Adobe Deployment Toolkit - premiere pro CS4 with sms 2003

Hi I have followed all the Adobe Deployment Toolkit instructions and
the AdobeUberInstaller.exe will run in a command line mode fine , but
can't get it work in sms 2003.I have the program path as suggested \AdobeUberInstaller.exe but I see an error exit code of 1 on the failed install ie failed to parse command line.
Any ideas, or anyone had success with this depolyment?

I have only 12 GB. There is however a sound reason for that amount and not 24 or even more. A PC is only as good as it's weakest link. Usually that are the mechanical parts, meaning disks. And there is always a budget limitation. And there is availability of parts.
With all these restrictions, only 6 DIMM slots, and the limited choice of DDR3-10600 sticks in anything other than 2 GB sticks (just looking today I was not able to find any 4 GB sticks, apart from Kingston Value RAM in ECC edition with CL9 at triple the price of 2 GB), I considered it better to invest in disks than a long search for very expensive memory sticks.
These considerations make that the most logical amount of memory today is 12 GB and not 24 or more, at least on mobo's with only 6 DIMM slots.
Would Adobe use more than 12 GB, even up to xx GB, well I don't know, but the diminishing returns of the extra memory at very high prices make it more logical and economical to invest in a good disk setup.

Dear Adobe, please patch Premiere Pro CS4

Dear Adobe
How come there's a minor patch to Adobe Reader or to Flash every few weeks, yet no patches at all in the automatic updates for Premiere Pro CS4?
I am extremely annoyed with Premiere Pro CS4. It crashes for some dumb reason or another every single day.
The biggest problem of all is the Adobe Media Encoder. Should it crash when I click to change the location of a render? Why does it ask if I want to overwrite a file (say, "test.mov"), then makes a new version of the file anyway ("test_1.mov"). Plus the far more serious problems documented in the forum.
I like the new features, but CS4 is not reliable. No one can work in a product that they can't trust.
People have asked me if CS4 is worth the money for an upgrade. I have been kind and polite, saying, "Well, I have found some bugs, but it has a lot of nice new features".
My tune changed last night. I'm tired of the bugs, crashes, and lack of patches.
I will now say, "CS4 is absolutely not worth buying until it is fixed. Stay away. You'll only be aggravated."

I assume that Adobe considers these sorts of problems "installation" issues and does not charge for support. Is that correct? Yes, that is no guarantee of success, but that has appeared to me to be an important step in their fixing issues: dealing with specific hardware/OS issues. After all, it only takes one problematic driver to create some of the problems that are reported. And some problems will be Operator Error.
I agree that details can be helpful, but as we've learned before, there can be an amazing list of things that are potentially relevant. Bill Gehrke, I've forgotten what you said about the status of your benchmark, but I think your system is a very important way to translate "Premiere CSx is slow" etc to meaningful information about various computer subsystems. Adobe should hire you to set this up as a troubleshooting aid. (Wil, I'm serious.)
In addition to a list of hardware, there's also the list of troubleshooting steps. E.g. have you turned off "whatever you call that nasty thing in Vista that wrecks your performance".
And, in the case of CS4 (perhaps CS3 was no different), we have to be sure we are talking about the same "task" - SD, vs the many flavors of other video.
One step in this is for Eric and others that have working systems to list their hardware and setup, and for those with very similar systems that are not operating to see if they can sort out differences.
I don't have CS4 yet - CS3, WinXP SP3, P4 2.8, 2G Ram. It's not that I'm waiting for you beta-plus testers to iron out the bugs, I just can't afford it and the new computer I need for it. But, I sure hope you get them ironed out by the time I'm ready....

Slow render time in Premiere Pro CS4 (with fast computer?)

