Color Finesse for Premiere CS6
Enjoying Color Finesse in AE but would like to use the Premiere version. I have downloaded the program from the website but it requires a serial number to active in Premiere. It is my understanding that this serial number comes with my purchase of CS6 however I cannot find that serial. Am I mistaken? If not where would I locate the serial?
Thanks,
Danny
Thanks for the reply! I am acutally serialized in AE and had been working in CF within it. When I mentioned the downloaded program I was refering to the Pi version that allows you to work right within PP instead of taking each clip out to AE and then back in to PP. I am going to assume that the Pi version does not come with my CS6 purchase.
The video you attached gave mentioned a great idea about importing your entire sequence into AE instead of a clip by clip workflow. GREAT RESOURCE and thank you for pointing that out to me.
One last question, the reason I started thinking about using CF in PP instead of AE is because to dial in skin tone I always like to place a four point garbage matte on my frame and mask out everything except for a bit of skin. This allows me to look on the vectorscope and see precisly what the skin tone is within the frame. As far as I can tell CF does not have this fuction. The only work around I have found is to exit out of CF into AE then Precomp the clip I am working with put a mask around the skin and then go back into CF from the precomped layer to adjust precisly. As you can image this can be time consuming and a bit of a pain. Do you know of a good work around for this? Once again the video you provided made a subtle suggestion about secondary color and adjust the luma range to put only skin tone within your mids and correct accordingly, A good idea and I will be sure to try that out. However, if there is a simple way to mask a frame within CF I would be very intersted in knowing how?
Thanks again.

Audio Settings for Premiere CS6
Hi, I currently run a Mac Pro with a 27 inch Apple Monitor with built in camera. The machine is also running Mountain Lion 10.8.5. Could someone give me some clarification as to why the Audio Settings for Premiere CS6 are the way they are?
Example with a Macbook Pro and an iMac when I plug in a headphone I can get the sounds from Premiere pro as well as something from youtube to the headphones. However in the case of the Mac Pro with the Apple Monitor, when the headphones are plugged in the youtube sounds come through but the Premiere sounds go through the monitor. I'm aware of the audio settings but I suspect this is working by design because of the different audio options the Mac Pro have and there is nothing broken about this.
Please advise.
Thank you.I've always found this a bit annoying.
The intended behaviour is that if you go into Premiere's audio settings, and choose "System Default Input/Output", it should change along with the system (so that the audio comes out wherever YouTube does). In practice, I've found this to be inconsistent in pre-CC versions of Premiere (CC fixes this).
One tip that may be helpful for you in general on a Mac Pro:
1. If you don't already have the volume icon in the menu bar (by the clock), enable that in System Preferences > Sound.
2. Option-click on the icon and you'll get a quick menu of your output options -
Color Finesse for PPro CS5??
CS5 Production Premium comes with a plug in version of Color Finesse, and on my system, I see that it is installed in AE, but I cannot find it in PPro, nor can I find an obvious way to install it to PPro. I don't see any installation options on the CS5 install disks.
Is it no longer available for PPro CS5, or am I missing something??
ThanksI can only have bad experiences with CF
stayed in time, has power but is the most clumsy out there.
many tools, but bad enough flow.
And as plug-in is to be opening shot for shot, I do not like.
if not, to correct a photo you like, you hang premiere ...
better colorist II, to be a plugin does not get any better ... -
Color Finesse 3 & Premier CS6 ?
Hello
i have Production Premium CS6 on my Win 7 x64, i am still new to editing, just learning, but what i noticed is that i have in my AE - Color Finesse 3, but for now AE is too complicated for me and i dont like working in AE as when i import my projects from PP my time line changes to just 1 clip (but same timeline in PP has like 50 small clips usually).... for me its too hard...
So i would like to ask is it possible to work in PP with the same Color Finesse 3 plug in? i kind of really like it, its maybe just my own opinion, but i find it very simple and easy to used compared to other color correction options!
RegardsTheir web site says it can work in PP. Research how.

Need some tips for premiere cs6 video editing
I have recorded professionally in a sound proof room with a microphone mc's, it's really good video quality and the sound quality is perfect too.
I have recorded with 2 different devices at different angles i'm going to remove sound from both video clips and use the recorded mp3 file made in Adobe Audition CS6 (amazing program) I want to have the 2nd angle recording put in the video so it shows the main video then the 2nd in a little box in the top corner, how can i do this?
Also any tips people can suggest for me on Speedgrade CS6 or After effects CS6 that will improve the viewing experience will be very appreciated.
Last thing playback in Premiere and after effects is very slow, no computer faults my laptop is extremely fast but one thing i've had this laptop about 8 months and not updates the graphics card, would it be that or is there a way to fix this? when i try playblack in after effects it says something like '0.9/29 frames (not real time), i downloaded quicktime i thought this was real time?

