For the past few years I've grinned and dealt with it, but Audition can be so difficult to use while chasing video within a multitrack session. I use mulitple Macs, PCs, high end and low end systems at our broadcast network, and this is happens no matter where I edit, all using the latest official builds of audition. Whenever I edit in multirack and have a video present, the following symptoms occur
- incredible delay while switching between waveform and multitrack views
- incredible delays while trying to spot in fx onto the timeline
- sluggishness while trying to trium clips on the timeline.
i've tried adjusting the playback resolution and turing off spot video frame while adjusting audio clip, but honestly
-these tasks aren't eaiting up my computer's memory at all, i shouldn't have to lower the resolution of the movie
-I actually need to use the spot video frame feature!
-it doens't improve the sluggishness much.
the only solution is to:
Remove the video from the session and things work smoothly again.
like i said this happens across all platforms, and doesn't matter if i use an AVI or an MP4, and those videos are all generated from my editors in premiere. What gives?! someone help me before i switch back to pro tools please!
