Hi, I am an experienced Adobe Premiere user and am currently evaluating the demo to Media Composer 7.0.2. I have been experiencing a lot of hourglass/pinwheeling while performing some pretty basic moves. (i also had this same issue in 7.0.0 before reinstalling with 7.0.2)
If I start up a fresh project everything works great to begin with. However, as my project gets larger and I start involving more files, things get sluggish. Especially noticable when switching in and out of trim mode (ie. selecting an edit point, then clicking elsewhere in the timeline to deselect) there is a delay of about a second or two. Also, after each edit is made using the 'add edit' command, there is the same type of delay as well.
It may only be a one second or so delay but it is really disruptive to the speed of my workflow. Am I missing something in my setup? I've got all the recommended drivers installed and have disabled all the Windows 7 eye candy, and don't have anything else running at the same time. All my clips are imported and transcoded at DNxHD 36 MXF. My system specs are in my profile.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
