Image Storage
First, you want to get the shot into RAM. Clearly, having a lot of RAM will help.
If your shot does not fit, you have two primary options: using the small playback- range markers on the SynthEyes time bar to play back a limited range of the shot at a time, or to reduce the amount of memory by down-sampling the images in the SynthEyes image preprocessor (or maybe drop to black/white). If you have 4K film or RED scans and are playing back on a 2K monitor, you might as well down-sample by 2x anyway.
If you have a RAID array on your computer, SynthEyes’s sophisticated image prefetch system should let you pull large sequences rapidly from disk.
