Yes, 3 drives in RAID 0 should get you there. Make sure you at least get matching 7200 RPM drives.

Hi Christopher,
You will definitely need to look at the supported NVidia cards for the performance you are looking for.
Unfortunately, there aren’t many to choose from unless you are willing to do some minor file editing.
And as Jeff mentioned, you’ll need a solid RAID array, you didn’t mention what you were pulling footage from.

Hi Yogesh,
TGA is basically uncompressed. It will require a solid CPU/ and a good amount of RAM, but also a RAID array to keep up with the data.
If you are working of a single drive, that would be the first thing I would look at upgrading.

Richard,
For a single machine, you could start with an CALDIGIT HDElement. (Around $1800.00 for 4TB, includes card).
You’ll get around 400 MB/S reads / writes. It’s very solid hardware as well and you can’t beat the price/performance.
We have both an HDPro and HDElement and they’ve performs flawlessly for many years.

Hi Harvey,
First I would have to ask why you chose the NTSC DV codec. If you are exporting for further editing, I would recommend QT Animation or PNG, or if you don’t have a RAID system that can handle the data rate, high quality H.264. H.264 is also the best option for playback on Windows.
As for the faded color, it’s a common problem with the Quicktime player in Windows. It handles the gamma incorrectly, making the blacks appear much lighter. You can search for Quicktime gamma fixes, but none are a perfect solution. My advice is using Windows Media or VLC for playback.

Hi dave,
Can you send me your sequence, just include one of your clips (https://send.kaptis.com).
I’ll see if I can reproduce the issue.

Hi Dave,
Does it happen throughout the video?
What format are you working with, what are your sequence settings?
Any particular filters?
What happens if you export a known native format with the exact same settings?

Are you using a P2 reader, or straight from the camera? Do you have the latest P2 drivers. Pretty much out of ideas, I do this a pretty regular basis with no issues…

It should show the total once imported. Are you saying all three machines are exhibiting the exact same behavior?

Hi Matt,
You did not mention Mac or PC? Make sure you use the Media Browser panel to import the files, also only import files from the Video folder, not the entire content folder.
The other solution, if you upgraded over the previous version, could be using the Adobe Cleaner Tool, then do a fresh install.
Footage on P2 cards is always broken into 4GB files because the card format (FAT) is limited to 4GB files. If you use the Media Browser, Premiere will recreate the full files (Spanning) if they were over 4GB.
