tip to speed up Premiere at DVinfo.net

Robert Bobson · August 18th, 2009, 05:34 AM

i realized that a lot of the files that were being loaded in the project window of my project each time I opened it that weren't actually being used. So I went thru and found a lot of video clips - alternate takes, etc - that I was able to delete. Premiere runs MUCH faster now!

Robert,

That applies to every application. If you never clean up, everything will be a mess.

I personally had a kind of 'duuhhh' experience when I read it. If I have a project with 30+ 1 hour tapes captured in HDV with scene detection and ended up with somewhere between 25000 and 30000 clips and use in total only 100 clips, don't you think it obvious that not including the unused clips will allow for a smaller project and faster loading times?

Nevertheless, it was good of you to post this, since although I may react with: 'That is obvious', many may not have considered it, forgotten it and it often is very useful to point out the basics. You are right that this can significantly speed up your system and your projects. Thank you for your consideration and post.

Just like the other forum BTW.
