Hi All:
I just bought a brand-new (mid-2014) MacBook Pro, maxed-out on specs for video editing. Here are the specs...
• 2.8GHz Intel Core i7
• 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM
• solid state drive
• NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048MB
That's as pumped-up as a MacBook can currently get. And it handles basic editing in Premiere Pro CC effortlessly...except...I've noticed that when doing pan & scan moves on still photos, playback/preview is REALLY herky-jerky. Not smooth at all.
The final video after export looks good---pan & scans are nice and smooth. Changing display quality in Premiere doesn't make any difference---moves are still herky-jerky.
The still image size I work with is pretty big (like 5184x3456px) just to enable me to push in more on the images. But they're JPEGs so file size is pretty small (like 700K to 1.3MB).
Any ideas or suggestions? As long as exported video looks good I guess I can live with it, but it's hard to judge pan & scan moves accurately when preview is so jerky.
It doesn't seem like doing moves like this on still photos would be processor-intensive (they're just stills, after all)...but maybe they are? And maybe my MacBook is just too slow?
Thanks!
Scott