Hello people on the Adobe Forums,
I hope someone can help me with this question, it's been bothering me a long long time now and this week i have to make a decision, or fix the problem and keep this configuration, or spend money for a new cpu (i5 750) and a new motherboard. But i think this computer should do better then it does. I have the following configuration:
AMD Athlon X2 4600+
Nvidia GeForce 7800GTX
2× 1Gb OCZ memory (DDR, PC2400, 250mhz)
Storage Disks:
Seagate 320GB SATA (7200, i think)
WD 74GB SATA (10.000RPM, OS)
Hitachi 500GB SATA (also 7200, i think)
WD 1TB USB (SATA) (extern hdd)
WD 250GB SATA (7200, i think)
So, i don't understand the problem, Premiere is running very slow on my computer.. The rendering of a 5min piece of just a random movie takes like 3 hours! Just right now i am rendering some things I filmed with my mobile, it does like 1 frame in 10sec!! On most pc's with this vice versa!
So the cpu is not that old, and neither is the videocard, meaby the memory is a little bit low.. Could that be the problem?
Hope you people can help me out, i searched Google and everywhere but can't find anyone with this problem..
List of software:
- Windows 7 Ultimate
- Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
Drivers are, as far as i know, all up to date, i updated the Adobe programs too..
Describe source material, Codec: XDCAM-EX Movie (mp4)
But like i said, it happens too avi too, it think that was DivX..
I bought this pc second-hand, so it could be that something in the processor is already broken and i didn't notice it at all.. i searched like everywhere and also tried too reinstall the program but that doesn't work either..

Well, I'm helping other people too here on some dutch foras and i hate how people say things like "Doesn't work. Help" and just wait and wait for someone to answer. Plus i want to order my new hardware this evening (10:27pm now here), so meaby that's a 'cause' too, to make you people answer fast! (and it worked! hehe)
So, what i am thinking of right now is to upgrade the motherboard, cpu and ram.. The videocard can wait a little more:
- Motherboard: MSI P55-GD65 (not sure of this one, good reviews&tests, Asrock P55 Extreme is an option too.. be my guest to do another recommendation) (Asus P7P55D seems like a good option)
- CPU: Probably an I5 750 from Intel, heard good things about this one.. Although i've always used AMD..
- RAM: I really don't know, don't see many differences between the RAM sticks.. But yeh: OCZ Gold OCZ3G2000LV4GK
Sorry for no links to product pages, you have to do a little search, i only got some dutch websites, and i know for sure that you all having you're own comparing/specs websites (which i don't know) .
Thank you very much untill now, meaby i get another reply tonight.. Ohye, plans changed, i'm not ordering tonight anymore.. I'll do that tomorrow morning (I'll do a few calls to a view webshops and see if they got in stock, if so, i'm gonna drive (or go with bus) to one of them.. I need it really really quick, need to submit a project from school August 30
Thanks everyone!
Just took a look at the links you gave me, the Asus P7P55D is an option too!
Took a look at the links, added the "Asus P7P55D".
What i forgot to mention: I got a budget with a max of like €400,- (That's like 510usd, I don't even really have the money) so I can't buy a whole new pc..

Exporting Settings (Premiere Pro CS4 with Matrox)

Premiere Pro CS4
Canon XHG1 camera (HDV/Mini DV/NTSC)
Matrox RT.X2
HP Z800 with 2.4GHz Intel Xeon processor, 12GB RAM, and running Windows 7
I have experience with digital video editing in Premiere, exporting up to 40-minute videos (that took maybe 2 hours to export), but the last version I used was maybe Premiere 7 and I didn’t have the Matrox card (and was using a computer much less capable than this one). I was also just using a consumer-level camera, not the big Canon. Now I’m trying to export video and there are way more choices than I had before, and it seems like the estimated time to export is quite high, despite having a good machine and the Matrox card.
So my question is, is there a chart anywhere that says what settings to use for the particular output you are looking for? For instance, what should I pick for the web that is good enough quality but not a giant file? What should I pick if I want to make a DVD? Is there a way to directly export to a DVD if you aren’t manipulating the video at all? I’ve been told I should be able to utilize the Matrox card to reduce the export time, but it seems like it takes at least 5 times the length of the video to export no matter what.
I guess an important question here is, what is the normal amount of time I should expect something to take to export? I have a 2-hour video that just needs to be transferred from the mini DV tapes and burned to a DVD – no effects necessary. The lowest export time estimate I can get is around 10 hours, and I have no idea what that will look like in terms of quality when done.
In the future I will be doing mostly short (2 minutes or less) videos for web, so export time should be short, but I’d still like to know what the best settings are and how long it should take.
I hope this makes sense – thanks for your help!
Genevieve

