Dynamic Range in Premiere Pro CS5

Dynamic Range in Premiere Pro CS5
I'm working in Premiere Pro CS5 and I've been asked by the client to ensure that the "Dynamic Range" of the audio does not exceed 7dB. In order to ensure this, should I use an audio filter such as a compressor? If not, what is the best way to achieve this?
Below is a link to the requirements:

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Dynamic Link not working as part of Production Premium CS5

I ran into a situation whereby I recently reinstalled my Production Premium CS 5 onto a new computer and when trying to run the Dynamic Link out of Premiere PRO CS 5 to create a new After Effects composition, After Effects tried to start up but then crashed with the error that Production Premium was needed.
Yet, I had Production Premium CS5.
(Note: The crash didn't occur when I simply tried to use Dynamic Link without anything selected in my project or timeline - but the moment I had a clip in my timeline selected to work on it, the dynamic link would not work as covered above.)
In checking around the forums I found various answers to this problem such as rebooting the computer, reformatting hard drives and/or whatever. This all may be correct.
However, as I just went through that nightmare, I was not anxious to do that again. So, I called Adobe and the following solution solved the matter in 5 minutes:
1. Close all your other Adobe applications such as After Effects.
2. Open up Premiere Pro CS5 and then deactivate it by going to HELP>DEACTIVATE and then Permanently Deactivate.
3.Close the application and restart Premiere Pro CS5.
4.Then do the same to Activate it.
5. Have your serial number handy and plug it in when prompted.
Solved it right away and worked beautifully.
Not to say there couldn't be more complicated situations, but the above worked and the simpler the better is good for me. And I thought I would post this in case anyone else ran into this problem.

Thanks for posting your solution.

Premiere Pro CS5.5 Dynamic Linking Broken

I have a project in Premiere Pro CS5.5. Brough in all my greenscreen footage and did my edits. When I got picture lock from client I "replace with after effects comp" and did my keying in AE. This worked great throughout the project until yesterday when doing some final tweaks. Premiere would not load all the media, it got to 222 items reamaing and stalled, for hours! Then I moved the folder where all my graphics where and skipped the files when loading premiere and premiere then opened. I relinked all my graphics just fine, but when it came to relinking my AE dynamic link projects, got the spinning beach ball. I figured I would just let it spin overnight and see what happened in the am. 12 hours later it was still spinning. This is very frusterating and I can't think what I did to mess it up or if it's a dynamic link problem. I may have opened and edited the AE project without premiere open, maybe thats what messed it up. Any thoughts?

I've heard of other issues with DL from AE, but not this one... the problem I'm used to seeing is that you've got the wrong footage, and that's usually fixed by unlinking and relinking, which you've done. I rarely use AE myself, and when I do, I've generally found that I get better results by NOT using DL... but I know it should work, so perhaps someone else will have some answers for you. As long as you have the AE project still, you can always just render out your comps as lossless AVIs with UT or Lagarith and then import those to PrPro and replace the DL clips...

Premiere Pro CS5 Dynamic Link with AE CS5.5

Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing a problem with dynamic links. I have Premiere Pro CS5, AE CS5 and CS5.5 on my computer. When I do "replace with an After Effects comp" in Premiere Pro, it creates a Dynamic Link with AE CS5 and not CS5.5. Is there a way to tell Premiere to use CS5.5 version of AE and not CS5 ?
Fred

Not exactly Harm...
It's possible to import AE CS5 composition directly to PrPro CS5.5 via Adobe Dynamic Link, but not vice versa (i.e. it's impossible to import AE CS5.5 composition into PrPro CS5)

Encore CS5 hangs when called by Premiere Pro CS5 using Dynamic Link

Need help from folks,
Have done so far:
1. unistall CS5 package , reinstall CS5 package Production Premium. Reinstall all updates. Still get the problem.
2. Problem seems to be pop-up screen do not accept any 'click' to input answer to Encore CS5
3. Premiere Pro CS5 working fine
Please help.

