Option for Imported Clips (ram preload/direct from disk)
Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2014 6:51 am
Would love a dropdown menu in preferences to choose which method to use when importing clips.
ie: RAM Preload, RAM Preload Uncompressed, Direct from Disk
Having built a fresh system to rock modul8 I'm getting much better performance loading clips "Direct from Disk" using a SSD than the default "RAM Preload Uncompressed"
Clicking on each clips info and changing this option on a 'per-clip' basis is really tedious, especially if I'm not using the same clips saved in my set each time. 8 slots of 16 clips can be a lot to change.
I tried looking up how to make a module that would do this, but that control doesn't have any options available in the module editor to make this happen myself
EDIT: Thanks for the tip from user gmint you can bypass loading clips to memory:

All you need to do is to set the following preferences and you'll get direct from disk every time:
"When imported, a media is stored in memory when its size is less than:" 0 MB
"When opening a new project, maximum preload memory size:" 0 MB
Voila, everything is direct from disk!
