I have to upgrade computer and want the best bang for the buck
1.
I can spend up to 8K
I like having a macpro for the dual boot but I have BIG projects with massive demand and have to got - what will do the job best. So a PC is an option if if can out perform in my $ range.
2. PPro on osx or W7
simalarly, I suppose that coice would be partly guided by whihc os Premeree CS5 runs better on.

You do not merge libraries.
iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.

Imagining is all that you can do because you do not use Windows and can never make any sort of intelligent comparison.
Why are you now backpedaling on your previous criticism of Apple? These comments do not seem like you really trust them.

I've no idea what in the hell they are doing at Apple to have released something so obviously incomplete.
Mark is certainly a fine advocate of Apple.
Which 'honest recommendation' from Mark are we supposed to trust?

Is the reason why you want to look a few years down the line because you expect Apple to patch their 'damn new re-coded Operating System' (as you put it)? Snow Leopard was released 2 months prior to Windows 7 so it seems like they are already on an equal playing field. You can compare right now unless your Mac is too bonked to work right.

Hardware, OS Choices for PPro CS5...

Hi, like everyone....I'm on the continuing quest for free space!
I have a custom box with a 500GB main drive, and a hot swappable 1T drive. Also... 8 Xeon processors and 12 gigs of ram on a supermicro server board & a GTX260 video card. All in a Thermaltake portable case! She runs sweet!!
Never had a problem w/ the box or Vista U! And rarely have a problem w/ PP CS5...although, lately I have had Encore burning problems...which I think is related to my main drive space being down to 3 gigs!
My biggest problem is "keeping" open space on my main drive! I now have about 25gb's in apps and "maybe" 20gigs of files on my main drive (that I can see!)... We're talking over 400GB's of used space that the OS is in control of??!!
What gives?
I have used utilities and qimmicks to free up "dead" & "temp" & "shadow" files but nothing substantial has happened! Except when the first time I used a utility, it freed up about 50gb's! Then it quickly disappeared within a month!! I have 3.7 gigs of free space on my drive...and it's very frustrating!
I use this computer for both graphics and video editing & creation and store "just files" on my swappable drive...which doesn't have any issue w/ space.
*Should I use another windows OS and be better served? I have several 64bit apps, could that be an issue w/ VistaU? How much "free" disk space is needed on my main drive for rendering/transcoding, and Encore burning? Is there something I'm overlooking as far as utilities for freeing space?
My box is constantly gurgling and churning while online! Everytime I startup there is a constant whittling away of my drive space!! Someone suggested keeping my box offline, and removing any, and everything not needed for vids and graphics! Seems extreme.
I pride myself on being somewhat computer literate...but this "space issue" is a black science, and very frustrating to me!!
Thanks for any help you can provide! Ron

>and store "just files" on my swappable drive
You should also consider creating your projects on your larger drive, since there are project temp files that go to the same drive as the project (you may need to TELL PPro to put the project temp files on the same drive, it's been awhile since I started a new project)

Third party garbage matte for ppro cs5?

Hi there!
I started using ppro cs5 some months ago, coming from fcp, because of the gamma issue in fcp, because of the fact that you can import Red's r3d's directly and because ppro and redcine x communicate nicely. To my amazement there's no decent way of handling a garbage matte, i.e. smoothing it or using edge feather. I'm not about to spend another large sum on after effects--if it communicates directly with ppro like redcine x I will, but I'm afraid it's a question of exporting and importing, which I really dislike--in other words: does anyone know about a third party plugin with a decent garbage matte for ppro cs5?
Many thanks,
Hans

The build in gargage is no good as you cannot feather it BUT...
....you can make your own garbage matte in the Titler. Make a filled bezier shape in pure white.
superimpose over you footage and add a blur to make it feather.
Add Track Matte Effect to footage and set this to the matte.
If you want an animated matte drop the garbage matte effect on a white color matte, add the blur and keyframe the points over time.

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??
Thanks

I 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 ...

Most relevant test score for PPro CS5 to run on notebook?

Hi, I hope I didn't miss this topic anywhere in the forum. Since I am in the market for a new notebook to occasionally edit 3-5min clips of panasonic HMC 150 AVCHD material (most of the time just office work), I was wondering what the best and still affordable notebook (EUR 1500-1800) would be. Apart for a wide discussion of system requirements and recommendations I couldn't find what would be the most relevant test score to assess how well PPro CS5 is going to work. Some say you need to get a notebook for EUR 3000, some say one for EUR 1200 would still work - I guess it depends on how much you are going to edit and how much time you have. I was curious if there was such a score that serves as a guideline. For example, below you find such test scores for a Sony notebook. What would be the most informative as to whether and how well PPro CS5 will work. Any information is greatly appreciated.
btw: I would appreciate recommendations on these two notebooks

thank you very much for your answer. Do you think the following notebook would be suitable for occasional editing of 3-4min clips (we have got a desktop editing machine with i7, 12gb, nvidia gts250, and 4 7200 barracuda hdds)? so basically it should only be able to work as a backup editing machine in case two clips have to be finished at the same time. since there is only one hdd, I could put an sdd into it as well. and I could upgrade to 16gb ram. the reason, why this particular notebook is interesting for me, is that through a student discount I can get it for EUR 1,700 instead of EUR 2,500 (cheapest price on the market for this setup). I am aware that it won't be as fast as my desktop (which works spledidly with avchd!), but it should be faster than a retired snail overtaking during his afternoon nap ;-)
I would really appreciate your opinion on that one or from anybody else that has particular experiences with this notebook and avchd!

