**Please see System Specs section at the end
I've been having a lot of issues regarding timeline playback, moving files in the sequence and minor renders (not exports)..
Weirdly I am getting significantly better performance on Machine 2 then I am on Machine 1 even though the specs should outway the other by a long shot.
I mainly shoot basic videos, add transitions and on some occasions move over to AE and edit Typography, Visual Graphics and Special Effects etc. (more very heavy duty timelines). On this occasion I haven't even been able to finish cutting my sequence.
I have been working with Sony A7SII footage, 4K(UHD) 25fps 100Mbs, Flat Picture Profiles, MP4 format - 50GB worth of footage total.
When importing the footage into PP after syncing in PluralEyes, playback is very slow, jittery or freezes while audio continues to play.
Pause Res is set to 1/2 - Playback Res set to 1/4 - HQ Playback set to OFF - Size set to FIT
Sequence Settings (tried various) currently DNxHR UHD, also tried DSLR 1080p and Custom LQ settings and others - Video Preview set to 1280x720
No Plugins, Nothing more than a Letterbox Template file, Audio and Footage.
Below is a list of where the files are stored and where the cache is located. All drives have at least 100GB Free, R/W Speeds on BlackMagic Disk Speed Test say suitable for 2160p60 (2160p30 lowest).
I can run the footage smoothly, organise my sequence and cut and play back smoothly with Final Cut Pro X, VLC and other video playback softwares on both machines with no playback or stutter issues so I know my system can handle it fine. I have been having these issues from CC2015 where I moved away from Adobe for most of my important work. Only to use AE and PS.
Any Suggestions..
