Communigate Pro AE-List@media-motion.tv Message 54453

I work on a 64GB ram 6/12 core i7 machine with very fast SSD cache and RAID-0 storage and never experience a slowdown, but recently freelanced on a machine that was set up with only 24GB (or was it 32GB?) of RAM, and also had a gigabit-SAN storage setup, which had “adequate" throughput but introduced I/O latency (as they ALL do…). Boy was it painful running AE/PPro/Media Encoder simultaneously. I think the primary culprit was it was starved for RAM.

Greg, more to your note, I actually haven't noticed a big hit with AME and AE working side-by-side, but I haven't really pushed it either. I know we stopped using H264 out of AE years ago as it still has a gamma issue. Always have to correct it in QT on every export. X264, when it works fixed that, but has been unreliable for us for years too. Always crashes and fails within weeks of install. We've stuck to the PR4444 outputs that get cut down to H264 in QT. Got a decent clean clip and a compressed preview.
