Editing Canon 7d 1080p/24 footage with Premiere Pro CS5 + mobile quad core CPUs

I'm researching getting a new laptop for editing and trying to determine if even the best laptop out there will give me the editing experience I need.
Does anyone have any experience editing 7d 1080p/24 video files in CS5 with a laptop with a quad core CPU (either i7-Q* or the older quad cores) and/or GPU acceleration? I'm curious if the CPU can handle the load especially with multiple overlayed video tracks with varying opacity.
Please  include the following in your reply:
# video tracks overlayed
playback resolution: half, quarter, full
CPU
GPU acceleration (if any)
Hard drive
Thanks!
My experience is this... On the sequence below, even at 1/4 resolution playback, the preview stutters to the point of being useless when there are three video tracks overlayed.
# video tracks overlayed: 3
Playback resolution: quarter
CPU: duo core 3.06gHz
GPU acceleration: none
HD: blazingly fast ssd

  • Editing Red Dragon Raw 6k Footage with Premiere CC and/or CC 2014 - Which is better and what issues should I expect?

    Hi All
    As the title asks;
    1. Are there any known issues when Editing Red Dragon raw 6k footage in Premiere Pro CC/CC14 ?
    2. Which version of the software would be the best choice ? CC/CC 2014 (I have both)
    This is my first Red Dragon 6k Project in premiere CC software and although I have used CC extensively since its release  I am working with a tight turnaround so making sure I have as much info as possible to troubleshoot. (if needed)
    This question is directly related to the software and any known issues.  It is not hardware related as we are setup for that side of things with very fast SSD -> Thunderbolt storage and powerful machines.
    Any info or experiences would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks
    Piers

    Hi Piers - did you ever get an answer or figure out a good workflow for editing 6K in premiere?
    If so, i'd appreciate you sharing what you've learned.
    Thanks!

  • 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

    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.

  • Capturing with Premiere Pro CS5 & Canon Legria HV40

    Hello everyone,
    I have an issue trying to capture footage from my Canon Legria HV40. My desktop operates with Windows 7 / 64bit and I use a firewire port when attempting to capture from the DV cassette on the Canon Legria HV40. After opening Premiere Pro 5 (not a trial version) I connect my camera via all the correct ports and open the capture window in the software. After setting up all my preferences for the capturing process the software recognises the camera and I am able to operate the camera from my desktop (fast forward, rewind, play etc...).
    The issue starts at this point. When i press "Tape" or "Play" then "Record" to start the capturing process the camera kicks into action. However the software does not record anything from the camera.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or have they come accross this issue before. Any help would be appreciated.

    MKoffy Hi,
    It works just fine here, same set up, but with CS5.5.2 not older version.(5.5.1 or 5.5 did not work), other contributers spoke of a "LEGACY" driver?, I think Harm Millard he may know more than I do. We are PAL, the camera obviously works, make sure you  have camera set at 1920 x 1080 i.And the same setting in PP, however PP should automatcally set that for you.
    In fact when Exporting to Tape it is amazing and starts the camera with out having the record button executed., it (the HV40 is Anamorphic at 1440 x 1080 (the limitation for Pro tape) and will record at Progressive, the pixels are rectangle not 1.0  , but the output is i). Do not save clips to another DRIVE.It is best in the RAID set up. according to Canon Specs it records at HDV 1080/50i , 1080/25i (PAL) These settings must match the set up in Premiere Pro 5.5.2 exactly.I do not set  IN or Out points, it might have been a good thing to stripe the tape in the first place as it will recognise the Indexing numbering better that way.
    I must add the quality of the Export even to Blu-ray astounded me. Nearly as good as the Canon 5D Mark II 1920 x 1080p but, that was from a CF card.
    Good luck
    Ps. Frankly the Premiere Pro CS5.5.2 surprised me when it recognises all that when it went to work. Because when you used Premiere Pro 1.5.1 everthing was manual, well nearly.

