Premiere Pro CC running slow on my new Mac Pro

I just upgraded my system to the new Mac Pro(Darth Vader Helmet) and its running slower then my 5 year old tower!? Ill take 15-20 seconds to save a project(small project). The playback is still a bit jerky. Overall it just seems to be lagging a bit.
Here are my comp specs:
OS 10.9.2
3GHZ 8-Core Intel eon 5
64 GB 1867 MHz DDR2
Does anyone have any idea why Premiere isnt blazing!?
Thanks

Thanks, Jason, that's what I was wondering about. Generally, people post to forums when they have problems.
Yep. That's usually what happens. My review will be centered around my usual "benchmark" of editing 2 AVCHD inputs, one PiP'd into the other, synced with an external audio source, and then exported to an h.264 MP4. CC on my current Mac Pro (modified dual 3.46Ghz Xeon, 48G, nVidia GTX570) takes that task about 1/2t, if t = length of video. Which is pretty damned good. I'm hoping the dual GPUs will help scale that export task down a bit more. I don't expect it to hit 1/4t, but.. hey, maybe I'll be surprised?
I make about 60% of my living from Pr, and the rest from Ae and other apps (mostly Adobe).
Given the lack of CUDA, at the moment, I don't expect the new Mac Pro to be a stellar performer with Ae specifically. I assume that Adobe is working on OpenCL'ing Ae as much as they possibly can. But from what I understand, it ain't there yet.
(I'd need a TB monitor and PCI extender, too).
I can understand the need for the PCI extender, but why the TB monitor? I'd in no way even remotely consider one of those, just given how ridiculously priced they are. There's no need for one. Does your display have a DP input? You're all set. No? It has HDMI instead? Still all set. It's dual-linked DVI that becomes problematic.

I am trying to do a migration transfer from an older Mac Pro, running Leopard, to a newer Mac Pro, running Lion. There is a step that asks for a "passcode" to proceed. I have no idea what that passcode is. It seems to want a numeric code.

WHY AFTER EFFECTS STILLS SO SLOW IN THE NEW MAC PRO?

I have the new mac pro with this settings:
3 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon E5
64 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 ECC
AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB
Software OS X 10.9.2
And the AE performs slower than in my old mac pro. I have set the preferences as seen on all those tutorials on this site, I have an SSD external disc for cache files, memory and multiprocessing settings correctly...and previews are very very slow, and I can not even render a single comp without waiting 10 minutes. I am very disappointed and frustrated with this situation...
Am I missing something?

I don't understand why it's even up to the user to figure out what settings are best. Isn't the application in a vastly superior position to know what its resource constraints are at any given moment? Instead I have to try rendering a couple of comps, kill the render, fix the render queue since AE STILL doesn't offer a graceful way to quit and resume renders.
I have to say that one of the attributes of AE that consistently disappoints me is multiprocessing and its accompanying memory management policies. I regularly produce hundreds of network graphics at a go, and I can never reap any benefit from multiprocessing, because AE has to load the entire project into each core, instead of just loading the comps it needs to render at any given time. Similarly, a project that requires 400 heavily-automated versions (a regular occurrence for some of my Latin America clients, where graphics have to be versioned for multiple feeds and languages) can simply choke AE. If it could load this stuff into memory on-the-fly (or at least offload some of it when memory gets tight), this wouldn't be a problem, and I sincerely doubt the performance would be worse than it is now. This is on a previous-gen Mac Pro with 48 GB RAM, so, while not strictly state-of-the-art, it's no slouch.
Heck, even opening some of these projects just to browse their contents is a painful 30-minute process, as AE apparently has to not only load everything into memory before I can even do anything, but, judging by how it hangs for many minutes at 99% on the progress bar, it also seems to be evaluating all the expressions in all the hundreds of comps (presumably so it can render the project thumbnails). And yes, I've tried splitting the projects up, but this leads to its own complications, particularly when revisions come in a week or two later.
I don't want any of this to sound overly negative, since I know AE has a small team and this sort of stuff isn't trivial to implement. I do appreciate this application and all it does, particularly for me creatively and professionally. I just get a bit tired of seeing new releases come every year and this stuff seems to go unaddressed.

GeForce 7300 GT from the old MAC Pro don't work on a new mac pro why ?

