Rover965 May 9, 2010 2:39 AM (in response to Rover965)UPDATE: If I let it sit long enough, Premiere becomes responsive again. We're talking 7 minutes or so. I swear I think it's re-reading all the files in the project again while it's white.

2. Re: CS5 Hangs When Minimizing or Switching to Another App
SiliconPixel May 9, 2010 3:26 AM (in response to Rover965)Hi,
I'm seeing similar switching issues on large projects - happened in CS4 as well though.
This is with around 2000-3000 file references to load.
Mine takes about 20-30 seconds to switch (IIRC). Frustratingly it also happens no matter what is switched to - e.g. if a system popup appears, switching back to Premiere has the same delay. looks like Premiere is re-reading all of the footage files as my RAID5 array is hammered each time.
I was hoping that in the switch to CS5 and 64 bit, this would go away - but that's not so.
Wouldn't look so terminal if PPro at least put up a dialogue box rather than allowing Windows to grey out the window as if the app has crashed (which we know isn't the case). Windows is quick to show an app not responding though.
Anyone else also seeing this on larger projects with lots of files?
Paul.

SiliconPixel May 9, 2010 3:29 AM (in response to SiliconPixel)BTW - what type of storage are your clips on?
Mine is a pretty fast RAID5 array controller with 6 raptor SATA HDD's - so I think a slower storage subsystem would take a lot longer to re-load or whatever it's doing.

jeremy d. May 9, 2010 9:33 AM (in response to Rover965)This is a known issue that we have been working to improve. Even switching from the OS reveals this behavior.

SiliconPixel Jul 7, 2010 8:07 AM (in response to jeremy d.)Jeremy,
Are we likely to see much in the way of improvements on this in the next point releases?
Every day I'm editing projects with a day or more's worth of video clips in - typically 100 or more clips, sometimes 500-600 or more which is very easy number to get to when shooting on a file based camera like my Sony XDCAM PMW350 or EX3 - switching is just horrendously frustrating, even sometimes when exporting stills or queing up sequences in AME. In fact pretty much any other dialogue box or window will cause Premiere to re-scan all the loaded files.
There HAS to be a better way of doing this surely?
Thanks,
Paul.

jeremy d. Jul 7, 2010 8:55 AM (in response to SiliconPixel)Internally, I have observed a dramatic improvement in this behavior. I cannot say if or when this improvement will be released into the world (literally -- I can't say).
And don't call me Surely.

SiliconPixel Jul 7, 2010 9:00 AM (in response to jeremy d.)Thanks Jeremy,
That does give me some hope and something to hopefully look forward too then
Other than that CS5 is fantastic, especially in combination with after Effects which we use a lot. For such a major re-write, it's doing pretty well so far

sacha_G Jul 8, 2010 3:54 AM (in response to jeremy d.)BTW if you think XDCAM is bad, try P2 MXF where each video file has 4 *separate* audio files plus thumbnail, proxy and XML metadata files - so for 500 clips make that 3000+. (I really do hate the way that Panasonic did this, makes asset management a *nightmare* too)
Would like this soon ***please***, the time wasted flipping between apps is doing my head in, even a accidental misclick outside the premiere window is enough to flip it into the "spinning blue circle of death"..

vinmarkproductions Jul 21, 2010 6:26 AM (in response to Rover965)I am having the same issue, Seem that nothing has been resovled yet. Jeremy is there an ETA on when this will be fixed? Also it seem to be an issues with p2 media. Is this only happening when the media is is coming from a firestore or mounted on an extrenal drive?
help please, this is an huge pain

13. Re: CS5 Hangs When Minimizing or Switching to Another App
SiliconPixel Jul 21, 2010 6:29 AM (in response to vinmarkproductions)It happens with ALL footage - just particularly noticable on slower drives and/or with a lot of files loaded.
There's no update out yet that improves this issue.

SiliconPixel Sep 2, 2010 3:26 AM (in response to jeremy d.)Jeremy,
Can you confirm or deny if any optimisation for this issue was done in the 5.0.2 update?
I couldn't see anything in the release notes and after a short period of editing, nothing seems to have changed in that regard (although I could be wrong - need more time to test).
I'm guessing nothing in this area has changed in the update?
many thanks,
Paul.
