Re: A couple questions about Premiere

Well, I definitely found the answer to #3, the grind to a halt issue. And I'm able to duplicate it in CS5 AND CS6. Both of which are installed. I removed any drivers for BlackMagic. I turned off any hacked GPU acceleration and deleted the mention of it in the text file.

I discovered that when I manipulate scale, crop, rotation, position manually in the effects panel that everything zipped around naturally. As good as an NLE should. So it had something to do with manipulation in the program window.

It was my Bamboo tablet. I don't know why. Makes no sense. But if you use a Bamboo tablet pen in mouse mode (not mapped mode) and try to manipulate the image in the program window, it will grind the program to a halt. If you use the touch controls on the Bamboo, it's fine. If you use the pen in mapped mode, it's fine. But mapped mode is pretty useless for 2 monitors. This is the only app that has a problem with the pen. I use it in AE, Photoshop (obviously), FCP 7, FCP X, and have no problems.

But good to know what it is! Now I can give CS6 a proper test.
