Can Premiere Pro 5.5 be that much faster?

I have two identical PCs, purchased and set up at the same time. I'm running Premiere Pro 5.0 on one and Premiere Pro 5.5 on the other. The software preference settings are identical. The newer version smokes the older one for speed. It renders and outputs files in about a fifth of the time. I can't figure why there's so much difference. Can the newer version be that much faster?

Premiere pro CS5 has a smaller list of supported GPU's that enhance the playback and render performance.
On the other hand PRemiere pro CS5.5 has new graphic cards added to the list.
And thats the reason for knowing the computer specifications because if GPU in your computer is supported in CS5.5 but not in CS5 there would be a difference in the performance.
Any ways we would expect Premiere Pro cs5.5 to be faster, certain performance upgrades(software coding) that Adobe might have done(CONFIDENTIAL) since is is meant to supersede Premiere Pro CS5.

  • Can Premiere Pro CS4 import H.264 quicktimes?

    Can Premiere Pro CS4 import H.264 quicktimes?

    If the QT's are pure H.264, and you have that installed, then there should not be an issue.
    Some camera mfgrs., and others, like to tweak H.264, so there is no all encompassing answer.
    If you are having issues with a QT file, that seems to be H.264, you might want to look closely at the full specs. in MediaInfo, just to be sure that all settings match what they should.
    Where did these files come from? That might tell the tale.
    Good luck,

  • Can Premiere Pro resume when computer sleeps in middle of rendering?

    My computer
    core i7
    64 bit
    1.6 CPU (boosts up to 2.5)
    6 gigs ram
    My footage
    source: 1920x1080
    Output: 720x480
    Time of footage 54 min
    File Size 2.5 gigs
    Render time
    When I had it set to Qualtiy 5.0, Bitrate 5 -7, VBR 2 pass, and checked Max. Render quality, Use Previews(which doesn't matter cause I have no previews associated),  My render time was seriously 36 hours!  I know scaling down adds to the time, but wow it is long. And no I have no special effects on the footage, just some zooming in and out and audio fades. Well I tried to do render it, but it is a laptop and I have to take it home to do work and traveling. Well, eventually I messed up and the laptop went to sleep.
    Can Premiere pro continue to render after it has gone to sleep?
    It did not seem to. The timer just sat there going up every second. So I stopped it and tried again. I lowered the settings to get only a 24 hours render time, but this morning I messed up and my laptop was running on battery power and it went to sleep. On resume, it had the same result, it seemed to stop progressing and just had the timer continue to tick up. Should I have been patient and waited another 4 hours to see if it actually resumed?
    Since I use a laptop and such large render times. I want Premiere Pro to have a PAUSE ability  on rendering! Even if I need  to do a full shutdown. Is that even possible?

    I just remembered something. The reason why it was 36 hours is my raw footage was on an external 3.0 USB drive rendering the footage to my internal harddrive. So.. I moved my raw footage over to my internal harddrive and that reduced render time drastically. I have already read up on some articles how people have their cache on one drive, footage on another, and render to another or something like that so that harddrives are not have to read and write to the same drive to slow things. But... If my external drives get unplugged from my laptop during transit rendering obviously stops. But regardless, it doesn't matter I noticed a dramatic decrease in render time when moving everything to just one drive.

  • Can Premiere Pro CC work with mpeg files?

    I tried to work with *.mpeg files, but can import them into a project.
    Can Premiere Pro CC impoert and export mpeg (1, 2)  files?

    Lucky ...
    As shooternz says, yes ... although if you are new, you may not realize that when you start a project, you have to manually "create a sequence" first, THEN you can add clips to the sequence. Until you have a sequence on the timeline, simply dragging & dropping from either the source monitor or project/browser panel to the timeline area will not work. Nor trying add a clip to the timeline either by the properties panel (after right-clicking on a clip) or the top menus.
    Create a new sequence on the timeline, then ... you can drag & drop from either the source or project/browser panels, right-clicking on footage and using the property menus, all now works.
    Steps to create a new sequence ... "ctrl(cmd) - N" with keyboard to create a new sequence, or in project/media browser panel ... right-click and choose "new -> sequence", or in that panel click on the piece of paper with a folded-corner icon (lower right corner) then choose "new->sequence" or of course, "File->new->sequence" from the main menu bar.