Thanks for your help. I have copied and pasted my results below. It seemed to get through that queue very quickly, so perhaps the slowness is do to something more specific in the project I am working on. Perhaps a large mismatch in what I am capturing vs. what I am exporting? The camera is recording in HD.... I don't know much about hardware at all, and only know very basic stuff about exporting, so I know it is probably difficult to understand what I'm looking for. The last version of Premiere I had basically allowed you to choose format, size, quality, and codec whereas this version has so many different export settings I can pick from, it is hard to just guess and check which ones work best.

Use After Effects and Premiere Pro CS4 with Creative Cloud license

I have a one-year license for Creative Cloud, but because I have a 32-bit version of Windows 7, I can't use After Effects and Premiere Pro. On the website I read that for users with a 32bit OS it is possible to use AE and PP CS4 with the CC license. But I can't find a way to download CS4 with my Creative Cloud account. Can anybody help me with this? Is it possible to download CS4 with a CC license?

I have marked the remark in red. It says: "If you want to use the Windows XP supported After Effects or Adobe Premiere Pro, you have to download the CS-4-versions of the software with your Creative Cloud Membership. U can also use these versions with a 32-bit Windows Operating System."

Hats off to adobe for updating Premiere pro CS4 4.01 beta to 4.1 beta

now it runs close to what its supposed to.

I haven't tested rendering but my big projects load 10x faster and I get realtime playback with Magic Bullet looks. Also get twice the frame rate when Dl to AE. I then now having to interpret every damn file.
4.0 was beta...I agree but 4.1 is what CS4 should have been. I knew I had a fast computer but know it finally feels like it.
Also great better BCC suport...cool and even better it only takes less than a second to to click back to Premiere from any other program. 8 times faster at least.
I'm happy.

Need help with 24fps in Premiere Pro CS4

I am having issues working with 24fps imported video. My computer hardware is an AMD dual core processor running at 2.6GHz. It has 2GB of Kingston Hyper-X memory, 2x 300GB hard drives (not RAID), and an Nvidia 7900GS video card with 256MB video ram. My operating system is Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1. I am running Premiere Pro CS4 with all the current updates.
So here is the issue I am having. I captured video on a Canon XL2 in 24fps, 16:9 widescreen, and 2:3:3:2 pulldown. My CS4 project settings were set up as DV-24P Widescreen 48KHz. I did not try changing other settings on the other tabs. I captured the video directly from the XL2 with no dropped frames. The resulting AVI plays back in Windows Media Player 11 correctly. What I mean by that is the is no jerky video, I get no raster lines, and the video quality is very clear. When I load the video into the time line and play it back in the program monitor the video jerks like it is dropping frames, I get raster lines and it looks like video clarity fades in and out.
At first I thought nothing about it. I used Adobe Media Encoder, and burned a DVD. Playback on my widescreen TV looked jerky, rastered, and the video was only clear in static scenes. So I made some test projects with different settings. Still had no success. The original capture looks good, but whatever I do in Premiere the video jerks and looks like old VHS video.
I did another test. I set the XL2 to 30P and 4:3, and captured the video. Again the captured AVI looks good. Put it on the Premiere timeline and played it in the program monitor. It plays fine - good video quality, no rastering, and no jerking. Made a DVD with no problems in the video. So my question is what setting in Premiere do I need to capture, edit, and export 24fps 16:9 widescreen video so that it plays back with with the same video quality as it was captured? Do you think it is an encoder problem? The captured AVI is what ever encoder came with Windows/Premiere as I have not added any other encoders.
Any help would be apperciated. If I have not supplied enough information, please just ask.

