Adobe Premiere CS3 not activating

Have a copy of Adobe Premiere CS3 which I bought years ago. Had it running on an old laptop but want to install it on a more recent one and for some reason it refuses to activate. My internet connection is fine so no idea why it is not activating.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I enter my serial number in the section reading 'I have entered my serial number and want to activate now.' Then I click next and choose to activate now using the internet. I get a green loading bar that runs for a few minutes and then just get a message saying: Activation - no connection.
Simple as that; just several options for other types of activation (internet is only suitable one for me) as well as a note about HTTPS not working behind some firewalls and looking into proxy settings. I don't believe this to be the problem however.
My internet is working fine but the product won't activate for some reason...

Adobe Premiere CS3 not accepting video files and out of synch

Hi everyone,
Just a quick summary of the project I'm working on:
Approx 26 hours of HD footage captured from Canon XH-A1. My system specs are:
- Intel Quad Core Q6600 2.4Ghz CPU
- 2Gb RAM
- 4 X 500gb SATA 2 Drives
- At least 60 GIGS of head room on each drive
- Windows XP
Anyways, onto the PROBLEM:
I downloaded the CS3 UPDATES the other day to find that all my video files had to be re-indexed and after this had been done my TIMELINES had all been adjusted and altered (sometimes only a second or two off, sometimes more), so basically my entire project was out of whack. I googled this and found that I was not the only person experiencing the problem.
Since my project has taken me 9 months so far to complete this is a huge deal.
I saved my project plus I had a backup copy from before I did the updates, and I then uninstalled CS3 and then re-installed it WITHOUT the latest updates.
I thought this would fix the problem but I was WRONG!!!
I loaded up the project and it asked me to locate the video files - I directed the program to them and then this error message popped up:
"The selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match the original file's type (audio and video)"
I pressed Cancel and entered the project, where all my video files were now OFFLINE.
I then found that by linking a video file 1 at a time (or as most as 6 at once) the error message would not pop up (???) and it could link up to the video files.
BUT the problems continued because I found that most if not all of the video files were now OUT OF SYNC and hence unusable. The original files of course are NOT out of sync so this is a program error.
I have done various trouble shooting strategies to locate the cause of the error to no avail.
If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated, my project os of immense importance to me.
Regards,
Jeremy.

Ok, I installed the first update so I have version 3.1 which WAS working fine, but when I tried to load up the project and link the video files this message keeps popping up:
[..\..\Src\Win\WinPathUtils.ccp-553]
Also, no, my project is not 24P, it is 25P 50i.

Adobe Premiere CS3 will not open!

Adobe premiere CS3 will not open. When I click on the Adobe icon on my desktop, I get this message: This application has failed to start because prm.dll was not found. I've tried several things such as: uninstalling the program then reinstalliing it. I tried to open Adobe by clicking on one of my projects by opening MY Computer from start on the taskbar, then click on c drive, etc. but it will not open. Before I started getting the error message stated above, when I clicked on the icon, the program would load to the point of showing the top portion of the page (file, edit, etc.) then stop. It would never fully load. HELP!!!!! I'm in the middle of trying to meet several deadlines.

First, search your system for every instance of prm.dll. See if you have one (could be corrupt, but a Repair Install should have repaired it) in your PrPro CS3 folder hierarchy. Do you have any more? How do the dates and sizes compare to the one, if there is one, in PrPro? Here is a LINK to a .dll site. I do not know this site, so cannot even comment on their .dll's. I'd do the first suggestion, well - first.
Also, I do not know this .dll. It could be a VST from an Audio editing program, or similar. Some of these have been known to bring PrPro to its knees, at launch. Might be worthwhile to check into it a bit more.
Also, take a look at Event Viewer. This ARTICLE will give you some tips on what to look for. Could be more happening, than the error message might lead one to believe.
Good luck,
Hunt

