Does FCP perform better than adobe premiere elements on a MacBook Pro?
does FCP perform better than adobe premiere elements on a MacBook Pro?
Background:
* just trying to decide what to go for re video editing app with more features than iMovie
* last time I'd tried Adobe Premiere Elements on my MacBook (but it was before I had an SSD) the performance was not good - it was sluggish to the point I really didn't want to use it
* so this question is just about whether in general FCP X performs better on a Mac (you'd think it would no, as it's made/optimized for a Mac)
My MacBook:
Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Elements is essentially an amateur app and Premiere a professional one similar to the discontinued Final Cut Pro 7.
FCP X is a radical new approach to editing which like Marmite, you either love or hate.
It is probably between the 2 in capabitlity but much closer to Premiere.
Some might say it was better than Premiere, whilst other long standing broadcast editors would disagree.
It all depends on your standpoint and I am trying to give an unbiased appraisal.
Some of the techniques it uses are way ahead of all other apps and this is what worries people who have an established way of working, though as I mentioned in another post, there are a few omissions which have upset those editors.
Some might say (echoes of Jeremy Clarkson) that FCP X is the most advanced editing app on the planet albeit with a few teething troubles.

Does Adobe Photoshop Elements work with MacBook Pro with Retina display?
Does Adobe Photoshop Elements work with MacBook Pro with Retina display, please?
Have searched Adobe website for answer - most recent is 2013 answer, saying no.
Contradicted by a staff ember who only referred to Photoshop, not Elements.
Reason I need it is that iPhoto does not support very high resolution photos - which I have now scanned onto my MacBook and do not want to re-scan!! After 90 minutes at my local Genius bar (lovely folk, very conscientiously searching for an answer...), re-scanning was their final piece of advice.
Help, please...Hello Smis,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand you are having issues with your HP Monitor on your MAC. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Updating a Monitor Driver, where it states under the sub-heading Using HP monitors on a Mac "HP monitors are not supported in a Mac environment. However, newer Macs use graphics with VESA modes and can display to most HP LCD monitors. To do this, connect the monitor to the Mac while the Mac is off, and then turn on the MAC. The monitor should operate at 60Hz. The INF and software for the HP monitor are for Microsoft Windows and cannot be run in a standard MAC OS environment."
This being said all I can advise is that you check to see that the monitor is set to operat at 60Hz and contact Apple for assistance if that does not get your monitor displaying correctly.
I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

The following may help you understand about deleting photos from a library:
Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library:
1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the trash bin as above.
NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

Premiere Elements on a MacBook Pro (Bootcamp)
I'm considering purchasing Premiere Elements (and Photoshop Elements) to run on my MacBook Pro (2010).
I'm planning on running it in Windows 7. Does anybody have any experience with this? How does it run? Any issues that I should know about?
I currently have 4GB of RAM but I'm planning on upgrading to 8GB (as I understand it, 4GB is more than enough)
ThanksIt will run in Boot Camp as well as it runs on any Windows computer with similar specs as your Macbook Pro.
Here are the specs and system requirements.

How will Adobe Premiere run on Apple MacBook Pro MC373LL/A ?
The specs are listed at: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core-i7-2.66-aluminum- 15-mid-2010-unibody-specs.html
Can anyone confirm that Adobe Premiere will run on this computer, and if there are any performance problems?It depends on what you are doing with it. With only a dual core processor, if it only has the default 4 GB of RAM, a lousy 5400rpm drive, and an older nVidia GPU with only 512 MB of video RAM (no GPU Hardware MPE acceleration) i doubt if you would be happy with the performance. Maybe Premiere Elements might work.

Transfer photoshop and premiere elements to new macbook pro?
how can I transfer my online purchase of photoshop elements and premiere elements from my old macbook to my new macbook pro
You will need the backup of the original download package. If you purchased from Adobe, less than three years ago, another download may be possible. Click on the red Adobe logo (top left of this forum page) and log-in to My Adobe and then explore your purchase history.

Installing Adobe Photo Elements on a MacBook Pro.
I am trying to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0. When it tries to install it gives an error that says that it can't find the "Classic Environment". The install manual says to go to System Preferences and select a classic environment which is not there. It does finish installing, but when I try to run it it puts the splash screen up and then a window came up saying that an unrecoverable error has occurred. Will this app run on my system? If not how do I uninstall it. Some of the posts said you can not drag the app folder to the trash. I tried to drag it to the trash, but I noticed that with a terminal up there is still a PSE directory under "/".

That version is incompatible with Leopard. You need a much newer version. The current version is 6.0, but 4.0 should work OK.
I just bought a "brand new" copy of Adobe Photo Shop Elements - thanks to the wonderful folks at Amazon - only to discover that it /may/ be Version 6, but the files apparently date back to March 2008. (This is what you'll find if you open up some folders on the DVD, and take a look at the dates.) But it is now November 2008, some 8 months later. Did I buy a very old version of Elements 6?
Anyway, I haven't been able to install it on my Mac mini running OS X 10.5.4 so I naturally have to wonder if I am doing something wrong.
Whenver I attempt installing it, I get the message to call Technical Support at Adobe.
Are you sure that Adobe Photo Shop Elements 6 will run on a Mac mini running OS X 10.5.4?
Also, the instructions say you aren't supposed to uninstall Elements 6 by drag the icons (yes, two or more Photo Shop Elements icons appear on the bottom toolbar when installing) to the trashcan, but I naturally assume they mean, once Elements has been successfully installed.
If the installation process aborts with a request that you call Technical Support at Adobe, is it okay to
uninstall a partially installed app by dragging the icons over to the trashcan? -
Adobe Premiere CS4 vs. MacBook Pro
Hi,
my problem : preview video is not playing smoothly. Sometimes it's playing good, but than it starts again: just stops for few seconds, the video is not fluent. There is no other problem, working with effects, audio working good, rendering, saving, everything is perfect. No other programs running, restarted computer.
This problem was seen only on Premiere, every other programs are working normally.
Please help... LeaLea,
Unfortunately, you posted to the Premiere forum. This was a program that was the precursor to PrPro. THIS is the correct forum. Maybe the MOD's will move this out to the PrPro forum, so you'll get more comments, than here.
Now, tell us about your I/O sub-system, i.e. your HDD's, their size, speed, free space, controller type and how you have them allocated.
My rough guess would be that your I/O sub-system is not up to the playback, but could well be wrong. With all but AVCHD material, the I/O sub-system is the most important aspect for playback. With AVCHD, it's CPU power first, and then I/O.
Good luck,

