Performance Issues with Growing Files and Large Productions, Seeking Recommendation

Hi @DMC_NL and @Fearless_world5597 - I'm curious can you let us know what your workflow looks like from capture to ingest into premiere?

Hi @Fearless_world5597 - Checking in,  Since you are working with growing files can you try this plugin https://exchange.adobe.com/apps/cc/108867/moovit-growthaccelerator

Hi @jamieclarke ! Thanks for the reply.

I'll make a screenrecording ASAP.
It indeed does make a positive change! But there's only 1 other problem it comes with; we can't edit in 50fps anymore. 
I did notice that if we make the Sequences we already had 25fps instead of 50, it went smoother and almost no playback lag, but because of certain requirements we need to edit in 50fps. 

I tried looking it up, but there's no way to edit in AVC Intra with 50fps, right? Either in Premiere 23 or Premiere 24. 

As I said, I'll make a screenrecording ASAP and send it to you.

Hi @Fearless_world5597 -  I did notice that your sequence is set to QuickTime ProRes, while the media you’re using is AVC-Intra .mxf files.

Can you try changing your Sequence Settings > Editing Mode to AVC-Intra 100 1080p? That should switch your video previews to use AVC-Intra instead.

Can you provide more information about your audio track issue?  

As you mentioned before a screen recording would help.

Hi @jamieclarke , any chance there could be an update soon?
Thanks for your time!

Oh, and I just remembered.

With this particular Sequence Preset, which I have linked in my previous post, Audio Track 4 automatically activates on Timeline Track 6 whenever we change Source.
We work with specific Audio Tracks, and Timeline Track 6 is a track which only sends audio to the right, which makes this a potential problem, sinds the final mix could be unbalanced if we don't see the accidentally added audio track before the Export.
Most of us are aware of this problem and take care to prevent it, but others are... not too great with Editing. 

Is this also a known problem, with hopefully any fixes? 
If you have any more questions, please, do let me know!

Hi Jamie, first of all, sorry for the very late reply!
I haven't had any free time to work on this, so apologies.

The MME change sadly doesn't help anything. I tried for about 30 minutes.
We use the Merging Audio Device (MAD), and the driver is: MAD Asio: 2.3.0.

No, we don't see anything in the Network Drives, it's completely empty. Which also means the Media Encoder doesn't recognize any of the footage used in our Sequences. 

We did have an idea about the sluggishness of the playhead. We may be using wrong Sequence settings in combination with our Growing Files.
Here is a link to our Sequence Preset and a screenshot of the Properties of one of our Growing Files: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1so0aFOgtcxBApszoIufviZXRA4BNd3Na?usp=sharing 
I hope that's okay.


Thank you for your time.

Your post is unclear on one key bit ... is your production "large", or, are you using Premiere's Production mode?

If not, you  should be for large projects. As it is designed to better handle things like this.

If you are, then you should not be getting this behavior. And something needs sorting for certain.

• The playhead is sluggish.

  • Problem: The blue line indicating your position in the video (the 'playhead') can sometimes move jerkily.
  • Solution: If this occurs, you can temporarily hide the 'Audio Clip Mixer' and 'Audio Track Mixer' panels. Do this by dragging another panel, such as 'Effects' or 'Production', over them. Most of our Editors prefer to see these, however. Any other way?

• The right screen disappears when exporting.

  • Problem: When exporting your video, the right screen in Premiere Pro can sometimes vanish.
  • Cause: This is caused by something called 'Dead pixels', I think.
  • Solution: Slightly reduce the size of Premiere's right screen so it doesn't touch the edges of your monitor. This resolves the issue. Is there another way?

• Media Encoder does not work on 'Edit 5'.

  • Problem: On the 'Edit 5' computer, you cannot directly export videos via Media Encoder.
  • Solution: You can manually open 'Media Encoder 25' and then drag your timelines to the Media Encoder's 'Watchfolder'. We'd prefer to use Media Encoder 24.6.4, however.
    
    I've copied above from an internal Support Ticket of our own.
    Since we're a Live Broadcast company, we're 1 version behind. 
    We use Premiere Pro 24.6.4, and use Media Encoder 24.6.4 in all Edit Sets, except for one (Edit 5).
    All Edit Sets are identical to one another in terms of hardware and software. 
    We work mostly with Growing Files (MXF, live football games for example) which are quite large and heavy. We acces those files via EditShare.

If there are any more questions, please let me know. I'd like to get these problems fixed permanently without the workarounds, if possible.
