Re: A couple questions about Premiere

I thought it might be graphics card related, as the 6970m isn't technically supported. But it occurs just as bad in software only mode. And if it doesn't work for basic functionality in software only mode, on the newest iMac there is full of RAM goodness, then what mac will it work on? I know, the two cards on Macbook Pros.

I'm starting to think it's the BlackMagic drivers. OR, the fact that the xdcam is wrapped in QT. From what I understand from the Adobe guys, it kinda kills the performance of the Mercury engine when it has to go into QT support mode. I know that applies to ProRes, but didn't know it would include native codec XDCam. I have had the same results with native 5D footage.

I think I'll try grabbing some XDCam directly from the dupe of the card via the media browser and try playing with blackmagic turned off.

As for audio scrubbing not having a hot key: SERIOUSLY? Wow. What an oversight. That's sort NLE 101 isn't it?

And stopping the timeline so often, that's the kind of thing that should be a preference. Not audio scrubbing. If I want to stop the timeline, I'll press stop.

Anyway, looking promising if I can figure out the performance issues.
