    Choppy playback issues with Premiere CC, advice needed

    TinoD_V Community Member

      Hi folks. I've been using Premiere CC for a while now and for some reason just cannot get footage to playback without setting everything to 1/4 resolution. I've built a decent computer setup thinking that I would finally address this issue but instead I find that footage will not play smooth on my timeline no matter what I try.

       

       

      Here are some specs that I have for my setup:

       

      intel 3930K i7 overclocked to 4.5ghz

      64 gb ram

      Asus Rampage IV extreme motherboard

      GTX 680 video card

      2 x Samsung Pro SSD 256g drives setup as raid0 for OS and programs

      12 x Seagate 3tb barracuda drives in Raid1+0 with an Areca ARC-1882IX-12 Raid card

       

       

      I've tried numerous file formats and mainly need my system to edit RED footage up to 5k. However, I'm getting poor performance even with 1080 jpeg2000 files when editing.

       

      I've tried different playback settings hoping that something will click and Premiere will run smooth but its always choppy. I've also tried reinstalling everything a couple times now, different raid array setups etc but no luck at all.

       

      Any advice would be appreciated.
