Why do I get choppy playback in Adobe Premiere Pro cs6?

[enelson113]

The playback is really choppy.

What I am using:

(Brand New) iMac

Processor  3.2 GHz Intel Core i5

Memory  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX 1024 MB

Nikon D5100 DSLR

Shot in 1080i 30 fps

Thanks

An i5 and DSLR video is not a great combination

Yes, take your question to the Hardware forum.  But I'd be wondering about your drives?  When I built my 3930K system a year and a bit ago, it still stuttered in the timeline until I added a raid0 for the project files, (with DSLR H.264 footage)

I converted the files and lowered playback quality, helped a lot but still some issues when get into major editing.

I don't know how you got that MVP title because both of your answers were so useless. First of all, I don't think an i5 of 3.2ghz really has a problem with DSLR cameras and how it can handle it. Second, the fact that he's using 1080i with 30fps should not be giving him issues in post. So your links are not for this forum my friend, thank you.

I cannot believe how bad the playback is in Premiere Pro CC, and, how little help there is out there. Raw MOVs from a 5D plays back like garbage on my laptop or 8 core Mac Pro. Its ridiculous. I'm better off transcoding to ProRes and using FCP which works, or God forbid, go back to using Avid like its 1999. Unfortunately It has nothing to do with the two graphic cards or 32 gigs of memory I have either, it just plays back like garbage. Using the JKL keys is completely awkward because the lag between hitting the key and playback is excruciating. I'm at 1/2 resolution and it cant play back footage without being choppy. no FX, and the footage and hardrive is on a 6g SSD. This should be screaming.

Adobe, seriously, live up to your other products standards, they are so good, why does this one just bomb?
