A while back I posted here, asking for reccomendations on a new PC. We
are shooting more HDv, and my old pc wasn't cutting it. We setteld on
a Dell XPS. Below is the description of the new Dell and our
continued problems, which I also posted on dvinfo.net.
<<Update and continued problem-
We setteled on a Dell XPS model, but are still having a problem with
the multicam function. Our first real hdv project is a 50 minute, 3
camera concert.
The Dell is a duo 2.4 ghz with 4 gigs of ram, a raid 0 comprised of 2
165 gig drives and a 250 gig c drive. The card is an nvidia gforce
7900, and we're using a gateway 1080p monitor.
We loaded PPro, Encore and Cineform and nothing else. Then we
transfered the entire concert project to the new Dell. After some
rendering, we opened the project, and the edited section plays smooth
and flawlessly. But when we opened up the multi cam function (one with
only 2 cameras), the playback was not smooth and in real time. It was
a lot better than my old Pc, but seemed to be playing slightly in slo
mo (although the audio was fine).After spending $2900 on a new PC,
(not including monitor), I was pretty bummed out. The obvious problem
with the slow multicam function will be trying to cut video to rythmic
audio.
We plan to call Adobe today, and then Dell. Maybe we need a more
powerfull chip, or a dual chip set up...I don't know. Marty mentioned
having different cameras on different drives, but I have no idea if
that would solve the problem, or even how to do that.
Has anyone else experienced the same problem? Is anyone doing multi
cam succesfully with PPro? If so, what do we need to make this work.
Thanks
