I'm using AME CS6 to transcode clips to prepare clips for delivery to a client that will only accept OP1a MXF's. I have hundreds of clips to transcode and AME CS6 is unbearably slow loading them. Usually I set up a watch folder but in this case I have two batches to run, one with about 750 individual clips and one with about 450. Using watch folders just completely brought AME to it's knees trying to transcode a file while updating the queue. I've just spent two hours loading the clips into AME by dragging/dropping them into the queue (that time includes time spent waiting while AME hangs while trying to change the codec/output setting).
Earlier versions of AME were no where near as slow as this. Even just scrolling up/down the queue that used to be fluid is now a click, wait, update..click, wait update process. I could have copied the files from drive to drive in less time than this took to load/index. Is there anything that can be done to speed up this process?