  • Mac Pro 2013 and Premiere Pro - The performance issue that Adobe don't want us talking about!

    In May 2014 I bought a 2013 Mac Pro to help my business with the ever increasing demands video editing was placing on our systems.  I was so excited to see how the 12GB of power the AMD D700s would affect my workflow and ability to edit footage seamlessly without delays to the creative process.
    However, to my dismay pretty much since starting to work with the system I found that there was an issue with the GPUs, Mac OS and Adobe’s applications.  It was first reported by many other users in early 2014 and as yet know one from Adobe has really commented officially on the issue.
    Sadly it appears to still be present today and speaking with an Adobe rep confirmed this.  Trouble is no one is doing anything about it.  My hope is that, if you have watched this video and are experiencing the same issues then please let’s get the comments going, share and like the video and let’s get Adobe, Apple and AMD to pick up this with immediate haste! Thank you.
    Below is a video of the problem I have been experiencing.  It's a little long but I wanted to give a good account of the problem we are seeing so that someone can help! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE help!
    Mac Pro 2013 and Premiere Pro GPU Issue - YouTube
    Thank you for your time and I'd love someone to help!

    Thanks for responding!  It's such a pain and I have been chatting to one of Adobe's senior consultants about this and still none the wiser.  I have sent my machine off to the retailer as it was still under warranty.  Nothing wrong with GPU apparently which is a relief although I kinda wish it had been that as it would have been an easier fix.  Adobe told me that working with H.264 is totally possible but if you have a complex sequence with multicam and nested video with effects applied then it will seriously hinder performance.  Sadly transcoding to ProRes doesn't seem to help either and they suggested not adding any effects to the nested clips, flattening out the multi cams etc and this has improved things a bit.  Sent a sequence to SpeedGrade the other day though and the machine had a fit.  FCPX though seems to be working great and has a few advantages over Premiere so I may be making a switch for this type of work until Adobe can sort out this issue.  I still feel that the application isn't fully making the most of the GPUs.  In fact, I found out that multicam is actually all still on the CPU and that they are trying to implement GPU handling of multicam soon.

  • Can Premiere Pro 2.0 open projects saved in CS4?

    Hello!
    I'm trying to find out how or if it is possible to open a CS4 project in Premiere pro 2.0.
    I did a search online and could not come up with anything definite. I know that CS4 can open 2.0 files,
    but the other way around has not been clarified. Our student project received footage from FCP, and then another student worked
    on it in CS4 (because of the new import feature) and now I need to open it in 2.0 because that is all we have.
    Is this possible? If not, how would I get the FCP footage into premiere 2.0?
    Thanks!
    -Jon

    I appreciate your reply, only you didn't need to spend so much time writing out your explanation in such detail!
    All kidding aside, if it can't be done how I described, how can it be done?
    Why can't I open a CS4 project in 2.0? Additionally, what kind of work around is there? (like an EDL list and exporting the footage as AAF or something??)
    I have a hard time believing that there is no one else who needs to get FCP projects into 2.0. Especially since one of the
    students can get to it in CS4. I know it was a pain before CS4, but now with CS4 it shouldn't be a problem. Is this intentionally crippled
    so as to encourage upgrades to CS4?
    Anyways, if someone could describe a workflow that does NOT involve buying a mac and FCP, or upgrading to CS4 (I would literally have to upgrade
    my computer too, so no thanks), I would be much obliged!!
    Thanks
    -Jon

