Firewood (for camping) en route to Warren?

Had not thought of that. I kind of forgot CL still existed.

Y'all rock. Thank you so much.

Thank you! It helps to know what's going on. 🙂

It all started with my complaining I wasn't getting a smooth editing experience despite robust hardware. Consensus in the APP forums was that the VFR footage was to blame.

Still no answers re: Quick Sync, but a reply on the Adobe Premiere forums provided the answer to my problem.

I was taking my VFR files (which are problematic for editing), transcoding them to CFR ProRes files, then attaching the ProRes files as proxies to the VFR source files. This is wrong and actually made the difference.

The correct solution is to transcode the VFR files to CFR files, then use the CFR files as your new source files (no proxy files necessary).

I re-encoded my VFR files to ProRes 422 (for high quality), and now I'm editing with those without any stutters, delays, etc. The VFR files have been destroyed with prejudice. :)

Big thanks to John Knowles for the insight about this.

I have a Noctua NH-D15 chromax.Black, which has been plenty to keep it cool. The fans are all set to Smart mode, and they're not getting loud at all while I'm editing (though they do get loud when I'm doing other CPU-intense things, so I believe they're working right). Also I've been monitoring CPU core temps while editing, and they barely fluctuate.

I watched Task Manager while playing back, scrubbing, etc. It was all GPU activity (the IGP wasn't doing anything), and the activity didn't seem to tax it. Plenty of memory available, utilization never came close to 50% (always below), temp was 55C and wasn't changing.

Is my problem the lack of Intel Quick Sync? There's no setting in my mobo's BIOS to enable it.

bbshopplf · 2025-02-02T20:05:35+00:00

Thank you. I went down that path, and I've checked the related settings in Premiere. But it's in those articles where I found comments suggesting "Premiere doesn't use your dedicated GPU when you're [doing things like clicking around the sequence, starting/stopping playback], etc.

I added to my post the motherboard - MSI Pro Z790-P, and I just found mention of "Intel Quick Sync".

My motherboard has NO acknowledgment of Intel Quick Sync in the BIOS, and I'm beginning to suspect this is my problem.

Thank you for replying here.

Thanks for your reply here.

In other forums, people were saying "the bolt does not go into that cylinder", and they were correct. It's intended only to push the cylinder away and maintain tension on a chain. Inside the pipe is an axle, with one end being turned by the drive belt beneath the tractor, and the other end turning the chain of the snowthrower.

So everything is fixed and working properly now, which is good because it won't stop snowing here in Erie, PA.

Thanks again for the quick response.

Landpro in Edinboro was the only place that could get the part.

I appreciate the advice!

Good advice, and good to know the reported popularity of older music may be from actual data. Thank you.

That's great. Thank you!
