Difficulty installing upgrade version Premiere Pro CS3 on Sony Vaio

I hope someone can help me. I purchased Sony Vaio multi media PC with Premiere standard factory installed. Last year I purchased upgrade premiere pro CS3 and installed it I had shared component error that was resolved with adobe tech support. the program worked flowlessly until recently my hard drive crashed and had to be replaced. Since then when I try to install Premiere Pro upgrade it has locked the program and is asking for serial number factory installed premier standard. The very first time I installed upgrade program originally it never did that . What can I do?

  • Premiere Pro CS3 on Sony Vaio - performance question

    I am running an older VAIO PCV-RX770 P4 2.2 Ghz, 1Gb RAM, ATI RADEON 9550 256 Mb graphics card with Premiere Pro CS3 newly installed. I have attached a new Seagate FreeAgent 500 Gb external drive that I have all my Source Files on. My question is this: Is there any tweaks that I can perform to this machine to make it run as as fast as possible. All drivers are up to date and all drives constantly de-fragged. When I do Start, Run, MSCONFIG, my startup tab is pretty clear, only a few things running - AGRMMSG, khooker, point32, RUNDLL32, ccApp, cfmon, ColorVision Startup. I wonder about the SERVICES tab - can anyone tell me what apps(without me listing them all here) that I can safely "disable"(if at all) here? I see the "hide all Microsoft Services" box and when checked, the list becomes smaller. When I checked the Microsoft box and then "disabled" all the rest, Premiere wouldn't start. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanx, Eric.

    There are a couple of Adobe Technical Support Documents (links are in the WIki) that cover optimizing Windows for PPro. They will probably help you.
    Cheers

  • Premiere Pro CS2 upgraded to Premiere Pro CS3

    Hi all,
    I currently have Adobe Production Studio Suite(CS2) installed on my PC. We have purchased Premiere Pro CS3 (with Encore CS3 & OnLocation) do I just install PP CS3 etc which will obviously just be installed alongside Adobe Production Studio Suite(CS2)?
    My questions are: Is there a way to uninstall PP CS2 out of the Production Studio Suite? Or do I leave it and just work with PP CS3? If so will they interfere?
    Thanks in advance.
    Craig.

    Leave it. They will not interefere and you may want to use it to modify older projects.

  • Installed upgrade of Premiere Pro CC to "CC 2014" but did not know it required payment. Now my PAID license has been reverted to an expired trial.

    I needed to open a Premiere Pro CC 2014 project on a computer which only has Premiere Pro CC 7.3.3, so I installed the upgrade to CC 2014. I did not know it required payment (a warning would have been nice).
    Now my PAID license has been reverted to an expired trial. How do I change it back?
    Thanks,

  • Premiere Pro CS3 to Avis Workflow

    Hello I wondered if you could help me...? I am shooting in Digi Beta and want to perform the offline edit in premiere pro cs3 (as i already use/have it) and the client wants to do the online edit afterwards - can anyone tell me the best way to do this?(if possible)do i have to do the simple offline edit in dv res in premiere pro cs3 and then take the master tapes and edl etc to an avid suite to finish? I have never done an offline to online edit before, all our previous edits have just been dv or HDV. Can premiere handle full res beta without compressing down to dv res? Not sure where to go as im a bit confused. If it can all be done in Premiere then that would be great as i have my suite sitting here!

  • Premiere Pro CS3 Trial version refuses to install

    I downloaded the trial version of Premiere Pro CS3 last night (painfully slow) and tried to install this morning, but it balks a few percent from the ned. I keep getting disk space or priveleges; 60+ gigs on one drive I tried, 80 gigs free on another, and I've administrator priveleges on an XP-Pro system, 2 Gb RAM.
    I even tried letting it use the default c:\... location it defaults with same results.
    This a correupted file or ??? ADBEPPROCS3_ALP.exe 719,174,560 bytes. Should I re-download & try a different mirror site?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Well, it gets better.
    I went thru the slow d/l process again this morning. The download applette was already installed and it started up quickly. I chose details in order for the applet to NOT install upon completion.
    When it did finish, I then let the applett proceed to launch, chose my own temp folder for it to ectract to, and this time it went to completion.
    Great! It worked. At least the installation part did. Someone say something about another shoe?
    Now let's see what the program looks like. I chose it from the All programs menu as there is no Desktop icon, and it asks me for a serial number or to try for 30 days. I select the latter and it proceeds with a loading ... Adobe Premiere CS3 splash.
    ... until it gets to an FL Studio VSTi.dll and proceeds to go no further.
    The system isn't hung, just constant hourglass over the Premiere CS3 splash. Task Manager doesn't even show the application as hung, but under Processes, Adobe Premieree Pro CS3 tops the list on mem usage (263 Megs), and I can kill the process there.
    And no, I haven't tried renaming, moving, uninstalling, etc. concerning FL Studio at this point, although I might test that later.
    So, it sounds like I'm gonna have a tech support issue before I even receive my official copy of the product. I think that's a first.

