I know many are not happy w/ Premiere + Marvel, but I can't abide the MSPro interface.
I'm trying the Premiere 5.0 demo in anticipation of buying a DV Card/Premiere 5.1 bundle & continuing to use the Marvel for low-res movies.
System is a Celeron 400/Intel AL440LX Mobo (UDMA 33)/128MB DRAM/5400 Seagate 6gig drive (UDMA 33- Intel's busmastering drivers are installed)/Win95
I capture using the PC-VCR app & bring in the clip to Premiere after creating a project w/ Matrox MJPEG as codec & frame size matching what I told PC-VCR.
As others have described, scrub in the preview window doesn't work- no biggie.
Timeline playback of simply cut up clips works fine. However, when I create a transition or filter some video, then render the preview, I get a hiccup when time reaches the junction between unmodified & "new" video. Playback hesitates for 1/4 second then continues. It does NOT look like I get dropped frames in the "new" video- it plays smoothly.
Clips are captured to my "D" drive, which is a 2GB FAT32 partition of my boot drive (I'll be adding a big 7200RPM drive soon). I've told Premiere to use D as the scratch drive for rendering transitions also. Raptest (Canopus Raptor DV product disk throughput tester) gives me around 3-4 Mbytes/sec on this drive.
While this makes editing less WYSIWYG, my biggest concern is that timeline playback seems to be the way around the 2GB file limit- you can't have a single clip >2GB, but you can sequence through a bunch and have a nice long movie.
Any ideas? New (non boot) harddrive the answer? Is it a RR-MJPEG codec issue that the Morgan codec might fix (and wouldn't be a problem with DV)?
Thanks!
