HT3775 which Video format is best for adobe premiere CS5 and CS6

I would like to know which video format to import in adobe CS%- CS^ because it looks like it's kind of slow. when I import the video file as mts

FCP is a quicktime based NLE and your footage would be most compatible if with if encoded in the Quicktime Movie file format (MOV)
As far as quality goes, DV is a codec (and not an especially high quality one), AVI and MOV are container formats and can contain a huge variety of different codecs which can vary greatly in quality.

Adobe Premiere CS5 and CS6 freeze my computer

Hello,
I recently built myself a new computer and installed Windows 7 Professional 64-bit on it:
COOLER MASTER HAF 932 case
Core i7-3930K 3.2GHz CPU
Noctua NH-D14 CPU Fan
32GB of DDR3 G.Skill 12800 RAM
128GB Crucial M4 SSD HDD (as the C drive)
3 2TB Seagate HDD's RAID 5 (software is up to date)
Antec HCG-900 900 watt PSU
EVGA nVidia GeForce GTX 480 video card
Bluray/DVD drive
All of the parts are brand new. The problem is that I installed the Adobe CS6 Master Collection and every time I try to use Premiere (on any new or old projects) and make any video edits - the entire computer freezes. Sometimes it takes a few minutes, sometimes it takes nearly an hour of video playback and/or editing to freeze. I am going crazy trying to figure out what is going wrong. I do not get any bluescreen errors or anything in the Event Viewer (other than a notice saying the computer shut down improperly due to the fact that I had to hold in the power button). The odd thing is that it seems to work in Safe Mode every time, thus making me think it's a software issue. The other strange thing is that I've left Premiere open all day and night and the computer would not freeze - it only seems to happen when I'm making edits or playing back video.
What I have tried thus far:
Reinstalling Windows (with no antivirus or extra programs)
Updated Adobe Premiere CS6 (I also tried CS5)
Installing Windows Updates
Windows Memory Diagnostic (no errors found)
Updating all drivers
Alternate video card (GTX 460)
Installed a PCI sound card and disabled onboard sound
I tried maxing out the CPU (very difficult to do) with other programs besides Premiere - no freezing
Installed Core Temp to monitor CPU temperature - it never got above 65 degrees and was generally in the 45-50 degree range, so I'm sure it's not overheating
Tried only one 8GB stick of RAM to see if maybe it was memory - it still froze
I may have tried a couple other things, but that's all I can remember for now. Needless to say, this is a problem I've never even heard of. My only other thought is to try a different hard drive and/or PSU. Any ideas?
Your time and expertise is very much appreciated.
Also, please let me know if there's a more appropriate place to post this.
Thanks!
PS
I noticed one other member had the same problem (still unresolved as of April) and they had the same video card and SSD drive I do. However, they, like me, changed their video card and it made no difference...

Safe Mode disables a lot of drivers and services, like networking. That would seem to indicate that something is running on your system that interferes somehow.
I'm just not sure how you'd go about tracking that down.

Optimizing 780ti CUDA for Adobe premiere cs5.5, cs6, and CC

I Finally got my video card for my new rig . Found a great deal for the Zotac GeForce GTX 780 Ti OC
The only thing now is optimizing the GPU acceleration.
I would like to believe that I have performed the cuda hack correctly, but a few things leave me unsure.
I used this site to perform the Cuda hack. http://www.studio1productions.com/Articles/PremiereCS5-2.htm
GPU Hardware acceleration is enabled on Premiere, and no GPU errors occurred since it was already left on this setting.
I haven't tried it on CC or CS6 yet since most of my projects are on cs5.5 at the moment, but i will soon.
I do notice that rendering is a little faster, but seems to only shave off 5-7 minutes from 25 minute render times. Benchmarks all over the net, including here, seem to imply that times could increase by as large as a factor of 10, but I haven't seen anything close. The GPU load is also averages about 10% with spikes up to 80% whilst rendering.
The number one thing that has been disappointing is the playback. Under heavy graphics on the timeline, my videos are still unplayable. I expected this when I had a radeon 6790, but not with a gtx 780ti that has cuda cores.
Anyone have any ideas on what I could have done wrong?
Specs:
CPU i7 4930K @ 4.5 GHz
Motherboard: Rampage IV Extreme
Ram: 32GB
Video Card: GTX 780ti OC
PSU: Seasonic 1050w Gold
HDD: Samsung Evo 500GB
Other Hard drives amount to 7TBs in total, Unraided
Windows 7. 64 bit