Thanks again pointing out the Adobe CC Cleaner URL
When I said CCleaner previously, I was refering to a program that clean out garbages from PC (broken links, shortcuts, temp files, etcetera..)
But late on, I have found out Adobe CC Cleaner (for Creative Cloud and CS5, CS6...) for cleaning Adobe craps after un-install.
I just wish the hotline could mention it and not having me to swim to find out that tool does exists saving some precious time.
Here is the status and what I have done to fix the problem:
...yeah, I was shooting in the dark...
1. Uninstall completely Adobe Premiere Production CS5 (remove preferences)
2. Run Adobe CCleaner (choose "all")
3. Shutdown PC, reboot and Cleanup and Defragment C: drive
4. Re-install completely Adobe Premiere Production CS5 (all products)
5. Re-apply completely Adobe Premiere Production CS5 (all products)
       (note: for some reason, I need to do it three times to get the complete updates done, just retry and no changes between retry)
6. Result : PremierePro still working fine, still hangs on Encore
       (Encore dialog screen was frozen as before from the begining and I had to use "Window-Task-Manager" to "end-the-task" of Encore)
7.Conclusion: the problem is on the PC not AdobePremiereProduction
8. Decision: Restore previous checkpoint of Window-7 Professional components
9. Redone steps 1,2,3,4,5
10. The result is the same as mentioned in point 6 and the conclusion is the same as mentioned in point 7.
11. Ultimate Decision: Ground-zero style resfresh (see the follwoing steps)
12. Separate Data from Window-7 (Move out all data from PC and unplug all connected portable hard drives
13. Factory restore of Window-7 Professional using DVD-rescue (hard drive C: wiped out and reformatted)
14. Apply all Updates for Window-7 Professional (over 121 updates, over 700Mb and many shutdown-reboot)
15. Reconfigure Wireless for connecting to Internet
16. Re-Install McAfee Antivirus
17. Re-Install some usefull Softwares (Microsoft Office 2010 Professional, etcetera... Shareport for wireless USB Printer)
18. Lot of Canon and Sony Softwares not re-installed because not used and not needed for now
19. Clean install AdobePremiereProduction CS5 (no need to run Adobe CCleaner)
20. Apply all updates for AdobePremierProduction CS5 (result is intermittent and have to retry few times to get it completed)
21. Apply one by one updates for every single Adobe product to get it done\
22. Shutdown and cleanup C: drive and defragment C; drive
22. From now on, I am sure to have a FRESH an CLEAN PC with a CLEAN CS5
23. RESULT: AdobePremierePro-CS5 still working perfectly AS BEFORE
24. RESULT: AdobeEncore-CS5 standalone do not hang ANY MORE
      but get error on MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ ? (with no details and some question marks) new
24. Get message saying QUICKTIME not installed (with warning)
25. Okay, install QUICKTIME from Apple to please CS5
26. Shutdown PC, reboot PC just to be sure everything kick in properly
27. RESULT: same as in point 24 (get error on MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ ? (with no details and some question marks)
28. It's SHOOT in the DARK, ON MORE TIME, BABY
29. Focusing on MicroSoft Visual C++ component: Comparing Installed products between my OLD PC and the freshly factory restored one
30. The old PC has Microsoft Visual C++ 2005,2008 and 2010 (both x64 and x86)
31. the new PC only has Microsoft Visual C++ 2008,2010 (both x64 and x86)
32. Decision : Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 (both x64 and x86) (trying to have same softwares on both PC)
33. Reboot PC after install
34. AMAZING RESULT: Adobe-Encore-CS5 is functionning OKAY
35. Testing time: I created a very small project in AdobePremierePro-CS5 and I was able to DynamicLink to Encore-CS5 and I was able to create on disk a DVD
      and I was able to play that DVD
36. DID I DO ALL THOSE STEPS FOR NOTHING, WHY IT WAS SO COMPLICATED,
      I WILL TEST IT AGAIN WITH MY BIG PROJECT (76 Ggis and 1 hour 18 minutes Blu-Ray) sometimes this week
     I SPENT TOO MUCH TIME TROUBLESHOOTING AND I AM LOOSING MY CREATIVITY (....LOL...)
      BELIEVE ME, I AM EXHAUSTED AND NEED SOME REST.
37. The End

How to work with Premiere Pro cs5.5 and After Effects cs5 together?

