can i improve the performance of premiere pro?

[djmattyz]

im coming to the end of editing a 15 minute short film in 4k

my computer is barely hanging in there, im getting audio dropouts, stalls in playback and regular crashes

perhaps my system cant quite cope, im not sure

but perhaps there are ways it can be improved, im not sure. maybe there is a wrong setting somewhere.

do you have any tips?

Ways to up performance:

1. Get 2 SSD's. One for RAW video assets and one for the Scratch disk

2. Shut down any and all other applications while editing/rendering

3. Get a Mac Pro lol (uh oh ppl are gonna get me for this one)

4. Use proxies

One important way to speed up workflow: smart rendering.

Though they work in a pinch, I find that proxies are too cumbersome in many cases, so transcoding to 4K ProRes/ProRes LT and then cutting at a lower res works a lot better for me. Much less overhead over .264 files, I think.

Clear your render data.