QuickJog 1.0 - Shuttle/Jog Replacement for Premiere CS6... almost
quickJog 1.0 - "fixing what Adobe broke in CS6"
a shuttle/jog replacement for Premiere/Prelude CS6
* see below for download links and instructions *
Introduction
I'll waste no time in expressing my opinion on this one: I loved the jog control in previous versions of Premiere, and a small part of my heart died when I realised that those beloved controls couldn't be reinstated in CS6 (though an ever larger chunk died when I realised that Q and W don't work by default in Prelude... ).
JKL is great as a concept, but in practice, not very responsive - it's difficult to make precise jumps in speed quickly, and I'd hate to log footage in CS6 using the JKL keys alone.
It was whilst reading through a different thread on the forums that I had an idea. Why not just jog with the middle mouse button? REAPER uses a similar idea to great effect for scrubbing.
And so the journey began.
Installing/using quickJog
Pre-requisites
Glovepie is only available for Windows. The script, therefore, only works on Windows.
Sorry Mac users.
To use quickJog, you'll need to download the following:
GlovePie, from glovepie.org. Doesn't matter whether you grab the version with or without emotiv support, as long as it's a recent version
The quickJog script, from bit.ly/getQuickJog (unreserved thanks go to Creative Inlet Films for hosting this)
A mouse with a middle-mouse button/clickable scroll wheel
You'll also need to ensure:
The JKL keys have not been re-mapped in Premiere. This is essential, as quickJog 'presses' the JKL keys to alter the jog speed in Premiere.
Installation/usage
Is currently as simple as...
Start Glovepie
From the File menu, select Open...
Navigate to wherever you unzipped the quickJog script. Open it.
Click the Run button
Click the [ .] button at the end of the menu bar to minimise Glovepie to the system tray
To shuttle, click on the program monitor, source monitor or trim monitor, and scroll the mouse wheel. This functionality is built-into Premiere. You can hold Shift for bigger jumps.
To jog, click and hold the middle-mouse button over the source monitor, program monitor, or timeline, and move left or right to increase/decrese the jog speed (just like the old jog slider).
QuickJog tracks the position of the mouse itself, not the position of your mouse cursor, so don't worry about the cursor touching the edge of your screen.
Keep your eyes on the video, not the mouse!
To exit, right-click the glovePie icon, and select Exit.
quickJog works in Prelude too, which is pretty cool.
Links/Misc
HOW AWESOME WOULD SOME EXTRA BITS OF INFORMATION BE FOR THE WORLD? Like information on how to tweak the configuration variables??
Pretty awesome, I'd say James. Have you thought about actually writing this section, then?
Paha! Don't be crass.
Aww.I stand humbly informed!
In hindsight, I'm not surprised that the JKL keys are a popular choice amongst editors (especially for those who've moved across from other NLEs), but it does rest somewhat uncomfortably in my heart. It feels like Adobe have replaced the pedals and gearstick in my car with a keyboard: not great for those moments when a child runs into the road.
The Shuttle Pro (and Bella to my knowledge?) controllers emulate left/right arrow keypresses to do their work, making the playback 'glitchy' during shuttle operations - I don't like that. I didn't particularly like the feel of the Shuttle Pro when I tried it either. I do like controllers like this (I have one), but have been working for some time on interfacing between the Sony 9-pin protocol and Premiere.
As such, my intermediate preference has been to use a graphics tablet (with a keyboard) for NLE work - hence why having the jog/shuttle controls on screen was so darn useful! Now that I have quickJog mapped to the stylus eraser, edits are much faster.
Quick aside: Huge commendations on just how much can be mapped to keyboard shortcuts in Premiere, huzzah! -
Please invest in getting a good slow motion plugin bundled with premiere cs6, the current slow mo is choppy at best even with frame blending. Get twixtor or other bundled with cs6 please.
There should be a button to deactivate all plugins/effects on all clips so playback can be seemless to review an edit. We can only currently do this manually by deselecting every effect on evey clip which takes forever, there should be a generic option for all effects enable/disableon all video in the sequence.
Multicam needs to extend from 4 cameras to at least 8 or above as with most other NLEs
Add some alpha based transitions in the effects transitions similar to pixelan transitions
Particle effects similar trapcode particular for effects like smoke, fire, sparks etc.
extention to lens flare with more control over flare, flare components, rays, glow ect
A colour corrector that will balance colour between clips ergo you have 3 separate clips and the colour temp is slightly different in each, a fast solution is needed to balance all clips. If the shots are similar there should be a way that NLE can correct colour for both so individual clips match with aid of user. A sort of balance this clip to the colour in this other clip. Again basic colour correction is always used and a very time consuming process, simlifying this will help.
Movie sound effects bank for online content. Many people spend hours looking for or creating simple movie sound effects for fighting, inanimate object collisions, effects for impact, wooshes, trailer effects etc.
My oppinion soo far is Adobe CS suits are great and work well together, the software IS getting better so these are just my thoughts.FAQ: How do I submit a bug report or feature request or otherwise give feedback about Premiere Pro?

