1. Re: Slow clip loading
able123 Jun 9, 2010 6:11 AM (in response to frogmike)Hi,
What kind of footage are you editing ..
HD ?
SD ?
How much is on the timeline ( 1 hour ? - 2 Hours ? )
Is this a new , first time problem with material that never did this before or something that's been always happening ?
What kind of graphics card do you have ?
If it's SD ( 720x480 ) you might just need to tune up your computer to make it as fast as possible...
for example, check if your hard drive has " indexing" turned off
Check the location and size of your scratch disk...
There are threads here for tuning up the computer ... Good luck

frogmike Jun 9, 2010 7:22 AM (in response to able123)Thanks for th reply, sorry I forgot about my GPU lol. Its an XFX Nvidia GTS 250 (1gb ram edtition)
The video is HD, 720p, Motion Jpeg.There's only about 5 minutes of footage on the timeline.
Its been a constant issue, and I wouldn't know where to look for an option to address my issue. The issue is what I described it, and its frustrating and makes the editing go slower. I have the scratch disks set to the same drive as the programs.
Are there any other settings to optimize? What's indexing?
Thanks.

Bill Hunt Jun 9, 2010 7:34 AM (in response to frogmike)This is a video redraw issue. I would suspect that you have the Thumbnail Display set to ALL. Try with it set to First, or First & Last. Most editors will turn it to None, so that just the Clip name is displayed.
Even with All set in the display, my Quadro FS-4500 will redraw in about 0.5 sec.
Depending on your OS, you might improve the redraw by adjusting Hardware Acceleration.
Good luck,
Hunt

frogmike Jun 9, 2010 7:57 AM (in response to Bill Hunt)All right, I did some searching but can't find exactly what you're describing. How do I change the selection to "first & last", I mean, where is it in the menu? Any specifics on how to adjust on hardware acceleration? I'm running W7HP. Thanks.

able123 Jun 9, 2010 8:19 AM (in response to Bill Hunt)That's the little square on the bottom left of the video channel...the menu you see Bill showed you..
Rod
ps...hardware acceleration and video card properties ...for WIN XP ....( don't know about win 7 ) ...you right click on a blank area of your desktop and look for your video card settings either in that first menu or else choose " properties" and then "settings" and then "advanced"....
hopefully your video card installed some easy to follow little program to make changes easy to understand...most do...

7. Re: Slow clip loading
frogmike Jun 10, 2010 1:17 PM (in response to Bill Hunt)While its nice to have the option in choosing. My problem is still that if I do not take the 7+ seconds for the clips "track header" load, the video will sometimes lag when played, and will not load right away if I click on another point in my timeline. I like to work with the header on so its easier to work with my clips. Any other possibilities? Thanks.

8. Re: Slow clip loading
jeremy d. Jun 10, 2010 1:39 PM (in response to frogmike)You said you have 5 minutes on the timeline -- how much footage is in the project, and how many sequences do you have in the project?
Is this happening always, or just close to the beginning of the session?

9. Re: Slow clip loading
frogmike Jun 10, 2010 1:45 PM (in response to jeremy d.)I have just over 3 minutes on the timeline. There's about 85 items in the bin for my project, and only 1 sequence. It always happens regardless of where I am. I'll play the video from where I am zoomed in, once it starts pushing the track, the next clips wont have their heads displayed and the video likely lags.

Bill Hunt Jun 11, 2010 11:27 AM (in response to frogmike)With the MJPEG footage, have you Rendered your Timeline? If there is a red line above the Clips, it could be taking some time for PrPro to internally process the MJPEG's for playback. By Rendering, you take much of that processing load off the system.
Good luck, and hope that helps,
Hunt

11. Re: Slow clip loading
frogmike Jun 11, 2010 1:36 PM (in response to Bill Hunt)Yup I've rendered the footage. Most of the time even when I don't render the footage plays nearly fine. But even when when perfectly rendered, I still get those annoying long clip header loading times : \

12. Re: Slow clip loading
Bill Hunt Jun 11, 2010 2:32 PM (in response to frogmike)I get good playback for most of my footage, even with many Effects and the red line. I was just wondering if the lack of Rendering might affect the redraw, but that goes out the window.
Thanks for the clarification,
Hunt

GeniuZ13 Jun 14, 2010 2:57 AM (in response to frogmike)Hello, I have same problem. Most of time I scroll timeline (I use head thumbnails), thumbnails are refreshed from disk. I have lot of small pieces clips. I not found any solution, I think this is bad using cache in Premiere...
