Premiere Pro CS5.5 incompatible with current Mac Pros?

Does anyone know if the new version of CS5.5 Premiere pro is compatible with the current line of Mac Pros?
At present, CS5 Premiere pro is not. After nearly six months I know they have been unable to correct a problem which causes a complete system freeze under repeatable circumstances and the problem is tied to current Mac Pros standard configuration with ATI cards.

Tom,
I wish I better understood your reply. I don't know what MPE refers to, nor do I know what text file hack you have mentioned.
What I do see is that the system requirements for Premiere Pro 5.5's GPU is listed as follows:
- Adobe-certified GPU card for GPU–accelerated performance; visit www.adobe.com/go/premiere_systemreqs for the latest list of supported cards
Interestingly, it posts this link on the page it is sending you to, which does not inspire great confidence regarding accuracy.
Lower down on the page there is only a list of Nvidia cards. If Adobe no longer supports ATI(or AMD cards) cards for GPU acceleration, they are not supporting any of the standard configurations on any Macintosh currently offered.
Regardless, if the product is hard crashing the system with all standard current configurations under common and repeatable circumstances, there is a serious issue consumers need to be made aware of before purchase.

  • Adobe Premiere CC play delay with newest Mac Pro.

    Anyone have issues hitting play on the timeline (out of a multicam edit) and there is a few second delay (or more) when the head starts to react?
    I have a late 2013 Mac Pro, six core, 6gig dual v-ram, 64GB ram and six disk array partitioned to two, via a Thunderbolt 1 interface where the assets are held.
    Needless to say, this adds a lot of time to the editng.   FCPX has no delay but I couldn't get the multicam to sync up, even going through Pluraleyes.
    Thanks!

    Usually, it's this: Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later). It's caused by some methods of updating OS X.
    BTW, most people are operating 8.1 with no issues, myself included.
    A majority of the issues people are having are updating complex project files from 8.0.1 to 8.1. Please don't update project files or your OS when in the middle of a project. This rule of thumb is very important to safeguarding your project file.

  • Why is mountain lion incompatible with my mac pro?

    The app store says that Mountain Lion is incompatible.  Not sure why. I have 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon processors.  I have 8 GB of memory free and over 800 GB of storage free.  Can someone explain?
    Thanks,

    If you're running Lion, it should, where my iMac shows it's an early 2009 design:
    But a Mac Pro 1,1 is probably an August, 2006 model.  I don't find an article that connects the model number to build period for Mac Pros, but plug your serial number into this site.  It should show it.

  • What about the ati radeon 4870 makes it incompatible with '07 mac pros?

    maybe a stupid question but there ya go.

    OWC was selling some OEM Apple 3870's last summer, short supply, never were sold by Apple, and unlike the retail 3870s, these would ONLY work in the 2008 Mac Pro.... so there is some precedent that the new Apple branded may not work in our EFI32 systems also.
    Or ATI could come out with another retail version; but this time around I'm not yet seeing a universal statement "works on any Mac Pro" for hardware requirements.
    "EFI64" is how folks talk about it, but may not be technically correct term, and just something we "made up" to describe - the whole need for two sets of EBC firmware for two versions of the Nvidia 8800GTs out there.
    (I thought EFI would begin to take off or be used more in the PC universe or something by HP and others but it is only officially supported on 64-bit OS/hardware. Snow Leopard will use 64-bit drivers. I wonder if that is part of the move to EFI64 or whatever the rightful name.)

  • Airport/TC working with MacBook Pro but not with my Mac Pro???

    Hi all,
    I've got a Time Capsule connected to a Westell Modem through AT&T. Needless to say; I've had a lot of issues with my setup but this one has my stumped.
    After my network crashed a few days ago, I reset everything and got my Airport network running on my laptop. I cannot get it to work on my Mac Pro. My MP doesn't even see the Time Capsule when I run Airport Utility. It'll show the network on the Airport Icon at the top of the page and will even let me choose it when picking a network to connect to.
    Anyone know what to do, please help!!!
    Thanks!!!
    Chris

    On the Mac that won't connect using wireless:
    Open System Preferences and click on Network
    Click the Airport connection on the left
    Click the Advanced button on the lower right
    Look for the name of your wireless network and delete it using the - (minus) button at the bottom of the connection list. Delete any other networks that you do not need as well
    Apply changes
    Open Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access
    Under the Kind column, look for any listings of Airport Network Password and delete them
    Restart your computer
    Keep your Mac close to the TC for now and click the AirPort icon at the top of the screen and try to log on to your wireless network.