  • Can't install Premiere Pro CS3 in vista x64!

    Hi
    I'm trying to install Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 trial version on my system Vista Ultimate X64, every time I run setup.exe that extracted on my desktop it load for few seconds, loading and then it close with no reason.
    There's no error code or any message after it close. and I'm also pretty sure that my system met recommended requirements. I'll upload dxdiag anyway.
    I just were on my way to buy this product but I said ill try it as long as there a trial version, thanks to "trial versions" idea that adobe presents to us.
    Anyway, what is my problem, what's wrong?

    I have to agree with Aanarav but I haven't suffered the same USB audio problem. My Rode mic works fine.
    I've loaded CS3 Production Premium on Vista x64 and suffered no ill effects at all. My projects are longform (documentary) and the greatest benefit so far is the drastically reduced rendering times (mind you that's a quad core with 8Gb of memory.) Apart from the Adobe suite I can run GPU based programs like ProDad's Vitascene and many others concurrently without affecting processing speed all that much. For the first time I can actually run Prem Pro and Avid liquid at the same time (not too well mind you) and that's a feat.
    As to all the "questions" Vista may ask the solution is simple - turn them off.
    There's a lot of rumours about "lack" of drivers but this is changing daily and I don't have one piece of hardware/software from XP that can't run on Vista x64 including my 14 year old HP Laserjet 6p printer. The only hardware I needed to replace was my Lide30 Canon scanner (2 years old).
    Oh! the nVidia x64 bit video drivers are a treat.
    Vista x64 - faster than a speeding bullet (if you have a half decent machine)

  • Premiere Pro CS3  Vs Premiere Element  (latest version)

    Hi there,
    I need need help on whether to buy Premiere Pro CS3 or Premiere Element (latest version) ?
    1. Can the Element run multiple videos at the same time ? For example, I wanted to run say 4 videos at the same time on different part of the screen.
    2. Can Premiere Pro CS3 create a 3D words say "Adobe" and do the following effect:
    i) a 3D alphablelt of "A" appear from inside the screen them zoom out, and as it zoom out, it rotates along the Y-axis then stop. This followed by "D" then "O" then "B" then followed by "E". By the time E stops, you will have the words ADOBE
    Thanks

    Cool3D is a much more powerful program for creating the effects you described then After Effects. The 3D layers in AE have no depth: they are like postcards that you can move in 3D space. The objects (and words) that you create in Cool 3D are three-dimensional. They have depth and you can see their thickness when moving them through 3D space. Like in AE you can use multiple light sources of different colors and types. The program is easy to use if you limit yourself to the presets provided. The program has not been updated to make use of multiple processors so rendering takes a long time. But the results are superb. Just make sure that you render to "Uncompressed AVI with 32 bits" to get the alpha channel. (In Ulead lingo "Field Order A" is lower field first.)
    Don't get me wrong. Cool 3D is very limited in its capability. It is not After Effects. But what it does it does very well.

  • Need to Download Premiere Pro CS3 (CD won't install)

    Hi there,
    My laptop's HDD recently crashed, and when I went to reinstall the Premiere Pro CS3 cd, I get to the screen where install progess is shown (after I've entered my S/N).  The installer seems to hang on 'instaling 3rd party content' and takes FOREVER for the green bar to 'move'.  Then, after hours of letting it sit, I get a window that says install has failed... pretty sure that it said 3rd party content DID install, but PP itself and something else did not.  I tried twice, with the same result.
    The CD is clean, no real scratches... just been sitting in its case for years.
    FWIW, I'm running Vista 32bit. 
    I'm hoping there's some CS3 files still hidden on Adobe.com that I can DL in place of the CD.
    Don't really edit from home much anymore. Just need my copy of PP to work so I can recut my resume reel, which is a fairly important task. 
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Thanks for that link.  Got it downloaded.
    It appears that something is wrong with my laptop... because the downloaded file stalls at the same point as the disc.  While it still says "Installing Shared components".  This is when the green progress bars stop(about 10% of the way) and the HDD activiity light on the laptop stops as well.
    Back when I reinstalled windows, I had some issues updating.  Once I got to a certain point, one of the updates would render my laptop screen completely blank.... so after reinstalling a few times, I stopped installing updates at a certain point... though I did make it to Service Pack 2.
    That's the only reason I can think of, as to why the program won't install. It's really odd.
    BTW:  I did shut down the antivirus while attemptinng Premiere install.

  • I have an older version of Adobe Premiere. Will I pay full price for an upgrade to Premiere Pro ?