Adobe premiere cs3 and youtube

Hi Everyone,
Please give me some input on how I can use adobe premiere cs3 to create videos for youtube.... specifically... the videos that I will be working on will contain all of the same basic elements...
1. Still Images and Clip art only... no moving video... I want help with uploading the stills/clip art and also with timing who long each still with stay up individually....
2. Speech bubbles (the kind used in comic strips) timed to pop in above above the heads of those people or characters in the stills and clip art... I want help with timing when the bubbles come in and with creating them and saving them so that in future videos i won't have to create them again...
3. Voice over parts done by me to read the parts in the bubbles timed for comic effect... I want help with steps on how to do this...
4. Music added throughout the video just below my voice overs... same as above...
All of my videos will contain these elements... and I want to find an efficient way to set up adobe premiere the first time so that every time I go in to do my youtube videos in the future it will be just a matter of uploading the stills setting a time duration each still and the speach bubbles... reading the voice over, adding the music and then uploading it to youtube... I am new to the software and would appreciate any steps that could be give to help me accomplish these four goals...
Thanks,
John

the music you liked was made by chris duncan (who comes to forums but has been busy so hasnt been around lately ).. called " when goblins frolick " ...perfect title for the music.
probably should move this discussion to the lounge area cause it sorta has to do with learning some aspects of programs in general and certain techniques etc.. not really about cs3 and youtube per se...
but anyway..moderators will do that if they want to...
it is a little difficult at first to use photoshop to do what you want, and to use masks in cs3 or just fade graphics in and out and make them appear when wanted..move around etc...and also text issues ( sizes that show up OK on screen are usually pretty large ( pt ). But you'll find when you get past the initial learning part it will open up all sorts of very cool opportunity.. and freedom to do what you imagine...
AE is also used for animation stuff but I dont use AE myself...
if you search for animation tutorials using text baloons you may find some good one that walks you through the process...and maybe even you can find samples of things to download and experiment with on your computer.
my advice is to go ahead and learn what you can and do your own graphics etc .. cause that will open up all kinds of cool things for you to do .. not only in animation things but other things too ...
good luck !
local library might have a good book on animation stuff using adobe products ( versions you have).. can usually search local libraries with computer at home...

Were can I download a trial for adobe premiere cs3?

I've looked all over the internet for a trial of adobe premiere cs3, but the only thing I can find is a bunch of links leading to the adobe website which only has adobe premiere cs5 avail able, but I can download that because my computer is only 32 bit. Does anyone know a secure website were I can get it downloaded?

Since I have never used a trial I can't help with this one
I did see mention of a company with an archive link... could have been prodesign, but not 100% sure
A forum search for
cs4 trial
or
cs4 trial prodesign
might give some results... but that is cs4, not cs3... so going 2 versions back may not have any results

Capturing HDV using Adobe Premiere CS3 - more than 20 minutes of video

Hello,
I'm facing a weird situation with Adobe premiere CS3, I use a canon XH-A1 video camera to capture video & recently started using adobe premiere for editing, the issue is if I start to capture HD video for more than 20 minutes, adobe is not able to capture the video (shows a red screen), but it works fine, if I capture upto 20 minutes of video.
I have in the past had to break down a single tape into 3 halves, to successfully capture the video, this is NOT the ideal way, as I have to babysit the video capture, to limit the capture to 20 minutes & restart it.
Has anyone faced this error? Any advice/pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Kalyan.

Could the reason be that you are capturing to an FAT32 format hard drive and it is only allowing you a limited maximum file size? Not sure but I think it is 4GB which would equate to 1/3 of a DV 13GB hour ...or about 20 minutes.
If that is correct, and you should be able to tell because the capture window will display the file size limit as space available during capture, you could do one of two things:
* reformat the drive as NTFS which removes the file size limitation (I have just done this on an external drive for exactly the same reason), but do look up online instructions for this and do it carefully.
* if the material is not long continuous shots of over 20 minutes, switch on Scene Detect during capture; it's wise to cut material up into smaller chunks in any case as huge files become very unwieldy and handling them could slow your machine right down.

Adobe Premiere CS3 Keeps Shortening My Video Duration?!!?!?!?!!??!