Hello,
I have buy a GeForce 7300 GT on eBay, i think this one come from the old mac pro.
I have put it on my new MAC PRO and my mac don't see it...
Why ?
Can i have a drivers ?
TY for your help ^^

Apple was emailing people that did, not sure if they still do.
It would be so easy to say "Mac Pro (2008) or later" instead we have:
Compatibility: * Requires Mac Pro with PCI-Express 2.0
Which not everyone knows is, or means "Mac Pro (2008)"
They do need a tech note or knowledge base to go along.

MacBook Pro is running slow... for Mac standards....

Hey everyone,
I purchased a MBP about two months ago and recently I have noticed that it is running rather slowly. I have the Mountain Lion update (which I know came with a few character flaws) and I update the software whenever that option is available to me, but nothing seems to cure the problems.
When I log into my computer, after having it sleep for a few hours, it starts up as if it would after being shut down, as in it sounds like the hardrive is waking up (I can't explain this in a techincal way because I am slightly stupid to these things). It doesn't restart, it just makes similar noises and has the annoying bootup screen. It freezes my log in for a bit and then I put my password in only to wait about another minute or so for my desktop to load.
I know this isn't normal, because it has been running smoothly and quickly since I've purchased it. This is my only beef, and it is not so much as impatience, as it is that I want my machine to be running good and have good health. Does this issue sound foreign? I have AppleCare, but is there anything I should do before making an appointment?

The definition of a FAD in the resident Apple dictionary is as follows:
"an intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something, esp. one that is short-lived and without basis in the object's qualities; a craze:"
The Etrecheck report does not fit that criteria. It contains a large quantity of accurate information on a given Mac which often can provide valuable information towards solving problems. It allows inspection of various hardware and software components that often eliminates much information gathering, reducing correspondence and thus can speed up the problem resolution process.
It is simply a valuable tool that often can be used to advantage when the need arises. If one feels that it does not suit their methodology of problem solving, then that certainly is their choice.
HOWEVER A FAD IT IS NOT.
Ciao.

Latest Premiere Pro CC update 7.2.2 Update Failed on New Mac Pro.

I can't get the latest 7.2.2 Premiere Pro CC to update on the new Mac Pro computer. Is it not compatible?
"Update Failed. Update could not be applied."
CC Manager says I am currently updated to the latest version. When I check my Premiere CC Version I am only on 7.0. I tried manually downloading 7.2.2 .dmg file and it fails.

Same problem here on a previous-gen MacPro tower running 10.7.

OSX Server 10.4.11 Run on New Mac Pro?

Hi, we need to upgrade and older G4 running OSX Server 10.4.11 and just want to make sure that the OS will run decent on a new Mac Pro machine. Does this work, or do you have to upgrade to 10.5?
Thanks. Would love the migration to be smooth, as my IT skills are limited. And if we had to upgrade the OS, I'd rather wait until Snow Leopard came out so we wouldn't have to upgrade twice in a short period of time.

Another potential option is to get the current box serviced; refurbished, as it may.
It looks like we would need to get the first generation Mac Pro to keep our 10.4.11 server software, but I suppose we would need the Intel-compatible install disks too, correct? Know if Apple would send Intel install disks if we were licensed owners of OSX Server 10.4 for PPC?
Um, I'd tend to doubt that. (You did get what you purchased, you've used what you purchased, and you probably didn't purchase the software maintenance service plan, right?) But you can always ask Apple, of course.
We really don't need the latest/greatest performance for our server, it's mostly a file-server. Our ancient G4 (upgraded processor to 1Ghz) doesn't seem to slow us down much, and has been pretty solid until now.
If you're looking for "just a file server", get a NAS (Network Attached Storage) box. There are various NAS options available. For low-volume shared stuff, a Time Capsule can suffice as a NAS box.
And I agree it would definitely make most sense to wait until Snow Leopard was available to upgrade, I just don't know if our server is going to last that long...
If you're not looking for the latest and greatest and a low-end Mac box is an option, an Intel Mac Mini (the latest version has FireWire 800, which is rather speedy I/O) can do quite well for serving up data, and can boot and run Leopard and apparently Snow Leopard. It's a respectable entry-level box, with decent I/O.
I did see something in the Snow Leopard documentation about an easy to use migration application for the upgrade. This would probably be very helpful if it worked well. Did Leopard have something similar?
I've had a successful upgrade from Tiger Server to Leopard Server, but in more recent times I tend to reinstall stuff rather than the upgrade. Cruft tends to build up over the years. Sometimes an upgrade blows up. I utilize a "warm standby" server to allow me to test the upgrades and updates before I go into production.