  • Premiere Pro CS3 Crashed, and now will no longer start back up again..

    I was working on a project today using Cs3, I've had it since spring and it always worked fine until tonight when i was editing a project.. In the middle of my editing the program unexpectedly froze than crashed...
    I then tried to restart it and i got this message which popped up in 4 windows..
    " Sorry a serious error has occurred that required adobe premiere pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project" i then hit ok and it exited completely, i tried to open it again, same thing..
    so then i restarted my computer and i got a different message that said something like i wasn't aloud to use the program anymore and had to reinstall it or cal adobe tech support... so i put the CD in and re-installed it and got the same message when opening the program up again "serious error messages" I then went to the CS3 updates to update it back to version 3.2.0. But still continue to get the error message.
    so something must have happened during my edit that caused it to stop working, but i have no idea what it could be. I even tried to do a System restore..which also got a error message....thanks vista...
    anyways..i can use some help, thanks
    :edit:
    i tried to reinstall Premiere Pro 1.5 since Cs3 was an upgrade.. I reinstalled it then reinstalled Cs3 again, and i still get the "serious error Message" so that didn't work...

    Ok i looked at the Troubleshooting site Eddie gave me, and tried to answer the questions as best i could.
    Never used any Adobe Beta software.
    I freed up a lot of space off of my hard drive, i only had like 5GB-10GB left, but it still worked when having such low space
    I did a disk clean up as well as disk defragment, and moved a lot of high GB files over to my second hard drive. i have over 27GB of free storage left now, its a 150GB hard driver. should i have more?
    I Tried holding down the Shift button, but didn't help
    I tried to open up Encore Cs3 which came with Premiere, i barely ever used this one, but its funny how this wont work either. I think i used it once before and it worked. But it old how none of my Cs3 Programs. never installed On location.
    also this isn't a pirated copy or anything, i bought it as an Upgrade from Amazon back in the spring. Upgrading from Premiere Pro 1.5 which also wasn't pirated, i got that as a gift.
    My older version of Premier, 1.5 still works, and my older versions of Photo shop (CS?) and After effects (6.5) still work. So that's good. Just having a problem with Cs3 :(

  • Premiere pro cs3 ftp link

    We purchased Premiere Pro CS3 couple years ago.  Had to reformat computer, can't reinstall because downloaded first time with trial and the 30 days is up.  Adobe keeps telling me they will make the Premiere Pro CS3 link to install the program and email the link to me.  This has been going on since the beginning of 2009.  Still no link.  upgraded to CS4 like Adobe suggested, having all kinds of problems.  Is it possible to use someone else's installation discs for CS3 but use my serial number to register it?

    I have Premiere Pro CS4 installed on my desktop and my laptop. My projects are generally short in length (30 seconds to 30 minutes; some larger but the project size doesn't seem to make any difference) and I am still in SD, not HD.  Although a little slow because I'm running 32 bits, initially it worked fine on both, until . . . .
    Desktop - all of a sudden I'm getting an error message "Licensing for this product has stopped working", followed by a couple similar error messages.  It will only stay open for 5 minutes tops before this message appears.  I've tried the solutions posted by Adobe and the Forums but nothing has worked.  I can't think of anything that changed on my computer that made this start happening.
    Laptop - Same error message as above. It never did import to Media Composer. Then I had issues with the Dell XPS laptop so our IT dept worked on it and fixed those issues by replacing motherboard, memory and video card (old video card was a NVIDIA Geo Force 8800 GTX, new card is a ATI Mobility Radeon X1800, any thoughts as to whether this replacement was a step up or down from the NVIDIA are welcome). They reinstalled the programs and now Premiere works okay but it still won't import to Media Composer.  Media Composer opens but the project never gets there and I get the red X or the caution triangle.
    Desktop - Premiere doesn't work but it does talk to Media Composer.  If I can get it to stay up long enough I can take the video I create from the laptop, open it on my desktop and then Import to Media Composer.
    The desktop is a Dell XPS 720; Windows XP Professional Version 2002 w/Service Pack 3; 32 bit; Intel Core 2 Quad; Q6600 @ 2.40GHz; 2.40 GHz; 2.75 GB of RAM.
    The laptop is a Dell XPS 720; Windows XP Professional Version 2002; 32 bit; Intel Core 2 CPU; T7200 @ 2.00GHz; 1.99 GHz; 3.25 GB of RAM.
    This is extremely frustrating.  Especially when I didn't have any problems with CS3.  Thanks for any help you can provide