  • Is logic pro 9 from the app store compatible with my Mac pro?

    It's compatible. Note that there's an App Store (for iPhones, iPads and iPods touch) and a Mac App Store (for Macs, available since Mac OS X 10.6.6). Just open the Mac App Store and purchase Logic Pro 9

  • Premiere Pro CS5 features - PC vs Mac

    This isn't a PC vs Mac question.  I have both PCs (Win 7) and Macs (Snow Leopard).  Just wondering if there is any advantage to buying the PC version or Mac version of PP CS5 if considering the software only?  Any different  features on one version or the other?  Any stabilityy/bug issues using one or the other?  Thanks.

    Subject: Premiere Pro CS5 features - PC vs Mac
    Is that list of missing features for the Mac version of PPro CS5
    still current, or has it been updated in the newer versions?
    What is in the Help document should be current. (Sometimes you need to read the comments on a given page to see some updated information.)
    Or are
    there any plans for including these features in future upgrades of CS5?
    If you want to see something added or changed, http://www.adobe.com/go/wish.
    Do
    you have any idea why these features are not included?
    Premiere Pro came back to Mac OS only a couple of versions ago. At that time, porting some features over to the new platform was considered to be not quite worth it because the features weren't much used, anyway. In many cases, the effects and features that are on Windows only have alternatives that are available on Mac OS. Much of what didn't come over to Mac OS were obsolete effects; we need to keep them around so that projects created with them can still work in the new version, but in many cases there wasn't much point in reqriting them for a new platform.
    I'd love to
    start using the PPro CS5 on Mac, but I am worried about some of the
    missing features, that are quite useful, eg. Camera Blur, Ghosting,
    Color Replace etc...
    As I said, there are alternatives-usually superior alternatives-that are available on Mac OS. For example, the http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS5C347E48-575E-469b-852C-74494022A4AFa.h tml and http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WSC924856D-FA9A-41c1-A930-966D90CD245Fa.h tml effects are available on both platforms, so the lack of the Color Replace effect shouldn't be much concern.
    But, again, if you want to see something added or changed, http://www.adobe.com/go/wish.

  • Is OCZ Vertex Turbo 60GB 2.5" SSD compatible with my Mac Pro, or do I need

    Is OCZ Vertex Turbo 60GB 2.5" SSD compatible with my Mac Pro, or do I need the Vertex Mac Edition?
    I have decided to purchase a SSD to use as a boot drive in the spare optical drive bay.
    There are so many brands available, and Intel X25-M 'G2' seems generally to be the most highly rated overall. However, there is virtually no stock of 80GBs in the UK at present, except at extortionate prices, and I don't need 160GB.
    Kingston SSDs are very reasonably priced, but seem to be a bit of an unknown quantity, although I rate their DDR3 memory very highly.
    I have visited the websites of several manufacturers, and read various online reviews, and the recently introduced OCZ Vertex Turbo has had some good reviews, albeit on PC forums.
    At the moment I can buy the 60GB Turbo for £170.66 inc.VAT from ebuyer.com, whereas their price for the standard Vertex 60GB is £193.99 inc. VAT, which seems very strange!
    When I googled "OCZ Solid State Drives +UK", Amazon UK appeared on the listings, but there was a footnote which said " not suitable for use on Mac".
    OCZ list a Vertex Series Mac Edition on their website, and that is why I am asking this question.
    Unfortunately, there are no UK listings when I google the Mac Edition, and I am hoping that somebody of the ilk of "the hatter" or "samsara" will be able to answer my question.
    If anybody else is using the Vertex Turbo in a Mac, I would be very grateful for your input. Likewise if you have had bad experiences with OCZ SSDs.
    If I wait 3-4 weeks I should be able to buy an Intel X25-M G2 80GB for round about the same price as the Vertex Turbo 60GB, i.e. if prices remain the same as currently being quoted by vendors who are out of stock.
    All input will be very gratefully received. If it is positive, I will go ahead and order a Vertex Turbo from ebuyer, in case they run out of stock (which is 16 at present).
    Many thanks in anticipation, guys!