Notebook Solution 1366x768 for PPro CS5

Hi everyone,
I'm going to buy a new Laptop and I would like to know if the screen solution 1366x768 is to low for PPro CS5. In the requirements there is a minimum of 1280x900 displayed. Does it means that the programm doesn't start or it's not recommended to work with this low screen solution?
I've got a bonus question: can the gt425m with 1024mb be used for the mercury engine? (with the hack)

>Whats the advantage of two harddisk instead of one?
One hard drive has one read/write head (or set of heads if multi-platter... all physically locked together) so that one (set of) read/write head(s) may only be in one spot on the hard drive at a time
That means that any Windows activity precludes any file activity
You really need at least 2 hard drives... I have 3...
1 - 320G WD Win7 and all programs
2 - 320G WD Win7 swap file and PPro projects
3 - 1T WD all video files... read and write

PPro CS5 Crash Course for Non-Linear Editors

Backstory: I was asked this morning to teach a crash course in Premiere CS5 for the students in the film program at my school in the Introduction to Editing class who have been using FCP. They have to edit several projects using RED footage, and rather than spend a huge amount of time transcoding it to a format which FCP can work with, the prof has just decided to have his students use PPro CS5 (which is also on their editing computers). Since the prof doesn't use PPro, he's asked me to teach the class for him.
I created a very brief crash course powerpoint to assist me in giving them the fundamentals of the program, and supply them with a resource to refer back to as they work on their projects after class is over tomorrow morning. I created this for students who already have done some editing in an NLE, and so don't need to be taught WHAT everything is and HOW to cut footage and put together a timeline. This is just to introduce editors to PPro CS5 who are not already familiar with the PPro workflow.
Anyway, I wondered if some of you gurus would want to take a look at it and give me your feedback on what I've covered well, what I might have missed, and any other thoughts y'all had.
You can view a PDF of the document at www.bryan.edu/pprocs5 The viewer will bring it up embedded in the page at about 40-50%, so you'd be best off to click the download link and open it in Acrobat where you can go full size with it.

Thanks for the input!
I actually taught hem REDCINE-X last week so that they could use it to export their files to an intermediate codec that FCP would understand, and preserve the new colorspace. Unfortunately these computers are so slow that the export process was gonna take nearly a week for all the files they need to work with, so the prof opted to swtich over to PPro midstream since it can handle the raw 4k and supports the new colorspace.
I didn't mention the saving thing... forgot about it; but the conforming issue did come up and we were able to talk about that in class!
The class went okay, I guess... I don't know what it is about students these days, but most of them (like all but one) weren't really paying very good attention and they were just sorta goofing off, talking amongst themselves, etc... made it really frustrating to teach this platform!
Oh well.

Technical problem: PPro CS5.5 won't play DSLR MOVs

Hello!
I am new to PPro CS5.5 (first day, actually) and I cannot play back .MOVs from my Canon 5D Mk2 (with audio). Every other file format that I tried worked, which is quite bad because I bought the Production Premium package just to work with DSLR footage.
It doesn't matter whether I create a sequence (still haven't figured what that is for) with/for the file or not, it doesn't matter what project settings I have. After I start the application I can play (or scrub) DSLR files for ten seconds max before the output starts to jump erratically within the clip (the playhead doesn't) and then turns green (RGB: 0x008600), sometimes interjected with images from other clips that have been played before, sometimes even garbage. There is no recovering from this. All other file formats continue to work fine. "Project New" or exiting the application then may take up to a minute while the program remains unresponsive and looks like it has crashed. It is totally unusable (the competition and every other software works fine with the files).
I have a Win7 64Bit 3.4GHz Sandybridge system with 16GB RAM. The harddisks are large, fast and quick enough to handle DSLR video. There are no other applications running in the background (really nothing as the computer is of course not connected to the internet) and there's lots of memory and harddisk space available.
What can I do or what did I do wrong? Thanks in advance.
...Mike

To edit/play MOV you must have Quicktime installed... what version of QT do you have installed?

Fresh install of PPro CS5.5 on Mac - missing presets and AVCHD support

Oh, this is crazy. How on earth is this not bug-fixed?
I'm in the middle of setting up a new editing suite for my Secondary school where I am a Media Studies teacher. I've got a handful of Macs running fresh installs which I've installed new legal, site licensed Premiere Pro CS5.5 installs on. By default, as in many workplaces, the Macs require admin passwords for internet and install settings, which I applied. None of the machines have had trial versions od PPro CS5.5 or previous versions of PPro.
The issues:
None of the fresh installs contain the presets for AVC-Intra, AVCHD, Digital SLR, XDCAM EX, XDCAM HD422, and XDCAM HD. Which is kind of a disaster, as we have brand new Panasonic HDC-SD900 AVCHD cameras waiting to load up footage for editing.
Further to this, none of the macs will load or recognise the AVCHD footage when I try to add it. I get "unsupported compression type" errors.
Am I missing something basic here, or am I about to enter the "delete everything adobe, reboot, reinstall, reboot" loop from hell to try and fix an entire roomful of machines? Is there ANY way to check if the presets are on the Macs? Is there any way to link them back into PPro if they are? And finally, is there any way to get CS5.5 to recognise AVCHD as a recognised format (which is why I bought the site license in the first place! Premiere Pro is meant to have the easiest AVCHD compatibility of all the editing suites!).
Grr. Dammit.
Ideas?