I have edited my movie in premiere pro cs5.5 and made the rough cut. In premiere, i have edited the video, put in soundtrack and foley. Now, i need to add muzzle flashes & blood splatters in some scenes and final color correction using After Effects cs5.
When i import the premiere project in AE and make the changes, and then i export it back as premiere project. When i open this prmiere project, it shows vaious kind of errors and no changes are retained that i did in AE. Also, when i import the premiere project (which has 4 different sequences) in AE, all the media that has been imported in the premiere project also opens in AE making it difficult to organize the media.
How should i work now so that i add vfx and color correction using AE cs5?
I thought of exporting the video from Premiere pro and then open the video in AE and add vfx to some scenes and color correction to the full video and render it out again. But, this is the first time i am using AE and i am not sure if this is the best way. PLEASE HELP.
Or, i could import the whole project in AE, add vfx, do color correction AND then export to video from AE. But i think, it will be better if i export the video from Premiere as it has loads of options to choose from while exporting to a movie.
The dynamic link does not work between Premiere Pro Cs5.5 and After Effects cs5. Even if it does, its not working on my pc.
All the footage is in HD and i want the final result in best quality HD too. PLEASE Help!

If you are working between After Effects and Premiere Pro but with versions that are not the same number, you need to just work with movies rendered and exported as intermediate, lossless files.
Dynamic Link only works between After Effects and Premiere Pro of the same version number, and only when they are installed as part of the same suite.

Adobe Audition CS5.5 with Premiere Pro CS5

Hello everybody.
I am considering downgrading from Master Collection CS5 to Adobe Production Premium CS5.5
But quite frankly it's just because of one application.
Though, i am in doubt if i'll actually going to make the downgrade.
And as you could and might have guessed it is the Adobe Audition CS5.5 Application.
Though really the whole pack has a GREAT improvement overall, I just actaully want to mix SEAMLESSLY with Premiere Pro and sound editing application (Audition).
Which leads me to my next question.
Now with Adobe Soundbooth CS5 closed off (by April 24th), and an UPGRADE for Soundbooth CS5 users to Audition CS5. Does this mean that Audition CS5.5 works SEAMLESSLY with Premiere Pro CS5?
Is there a dynamic link between the two applications? (Audition CS5.5 and Premiere Pro CS5)
AM i able to send mixes between the two? I really don't want to loose any Audio data, such as 5.1 channel mapping, volume mixing, denoising, general mixing etc.
All i really need is some good quality sound editing which works seamless, as After Effects and Premiere Pro has proved to me can be done.
Just want to know if it is possible. Or if I REALLY have to upgrade in order to get the sweet apples.
Best
Lucas

Hi _durin_
Thanks for your quick response.
But I didn't quite understand your answer.
I have seen Jason Levine's video earlier, as CS5.5 was announced and it looks natively good. I understand the mixdown attributes etc.
Please correct me if im wrong HOWEVER this workflow and settings applies still to ONLY the new CS5.5 Version?
Im currently using Master Collection CS5.
Instead of getting either the Production Premium, or Master Collection I am strongly considering updating Soundbooth CS5 to Audition CS5.5 (the option is there as i can tell by SoundBooth's website, though i get a weird error message when I click the update link...)
However I need to know, IF Audition CS5.5 works well with the PREVIOUS version (that'll be CS5 not 5.5), of Premiere Pro.
Are there an option to render the reference video, and generate a interchange session from WITHIN Premiere Pro CS5 to Audition CS5.5?
Im sorry if I either sound harsh or "willingly" misunderstanding. But I have only documentation on how the integration works between the current versions (meaning 5.5).
Im as you can guess VERY confused over the move from Adobe to make a .5 version instead of a full-fledged CS6 solution. It causes a stir, cause I then don't know much of the integration between the previous applications.
I have seen as an example that Photoshop CS5 have gotten the update to receive paintings/files made with their new touch API. So I wonder whether integrational features will be a part of the CS5 pack since, as i've mentioned, an application like Soundbooth gets replaced with Audition, with an upgrade option for the Soundbooth owners.
Im confused and hope you can help me clear my mind up, whether to upgrade or not. I will download the trial eventually, but not onto my current CS5 system since I already use this in my daily video work and want to AVOID confusion.

Importing from premiere pro cs5 to after effects cs5

hi, can anyone help me with this problem?
im editing some stuff in premiere pro cs5 and when i import it into after effects cs5 for colour correction and other effects all the transitions that i had from premiere will disappear. if someone can guide me step by step to this process it will be very helpful
Thanks,
Randolph Azzopardi

As Mylenium suggests, there are many ways to move information between Premiere Pro and After Effects.They are all outlined on this page: "Working with After Effects and Premiere Pro"
You didn't specify, but I'll assume as he did that you are exporting a Premiere Pro project from After Effects. That works by converting things from native After Effects to their equivalents in Premiere Pro; sometimes there isn't a good equivalent, so the conversion isn't perfect. The same conversion is done as is done for copying and pasting between After Effects and Premiere Pro. There's a set of tables that describe the conversions here.
The way to get perfect fidelity is to either use Dynamic Link (as Mylenium suggested) or render and export a movie from After Effects and import that into Premiere Pro.