So do you suggest I raid the boot disk? Didn't think I would need to, it's already really fast. Aren't SSDs usually standard for boot disks?
I have 4 HDDs
2 3TBS
1 2TB
and 1 500GB
I plan on making some HDD upgrades for raiding purposes. But I didn't think that my current HDDs would be the major reason for the poor performances of the card to such an extent...
Well thanks I guess. I'll try buying a 3TB for Raiding and see how that goes...

Adobe Premiere CS5 and Open Directory users - Premiere fails to start

We have several class rooms with desktops that are configured for Open Directory.
When a student logs in he's actually working in his home folder on the server and his user is also managed by the server.
This works fine for all the applications that we're using except for Adobe Premiere CS5 and Adobe After Effects CS5. Whenever a student tries to start one of them the application will hang and only a force quit can stop it. It is impossible to start these applications.
However, it is possible to use Premiere and After Effects using a local standard on the desktops. But I don't want to go that route. I want the managed users to be able to use those applications.
Has anyone found a solution for this?
Are you able to use this applications in a same environment?
I've played a lot with the permissions on the library, system and Adobe folders, but the problem doesn't seem to be related to them.
Setup:
AFP Server: Xserve intel running Mac OS X Server 10.6.5
OD Servers: Mac Mini Servers running Mac OS X Server 10.6.5
Clients: iMacs intel running Mac OS X 10.6.6

Safe Mode disables a lot of drivers and services, like networking. That would seem to indicate that something is running on your system that interferes somehow.
I'm just not sure how you'd go about tracking that down.

Laptops for Adobe Premiere CS5

I was wondering if a Laptop would be a good solution for Adobe Premiere CS5, with the possibility of using the Mercury Playback engine. I understand that a laptop would not be as powerful as a tower system, but I was looking for a laptop with decent power to do a decent job with Adobe Premiere CS5 . I have found a few canidates and was wondering what were people thoughts on laptops with Premiere CS5.
#1 MSI GT660R -- The one has Nvidia GTX 285M with Raid 0
#2 HP Elitebook 8740W -- uses NVidia Quadro FX 3800M
#3 Tohsiba Qosmio -- uses NVidia GTX 460M, and I would have to tweak Adobe Premiere CS5 for the MPE.
If nessary I had plans of using SSD.

the 17" allows for a real desktop processor, 3 HDDs and 12gig ram
anything less i dont consider good for CS5.
of course that depends on work flow, codecs

Adobe Bridge CS5 and CS6 need to uninstall

I have Adobe Bridge CS5 and CS6 that I need to uninstall off my mac I do not have Adobe Uninstall in the Utilities folder. Question how do I uninstall the applications

Question how do I uninstall the applications
CS6 uninstall is in the folder of Photoshop itself in the applications folder, I suspect CS5 also has this but can't check myself.

What video format is best for video quality?

Would anyone care to comment on what video format is recommended to achieve the best video quality in Encore when burning to a 25 GB Blu-ray disc? I have the choice of saving my HD video that will be imported into Premier Pro CS4 (and then sent to Encore CS4) in .mp4, .mt2s or .ts and I'm not sure which one will give me the best results. Thanks in advance for the insight!
Ken

does that mean that one is not necessarily "better" than the other?
That is correct.
Now, some feel that with the MP4 H.264 that there are differences between the Apple, the Lead and the MainConcept H.264. Each supplier has a "camp of followers."

Which video converter is best for quality on apple tv?

I am trying to find a video converter that will convert video into the best possible quality for my apple tv. I have looked around but there is so many and too make the choice even harder I have both windows and osx on my mac so I am not even limited on choice in terms of operating system.
I would appreciate some suggestions on which I should use.