Premiere pro cc and new mac pro 2013

There is so much being written about Adobe CC (Premiere Pro) not working well on the new mac pro that I just want a final clarification from Adobe:
1. Does Premiere Pro work well on the new machines and is the software set up to make use of the new machine elements- like dual GPUs etc??
2. If not is this in the pipeline for Premiere Pro CC updates and any estimates on when?
Thanks
David

You do realize that, for the most part, this is a User forum, not a Support one? We have participation from various Adobe employees due to good will more than anything. They don't and won't share road map stuff with us until they're ready to announce it to the whole world.
I think you're asking the wrong question on the wrong forum.
Pr CC and AME CC are both set up to make use of the dual GPUs on the new Mac. Several of us have already shared our experience with CC on the new Mac Pro; for the most part it's very favorable. A few folks are still having some difficulty with it; hopefully they've opened support cases with Adobe to get that straightened out.

New Mac Pro & PP CC 2014 "Not Responding" when exporting....

OK, this is a weird issue.
Short Version:
Project exports fine on PC
Premiere Pro CC 2014 stops responding on new Mac Pro just after clicking "Queue"
Premiere Pro CC 2014 renders the sequence fine when I click on "Export"
Details:
I have a week old 4 core, 12 Gig ram, Mac Pro running OSX 10.9.4 with the latest CC 2014 installed 1 week ago.
I have a sequence (the content) with Lumetri, Ultra Key, Track Matte and Lumetri (warm). This sequence is nested into an other sequence (holds the watermark titles and branding)
The project exports and renders fine on my 5 year old i7 pc.
However on my new MacPro every time I go to export that sequence by clicking on "Queue" AME CC 2014 starts and Premiere locks up. Activity monitor show Premiere as "Not Responding"
I force quit Premiere to exit.
I don't have this issue with other video projects. I have disabled OpenCL in Premiere and AME with no different outcome.
I can export the nested sequence by it self with out any issues. If I remove the nested sequence, the main sequence exports just fine.
I have also checked and repaired disk permissions - no difference.
However, If I click on "Export" in Premiere it starts to render and Premiere Pro does not lock up.
It looks like an issue with PP handing off to AME.
How can I troubleshoot this? I need to queue up 200+ videos to render in the next month....

That statement about 4k/5k in Premiere CC with the nMP is false, insofar as performance goes.
I just tested 5K Red raw files just dragged into Premiere Pro CC (latest version). I expected this to be slow, given my HD experience. However, on my 8 core/D700, I can play 1/2 just fine, full speed. And I even can also do that with a very streneous plugin/filter attached - FilmConvert (in OpenCL mode), also at 1/2 which is quite impressive. I can even add a bunch of other Premiere filters and SG looks and it still stays at full speed at 1/2.
Ironically, this is quite faster than FCPX which can't seem to play back 5K at all with that filter attached (it doesn't stutter, but it's not smooth... low resolution at "best performace" and reduced frame rate). Even if I remove all filters FCPX plays back Red 4k (again not transcoded) about the same as CC at 1/2, but with a seemingly lower resolution to keep it smooth. It's a head scratcher. It's like Adobe's Red handling is much better coded than Apple's in this case.
Or... it has to be attrituable to that particular plugin (other FCPX motion-based plugins don't suffer the same fate and are fast). But either way, filter or no, Premiere Pro CC is definitely and sharper looking at 1/2 when cutting Red 4k/5k with no transcode, playback in real time, than FCPX which needs to bump it down to what looks like a 1/4 or less rez to keep it smooth. So I have no idea what is going on.
This experience is the opposite with HD, where FCPX is significantly faster (using the same filters/plugin, using C300 Canon XF for HD and 4 and 5K RedRaw alternatively). Premiere seems slower in HD than FCPX by a good amount in HD and signficantly faster with Redraw 4k. Go figure.

Can SpeedGrade use GPU Acceleration in New Mac Pro?

Good afternoon, I would like to know if Adobe SpeedGrade is able to take advantage of GPU acceleration AMD FirePro D500 installed in the brand new Mac Pro. Thanks in advance for your reply.