Exporting from Premiere Pro CS5 and DVD authoring

I have a reoccuring problem with Premiere Pro and authoring DVDs. This is how it goes.
I shoot a video using a Canon 5D Mark III. 1080p 24.
I then edit in Premiere Pro CS5, with proper settings on the sequence which are the preset Digital SLR > 1080p > DSLR 1080p24.
Everything is hunky dory.
Then I have to export...and the frustration ensues...
I export using the HDTV 1080p 24 High Quality export preset with the H.264 export codec. This gives me a decent .mp4
I then bring this file into Encore and author the dvd. I used the regular dvd and the blue ray export settings as a test, but the video always ends up looking horrible with artifacts all over the place, especially on areas of high contrast. It looks like a badly compressed .jpg.
This happens at various times when exporting animation/motion graphics from After Effects also. When I use a ramp in the background, the gradient is often very banded...
When I rent a movie from the video store, the images and type look good on whatever i play the dvd on or watch it through. When I burn a dvd, it looks universally bad using all kinds of players on all kinds of monitors, projectors, etc...
Can anyone lead be in the direction of an article or video that will thoroughly explain this so i can learn it once and for all?
Thanks in advance.

Jim, lol.
Thanks everyone as usual.
So, should my composition settings for after effects be set to 24 or 23.976 and can i render them as 16 bit?
Will this reduce the banding and artifacts along with using dynamic link? Or will it ultimately be 8 bit by the time the dvd is burned and go back to the banding....?

Can't burn project to DVD from Premiere Pro CS5.5

Hello to all the experts out there!
We have been having ongoing issues attempting to burn our finalised project in Premiere Pro CS5.5.
We have tried many of the suggestions found in the forum, including changing file names, checking for gaps in the timeline, changing DVD discs, exporting as an MPEG file (always says unknown error), sending to Encore via Dynamic Link (goes 3/4 way through transcoding and freezes every time), installing Roxio updates etc etc.
We still can't get the project to burn to disc and I am not sure where to go with it next.
Its a 34 minute project, and have been able to export up to 24 mins of it, so I suspect there is a problem with something in the end of the timeline but just can't work it out.
Does anyone have any tips, pleaseeeee!???
Cheers,
Georgi

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 (5.5.2) update adds CUDA processing with Maximus configurations

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 (5.5.2) adds the ability to take advantage of a Tesla C2075 card for CUDA processing when that card is installed along with a Quadro card, which handles OpenGL processing. This configuration—in which the Quadro card handles OpenGL processing while the Tesla card handles CUDA processing—is referred to as a Maximus configuration.
See this page for details:
http://adobe.ly/premiere_pro_552

Here is what one of the Nvidia folks said when a similar question was asked elsewhere:
"That’s right; a Quadro 6000 and Tesla C2075 are not identical but they are very similar and you can expect similar performance. There are a few reasons you might want to use a Maximus configuration for Premiere Pro rather than a single Quadro 6000:
1. Having both a Quadro and Tesla GPU in the system means when the Tesla is cranking full-out on Mercury Playback Engine the Quadro is unaffected, so you can, say, open After Effects or other application that may take advantage of the Quadro, and system performance on that app will be better than if it was competing for resources with MPE on a single GPU.
2. In the future, we expect many users will want to run an animation application (using the Quadro) and a simulation application (on the Tesla) at the same time to provide animators with a level of interactivity they don’t have without Maximus technology. Example video is here. (http://youtu.be/_LagqqsVO28)
3. It costs less. A typical Maximus configuration has a mid-range Quadro (e.g. a Quadro 2000) and a Tesla C2075, which in that instance costs hundreds of dollars less than a single Quadro 6000 and offers similar performance plus the workflow advantage listed above.Of course, some users may want to run a Quadro 6000 and a Tesla C2075 and get maximum performance, but others can actually get the best MPE acceleration for less money with Maximus technology."

