Oh, and also from personal experience, dynamic links to AE compositions can slow down previews - some of mine take 4 to 6 seconds per frame! Luckily for me these compositions are short else I'd render the AE compositions and import them directly into PPro.

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.

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! > I don't think you have to worry about rendering the timeline before > encoding. 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! :-) Alexandra [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
