We have been working in Premiere on this documentary film for months.
As we reach completion it is beginning to really bog down and crash a lot.
Equipment is
iMac 27 inch 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7 Late 2013 Model
Apple Cinema HD Display
32 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB Graphics Card
1TB internal SSD Drive
We are running Premiere Pro CC 2014.0.1 and have remained there because we don't want to upgrade the software in the middle of the project.
The media is all on the external drive. It's a USB 3.0 connection. There is quite a lot of footage that we are working with.
We do have some After Effects comps that are linked in the project and we have exported the ones that are complete as QuickTimes to try to stop that from bogging us down.
Any advice on how we can manage this crashing and freezing problem would be much appreciated.
We don't have the cash to upgrade the computer and it has been working pretty well for us so far.