If the video is playing back badly in Premiere Pro from the timeline, then the things I would check would be the program monitor quality - is it set to highest...if you don't know where that it is, click on the 4 horizontal lines in the top corner of the program monitor - make sure highest quality is selected. It also may be a video card issue - are your drivers up to date? If the clips are only playing back badly on the PPro timeline (and anything exported from it), but fine in Windows Media Player - something is up.
As for the frame rate - no, you don't have to work at 24P...as mentioned before, the camera actually records at 29.97 fps, but is able to be played back and edited at 23.976 fps (or 24P)...it's a complicated explanation on how it all works...
If you're going to finish to a regular DVD, then working at 29.97 is the way to go. As for the interpret footage command, highlight the clips in your bin, then right click on them - in the menu, you'll see interpret footage - click on that and a new window should open...you should see a box with a check next to it that says remove 24P pulldown - click it (removing the check) and the footage frame rate should change to 29.97 - then click OK...create a 29.97 sequence (DV NTSC Widescreen 48Khz), and edit away.

Premiere Pro CS4 Big Problem

When I open Adobe Premiere PRO CS4 (with all updates) I can't click on "New Project", "Open Project", "Help"... When I click any of them it just blinks, if I clicked it anywhere else. I'm also on Windows XP SP3 / 32bit version. Please help me guys!

I have to agree with Harm. I didn't read it that way, Jeff. It reads as if the OP ran the script and did the reinstall before Bill suggested it, and that still didn't work.
The way I read the OP's final post is that something else worked, but we don't know what. Now maybe that's wrong, but that's how it reads to me.

Premiere Pro CS4 no 5.1 Surround, only DolbyDigital Stereo!

Hallo,
ich habe ein Projekt eröffnet in Premiere Pro CS4 mit DolbyDigital. Habe anschließend meine AVCHD Videomaterial mit 5.1 Surround importiert. Die Soundspur wurde auch korrekt ind die 5.1 Soundspur eingefügt. Anschließend habe ich über den Adobe Dynamik Link mein Projekt an Encore CS4 gesendet. Dort habe ich ebenfalls ein Projekt eröffnet mit dein Einstellungen DVD und DolbyDigital. Ein Menü erstellt und anschließend auf DVD ausgegeben. Leider habe ich auf der DVD nur DolbyDigital Stereo! Warum? Was mache ich falsch?
Vorab vielen Dank für eine Antwort.
Hello,
I have opened a project in premiere pro CS4 with Dolby-Digital. If my videomaterial AVCHD with 5.1 Surround has imported afterwards. The sound track was also inserted correctly in the 5.1 trace. Afterwards I have sent about the Adobe Dynamklink my project to Encore CS4. There I have also opened a project with your settings DVD and Dolby-Digital. A menu provided and afterwards on DVD spent. Unfortunately, I have on the DVD only Dolby-Digital in stereo! Why? What do I make wrong?
thank you beforehand for answer

Hallo Torsten,
Ja, ich spreche deutsch aber ich wohne in den Niederlanden, in Rotterdam. Ich habe jedoch das Glueck gehabt in der Schweiz zur Schule gegangen zu sein und gelegentlich noch deutsch oder sogar baernduetsch zu reden. Mein Vater und meine Tochter leben beiden in der Schweiz, genau wie verschiedene Freunden. Also deswegen...
Die Adobe Mitarbeiter haben deine Frage offensichtlich nicht ganz verstanden. Es ist richtig dass du 5.1 Audio von Encore ausgeben kannst ohne plug-in, aber sie haben sich nicht die Frage gestellt woher diese Audio in 5.1 Format herkommen soll. Sie haben einfach angenommen dass du schon ein 5.1 Soundtrack zur Verfuegung hast. Dazu brauchst du die Surcode plug-in zur Ausgabe von PR nach EN.
Die unkontrollierte Knackser die du hast, kommen oefters vor. Meistens ist das zurueck zu fuehren auf ungenuegend Disk Geschwindigkeit. Du kannst probieren die Media Cache zu entfernen, PR ab zu schliessen, PR erneut zu starten und dann wird alles erneut indexiert, conformed und PEK files werden erneut hergestellt. Vielleicht hilft das.
Hallo Harm,
Du sprichst deutsch! Damit hätte ich jetzt nicht gerechnet. Eigentlich bin ich auch davon ausgegangen, dass mein schriftliches Englisch misserabel ist!
Danke nochmals für Deine Antwort und das Angebot Dir eine PN schicken zu dürfen, wenn ich noch eine Frage haben sollte. Ich habe vor einigen Wochen eine Hochzeit gefilmt mit meiner Sonykamera und bin fast verrückt geworden, dass ich das mit 5.1 nicht hinbekommen habe. Ich habe meine drei Tests nun aufgebraucht und werde mir die Freischaltung des SurCode holen.
Eine Frage hätte ich noch, die mich momentan beschäftigt. Ich habe in den letzten Wochen verschiedene Aufnahmen getätigt. Wenn ich mein Filmmaterial in Premiere Pro importiere, habe ich im Sound immer wieder unkontrollierte Knackser. Wenn ich mir jedoch das Originalmaterial, z. B. mit dem VLC-Player anschaue, sind keine Knackser vorhanden. Hast Du darauf eine Antwort oder Idee. Das Soundmaterial liegt wieder in 5.1 vor.
Ich habe auch bereits mit Adobe u. a. wegen diesem Problem Kontakt aufgenommen, jeodch von dort erhalte ich keine Vernünftige Antwort. Die wollten mir auch weiß machen, dass ich mit dem Encore mein Video in 5.1 ausgeben kann und kein Plug-In benötige.
P.S.: Lebst Du eigentlich in Deutschland?
Grüße Torsten
Uebrigens, woher kommst du eigentlich? Trifft dies zu:
Von der Weser bis zur Elbe,
Von dem Harz bis an das Meer
Stehen Niedersachsens Söhne,
Eine feste Burg und Wehr
Fest wie unsre Eichen
halten alle Zeit wir stand,
Wenn Stürme brausen
Übers deutsche Vaterland.