Okay, so I'm doing a school project and adobe premiere cs3 isn't letting me show my whole videos. I have about 8 Videos that is about 6 to 10 seconds long. There is one video that is 8 seconds long but it cut it short to 6.07 seconds long. There's another video which the audio is completely off and another Video that was doing perfectly fine but then soon after, it was limited to like 7 seconds from 10 seconds. This isn't cool lol. Do I need to do something to my videos to make it not do this? My project is due on this Friday :C

(A) Make sure your Work Area Bar or your (B) In /Out Points cover what you want to export..then check which of those options to use in the Media encoder.

Adobe Acrobat XI: Error Adobe Acrobat is not activated. Cannot create PDF File.

After installing Acrobat XI Pro on Windows 7 Ent. w/Office 2010.
From MS Word, select Save as PDF, I recieve "Adobe Acrobat is not activated. Cannot create PDF file."
Any and all troubleshooting has failed.
Uninstall Acrobat, language packs, re-install, install updates, Install on fresh image.

kglad your link refers to Windows XP. As to the rest it is questionable. First of all it would be nice to know the cause, before fixing the problem. For in some cases eliminating the cause will solve problems later on. So, in my case for ex. The problem did not exist until I protected my Word 2010 document and then saved it to PDF--which it would not allow to do so and giving the error message stated above.

Hello, Kelzb,
Premiere Elements has its own forum, which is here:

and you'll probably get better, faster replies to video questions there. Good luck!

Here is a link to an Adobe TechNote about the same issue with an earlier (much earlier!) version of Premiere Elements and Windows XP.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/324/324938.html
I'll leave it to Steve and Bill as to whether the fix offered in the link for Premiere Elements 2 would still be applicable to your version of Premiere Elements.
Hope this is of some assistance.

Adobe Premiere CS3- CS6

I buy an update version of Adobe Premiere CS3->CS6. Can i install on a PC with Adobe Creative Suite CS3 ? Can i install this version on a PC without CS3 ? Thanks.

Yes you can. You only need the serial number of CS3 during the installation process.

I don't have any experience about that. But as fas as I have heard you can install both versions.

Capture(or import) from Sony DCR-SR75E to Adobe Premiere CS3

Hello,
I have an Adobe Premiere CS3 installed in my mac.
I have used it with my Sony Fx-1 perfectly.
I purchased an new sony dcr-sr75e handycam and have problem capturing or importing.
When I connect the camera to the computer, I don't open capture, and when I try to import the mpg files, I only get the video of the files and I don't get the audio, and the video is imported very low quality. Can you please help me?
Thanks in advance,
Levent

Copy the files from the camera to your PC then import them into Pro. Pro only captures through firewire.
If the audio contains ac3 copy the ad2ac3dec.dll file from Encore in Program Files and paste this in the root of Pro CS3.
Reimport all files or start a new project.

After the 10.9.3 update my Adobe Premiere does not export properly. Someone HELP!
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
<Edited by Host>

Having the same problem yesterday I spent 2 hours
Contacting tech support Apple and Adobe.
Apple says clearly that it is Adobe responsibility
and Adobe tells to contact Apple...
And none of the companies are telling when and if there will be a fix.
I'm ready to go back to PC where hardware companies
are not trying to boycot software companies. That's my opinion.
I already lost one job because of this.

Adobe Premiere Elements 12- Activating on two computers?

Hello, I have a personal laptop not used for work that runs windows 7. At work, I work on a Windows 8 tower. I am trying to figure out if there is going to be any issues if I purchase Adobe Premiere Elements 12 and install it on both machines. Somewhere it said that you can't run them at the same time? Is this true? Thanks in advance

I just now found the following Adobe document online and it is confirming what I have been telling you
End-user license agreements FAQ
Excerpt from above link
Can I use my software on two computers?
If you own, or are the primary user of, a single-user or volume license Adobe product that is installed on a computer at work, you can also install and use the software on one secondary computer of the same platform at home or on a portable computer. However, you may not run the software simultaneously on both the primary and secondary computers.
No more than one user can use a single-user license Adobe product.
Note: AVL customers have to buy two different licenses to use both operating systems, even if they have two different computers. They can only use the same license on another computer (not simultaneously) with the same platform at home.
For more information regarding Adobe's activation policy, including recent changes, see the Product Activation FAQ.