Color Finesse in Premiere Pro?
In the November Issue of Sound on Sound Magazine Mark Butler did a review of CS5 Production Premium, and states the following:
"The version bundled with After Effects is Color Finesse 3 LE, and it can also be used directly in Premiere Pro if you like."
How can I do this? I cant find CF in the effects bin or anything and its not that ideal to use Dynamic Link if you want to go back and modify your cuts..Thanks Colin!

Hi All
I check buy this laptop for editing video via Premiere CS6.
FHD via effects.
If it is good enough?
Lenovo Ideapad y70-70
Cpu : i7 4710HQ
Ram: 16gb ddr3
GC: Nvidia gforce gtx 860m 4gb
HD: 256 SSD
Thanks
Best RegardsPast the above, my concerns would be ... what external drive connections does it have? If it's got USB3, you could use a large and FAST flash drive as the storage area for your media ... you'd need to move projects on & off it of course as you worked, but say a 128 flash drive with a high sustained read-speed would handle a lot of work moving it off that relatively small SSD. Small, of course compared to 1T or better HD's.
Thunderbolt & eSATA both have much better sustained throughput for working than USB3, for say any cache/database/renders/project file use. Though renders ... a lot of the time, out to a different flash drive would probably work fine. But with T-bolt & eSATA, you can attach external boxes pretty much as swift working as an internal drive.

Install of Color Finesse for CS5 Is A Mystery
Hello:
I just installed CS5 Master Collection, and I have a left-over serial number for Color Finesse. After posting questions to Adobe support, searching the contents of my "Contents" disk, and just about everything else, I still don't see the procedure to install the Color Finesse plugin to After Effects. Has anyone done this? Where is the install software? I looked on every one of my CD's (all 4 of them). At least I think Adobe should have provided written instructions or a Read-Me that contained that information, but I have yet to find it.
Thanks,
Rich LocusColor Finesse is automatically installed by the CS5 installer, so you already have it all ready to use.
Within AE, select a layer and go to the Effects menu. You'll find a menu item for Synthetic Aperture, and within that is "SA Color Finesse 3". Choose that to apply it to the selected layer, just as you would any other effect.
The very first time you apply it you'll be asked for that "extra" serial number you have. Be sure to use the serial number labeled as "Color Finesse CS5" as that's the one for Color Finesse 3.
Once you've applied Color Finesse to a layer, you can twirl open the Simplified Interface to view the controls, or click the "Full Interface" button to see the full UI. Within that full UI you'll find a link to the Color Finesse Users Guide in the Help menu.
Hope that gets you up and running.

Best disk setup for Premiere CS6
Hello,
I want to improve my disk setup for Adobe Premiere CS6 because I got long loading times.
My current setup:
Crucial RealSSD C300 60GB SSD for the program
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB HDD for media and Media Cache Files
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB HDD for projects and exports
My planed setup:
new: Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB SSD for the program
Crucial RealSSD C300 60GB SSD for Media Cache Files
2x Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB HDD with Raid 1 for media
new: Seagate Barracuda 2 TB HDD for projects and exports
Is this the best solution to improve the performance?
Thanks
TimWhat is the advantage of getting an extra HDD for the exports?
None from a performance point of view.
And should I use the 60GB SDD for the Media Cache Files?
That is much too small. Depending on your projects, you will need at least 256 GB, but possibly even more.
With only 350 GB of media and projects, my media cache is already 72 GB.

ProRes Presets for Premiere CS6
Is it possible to import,capture or convert to ProRes? In the 6.0.1 update download, or a link near it, I got ProRes presets from Adobe. The only place If found such presets installed was in the Application folder of Photoshop CS 6 Applications/Photoshop CS6/Presets/Video/Adobe Media Encoder Is this where they should be placed? Is there a way to get them to all show up at once under a folder named ProRes or should they be placed in the Quicktime folder there? I was able to bring up one at a time by navigating there in the export window, but it would seem to be better if they all just showed up. I was able to export successfully to ProRes 422 using that file path to apply the preset, but have not tried to cross convert or import. Does it work for that and what is the procedure? I have all the ProRes codecs installed from Final Cut Pro as well as the latest ProApps ProRes install. Thanks.