Windows 7 X64 & Premiere pro CS4 issues

Hi All,
I have a Dell Precision 690 with a clean install of Windows 7 X64 and a new (1st time) install of Production Suite CS3 (excluding Premeiere Pro CS3 and Encore CS3) and a new (1st time) install of Premiere Pro CS4 with Encore CS4.
After starting a new HD project (1920 x 1080 29.98) if I try to open any (old or new) sequence, the program does a "serious error" hicup and has to shut down.
Everytime I run Premiere Pro CS4 and try to load a project previously saved to the raid array that was created under XP Pro 32bit (previous life) I get this message saying that the scratch discs are write protected and would I like to change to the default (C drive) location for scratch discs. Within the original project the scartch disc was the external raid array. I can access that raid no problem from windows explorer and read and write to it. Also all the clips within the project are read from the raid so I don't get it. Anyone come across anything like this before?

try opening the project, clicking OK when it tells you that the scratches are write protected, and then when it opens, go to the top menu bar and click Project > project settings > Scratch discs and re-point your scratches to the location you want them. Save, and you should be good to go.

Panasonic AG-HMC74ER and Premiere Pro CS4

Hi i need help i use Premiere Pro CS4 with Black Magic Intensity Pro and Panasonic AG-HMC74ER europian version.All is working fine but a have a problem when importing an MPG2 files because my Panasonic AG-HMC74ER recording on SD card and with software who come with Panasonic AG-HMC74ER i copy and convert files.I,ts show me unsuported or corupted file and i tray to import on Premiere Pro 2.0 its working fine. Why is so did i miss something or need some plugin for this? Please somebody help to me i need to finish my project and i,m a mad about this problem.

The trial does not support HDV, or any MPEG format for that matter. So you have to use the in-camera downrez to SD function in order to capture in a standard DV project. Whether you shot in 24F is not relevant, your tape was still recording and running at 60 Hz, so choose a 29.97 DV format.

Need Help Fast Re: Problems with capturing in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4

I am working on a project with a deadline. I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. My camera is a Sony Digital Video Recorder DCR-HC26. My computer is a Dell with OS of Windows Vista. I have been capturing numerous clips from hundreds of mini digital video cassettes. Yesterday, I attempted to capture from a Radio Shack Mini DV Metal Evaporated mini DV digital videocassette. For whatever reason it will not capture. I have never used one of these tapes before. Could it be the tape? After I click on "Capture," the screen shows NO PICTURE of sound, however, it plays on the camera. It can't be the camera settings because all the other tapes work. . . Any advice?

you need to post in the correct forum olivia.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 crashes on load with project

