“I checked my data rate, but video playback is still jerky on my computer monitor”
In order for Buz to provide optimal playback performance, make sure that the Premiere Preview window or Clip window is fully visible on your monitor and not overlapped by any other element. Also make sure your monitor is set to thousands of colors.
“Why is my last video frame always displayed on my TV monitor?”
The purpose of the Iomega Buz Startup file (located in the Startup Items folder of your System folder) is to provide optimal Buz performance in certain areas of Adobe Premiere LE. You can disable it if it annoys you by using the Extensions Manager. Locate the Iomega Buz Startup item in the ‘Startup Items’ category of the Extensions Manager and disable the item by removing the check mark. However, note that disabling this item will cause unwanted color bars to appear in your video output at times. We recommend that you keep it enabled.
“I get jerky transitions in my productions”
Set the values for Type and Audio Blocks in the Make/Output Options... to the following:
•For video sizes 176x120, 176x144, 352x240 and 352x288: set Type to
•For video sizes 720x480 and 720x576: set Type to Field 1 (upper) and Audio Blocks to 1/2 second.
“I suspect that Adobe Premiere LE is tight on memory availability”
It is important that 4MB of system memory be available for the Buz driver to perform optimally. After you have launched Adobe Premiere, switch to the Finder, choose About this computer in the Apple menu and verify that at least 4MB of memory are free. If this is not the case, quit any other open application and reduce the memory allocation of Adobe Premiere if necessary.
“How can I use Buz with the full edition of Adobe Premiere 4.2 or 5.0?”