Reason: More searchable title

Supported GPU technologies (Mac):
- AMD/nVidia OpenCL for direct link in MacOS 10.8.5 and higher
- OpenGL for SG native
Supported GPU technologies (Win):
- AMD OpenCL, nVidia Cuda for direct link in Win7,Win8, Win8.1
- OpenGL for SG native
Note: Although SG not utilises two GPU's, it should run fine on your new Mac Pro and use OpenCL for acceleration

How to transfer fcp7 to new mac pro mavericks

OSX 10.9.5
2014 Mac Pro (trash can)
2.7 GHz 12 Core Intel Xeon E5
32GB 1867 MHz DDR3
Hey everyone, I need some help.
I would like to transfer FCP7 to my recently purchased Mac Pro.
I'm in the process of upgrading, but first need FCP7 to work before making all the final changes.
I would attempt a clean install but the original FCS, along with the FCP7 upgrade discs are currently lost ever since I moved from NY TO MN.
I migrated FCP7 directly from my 2010 Mac Pro into the new Mac Pro applications folder. But immedialetly after trying to launch FCP7 I get "Final Cut Pro cannot be opened because of a problem."
Did I miss any hidden files or folders located elsewhere in the CPU?
I would like to run FCP7 on the new Mac Pro (2014) from my previously purchased copy currently located on my older Mac Pro (2010) which is also running Mavericks.
I hope I made enough sense to you all, enough to get pointed in the right direction.
Peace and thank you,
B-NYC

How did you do this? Without the original install discs, your only option it to use the Migration Assistant.app.
If you just copied the application, it will not work.
If you did get if from your older computer via the Migration Assistant.app, then trash your FCP preferences.
You can download (free) Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion and it will do all the work for you:

Your FCP preferences will be reset to default settings the next time you launch FCP.

Blu-ray with separate 4-pin and 39-pin connector on a new Mac Pro ?

I have a 2007 blu-ray burner I am trying to install as the 2nd drive in my new 12-core Mac Pro. But how to you connect it (it has separate 4-pin power and 39-pin connector) ? Any feedback would sure be appreciated.

The drive is PATA. Older Mac Pros uses PATA optical drives but newer Mac Pros use SATA. There are adapters
<http://www.sonnettech.com/product/tempo_bridge.html>
The adapter was intended for hard drives but should also work with optical drives. You may want to check with Sonnet before buying to see if it works with Blu-ray drives

Premiere Pro CC continuous crash and extremely slow renders on a new Mac Pro.

Hello,
recently we changed our editing machines with the new Mac Pro with this configuration:
- CPU 3,5 GHz 6 core Intel Xeon E5
- 32 GB RAM
- 2x AMD FirePro D700 6 GB
we work on a server connected to the Mac Pro in Dual Ethernet configuration.
The rendering of a sequence at 1920x1080 with 3 video tracks (video footage converted at ProRes 422 LT, a title on a linked After Effects Comp and a PSD graphic overlay of a small logo) of the length of about 3 minutes it takes about 4 hour... when it doesn't crash.
When it crash, usually when i simply scroll the timeline, i receive an error message very long (if you want I can send you a rtf file about it, it's too long to paste it here).
These are my system information:
- Premiere Pro CC 8.2.0 (65)
- I've installed every updates available at this time
- OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
Thank you very much in advance, and sorry for my bad english.

Thanks Andrea for your assistance in reporting that additional information. You have come across an intermittent bug which has been reported by other users with no reliable repro steps for us to follow in house. So it appears to be mainly system specific, but we're not even sure which sorts of systems demonstrate it yet.
One other thing to try is clearing your media cache files (from preferences > media panel). In the meantime,e the best thing to do is make sure you submit those crash logs to adobe whenever you get them. This helps us identify common thread among various users who may be experiencing the same problem. Also, if you have time, please file a bug report describing the steps that caused the issue in your case: http://adobe.ly/ReportBug
Please be as specific as possible when describing your steps. Without a repeatable case, a bug like this is very, very difficult to fix. Thanks again for your support.
To work around the sloe render for AE comp problem, please try right clicking on the comp in the timeline and then choose the "Render and Replace" command to transcode it out to a more easily handled format. This should help a lot with your performance slowness, and you will still have the ability to restore the original comp files if needed.

Render times very slow on new Mac Pro and Premiere CC

Hi there
I have a brand spanking new Mac Pro (specs below) working off a G Studio r 24 TB array. Rendering anything in Premiere is taking an age (2 minutes timeline is taking 30 minutes). I am cutting 4k Sony F5 footage (XAVC). I have done tests with 1080 material and this doesn't make any difference.
I have spoken to Adobe support and reset permissions plus all the basic workarounds suggested: but there has been no improvement. I was due a call back but have not heard anything.
Can anyone suggest a solution - i have several important deadlines coming up, and can't really deal with the downtime.
I understand 3rd party apps take longer, but even with PP effects, rendering is taking way too long: especially with a super fast system like this.
Regards
