I have filmed 8 similar short 45' clips with between 2 to 4 takes each.
As they are all with the same lighting and for the same client, I thought it would be a clean idea to pile them all up as takes in 1 general project in MovieStudio... Well that was not a good idea !
You may like to read why:
1) You can place as much as you want in the Media Pool area, but there is a limit of 11 takes max. that can be piled up on a particular track.
2) When you add a file as a take, the video and the audio are considered independently. I have to load the video and the audio in 2 stages...
3) When you have loaded your 11 takes, you think you can start working... well no ! The load is such that the computer just crawls: playing the files becomes impossible, the flow full of hiccups...
Note that my computer is a Pentium4_2,8Ghz with 512Mb RAM.
==> the only alternative was to reduce the load to a few takes (3 or so).
==> I will create as many projects as clips, and run the files with custom presets resulting from the first clip processed.
