Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 with Blackmagic Multibridge Pro

After having upgraded to Premiere CS5 and Blackmagic 7.6.4, I am experiencing a short list of undesirable video playback results (that were not present in CS4 with Blackmagic 7.6). The issues are likely specific to Blackmagic with Premiere, so I'll spare everyone the details for now -- If anyone out there is using a similarly equipped system, please chime in--I'd like to run some of this past you, see if you're having the same issues and troubleshoot either way. Thanks!

In the time since my original post, both Adobe and Blackmagic have released several updates, resolving most of the issues which led me to start this thread. Still, there are always quirks and curiosities specific to each editing system and its unique configuration, so I'll just bump this thread with an open invitation to anyone--with problems, questions, kudos or curiosities--regarding the use of Adobe Premiere Pro software with Blackmagic Design hardware.

Anti-aliasing with CS5 and Blackmagic Multibridge Pro

To anyone else using a Blackmagic Multibridge Pro card:
I am experiencing bad aliasing on scaled video in a Blackmagic Adobe Premiere timeline.
With Adobe Premiere's GPU acceleration turned on, scaled video looks great, but the GPU setting introuces too many other bugs to be reliable (unpredictable cross dissolves, alpha channel misinterpretation, etc.).
When I turn GPU acceleration off, cross dissolves and titles act as they should, but scaled and time-altered video looks quite bad.
I'm working in Blackmagic native timelines (pick any--it's the same for all) and have Adobe Premiere's Preview File Format set to "Uncompressed 10-bit YUV" with "Maximum Bit Depth" and "Maximum Render Quality" checked... but the effected video still looks aliased. Anyone else out there with this configuration having the same issue?
Best,
James

Thanks for the heads-up on Adobe's update, Todd. I have installed 5.0.3 and it has solved many of the undesirable GPU-related issues. I am now satisfied with the way GPU acceleration handles cross dissolves and alpha channels. I feel like I'm now moving in the right direction, working with GPU-acceleration enabled for all projects.
That said, and in confirmation of my previous post, the only remaining issue seems to lie with how Blacmagic-native timelines interpret renders and preview files differently between a project with GPU acceleration enabled versus disabled. Take, for example my previous list of renders from a Blackmagic-native timeline...
Render 1: Mercury Playback Engine Software Only + "use previews" checked
Render 2: Mercury Playback Engine Software Only + "use previews" unchecked
Render 3: Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration + "use previews" checked
Render 4: Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration + "use previews" unchecked
With the 5.0.3 update, renders 3 and 4 are still the same as each other (no change here), but now all transitions and alpha composites look as expected (fixed!). Next up, renders 1 and 2 are now also the same as each other (fixed! A predictable result, unlike in v5.0.2). The video is still aliased as before--but the fact that these two renders are now the same helps pinpoint the aliasing issue to Blackmagic's handling of GPU disabled renders.
In short, the Adobe Premiere update 5.0.3 addresses and corrects all known GPU-related rendering issues within Premiere-native timelines. And, because of this, any distinction seen between "GPU Acceleration" and "Software Only" renders from a Blackmagic-native timeline have been reduced to a mere curiosity.
My thanks to Adobe and everyone who posted here to help solve such a convoluted issue!
Best,
James

Adobe Premiere CC 2014, regularly licensed (Mac Pro early 2008, Mac OSX 10.9.4).Adobe Premiere CC 2014, media offline, not playing, unusable.

Adobe Premiere CC 2014, regularly licensed (Mac Pro early 2008, Mac OSX 10.9.5, Graphic Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB).
Hi guys,
since the CC2014 version of Premiere has been released (on Creative Cloud) I'm experiencing - really often - the MEDIA PENDING (yellow background) issue... even if the clip can be found right clicking and selecting "reveal in finder" or "reveal in project", in the timeline the clip can't be played. Not to mention the many many problems the app is causing stopping working suddenly and obligating me to restart the system to have it regularly working again (usually it stops reproducing the video, only the audio stays alive, but the playhead seems freezes there where I left it).
One more problem: all the app (and customized) keyboard shortcuts are gone. Totally disappeared (this happened just after the last update, CC v8.1 Caravan. Synching from CC was unsuccessful.
Please don't suggest me to contact the adobe italian service to have an help... the last time (almost the same problem) they just made me lose time with some basic procedure checks that I knew were not leading me anywhere.
I ask sorry for my polemic tone, it's a few months that Adobe Premiere is not working anymore as before. And you can't immagine how many hours I've lost.
Thank you very much,
My best regards,
Stefano Bianchi.

Also, a 512 MB VRAM GPU is really underpowered
Guys, would you suggest me a new graphic card (in case, which model on this Mac - would be great a 4 or 6 MB VRAM GPU) or a new Mac Pro? This is still a great machine, but it's starting becoming unusable due to this Premiere issue (that is day by day more severe).
Thanks a lot for any suggestion,
Stefano.