How can I go from Premiere Pro CS5 to After Effects CS6? (Problem)

Hi,
I am trying to send my clip from Premiere Pro CS5 to After Effects CS6, but when I right click on the clip, I can't even select the option to send it to After Effects. I can see the option to send it to After Effects, but I just cant select it. Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Billy

You can do what you want... only going the other way!
You can import a CS5 Premiere Project (in its entirety
or a selected sequence) into CS6 Ae.
In CS6 Ae:
File>Import>Adobe Premiere Pro Project...
Navigate to your CS5 Premiere project, double-click
and select 'All Sequences', or your preferred sequence.
As Jim points out, Dynamic Linking will only work
between matching versions of Pr and Ae.

[Tips]After Effects CS6のプロジェクトをPremiere Pro CS5.5で利用する方法

After Effects　CS6で作成したプロジェクトファイルは、一つ前のバージョン(CS5.5）の形式で保存することができます。
After Effects CS6のファイルメニュー／名前を付けて保存＞「CS5.5 形式でコピーを保存する」を選択して保存します。
Premiere Pro とAfter Effectsが同一バージョンであれば、DynamicLink機能が有効ですので、このCS5.5形式で保存されたファイルをPremiere Pro CS5.5からDynamic Linkで読み込み、利用することが可能となります。
※ただし、CS6固有の機能を利用されている場合は、CS5.5形式保存時に無視されます。

I already read this but it just solved the probs with premiere.
The Problem in this case was that (so told me the german adobe support hotline) CS5 ist not working with mobile versions of the nvidia quadro 8in this case quadro fx 2500m).
I solved the prolbem by modifying a non-mobile driver. Now, some energy-saving features won't work anymore and it ist not an "offical solution" and it ist on my own risc of course, but it works well so far.
Just follow the steps posted in that link

After Effects AND/OR Premiere Pro CS5 ?

Hi guys,
I am quite new, I have only done one videoproject and that was in Premiere Pro CS4. Now I got a new machine and have both Premiere Pro CS5 and After Effects. I have started learning AE from some videos and it is quite impressing what you can do there. So I hope I can use AE to improve my videos.
My question is, shall I do the project in PPCS5 and then connect to AE for making special effects on clips or shall I do the whole project in After Effects ?
If I choose AE for the project, will I miss some functions from Premiere Pro?
Many thanks in advance !
Sven

Thank you guys!
You put me on track, expecially with the link!
From beginning I am just taking care of old videos that noone look at because not edited so most of the time just crap.
I want to edit them, try to improve color and sharpness but also add some funny elements so they are more interesting to watch.
I have 30 videos from my daughter, each 1 hour and 8 of my own (really crap) and 8 VHS from a friend. That is just to start with.
Start Adobe Premiere Pro from within After Effects and capture footage for use in After Effects. (See Use Adobe Premiere Pro for capture (Production Premium and Master Collection only).)
Use Adobe Dynamic Link to work with After Effects compositions in Adobe Premiere Pro without first rendering them. A dynamically linked composition appears as a clip in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Use Adobe Dynamic Link to work with Adobe Premiere Pro sequences in After Effects without first rendering them. A dynamically linked sequence appears as a footage item in After Effects.
Start After Effects from within Premiere Pro and create a new composition with settings that match the settings of your Premiere Pro project.
Select a set of clips in Adobe Premiere Pro and convert them to a composition in After Effects. "
So with a testvideo I will start using these 5 different methods so I learn when to use which one!
And I also have 4-5 videolessons to watch.
Thanks again!
I probably be back soon with more questions!

Why is Premiere Pro CS5 slower on my system than Premiere Pro CS 4?

I just upgraded from Production Premium CS4 to Production Premium CS5. Have Windows 7, 64 bit OS, 9 GB ram,
Intel I-7 quad 2.67 processors (over clocked to 2.90 ghz) with hyperthreading. I have nothing of any real substance
operating on my system besides Adobe. I have just loaded in a ton of DVC PRO HD 60 footage and am editing a 30 minute
program. Once I am in Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5, it works fairly well, everything works well real time. However, the moment
I click outside of Premiere Pro like to my desktop, then try to click back into Premier Pro, my screen goes white, Premiere Pro says
"not responding" in the title bar and everything freezes for about a solid minute. CS 4 did not do this at all. Anyone know what is happening?
Tks. eddiem