Premiere elements 12 on Mackbook Pro running Maverick

Also, don't forget to run a Disk Verification and a Font Check on your Mac. Corrupt fonts can cause some real problems for this program.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/940869?tstart=0
It also matters where you got your copy of the program from. The version available in the App Store has had so many problems that Apple pulled it.
There may also be issues with your Retina display, if you have that feature. -
Transferring a project from Adobe Premiere Elements 10 into FCP
Hey everyone,
I'm an FCP editor, and I have just come on board a project that has thus far been cut on Adobe Premiere Elements 10. I want to export the EDL of the project and import it into FCP, but this Premiere programme is unusual because it doesn't have an "export" fuction. It has "share".
I'm trying to figure out how to go about exporting the EDL and then tell the (not tech savvy) director this remotely so he can email it to me
Does anyone know how to do it?
Thanks!Unfortunately, PrE does not offer EDL, or OMF Export, as Premiere Pro does.
Steve's suggestion to Export/Share the Timeline, for Import into FCP is the closest that one can get.
Good luck,

Adobe Premiere Elements 11 does not open
Hello,
I just bought adobe photo elements 11 and premiere 11. I already had a trial version from Photo Elements11. With the code I could activate the whole program so this succeeded.
However, I tried to install Adobe Premiere elements 11 (several times) I installed and de-installed and re-installed a couple of times but with no success. During the installation process it does go through the whole installing procedure and everything seemed ok; the icon appears on my desktop but when I try to click to open it, it doesn't open..(it's not doing anything at all, you see the mouse turning into that "swirl circle" very briefly then it stops and nothing opens)
I also tried to download the trial version and hoped with the code I could open it, but nothing happen there either.
Hope you can help me out. I also didn;t receive any error messages.
I have a Intel Core i5-2430M - 2,4 Ghz, Windows7.
thanks!
IngeCould be the auxilairy processes failing to initialize. Perhaps the event viewer can provide some clues:

Could also be an issue with teh activation stuff, so try running Help --> Deactivate in PSE, then launch PRE to bring up the activation dialog....

Why does Adobe Premiere Elements 11 download my videos to my computer so slowly?
Hey guys, I have been using Adobe Premiere Elements 11, for quite some time, and I noticed that its download speed is as slow as a turtle. I know it is not my download speed, because when I download files from the internet, or games, it goes as fast as anything. Just so you have more information, I will tell you have my recording/uploading process goes. First, I record the video (Using Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 Screen Capture). Then, I would send it to my video encoder. (Microsoft Expression Encoder 4). I would then encode the video, and send that output file to Adobe Premiere Elements 11 for further editing and to download it to my computer. Now, everything up to this point takes maybe 30 minutes. But when I get to Adobe, it takes more less 3 hours (give or take a few minutes). Finally, after all that waiting, I upload it to Youtube, which takes about an hour or so. My problem is Adobe is taking far to much time to install/download the video. And as a result of that, I can only put out about a video a day. Is there any way to speed that up, or should I just get a new editing software? All feedback, and help is greatly appreciated.
Gamer
The typical ways to introduce media into Premiere Elements 11 is via AddMedia which puts the source media into Project Assets and from there you drag the contents to the Timeline Expert view edit.
These would be your choices.
You say that you used Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 and a picture from Photoshop Elements 11.
Given that you are doing screen captures with Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 and you have a photo from Photoshop Elements 11, but how are you introducing them into Premiere Elements 11? At the same time that we are looking into the how, we need to look into the what, especially for the screen captures. The video and audio formats and file extension among other things are important to the Premiere Elements workflow.
So, again I would ask you to offer answers to what I had asked
I am assuming that you are talking about the time it takes for the video to import into Project Assets for you to drag to the Timeline. Are you observing any indexing and/or conforming going on (bar at bottom right of Expert view interface) during this 3 hour await time?
Among other things, what are you using for Add Media and to get to Project Assets? And, the usual drill, what are the properties of your source media, including size and duration, video and audio compression, file extension, etc.? By comparison what is the size and duration of those Internet games et al. that seem to be transferring to your expectations?
Is this one of those issues where "it never worked before" or "it worked before but not now" specific to Adobe files of the size and duration and properties that you are focusing on?
I see the answers to all of the above as expediting the matter to get your concerns addressed.
Please review.
Thank you.

Adobe premiere Elements does not find my Sony HDR-CX160

Dan EllerWhen you do use Windows Explorer (or Mac Finder, I think... I don't have a Mac... and you did not say) to copy the files from the camera to your hard drive, do as it says in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1015001?tstart=0 so you don't lose the metadata