  • Premiere Pro on Mac, just how much would I be missing

    I've decided to switch to the new iMac from my old pc that I've been using for years. As a student I have only enough for 21.5 inch at $1199 without configuration. With Final Cut out of the picture I've decided to use Premiere Pro and buying Production Premium. I haven't bought the iMac yet and having heard that Windows have better support then Mac platform. I'm having doubts whether Mac platform is worth it especially if I'm using it just for what's in Production Premium.
    Effects and transitions missing, fine aslong as there are superior and similar features in place. But otherwise what am I missing?
    Mercury playback engine, CUDA what's the deal with my iMac and AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 512MB
    (sorry if I sound like a total idiot, I'm new to all this)
    Other missing features, differences between Mac and Windows with Premiere Pro and After Effects
    Should I stick to PC are there comparables to the $1199 iMac?
    Appreciate any answers... I am totally clueless as you might be able to tell.

    In your case, stick with PC. An iMac has absolutely no internal expansion capability whatsoever besides the RAM. And as of the newest series, Apple has messed with the BIOS to now only allow Apple OEM hard drives to be used internally. An aftermarket internal hard drive will not work at all with the current iMacs. That leaves you with only the four USB 2.0 ports, one Firewire 800 port and one Thunderbolt port for external device expansion. There are no eSATA or USB 3.0 ports at all whatsoever on any iMac. And because Thunderbolt external hard drives are extremely rare (if they even exist at all), you're stuck with USB 2.0 (molasses-slow) and FW800 (still slower than SATA/eSATA) for any hard drives. What's more, the $1199 iMac comes only with an i5-2400S CPU, which is a gimped version of the i5-2400 that sacrifices stock clock speed in favor of lower power consumption: The stock, non-turbo speed is only 2.5GHz versus the 3.1GHz stock speed of the normal i5-2400 (in fact, the stock non-Turbo speed of the i5-2400S is slower than even the 2.8GHz i5-2300).
    And that's not to mention that you can configure a PC with a faster CPU (i7-2600K), a far superior GPU (GeForce GTX 550 Ti), much more RAM (16GB, versus only 4GB in the $1199 iMac) and three 1TB 7,200 rpm internal hard drives (versus only a single 500GB hard drive in the iMac) for only about $200 USD more (including a large case, a high-quality 750W+ PSU and a Blu-ray burner) than the iMac (which, by the way, is essentially just a midrange-level MBP inside a much bigger package). And due to the poor multithreading performance of OSX, the $1199 iMac would be more than five or six times slower than the $1400 PC build I mentioned at the beginning of this paragraph even if the CPU in the PC build is left at stock speed (in fact, the base-model iMac would have been slower in performance in Premiere Pro than most of the old Core 2 Quad systems and even some of the i3 and Core 2 Duo systems).

  • Can Premiere Pro smart render footage from a Canon 5D mark III ?

    I already read that Premiere Pro can smart render certain codecs. But I want to know exactly: Can it smart render the video from a Canon 5D mark III?
    In case smart render is not very specific: I'm asking if it can export the footage after cutting without rencoding it by just saving the individual frames into a new video container with the same codec. This should increase export time alot.
    I'm asking because I have Premiere Elements and this feature would be the only reason for me to switch to Pro. I currently need 40 Minutes to render 10 Minutes. As a journalist I need to be faster.

    Do you have any other tips how to boost export speed? I don't need the video to be small. I only do a raw edit where I cut out the junk. Quality loss should be minimal and speed ist most important.
    Its hard to know if your export speed is normal or otherwise without some detail from you for comparison.
    Hardware, system, OS and current export settings and times etc..
    Generally the system and set up will determine the speed and editing experience.
    5D footage should be no problem at all to a decent system ( and setup)
    If you do a test export for us...tell us how long the export takes for how much footage .  eg 1 minute footage = X export time.
    No Effects.

  • Can Premiere Pro 1.5 accept footage from DVCPRO 50 tape?

    I'm trying to figure out whether Premiere Pro 1.5 can import footage shot on DVCPRO 50 (that's physical tape, not P2 card) natively?  Or would I have to go an analog-digital route?   