Thank you Harm for the info so far. I appreciate it. Seeing that this is an issue, let me give you a little more data than I might normally do in the hopes of helping to resolve this issue and possibly, you will be able to distill from this something of use for all of us.
I tried out what you said to do, clicking in the timeline first or even while the blue wheel is in motion, but it makes very little difference. Let me give you a little more info. As an attempt to have resolved this which I have not, I am essentially working offline and the problem still persists. I have internet connection disabled, I have all anti-virus and firewalls turned off, I have gone through the task manager and have ended every single process not essential to running Premiere Pro CS5.
All it takes is for me to click on the desktop with nothing open and then click back to the Premiere Pro CS5 window whether it be in the timeline or anywhere and I get the blue circle going. When I do what you say, even while the blue wheel is going, and I try to click on the timeline, the premiere pro window goes white with the blue wheel still going and locks up for at least a minute.
Some other outpoints that may be related to the same issue:
Additionally, when using the media browser and I double click on the P2 media thumbnails to bring the media to the source window, I get a long delay
to load the footage. Usually about 10-15 seconds for EACH piece just to view it. Needless to say, this makes editing essentially impossible. I have also tried settings on the memory preferences section changing between "performance" and "memory" not really knowing if that would have anything to do with it, but it didn't.
Another mysterious thing is that my editing tools window never shows up even, even when I reset the editing workspace (window-workspace-reset current workspace (with "editing" bulleted). I have to manually open up the window and then drag and drop it back to its normal place each time.
Needless to say this is making the experience terrible.
I checked my loaded and running programs to further resolve this to make sure I did not have some unknown system drain, and happened to see I still had the old Production Premium CS 3 installed but not running, so I uninstalled that and it made no difference. It hadn't been running anyway.
What is frustrating, Harm, is that my Premiere Pro CS4 was running great. When I started working with P2 media on CS 4 on the same system, I had noticed a similar lag in loading P2 media which I thought was odd, but I NEVER had the delay and blue wheel and white screen clicking from one application to another. The only time on CS4 I even experience a slow was when I had PPro4, AE4, AME4 and Encore 4 all opened at the same time!
Funny thing though, when I have Premiere Pro CS5 and AE CS 5 opened, AE runs fine, but Premiere seems to be hog and is just slow. I never have a problem going in and out of the other Production Premium applications.
I am using an Asus computer, with Intel Core i7 processor 920 @ 2.67ghz. I have standard overclocking software, and when I overclocked my processor to run as an i7-940-2.93 ghz, that lag on the loading the P2 media into the source window went away on CS4.
However, since being on CS5 it now does the same thing.
It is so bad that I thought I okay I will go back to CS 4. However, now when I try to use CS 4, it is doing the same thing, yet this did not do that before installation of CS5!
Let me give you just one more bit of data in the hopes that it may help in resolving this. The way I installed Production Premium CS 5 was first via
the trial software. While that was downloading, I purchased the software and I installed the serial number at the time of installation. The reason I mention this is that before I purchased it, I was interested in seeing if CS5 would handle a codec problem I was experiencing going from premiere pro to encore DVD ( this will be the subject of another thread) and I was assured by the salesman it would (it didn't) and that the trial software is fully functional!
Well, that is untrue, and the salesmen and the sales supervisors (spoke to them all) are very seriously misinformed. The Trial version is NOT fully functional, however, you do not find out about it until you actually get the download page and then it clearly says in small print that encore and various HD codecs are not operational as well as some AE aspects on the trial version.
The reason I tell you this is that I don't know if installing via the trial software version makes any difference in how it sets up.
The significance of this is that I was told that Premiere Pro, After Effects and Encore build upon CS4 and you cannot uninstall CS 4 before loading the upgrade to CS5 nor should you uninstall it afterwards.
So this now possibly explains why the previous CS 4 I have on the system is also now responding just like CS5. (I don't know if it makes any difference, but CS5 installed Premiere Pro, After Effects and Encore in the C:\Window\Programs folder yet all other components are installed in the C:\Windows\Programs(86) folder. (My dynamic links work fine (so far) between Premiere and AE and Encore)
Okay, Harm, sorry I wrote so much but possibly this will help, and I hope there is something I can do immediately to resolve these serious delay (lag) issues.
PS: I have three internal hard drives. CS5 is installed on the C drive same as my OS and all my footage and premiere pro pjts are saved onto a different drive. Everything is 7200 rpm, 1TB, Sata 3Gb/s.. Except the internal drive where the PrPro Pjts and footage are stored is 2TB , 7200 RPM and 6Gb/s.