  • Unable to play Cineform avi files in Premiere Pro CS3

    I am using Cineform NeoHD version 5.3.2 to convert the MXF files from my Canon XF300 into Cineform AVI.
    Then I import these AVI files into Premiere Pro CS3 and here is where the problem begins.
    Premiere is unable to play these Cineform files. All I get is about a second of audio, and a still frame of the video. This happens both in the source window, and also on the timeline.
    The Cineform AVI files play perfectly fine when using Virtualdub for playback, but Windows media player behave just like Premiere.
    Everything worked fine a week ago. Premiere appeared to use something called "ffdshow" to play the Cineform files, and I could edit without any trouble.
    A few days ago, when I tried the same, that's when the problems came. Whenever I hit Play button in Premiere, a popup window came up, saying Premiere wanted to use ffdshow, and the options was "never", "no once", "yes once", "yes always".
    When everything worked a week ago, I had to use the "yes always" option.
    Now, it does not matter which option I use, Premiere will not play the Cineform files.
    I did not make any changes to my computer between the day everything was okay, and when the problem appeared.
    A Cineform representative suggested "ffdshow" is the troublemaker, so I uninstalled ffdshow and removed any traces of it I could find, but the same problem still exist.
    Then I uninstalled Cineform NeoHD
    Uninstalled and reinstalled Production Premium CS3 suite
    Reinstalled Cineform NeoHD
    Still same problem, nothing has changed.
    It does not matter if I use 50i or 25p source files.
    My system: (Laptop)
    Windows Vista ultimate 64-bit
    Intel 2,66GHz quad core CPU
    4GB ram
    Nvidia Geforce 8800M GTX
    3x internal 7200rpm harddrives set up with raid-0
    Anyone else experiencing this?
    Any ideas what might be wrong?

    dont know , but this stuff might fix your prob.. overwrite whatever ffdshow screwed up...
    cfrepair utility:
    http://www.siliconimaging.com/DigitalCinema/SiliconImaging_support.html
    cineform codec (neo player)
    http://estore.cineform.com/NeoPlayer.aspx
    never used the cfrepair thing..but did install neoplayer which gave me the codec to use cs3 with cf raw files ( sample of cf raw at the si 2k site -- avi ext )
    ps.... to keep overhead down on my computer I took the resulting cineform "player" out of my startup directory....as it wants to run in background when you install it...no need for that for my purpose of just getting the codec

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 "The editing mode used by this project could not be loaded."

    Hello-
    I am encountering an issue with my Adobe Premier Pro CS3. I am trying to open up a project that another person has created on a different editing system. When I try to open, it comes up with the error "The editing mode used by this project could not be loaded. The project will be opened in Desktop mode." The next window is a Windows Explorer screen, that wants me to choose a file to open. If I cancel that, it brings up a blank looking project with no timeline or anything?
    A quick comparison of systems:
    Mine:
    HP dc7700s desktop
    Windows XP OS
    Adobe Master Collection CS3
    Hers:
    IBM compatible laptop
    Microsoft Vista
    Adobe Premiere Pro CS3
    Adobe Photoshop CS3
    I have googled the error message, but have not found anything to fix this. I have also verified from Help - About that we have the exact same versions of Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 installed.
    I need to be able to view this project on either computer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
    Thank you!

    >project will be opened in Desktop mode
    I have never used any non-standard files, but from reading here, desktop mode is used when the video files are not standard... in one way or another, but usually pixel dimensions
    What is the codec and properties of the files in that project?
    Are you sure they are 100% standard?

  • Premiere Pro CS3 on Mac versus Final Cut Pro

    Any of you working on a mac with Premiere Pro CS3? If so, why did you choose Premiere over Final Cut Pro?
    I'm currently using a Matrox RTX100 on a custom made PC that has all the correct pieces of hardware to make it work. It's running PPro 1.5 and I'm looking to upgrade to a new computer and wanted to know if PPro CS3 runs better or like butter on a Mac versus a PC. I will be using a Raid 0 1TB drive from G-Raid. For Mac the other option is Final Cut Studio 2.
    I've been a Premiere user since 1999-2000 and have had my share of grief with it but have grown to like it very much especially with the integration with AE.
    I want to know what your thoughts are if you were in the same position.
    Thanks,
    Frank

    I'm using PP CS3 on the Mac, having recently switched from a Windows machine. Since I already owned the Windows version of CS3 Adobe allowed me to "crossgrade" to Mac for the cost of shipping. I took a look at FCP but saw no compelling reason to make the switch in editing programs. If you do a lot of editing in HD it might be a different story as PP doesn't include an intermediate codec (FCP does), has issues with HDV video/audio sync and lacks native support for XDCAM. Hopefully these particular weaknesses in PP will be addressed soon.
    PP CS3 on the Mac has worked very well for me so far. The integration with AE is excellent. One other thing to note is that PP is available as a stand only app. This is no longer true of FCP, where you are forced to buy the entire Studio 2.

Maybe you are looking for
