As you know, the colors are merely a preview timeliness estimate where
yellow is between the red and the green. But other reviewers have also
pointed out that this is affected not only by the camera codec (Alexandra's
AVCHD, which is a Long GOP codec, is among the most compute-intensive codecs
in common use) but also the effects and transitions piled on top.
Where a new (presumably) nVidia graphic card becomes useful is that those
CUDA cards having lots of memory coupled with lots of GPU processors will do
frame-fragment processing in parallel with each other, resulting in the
building of frames much quicker than only the CPU's can do. And they
emphasize "much quicker" as in 4-8 times faster.

Subject: Re: [AP] CS 5.5 render bar vs. CS4 render bar
Hi Mike and everybody,
I did some experimenting last night and feel pretty sure that Premiere is
indeed letting me know that I really need to invest in a new graphics card
or upgrade my system if I don't want to see the yellow bar :) CS4 was just
more "polite" and didn't do this.
Dropping a clip onto the new sequence icon still shows the yellow bar, so at
least I know I'm not making an error with my sequence settings. Opening a
CS4 project (with no yellow bar) in CS5.5 gives me the yellow bar. As long
as I know there's no error on my part, I will learn to live with it!

Mike, I usually render the timeline just to be able to watch what I've
worked on with less computer "churning," for more heavily edited areas,
anyway. The previews are not smooth otherwise but I totally expect that with
AVCHD and my system specs. I did NOT know that I could go ahead and encode
without rendering the timeline first. I have always rendered first, probably
as a habit since Premiere 6.0 days. I will try that! Thanks!
The Nutcracker performance I'm editing is that of the Chesapeake Ballet
Company, in the Annapolis area. You'll think I'm crazy, but I really enjoy
this job every year. I have seen the dancers over the years in different
roles and enjoy the entire production. The worst thing is that the
Nutcracker music plays over and over in my head for days, torturing me until
I am finished with the job! :-)
