multicam feature is unsupported by Xena.