Video formats such as avi and wmv.
I have one video that I can play on my notebook using QuickTime and iTunes 9.1.0.79; however, AppleTV can not play it because it was encoded at 192 Kbps with resolution higher than 720x432 pixels. The video is in MPEG-4 (.mp4). I'll have to check out handbrake and see if it will re-encode it (lower quality) for AppleTV.
I think you may need to check your video - certainly 720x432 is way below the specifications of the Apple TV. The HD content from the iTunes store at 1280x720 plays perfectly fine on my Apple TV and if I was you I certainly wouldn't even consider re-encoding a movie lower than 720x432 with HandBrake - it will look worse than it probably already does.
P.S. 192 Kbps has nothing to do with your video bit-rate, and as for AVI & WMV I think you may need to move on from your 80's obsession

Which video format is best to import into PrPro?

I everyone:
I seem to have a "lag issue" when trying to work with videos in my brand-new laptop.
Here are the specs for the laptop:
Dell Inspiron 17 w/Vista x64
Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 (2.4GHz/1066MHz FSB/ 3MB)
4GB, DDR2, 800MHz 2 Dimm
500G 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
I have about 20 video files on my HDD that I took out of an HD camera. Each has the .MTS extension. The smallest one is 6MB in size and the largest one is around 100MB.
So, even if I import the smallest file, the Source Monitor window plays it OK, but if I cut a segment out of it and place it on the timeline and then try to preview it in the window on the top right side of the screen (where it says "Program Sequence 01"), it plays but with a VERY visible lag.
So I was thinking that maybe I need to convert these MTS files into something more manageable so that I'm able to work with those files in PrPro.
Can someone suggest a video format for it and the best way to do it?
Thanks in advance.

Lesson 1: Always keep your original tapes safe, never fall into the habit of using a tape for a second or third time.
I would try to convert your files outside of PR, because it carries such an overhead on an underpowered system. Google for a converter and you will find many links. Here is an example: http://www.ojosoft.com/video-converters/index.html

Which Video card is best for movie editing?

I'm about to jump in and buy my first editing system and will be getting the Mac Pro 3GHz system. What I can't figure out is whether the standard NVIDIA GeForce 7300 will be enough for running FCP 5 and the other bundled programs like Motion 2 or even After Effects. Apple offers getting 2 or 3 of these cards before going up to the ATI X1900. Is there any benefit to doing that? Cost is a bit of a factor otherwise I'd just jump in and get the more expensive card. Does anyone have any advice on whether the standard should do the trick?

Ultimately it recommended that a 3GHz Mac Pro with the ATI X1900 XT and 4GB RAM or more be used for anyone using Final Cut Studio 5.1 (or higher whenever there is a higher).
Although if there were financial contraints and it we me, the first place I would start cutting is the processors and then leave them at the standard 2.66GHz. I wouldn't skimp on the GPU or RAM. One option you can take however is to go with the 3GHz model and with the standard Nvidia 7300GT and then buy the ATI card separately at a later time. While you do pay an extra $US150 for this it will aloow you to spread your costs a bit more.

Need Laptop Recommendation - best for Adobe Premiere Pro editing

I am in the process of looking for a new laptop and need recommendations based on how I will use the laptop. I produce video and mainly use the following programs: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro CS2, Adobe Encore DVD. I also use other photo editing software such as AutoFX PGE7.0.
I currently have an HP Pavilion which is about 5 years old. This desktop has the following specs:
HP Pavilion PU131AV / a1050y, Windows XP MCE, SP3 32bit, Nvidia GeForce 6600, Intel Pentium 4 CPU, 3.20 GHz, 2GB of RAM
I believe that with a new laptop, I could create my videos more efficiently. If you have any input as to what I need in a laptop for my specific purposes, please let me know.
Thanks so much,
Angela

Harm,
Thank you for your response. I have yet to buy the new computer but will be doing so in the next couple of days. I read the links you provided, and another thread which discussed the performance of a laptop vs a desktop. I have changed my mind and will be purchasing a desktop. I need advice concerning this purchase, but will start a new discussion to do so.
Thanks so much,
Angela

I have misplaced my disk for Adobe Premiere Elements and i got a brand new computer that doesn't have a cd drive. any suggestions?