    Hi Samsara,
    Many thanks for your advices once again.
    60GB will be more than adequate as my boot drive. At the moment I am using a VelociRaptor 300GB, and I have used less than 30GB of space. That is after reinstalling all my applications and software, and includes all my files, folders, and printer drivers etc.
    I have utilised under 50GB of the original 640GB hard drive, but that includes a lot of photo images which I imported into both iPhoto and Aperture.
    When I receive my Agility EX SSD I will clone from the VelociRaptor using Super Duper, and I will then set up a 4 drive RAID 0 using 4 VelociRaptor 300GB disks. That set up should suit my needs for many years to come, even when I eventually upgrade from Photoshop Elements 8 to CS5.
    I will back up the Agility EX to the 640GB hard drive using Super Duper Smart Update, and that will be my spare boot drive.
    The 4 drive RAID 0 will be backed up to the My Book Studio Edition II 2TB, using Time Machine.
    In your experienced opinion, do you think that set up will be satisfactory?
    The Agility EX is actually the latest generation of OCZ SSDs, and it is one of only 2 models in their "Maximum Performance" range, whereas the original Agility was only a "Mainstream" model.
    The key factor is that the Agility EX uses single-level cells (SLC), instead of multi-level cells (MLC). It is second only to the Vertex EX Series in terms of performance per GB in the OCZ range of SATA 2.5" Solid State Drives.
    In very recent reviews it has outperformed both the Vertex Turbo and Vertex 120GB models from the OCZ "Performance" range in most of the test benchmarks.

    http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=oczagilityex&num=1
    http://www.guru3d.com/article/ocz-agility-ex-ssd-60gb-review-test/3
    The above are just a few of the very favourable reviews of the Agility EX SSD.
    I preferred to buy a 60GB SLC, rather than a 120GB MLC, because SLCs reputedly have 10 times more life expectancy, and performance wise per GB there is no comparison.
    Only time will tell if I have made the right decision!

  • Premiere Pro CC and the New Mac Pro (2014)

    I'm expecting delivery soon of a new Mac Pro, nicely loaded, which I purchased mainly because of all the work I do with video. Yet, I read in a review that Adobe Premiere Pro isn't optimized to take advantage of the new Mac Pro, won't run faster, and I'm better off using Apple's Final Cut.
    1. Is this true?; and
    2. If so, will Premiere Pro be updated any time soon to run best on a 2014 Mac Pro?
    My new Mac Pro will have the following configuration:
    3.5GHz 6-core with 12MB of L3 cache
    32GB (4x8GB) of 1866MHz DDR3 ECC
    1TB PCIe-based flash storage
    Dual AMD FirePro D700 GPUs with 6GB of GDDR5 VRAM each

    My main problem is that when i export using gpu open gl it crashes hard boot the mac pro. A 3 min timeline with 4k footage n a bunch of color grading.  I get lucky if the timeline is shorter. But i think it is a gpu issue n my mac must be fixed. Currently under apple tech support. N my case is unique. No one has had the same issue and that makes it harder for me to figure the isse and to apple figure the issue.
    If i export using software only mercury then the export goes smoothe no mattrr how long. But that defeata the point of owning a mac pro with 2 GPUs

    I have had my 12 core 2014 Mac Pro for a couple of weeks now, and I'm not very impressed with Premiere CC performance with 4K R3D on a 1920 x 1080 timeline.
    I understand that there may be an update soon that will take adantage of the CPU's and GPU's when it comes to the complex task of de-bayering the R3D footage, but it's just not there now.
    I get similar playback performance to what I experienced on my 09 Mac Pro tower.
    Any insights on getting better playback performance in this scenario would be greatly appreciated.

