Keith, thanks!. I would say work with whatever fits your budget and needs. And if your Mac is a part of your life. Keep it! Relegate it to other duties. Maybe an imac will fit your needs.And and overclocked i7 would be a powerful and fiscally reasonable addition for Premiere. I wanted just to share my experience without prescribing what other should do. Just what options they might have if they followed the same path I was on. 😀

I have experienced that strange interpretation of media several times. Folks just suggested to ignore it and create a custom sequence if it bothered me. So I did!

Of course you know Chris that under the Sequence Custom option you can configure a new sequence any way you want, right?

Ive worked with both and have had no issues. The Mercury Playback Engine is as only as good as the computer you are running it on.

What are your systems specs?

Exactly. I tried to include all the really necessary components to give me speed and versatility.

I did consider those options as well it Walter. But the $13,0000 cost for the machine needed not to go up in price anymore. 😀

Hi Roland. Between the size of storage and the price point, using SSDs at his time doesnt seem warranted.Especially since the system Ive configured is costing me a bundle as it is.

The Maximus system is meant to enhance performance in BOTH PrP and AE.

I have seen Juan & Danny’s chart. After lots of consideration I dont see myself doing a lot of ray tracing in AE when Zax Proanimaor does more and looks better.

But for the little I do the Maximus should give it a good boost.

Admittedly, I am still open to options when it comes to the GPU. To bad the K2Nvidia Kepler card isnt due out until next year. That might address all my needs better.0

Hey Mike, thanks a lot for the info. Once I feel good about covering that base I will have almost no worries at all. 😀