Can Adobe Premiere run on 2013 Mac Book Pro (thunderbolt port) and display on 2010 iMac (Mini DisplayPort) using TDM. TB cable Opt. F2 didn't work. Will a Mini Display cable work?

I need to work on Adobe Premiere on my 2013 Mac Book Pro (with thunderbolt port) and display it on my 2010 iMac (with Mini DisplayPort) using Target Display Mode (TDM). I tried using a thunderbolt cable plus Option F2, but it didn't work. Will a Mini Display cable work? Any other suggestions?

2010 iMacs do not have Thunderbolt, they have mini-display ports. You are using the wrong connection, you need a mini display port to mini display port. Please read up on what Apple says in Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Blackmagic Multibridge Pro

Has anyone had luck with the Multibridge Pro and external monitoring with Color? I am upgrading from AJA Io and have a 36" LCD w/ HDMI and I'm hoping that buying the Multibridge Pro with HDMI out will allow me to color correct on the LCD from Color.

We have both a Kona LHe and Multibridge Pro, and as far as I know the MB is not qualified to work with Color - the IO demands are such that it needs an onboard card - either Decklink or Kona, with most people favouring the AJA card (but my Blackmagic service experience has been good).
If I get a chance I'll try it for you - they're a great box if you get one that works for more than a week!
LCD colour correction - ooh! Depends what you're using it for of course... broadcast? Has to be REALLY carefully set up, with LUTs and all...

Hi! After Effects CC 2014 do not work with Blackmagic Intensity Pro.

After Effects CC, Premiere Pro CC 2014, Photoshop CC 2014 work correct with Blackmagic Intensity Pro.

Uninstall the Blackmagic drivers and install the latest version.
If that doesn't help, make sure you are using a comp size that matches a frame format supported by the Blackmagic card.
Rather than repeat myself, here are other threads where I've replied about similar issues. Please read through them.

Will adobe after affects work with final cut pro x

Will adobe after affects work with final cut pro x?

You can't work with the files natively, if that's what you mean - you can't drop a .aep file into FCP X, or vice-versa. You can do this to some extent using Premiere Pro and After Effects, but only if you get them together in the Production Premium collection.
Like Tom said, though, you can prep stuff in either direction and work with both applications without a problem.

Hello, I have purchased Adobe Design Premium CS5 with Acrobat Professional 9.0 with Win License in 2010. Same computer, doesn't work any more?

Hello, I have purchased Adobe Design Premium CS5 with Acrobat Professional 9.0 with Win License in 2010. Last month, the software is deactivated and asked me to reinstall it, however, the serial number I have doesn't work anymore. The computer is still the same, operation system is also the same. Something must be wrong with ADOBE. Can you help to resolve? Or direct me to a right person and number? Thanks!

I tried, the Design CS5 worked that way, but not the acrobat pro. 9.0. I will update with what I was suggested to download again from Adobe volume licensing site. Since my computer is at my work. This is the site I was referred to: Adobe Licensing Website | Serial numbers | Orders | Accounts

Adobe Premiere Elements 10 with Photoshop Elements 9

Is it possible to use both Adobe Premiere Elements 10 with Adobe Photoshop Elements 9?
I don't want to upgrade Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 because has not enought new functions but need new Premiere with Organizer.
Does Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 will work correctly with Organizer of Premiere 10?

Hi,
It is possible to use both of them, seperately though. If you wish to do use some interoperable feature, that wont be possible, since, as Steve said, they both use thier respective organizer.

Can I use Adobe Premiere and Photoshop (with cloud license) on more thn one computer.

Can I use Adobe Premiere and Photoshop (with cloud license) on more than one computer? WHen on the oroad I would like to use it n my laptop, while I installed on the desktop.

Hi Kasiah,
As per the EULA accepted while you launch Adobe applications you can download & install on 2 systems but can use on one at the same time.

I had purchased Adobe Premiere Elements along with Adobe Photoshop Elements for my MacBook Air

I had purchased Adobe Premiere Elements along with Adobe Photoshop Elements for my MacBook Air OSX Mavericks. Due lack of space I had to reiinstall OSX and could not retirieve from Seagate Back-up drive software in workable condition. Options please?

All you should have to do is to go to the Adobe web site http://www.adobe.com.
Sign in with your Adobe ID and Password.
Then go the web page's Search field and type in "My Orders".
Follow the "My Orders" link to your orders, find the order corresponding to the version in question.
There should be an opportunity there to download a new set of installation files.
Do you have your purchased serial number? If not, I am not sure if it will be included in the "My Orders"
area. But, it should be in the "My Products" which you can access from the Search field. Click on the
name of your product in "My Products", and the serial number should be revealed.
Please let us know the outcome.
Thank you.
