RC,
Hello,
I also work with similar specced laptop (core 2 @ 2.GHz, 2 Gb RAM, 160
Gb SATA system drive).
The only way to edit smoothly with mine will be to use something like a
PCMCIA or ExpressCardBus eSATA card to connect a SATA external drive for
the video data.
I have tried with everything on the system drive, with an external
firewire and with a USB 2 external drive. I capture from a Sony HC1 HDV
camcorder (including footage shot with taht and with a Z1). Capture is
fine, no speed problem there since it is exactly as demanding on the
system as DV (provided you don't need to monitor the capture on the PC).
It is the editing process where the lack of a SATA external drive for
the data impinges on the process.
I am currently editing my first HDV project on PPro 2 on my desktop - a
2.66 GHz core 2, 4 Gb RAM (XP only recognises something like 3.35 Gb)
and am dismayed by the rendering times when I first bring an HDV file
into the sequence. If you don't mind the loss of scrubbing maybe you
could live without that.
What I've done now is bring the 35 tapes in with four sequences. Then I
combined two sequences (ca. 16 hours on the time line) and it is now
rendering. 4 hours 45 minutes to go and it has already been working at
least four hours - and there were only four or five tapes of the 18 in
this sequence which were red-lined (i.e. needed rendering). After that
is through I will combine the remaining files into another grouped
sequence and render that. I have no experience with this but if my
reading of other's experiences is correct, once a file has been rendered
Premiere will keep track ot that even if you move it around, etc.
Also with this machine an external SATA RAID 0 would be a big help. It
seems as though the DV to HDV resolution ratio is roughly proportional
to the time needed to render a file in proportion to the original .mpg
captured, i.e. 3 or 4:1.
