iam 0 #1 March 13, 2003 I've edited quite a bit of video now using both Studio 8 and Vegas and copied them back to DV tape with no problems. However, i've just tried Premier and i'm very impressed with all the bells and whistles but when i copied the finished project to tape there was quite a lot of "flicker" and "jumping" in some sections, although not all. Any idea why this is happening and how to resolve it. I am using a pentium 4, 128Mb rambus memory and a 32MB video card. All running on XP.

PhreeZone 20 #2 March 13, 2003 128 memory is on the low end, Premiere likes to play with 256 and 512 makes it happier. A full gig or more and it plays really nicely.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndyMan 7 #4 March 13, 2003 128 MB of ram is the bare minimum for running XP, never mind doing something intensive like compressing video. I recomend at least 256 for people doing basic tasks under XP... if you're going to be running premiere, at least 512. Memory is getting cheap... _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

iam 0 #5 March 13, 2003 Thanks for the advice. Memory in general is pretty cheap except when you come to but rambus memory. Dont ask me why but it is about 4x the price of sdram.

AndyMan 7 #6 March 13, 2003 There's been a bunch of intelectual property lawsuits over Rambus ram - even pending criminal charges. In a nutshell, Rambus (arguably) defrauded computer manufacturers by not informing them of patents held on their memory. There is no competition in memory for Rambus memory. It might be worthwhile buying a new motherboard so you don't need to use rambus memory. a good motherboard is about a hundred bucks. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

Cajones 0 #7 March 14, 2003 The 850 chipset, which uses Rambus (RIMMS) is still the preferred chipset for video editing on a Pentium 4 machine, with Adobe Premiere. Be careful about changing chipsets. Yes, RDRAM does run about 1/3 more than DDR for 512MB RAM, but until the 7205 chipset has proven itself, the performance is better, and cheaper than replacing your motherboard. Try Newegg or Googlegear for good memory prices. The laws of physics are strictly enforced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyMan 7 #8 March 14, 2003 The 845 chipset which takes DDR is a very good alternative, and has worked fine for me. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
