Thank you for your quick answer, but basicly it was "old news"

Pay attention to what I said :

"This also effects playback of the media which is untouched." meaning that parts of the program that playd back normal

initialy starts to drop frame when I does editing task in other parts of the timeline.

And all parts remains yellow.

I send you an example of a program with AVCHD material and all is yellow.

In the beginning the indicator is green as you can see and all is playing normal.

But if I start doing edits, suddenly PP6 starts to drop frames - more and more . and the light turns yellow - even if I go down to 1/4 resolution.

The colored bar is still yellow.

Regards

Bjorn

I forgot to emphasize that when the playback slows down I can quit PP6 and open again.

Then everything is normal : green light, no droped frames - until I start editing again.

Pay attention to what is written in the link I posted

yellow: This segment of the sequence does not have a rendered preview file associated with it. Playback will play by rendering each frame just before the CTI reaches it. Playback at full quality will probably be in real time (but it might not be).

Note the uses of the word probably above. The colors aren’t a promise. They’re a guess based on some rather simple criteria. If you have a fast computer, then a lot of things marked with red may play back in real time; if you have a slow computer, then some things marked with yellow may need to be rendered to preview files before the segment can be played in real time.

I understand, but why is it working fine after restarting PP6 ? (until I start doing edits)

"some things marked with yellow may need to be rendered"

Press enter to render and see if that fixes the problem

Not that I would be able to help, but John: You really need to pay attention what BEL is saying:

Then everything is normal : green light, no droped frames - until I start editing again.

Renderbars are old news for him.

This can be a longshot but how about your harddrive and the disk cache? Maybe if the cache is filling up as you work (make cuts, dissolves and so on) it may affect your computer's performance. Does the cache empty itself as one restarts CS6 on a Mac? That could be an explanation.

Hei Arokki

Thank you for your reply

Agree with you:

I have had the same thoughts as you are saying : "that something is filling up" during work.

I dont know if the disk cache on the mac does emty is self on restart - but is it possible to emty it without restarting PP6 ?

Anybody who have ideas ?

You could try going to Premiere's cache setup and give CS6 significantly larger cache space. If that gives you more time to work before it gets bad, we are on the right track.

1.

i can not find how to give the cache files bigger space.

Under preferences I only find where to store the files.

2.

Could it be a "RAM buildup issue" ? I find that when playing back normal files after a restart the system has about 1 GB less free RAM.

I had this problem with Final Cut X before I switched to Adobe MC ( I was a former Final Cut Studio user)

Then I used a little ap called memory sweep pro, I have tried it no, but i does not help.

PP has neither a limit on nor a user setting for cache size, outside of those imposed by the file system and available disk space.

What do you think about building up RAM as explained before ?

Yes my mistake. What I actually had in mind was to move cache to a separate drive from where Premiere is installed or where the video files are and tune the cache settings within OSX.

Again, my apologies.

I am suspecting the problem is a memory use buildup. When I set the memory preference setting to optimize rendring : memory, I am able to get back to normal when the program start to slow down

when I use the app : Memory sweep pro. But this is not the way this program should behave ? - or is it ? I have dedicated 6GB of RAM to PP

Problem solved :

I installed OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and after that PP6 runs perfect. I have loaded tons of effects and adjustments on my timeline and it plays at full resolution exept for some of the most demanding effects, but as soon as it passes these parts it plays normal again, full resolution without dropping frames. Best regards Bjorn
