“Indexing” seems like a Quicktime or mpeg2 dialog.
What did you export to from AE ?Vince

David, I’m not sure I completely agree with that statement about memory. I have been working on a two hours 1080i (not HDV) project without any major issues. The timeline isn’t as snappy as DV of course, but it’s definitely not giving me errors or constant freezing. A large amount of uncompressed footage will however take my system down, no doubt about it.
The problem here, is that most of the threads don’t mention memory speed, buffer, bus speed etc., so comparisons can’t really be made. Bad memory sticks aren’t uncommon either. Premiere definitely needs some work in the memory area, but I’m no advanced programmer, so I’m afraid I can’t criticize Premiere for the way handles files; but I wouldn’t give up quite yet on those issues. People also often mix different types of RAM, throwing of the timing, and that can be a no no for demanding apps.
Again Mark, let us know what the errors are when you see them, and email Adobe as well, that can also help them work out any possible issues in the future.
Cheers,

There is motion JPEG, I believe that’s under Quicktime, but no sequence.

Just do an export of a work area that is one second long, or one frame long, then look at the properties for that file.
If you are working in Standard def, and are exporting to AVI uncompressed 8 bit, it averages out to around 110 GB per hour.

I forgot what the difference is exactly, but your icons / thumbnails will look different in the project bin when they are present in the timeline.

The DVD error might be something else, or it might not…. BTW, by HD, do you mean HDV, or True HD ?
You also want to look at the CPU load when you are editing. Adobe does list a dual Intel Xeon 2.8 as system requirement for HD. HDV might not be as CPU hungry, but a dual core is really going to be needed as well.
Could you post the error message when you see it again ? And are you just down converting to SD on export? If so, I would recommend down converting to SD before editing (yep a little late now 😉 PP2 does a pretty poor job at it, and then your speed will of course drastically improve.

For HD, memory will not do much about speed, but the CPU will take most of the load. A dual core is probably going to be needed as part of the upgrade to get a stable machine. Do a Ctrl Alt Del > Performance, and I’m sure you’ll see your CPU stuck at 100%.
Good luck,

You haven’t mentioned your system specs, and whether or not you are editing rendered clips.

Probably a dumb question, but are all your tracks mono or stereo ?

The majority of grain is usually found in the blue channel, that’s why you are probably noticing it a lot more. You may want to try applying a little “Channel Blur” to that blue channel. Keep in mind that the grain remover in AE works on that same principle, so your render time is going to take a considerable hit either way. You’ve got to suffer to be beautiful she said 🙂
