Anyone familar with Adobe Premiere?

[hrgiger]

I have a question about Premiere. When I create a in point and out point in Premiere, I know I can drag that back into my project panel and create a subclip. I also know I can remove the original clip from the project and the sub clip stays intact as long as I don't remove the original clip from my hard drive or move it to a new location. My question is, will removing the original source clip from my project, reduce the amount of memory resources that Premiere is using? In the recent past, I have added a lot of sources to Premiere and it has become unstable and I couldn't get it to render with until I freed up some memory.

Hello,

I use Premiere Pro CS3 a lot these days. The VT3 i own is mostly used for live events and some editing.

Having a large project with many clips and subclips on the timeline will slow down PP. I done know if removing the master clip and keeping the subclips will gain you anything. Typically, the best way to manage a large project is to break it down into smaller sub-projects.

I any case, this question would be better asked in the adobe premiere forums. Assuming you have Premiere Pro CS3 or earlier...

Thanks. Yeah, my question would best be answered on the Adobe forums, I just thought I'd ask here first since I use it mostly for assembling my Lightwave vids and still frames and I know a few others here who have mentioned they use it as well.

adobe premire creates temp avi's for subclips..they're usually spotted by having files names made of number strings rather than proper files names

When you say you couldn't get it to render, do you mean you couldn't render a preview or you couldn't export the movie? Or is this a problem with Adobe media Encoder?
Also, which version of Premiere are we talking about?
Elements, Pro, CS3?

Premiere uses temporary preview clips to playback from, so it shouldn't be too dependant on memory resources just for playback sake.
Exporting the movie is a different matter, but clips that reside in the bins shouldn't have an effect on that, only what's in the timeline.
Also, if you have some deeply nested clips that may cause some weirdness.
Nested as in a sequence within a sequence within a sequence (you get the idea...)
For some effects and other instances it is advantageous to use a nested clip, but I try to avoid them if possible.

I use Premiere CS3 on a daily basis to edit all my projects. They usually contain a healthy mix of live action DV footage, stills in various formats and footage generated from LW. Lengths range from 3 to 10 minutes.
I have yet to be unable to render something. usually works pretty well for me.
It's not without its quirks though...
Let me know exactly which "wall" you are hitting and I'll try my best to help.
