I have an i7 3770k CPU, 16gb RAM, and a local 11tb RAID 0 drive.
I'm editing a feature film shot on a Red Epic.
It doesn't seem that Premiere can handle the volume of Red media in our project. Everytime I load the project, it has to 'load' all of the media... about 8000 files right now. This takes about 1 to 3 minutes to take place. Until this loading occurs, Premiere is unusable.
A few questions:
1) Is Premiere intended to edit large projects, or must I break up this project into smaller projects?
2) Why does 'loading' the project media take so long? I doubt that using proxies for my Red media would improve this 'loading' process.
3) Why can't Premiere keep a database of my files so that it doesn't have to poll them all every time I load my project?