  • Problem with Premiere Pro CS5 project files bloating

    Has anyone had the same problem that we're experiencing? - we have Production Premium CS5 installed on a machine with Win 7 Pro x64. We have three separate edits all of which are experiencing bloating of the .prproj project file. Often this bloating seems to occur when no importing of assets has occured, just changes in the edits. A project which started at 5mb has bloated to 1.5GB and we can no longer save it. Another project has bloated to 200mb and continues to grow in size. We have not brought in any weird assets, although we are using hi-def footage.
    We upgrade from CS3 and never had this problem using Premiere CS3.
    We can't fix the problem by 'remove unused footage' as this doesn't reduce the project size, although it does remove the unused footage.
    We can't fix it by importing the project into a new clean project as the problem and huge file size just comes with
    We can't fix it by using the project manager to collect up the project as it requires to save before collecting and the problem files can't be saved.
    A couple of points to note - these projects were originally on Premiere CS3 and were upgraded to CS5. The footage is either Sony EX3 or Canon 5D - both HD.
    The machine it's running on has 8gb of RAM.
    Currently the projects I'm working on are gradually grinding to a hold with no way to make the files usable again.
    Any suggestions are greatfully recieved as I'm at a loss. I've reported this to Adobe, and will report back if I get anything useful.
    thanks.

    TClark,
    I'm shocked that you are having the same problem on a mac. This seems to suggest a problem that could be really widespread. You've also beaten my 1.5GB file bloat size.
    What the hell is going on with Premiere Pro? I'm surprised to have heard nothing from Adobe either via my support request or on this forum, save for Jeremys useful work around, considering how serious an issue this is.
    I've had to break all the projects I'm working on which have multiple timelines in each project into a new seperate project per timeline in order to reduce the file bloat problem and reduce the risk of me loosing all my work in one go on a bloated file.
    Adobe - we could do with some help here. It's frustrating to have spent so much money on licences for this software only to have virtually non-existant help when a serious flaw in the software manifests itself.

    Yeah...it's really a bummer that no one is acknowledging it.  It's pretty serious!

  • Problems with Premiere Pro CS5

    Everyone seems to be getting replies to all questions around here so i hope someone can help me out.
    My premiere pro CS5 has decided to act up for the past three weeks: everytime i open an old project, it loads up, opens the project window and timeline, feels like it's all good, but then the spinning wheel appears and all fans go out of control on my macpro, and this process can go on for hours until my only option is to force quit the program, SADLY...
    It's almost as if it's trying to conform all items in the project panel, but it mentions "all media loaded", and there are no dinamic link files to find.
    There are two projects i'm constantly getting back to: one is a 720P poject which contains two timelines, a 30 min one which only has music now, and a 5min timeline with music, go pro footage and rendered HD animations from AE, all at 720P. Opening this project can take up to 40 min where i'm staring at a spinning wheel and hoping for the fans to not explode, that was not the case three weeks ago; I could close everything, shut down for the night and get back to it the next day.
    Second project is a holiday video of Asia which goes for one hour and fifteen min, but it was all shot in 07 with an old Sony DV on standard def of course. Opening this project used to be smooth, even though i often moved things around and had to find them again. But now i want to rework on its sound, noise reduction anf create a nice DVD for my family, but I cannot open the project without having to wait for HOURS, and HOURS and HOURS - the longest being three hours and the spinning wheel was still going and the fans were louder than a lawn mower....
    This never used to happen before and it is worrying me as I started editing a short film in 1080P, so far i can open it nicely, but it may turn into a mess like the other two projects.
    The two projects used to have dinamic link files as i always had after effects and Encore working along PPRO to avoid rendering. At first, i though ADL was the problem for such a slow bootup, so i got rid of every ADL files and rendered instead, which consequently helped me in the process. BUT NOW, it is impossible to open them without a long and frustrating wait.
    If i start a new project, everything is fine and will reopen smoothly - what are your thoughts on the matter guys??? Can a project be too heavy and requires 4 hours to load?...
    I have a quad core MaPro with 32gb of RAM, so this should render and locate files lightning FAST....
    I already reinstalled the whole suit but the problem still happens, i'm thinking about a complete format and reinstalling eveything from scratch...
    thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    Try these steps. Something is definately wrong with your loading times.
    1. Delete PrP preferences (Option - Shift when booting up PrP)
    2. Clean Media caches (Preferences Menu/Media)
    3. Delete preview files
    You dont mention where and on what system your media files are stored. For best performance a raid array is desirable.
    4. Make new sequence and copy timeline from old to new.Do this if the above stuff doesn't help.
    5. Upgrade to 5.5 where a lot of issues has been resolved.

  • 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.

