Hi,
Just got a new Mac Pro...
Processor 3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5, Memory 32 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 ECC, Graphics AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB X 2, OS X 10.9.4. Machine looks like a kettle whiteout a spout, but other than that, fantastic!
Set it up via TimeMachine backup from old machine (iMac 27''). Have to say that I'm not seeing a great difference in performance in Premiere? The old iMac have just 1gig of GPU, the new machine has 12gig. The only notable difference is that in the render bar above the timeline, what used to go red in need of rendering, is now yellow. But, anything complex (lots of effects or stacked video) looks like it needs rendering - judder, pixelated. I realise I could render whole timeline, but I work on events videos, sometimes timelines up to 2.5 hours.
Most footage I work in tends to be AVCHD from Sony's and I do realise that can be an issue but I was looking for a revelation in my editing experience - not there.
So what am I missing here? Having ported over from the old machine, is Premiere not optimised for this machine? Looked to see if I could re-install via Creative Cloud, don't seem to able to.
Any wisdom would be greatly received.
Nick