When I try to load my CS4 projects the application crashes with the error:
"Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
I have my hard drive partitioned: C drive for my OS; D drive for my data; and I also have an external hard drive which is H. I installed Adobe Premiere on my D drive and saved all the my project files and data on my external drive H. A couple weeks ago I got a virus and I wiped out my C drive. So, I reinstalled Windows XP. After reinstalling XP and getting my machine back up and running I removed Premiere Pro CS4 from my D drive and installed it on my C:drive. I connected my external drive to my computer and Windows assigned the drive letter F to my external. I launched my project file and it said it could not find my data and it crashed with the above message. I opened my project file in a text editor and I saw that file path was H:\... for all my data so I reassigned the drive back to H hoping that was the reason for the crash. Much to my chagrin it was not as I try opening the project file now and it finds all the files but it still crashes. I'm all out of ideas at this point. Is there a log file that I can look at to try to troubleshoot this any further? Has anyone seen this happen before? Should I reinstall Adobe Premiere Pro? I am under a time crunch here as I need to open this project and make some edits.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

Jeff,
The Page File is MS Windows' "virtual memory." It gets activity, when physical RAM is not available. Especially with video editing, this happens a lot. It can be set via Control>Panel>System. Windows can either dynamically create and size the file, as is necessary, or it can be set to provide the necessary size statically - always the same, and is *usually* set to ~ 2.5x the physical RAM.
With one physical HDD, that is partitioned, you have about 4-5 operations going on at the same time, and your I/O system is basically telling the heads of your HDD to be in different places/platters at this same time. Unfortunately, this is impossible, and one gets system hangs, sluggish performance, crashes or worse.
There are several good threads on suggested HDD setups for NLE work on this forum. I'd step back a level, so you get all Premiere forums, and search for some of these articles. There are a lot of worthwhile suggestions for number, type, connection and configuration of HDD's.
Good luck,
Hunt

Media Pending with Adobe Premiere Pro CS4

First of all guys, I know this is not a brand new issue but please help me out as am providing details. Thank you.
I have JVC Everio jvc everio gz-hd5 60GB camcorder. As you probably know that it records file into .TOD format, I converted them into .MPG format. This is how I am importing to Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 before it's showing me golden little screen displaying PENDING MEDIA forever.
1. Import -> new project
2. Capture format -> HDV
3. Available Preset -> HDV108030p
Operating system detail
Microsoft XP Pro Version 2002 Service pack 3
2.19 GHZ, 1.99GB RAM, Intel core 2 duo CPU
p.s - I read some forums but the way they explained is too confusing.

I dont think I have enough info about your computers and hard drives and so on to tell if you can really edit HD stuff , but at this point you should really convert the TOD file first anyway. I don't think just renaming the extension will make it work OK, but I found some info on the internet that might help you convert to a more editor friendly format...
Standard definition video is stored in MPEG program stream container files with MOD extension; in most other systems these files have extension MPG or MPEG. High definition video is stored in MPEG transport stream container files with TOD extension; in most other systems these files have M2T extension.[2] Transport stream files can be converted into more common program stream files without recompressing the video itself. For example, FFmpeg, a free software program, performs the conversion on Windows and Linux systems with the following command: ffmpeg -i myclip.TOD -acodec copy -vcodec copy myclip.mpg. Software, included with TOD camcorders, performs this conversion as part of capture process. A similar command is used for MOD files: ffmpeg -i myClip.MOD -vcodec copy -acodec ac3 -ab 384k myClip.mpg -acodec mp2 -ab 192k -newaudio.
You Gspot screenshot is good, and it shows that it doesn't recognize anything about the codec and codec name..the right side of the GSpot is usually full of information about the video file...like the frame size, FPS , aspect ratio, and so on. As you can see from the above paragraph you would probably benefit from converting the TOD file using FFmpeg or some other program like streamclip ( also free program )
That's your first step I think...
You will have to know what your video file is...from the camera manual you can find out the frame size and fps used, whether it is progressive or interlaced, etc... The reason you will need to know about your video file is because when you open the TOD file in a program like streamclip to convert it, you will want to convert it to basically the same specs, but with as a different "codec" and file type....but keep the same video characteristics as the original.