  • Using a 30" Cinema Display with new Mac Pro

    Hello Everyone:
    I just purchased, and waiting to arrive a new 2014 8 core Mac Pro which is an upgrade to my 2009 quad core Mac Pro. I currently use a 30 inch Apple Cinema display which has the DVI connection. I was thinking that I would use a DVI to HDMI adapter and plug the 30" into the HDMI port on the new Mac Pro. I have since heard that people have been having issues with this older monitor getting it to work properly with the new mac pro. some have suggested buy the $99 mini display port to DVI adapter and using that, but I don't believe there is a mini display port on the new mac pro.
    I have considered buying a new thunderbolt display because I am assuming that it will have a much better image quality than the older 30 in display but I hate the fact that it's a 27" and I would be giving up the 3" in size. I do a lot of video and audio recording editing and love the extra screen real-estate.  Can anyone confirm a couple of things for me?
    1. Will the 30 inch display work with a new mac pro and can I use the DVI to HDMI adapter?
    2. Does the new Thunderbolt display have a much better image quality than the 30 in display and because its newer, will look that much better with the mach pro?
    Thank you in advance.

    1. Will the 30 inch display work with a new Mac Pro?
    Yes.
    Can I use the DVI to HDMI adapter?
    Not if you want full resolution.  You need a Mini DisplayPort to dual-link DVI adapter
    <http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-ada pter>
    It plugs into a Thunderbolt port (and USB port) on the computer.
    2. Does the new Thunderbolt display have a much better image quality than the 30 in display and because its newer, will look that much better with the Mac Pro?
    No, it has more pixels (in the vertical direction), but they are spaced a bit more apart, so you don't want  to be as close to the display.

  • I need lots of USB ports with New Mac Pro, now what?

    because I'm in the audio business I needs lot of USB ports with my Mac Pro. On my current 2008 machine, that's not really an issue, with 5 ports on teh MP itself and I installed some USB hubs over PCIe that give me a total of 13 port. I'm not really sure what is the best way to get that amount on the new MP.
    Oh, and I really like the stability of my current set up. Before I went with an external USB Hub that always gave me headaches with ports not being recognized.

    The only two things I found so far are:
    a/ going back to the external USB hubs, which I find very frustrating to work with, because instable with connection and I would need to add some interface to go from USB to TB (which are also rather expensive at the moment)
    b/ use some external PCIe enclosures that are really expensive.
    So I havent really found the right solution for my situation. Which makes me hesitant to migrate to new MP at the moment.

  • Premiere Pro CC and the new Mac Pro - are all upgrades necessary?

    Monday I'm ordering the new Mac Pro because my Mid 2012 Mac Pro tower is simply too slow and crashy no matter how much money I sink into it. Thing is, every little upgrade I add onto this new Mac Pro is very expensive, so I want to make sure I don't add anything that won't make a difference in edit performance.
    My ultimate goal is to be able to work with 4k, and even 5k footage in 2014. More and more clients are giving me Red media, and my system right now can't handle it (I have to render proxy files for everything).
    Attached are my hardware upgrade options for my processor and graphics card. These options can only be offered when I order the computer. Neither the processor or the GFX card can be changed by me later. Note that these options alone almost double the computers's price (3600). As of now I assume that getting the fastest everything is the way to go, but is there any reason I should not go this high?
    jesse

    We have an issue when we send a film to the media encoder it crashes about half of the time for no particular reason
    Anyone else got that too with Premiere Pro CC and the new Media encoder?
    Lack of detailed info makes your question impossible for anyone to answer you!

  • HT4628 I can not use the internal wireless card with my Mac pro 2012, I don't know if it is broken

    I can not use the internal wireless card with my Mac pro 2012, I don't know if it is broken. The problem is happen recently, I have to use an independent wireless card now. Thanks!

    When you enable Internet Sharing in OS X, you are creating a separate sub-net.
    There is no option to allow this to be a simple pass-through from Ethernet to AirPort (or the other way).
    The problem is easily solved by getting an inexpensive wireless router. You can replace your current router OR disable the DHCP server on the wireless router and allow the wireless clients to get an IP address from the current router.
