I'm interested in Premiere's CPU usage & RAM load in four scenarios:
- after launching and creating a new project (baseline)
- after launching and loading a project that is giving you trouble
- after working in the project for a while, but before you hit any freezing behavior
- after hitting a freeze.
If you're willing to report monitor resource usage, we don't necessarily need precise numbers; it would be sufficient to report basic trends like "memory usage was okay until right before the first freeze, then it spiked to nn GB and stayed there until I quit."
Also, two questions drawn from troubleshooting similar issues with a couple of customers:
- Do you have any non-alphanumeric character other than dash and underscore in the filenames of your content or your project or in any folder along the path to the assets?
- Did you import any folder based content like AVCHD or RED by dragging whole folders in from Finder or Media Browser?
Lastly, did the project originate in an earlier version. I know Kevin has already asked this and some of you have provided this data point in an earlier post, but I'd appreciate if you include it again.
Thanks,
Mark