Adobe Premiere Elements

You can download the program but you will still need your serial number to activate it. You might be able to find that in your Adobe account online if you ever registered the product.

Row of clips to crawl across the screen - Which video formats work best?

I want to bring in short segments of video from Premiere in a crawl to introduce the steps of a tutorial as part of the title sequence. Source footage is HDV, and final product will be on DVD and YouTube, etc. I imported the entire Premiere project into AE and using the individual clips for the crawl. It works if I resize/crop them in a precomp, but it may be putting an unneccesary load on the computer. I am wondering how that is normally done. Should I export smaller clips from Premiere, and, if so, in what format? I watched a tutorial on Lynda.com thata had a similar thing using 'TIF' files at 10 fps for the crawling clips, but no explanation why.
The entire video is short, less than 4 minutes and my system is reasonably capable.

I'm a Quicktime guy, even on my 24 GB, dual-quad-core Windows box at home. I like QT's PNG codec. If you're not a fan of huge file sizes, Avid offers its DNxHD QT codec for both Windows and Mac, it's free and it's reputed to have extremely good image quality: the quality's right there with Apple's ProRes 422, which is NOT universally available. I'm on Macs at work and Windows at home, but I'm yet to convince the techs to augment (gasp!) the codec selection in our edit suites. So I don't have personal experience with DNxHD. But one of the guys mentioned below sure talks it up!
If you're at NAB right now, just go to the Adobe booth and discuss your needs. Look at CS6. Get your answers from the Horse's Mouth.
Don't think you'll get a straight answer from Adobe? Try to find a guy named Walter Soyka and grill him. Very knowledgeable & authoritative. So is another gent, Walter Biscardi. You may find them at the Creative COW booth, or they may be busy running demos for other products. These guys are g-o-o-d, GOOD!
Premiere Pro CS6 is a LOT better than CS5, I'm told.

Which computer screen and video card are best for editing photo's with CS6?

I edit my photos with Photoshop CS6, and want to buy a new windows computer and screen. What are good screens and do I also have to purchase a special video card? Greetings, Wil.
[ email signature removed - see http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3731 ]

I'm personally fond of a new Dell Ultrasharp U3014 monitor I got several months ago. I have a video card a couple of years old - an ATI Radeon HD 7850 with 2GB VRAM, and it drives the big 30" monitor as well as my two older 20" monitors turned up sideways perfectly, to make a Photoshop editing station that's potent. All the various Photoshop panels are on the sides, and the entire central monitor is available for the actual editing.
As far as computers go, I've yet to find a machine better for Photoshop work than a Dell Precision Workstation. Others will of course have their own opinions.
It's possible to find off-lease workstations, such as the Precision T5500 system shown above, being sold used on eBay by refurbishers. Depending on who you choose you might even get a Dell warranty (I did). Their newer T5600 line is current, which makes the just off cutting edge systems cheaper. You can score a good deal this way, but you need to educate yourself very well on the options before choosing a model with particular set of features. Another member on here (JJMack) got a good deal on a Precision T5600 refurbed from Dell direct. I hope he chimes in and describes his experience with his T5600.
Some things to think about:
SSD storage is greatly preferable over HDD storage, and is well worth the additional cost. Do not skimp here. Get more than you need. Consider building a RAID array of them.
More RAM is better, and much more is much better.
A good balance between individual core speed and core count is needed. Too much of one and not enough of the other isn't as good.
If you want multiple monitors, a single modern video card that can drive multiple monitors is essential; don't try to run Photoshop with multiple video cards.

Which video formats will work for sure in FrameMaker 11?

I have done multiple test with somewhat discouraging results now. I want to embed a small video file in a FrameMaker 11 file and have it work in pdf. But even though this features should be able to work in both FrameMaker 10 and 11, my results are poor to say the least. I have tried multiple videoformats and sometime I am in luck and the video embeds and works, but most often it does not embed or it opens somewhere else on the page than the place where it was inserted. Is there a best practice for embedding video regarding file formats, distiller settings etc. I have spent several days now trying to make this work the way it is expcted to.
regards
Bjørn

I am looking at a new project where I will have to do exactly this, so I am also interested in an answer to studiosm's query.
Thanks,