    >DVCPRO 50 (that's physical tape, not P2 card) natively?  Or would I have to go an analog-digital route?
    If that is analog tape, you will not be able to directly import with PPro... you will need an analog converter
    Such as at http://www.grassvalley.com/products/converters

  • Audio "drifting" to total desync in Premiere Pro and only in that program (not media players)

    Whenever I import a longer clip (entire movie or TV episode) and cut out a scene that isn't in the very beginning, the sound is lagged in an unexpected way. It seems to "drift" over time, so that it fits perfectly in the beginning of the movie, but is horribly out of sync toward the end, and smoothly transitions to this throughout the movie.
    I'm going to spare you the details of how I've cursed violently at this, even destroyed hardware and pulled my hair out of frustration. I've lost so many hours of productivity just trying to manually re-sync every damn clip.
    OS: Windows 8. It was the same thing on Windows 7. All official stable patches. On multiple computers. None of them have any weird/exotic changes whatsoever. In fact, they are very clean and well maintained. This has happened in both CS 6 and CC of Premiere Pro.
    Short clips seem to always work. It COULD have something to do with the .avi format specifically, but I don't know.
    Very important: The clips that "audio drift" in Premiere Pro work flawlessly in all my media players. I can watch them perfectly in Media Player Classic, VLC, etc. Only when inside Pr, either as preview or as an exported file, do they have desynced audio in this manner. It's 100% verified that this only happens in Pr. In fact, even Windows Live Movie Maker seems to not be affected by this "drift".
    Please help.

    >entire movie or TV episode
    That would SEEM to indicate you are not editing video from a camera, but from some kind of screen capture or a "rip" of a source file... and playing is not at ALL like editing
    >something to do with the .avi format
    AVI is a wrapper, what is inside YOUR wrapper - Exactly what is INSIDE the video you are editing?
    Codec & Format information, with 2 links inside for you to read http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1270588

  • Can Premiere Pro CS5 save in format readable in 32-bit CS4?

    I work on machines in various locations and laboratories and carry all of my output around in a portable HD.  Some of the systems I work with have CS5, and some have CS4.  Is there any way to have Premiere-Pro CS5 save a .prproj file in a format that can later be edited in CS4?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Can Premiere Pro CS6 be shut down when Encore CS6 has the project to save memory?

    Pretty much the title says it all.  I am curious if it helps the computer to shut down, close, exit Premiere Pro CS6 when you have dynamically linked Encore CS6 with it?  I am trying to give as much RAM as possible to Encore during my heavy renderings and if PP did not need to be on then there is a better chance the computer will not crash (or so I believe).
    I have 16gb RAM and my projects are about 80gb in HD being transcoded to 8.4gb SD for DL DVD burns.
    Thanks!

    Maybe, yes, and no.
    Maybe it will help, but probably not.
    Yes, you can close Premiere.
    But, dynamic link keeps an instance of pproheadless (whatever it's called) running; perhaps one for each sequence. So no, you don't save what you might think.
    Take a look at Encore Edit -> Preferences -> Memory to see how much you reserved for other processes, and therefore how much Adobe has for EN and PR (assuming other adobe apps are closed).

  • Can Premiere Pro CC(2014) files be opened in old PP-CC?

    The college where I teach is not upgrading to CC (2014) just yet.
    If I upgrade my own Premiere Pro app to the (2014) version, will I be able to exchange files back and forth between them? Or would it be a one-way trip into 2014 with no return to CC?
    Or, are they interchangeable, but with a few hitches I should be aware of?
    Thanks,
    Roger Spendlove

    Thank you all for the helpful answers -- just what I needed to know. I think I'll still refrain from updating to (2014), as I'm certain at some point to accidentally save a file in (2014) and then be unable to open it at the school--disaster in front of a live audience of students! Also, I don't want to get used to features and interface nuances that don't quite match what I'm demonstrating on the school's computers.
    I believe the college will be updating  probably next quarter (or the one after). It's complicated, as Adobe's deal with them for delivering installer packages is a bit convoluted. But I'm sure they'll update eventually. And then I will, too.
    Thanks again for the help!