Okay, this turned out weird. Fixed now, but WEIRD. After the deafening silence on this forum, I went and did some reading on other threads and with other people having similar (but it seems not the same) issue. It seems that there could have been three different causes: here's what I did to fix things, I'd be fascinated if anyone with closer links to Adobe comes up with the technical explanation of why this turned out the way that it did.
Possible issues:
(1) Install may need to be done as Admin, rather than standard user on a Mac
(2) firewall/proxy server maybe isn't allowing some anonymous callback from premiere to adobe to register presets/codecs
(3) something else weird involving registration... some people have had issues with time zones, of all things. see below.
What I did:
(0) Took everything off the school network and put on my home wireless network: no firewall, direct connection to internet.
(1) Tried Ann Bens's suggestion above. Was unable to deactivate software while logged in as Admin on my mac. Came up with error code 255:255 in the notification box, even though I never had a trial version installed on this box. This was the same error I got at school, so I'm tentatively ruling out proxy/firewall issues.
(2) Read the forums some more. I'm in New Zealand, it's currently daylight savings time (GMT +13) here. In http://forums.adobe.com/message/4007876, someone in NZ had a different but similar problem with registering/deregistering Premiere Pro software during NZ daylight savings time, and found that changing to ANY other time zone fixed their issue.
(3) Thought "what the hell", changed the time zone to Samoa (couldn't bring myself to do Australia...) and rebooted as admin.
(4) Successfully deactivated software, no error messages. Interesting.
(5) Uninstalled premiere pro. Rebooted as admin.
(6) Ran adobe cleaner tool. Found some scraps, killed them off. Rebooted as admin to be on the safe side (still on Samoa time)
(7) Installed Premiere, no issues at all. Registered, no issues at all. All preset settings present and correct, no issues getting AVCHD files.
(8) Changed time zone to NZ day light savings time.
(9) Everything still works.
Hm. Adobe, SOMETHING is wrong with the way your software is handling timezones and registration of codecs/software on Premiere Pro CS5.5. Seriously, does anyone have a clue why this might be happening?
So, solved. Shall I give myself a tick for "correct answer" and "helpful answer", given I solved my own thing with no help from tech support?

PPro CS5 not talking to NVidia Quadro 4000...

Apologies in advance if this has been covered a million times on here (and feel free to point me to a thread), but...I have a new Mac setup, Adobe PPro CS5, and the NVidia Quadro 4000 card with MPE/Cuda. And PPro is not using the GPU.
I do have the latest drivers (for the card and for CUDA). The card was installed a month ago and I grabbed the drivers at that time.
Recently I worked on a simple 7-minute non-HD video, with no effects and minimal editing...and the publish time was 7 minutes or so.
I was expecting faster. And while it was publishing, my computer's CPU gauge said it was running at around 90%. I made sure the PPro project setting pointed towards the card GPU.Obviously the MPE and/or CUDA is not kicking in.
I have spoken to PNY (where I bought the Nvidia card) and they said if I have the latest drivers and could actually see something on my screens, then the card is working and...you know...it must be a problem with the PPro aoftware.
Oh, the Mac is a 2010 model, 8-core with a ton of RAM on it.
Thoughts?
John

You are not understanding how the MPE engine works. The MPE engine does not lower the overall load of the CPU as far as usage. It lowers the instructions ie the types of code/threads it has to handle in a given time period. The CPU has to handle all of the Decoding/encoding of the codecs/ie material that you are using. It will also have to process any non accelerated effects. It also handles all memory management and interrupts that is required by the applications, machine code, and hardware. The GPU handles the scaling, interpolation, and some of the effects besides drawing and GUID code. The CPU has to process the Decode then cache the material to ram so it can cache over to the GPU card Ram for CUDA processing. Once threading is done via the GPU then it caches back to the system ram for the CPU to final encode and adjust further frame data for effects. All of this means the entire pipeline happens faster the more load the CPU can handle focused on specific functions and at what GHz those process through the system during a given time. So basically the MPE allows the system to process more work in a given time period simultaneously essentially. So the higher the load on your CPU the faster your entire workflow will process. In simple terms, this means you want the highest CPU load you can get because that means the GPU, system ram, disks, or board throughput is not slowing anything down. Your at 62%. That means your system somewhere in the pipeline is not allowing the cpu to run at max performance in that given time period. I hope that clarify's what you are seeing and why.
And yes, OS/Application threading and caching is also included in not allowing the CPU to run at max capacity.