    Although Thunderbolt is available on MBPs, MBPs with Thunderbolt enabled are still signinficantly slower than Windows desktops and laptops with the same CPU. This is, as Harm mentioned, due to their lack of ports offered. Even with Thunderbolt, MBPs are still available only with onboard Intel graphics or AMD/ATi GPUs (which cannot use Premiere Pro CS5.5's MPE GPU acceleration feature at all), and they do not support even two fast hard drives (the only supported fast hard drive on the MBP is the OS drive, and all of the offered external ports on most MBPs are significantly slower than the internal physical transfer speed of the OS drive). A few MBP's come with FW 800 ports, but even those are slower than the internal physical transfer speed of many notebook hard drives.
    And did I mention that all versions of OSX (including the current release) are very poor at multithreading?
    Who needs the FW 800 ports when you can daisy chain up to six devices through the Thunderbolt port?  The MBP has one TB port and the new iMac has two TB ports.  Take a look at these links:

  • Using my JVC BR-DV3000E DVR with Premiere Pro CS5

    I have been testing out the use of my JVC BR-DV3000E DVR (Digital Video Recorder) using a new PC running Windows 7 (64 bit) and Premiere Pro CS5.  The connection is via the firewire cable supplied with the device.  It worked fine on my original PC running Windows XP with Premiere Pro 1.5.1.
    When I open the capture window in CS5 it shows the message "Device Offline" at the top of the capture window and all the transport controls are greyed out. I have played around with the settings but nothing seems to overcome the problem.  I am trying to capture miniDV footage in SD.  Has anyone come across this problem before on either the same device or similar and has anyone any suggestion on how to fil the problem please?

    Try these to see if they work

  • Trial version of Audition CS 5.5 cannot interact with Premiere Pro CS5?

    What is wrong?
    Is it not possible to use PP CS5 with Audition CS5.5?
    Is it not possible in the trial version of Audition?
    Or am I doing something else wrong...?

    Thanks durin for your kind answer.
    Since there is a menu item called "Edit with Audition" it seems as if there at least has been a connection before? So, can I buy/try an earlier version of Audition to make it work?
    I want to test if Audition can remove some background noise that occur in one of my productions, before I buy. If it is possible to try it out in an earlier version , I guess I will also be prepared to upgrade PP, but I wont buy anything without knowing it can solve the issue.
    Reagrds and thanks again,

  • Capturing Troubles with Premiere Pro CS5.5

    Hello!
    I am fairly new to Premiere and I'm having a little trouble with the capturing option.
    I have Premiere Pro CS5.5, a MacBook Pro (13 inch), a Sony HDR-CX 110 camera connected to the MacBook with an HDMI cable and a HDMI displayport adapter.
    I think I have everything I need to get it connected but it seems that whenever I select capture the window that pops up tells me that my device is offline.
    I have a 13 inch MacBook Pro. I bought it in August of 2010. I have a Sony HDR-CX 110 camera. I have it hooked up to a HDMI Displayport adapter via a HDMI cable and the camera is plugged into the wall and turned on playback mode. I know the displayport works because I have a dual monitor set up and the adapter works because I have connected my TV to my Mac so there should be nothing wrong with the adapters and ports. But for some reason the camera doesn't appear to show up whenever I try to do this capturing option.
    The camera's box does say "compatible with iMovie" and I have been able to import footage I collected without the camera plugged in to the computer, such as a guitar performance and an interview. That process was pretty simple and was connected to my computer via a USB.
    Now, I think that maybe I'm just trying to do something more advanced with the camera and the camera can't do it. But if I am wrong (and I hope I am) I don't where to go from here? Any help would be so greatly appreciated!
    Thank you =)

    That will only work if your camera HAS a firewire connection... I think for Mac it is call iLink, but since I'm Win I'm not sure about that
    Just do what was said and copy the folder to your hard drive and import from there

  • Specific Video Footage in Premiere Pro CS5 completely black.

    I've been working on a music video project in Premiere Pro CS5 for the past few months and everything has worked really well until just a few days ago, when a certain chunk of my high speed footage randomly turned black. I have it in its own bin so it's separated from my other video source files. If I try to preview these videos, all it shows is black footage (though the timelengths for each one are still correct). I checked and made sure the actual .avi files on my hard drive still worked, and they played through perfectly. I tried re-importing these videos into my project file and that didn't do anything. I made sure they were connected to the right files in the right folder on my computer, and they were. The rest of my video footage works just fine, so I'm confused why this certain bunch randomly turned completely black.
    I backed up the entire project to an external hard drive and loaded it on a different computer with Premiere Pro CS6 on it, and everything works perfectly again. Does anybody have any idea how I can get my footage to return from the black abyss it's fallen into on my personal computer running CS5?

    AVI is a wrapper... what is inside your wrapper?
