Enabling GPU rendering in Premiere Pro CS3

Hi,
I've just built a computer for dedicated video editing and I am having trouble setting it up with Premiere. It takes a prohibitively long time to render anything.
It's running Windows 7 Home Premium and I've installed my copy of Adobe Premiere Pro CS3.
I've read that I will probably have to configure my computer / Premiere Pro to use the GPU to process the rendering but I don't know how to do this.
Would anyone be able to give me some (really easy to follow) pointers about how to set up and configure my PC to utilise the graphics card for processing?
Many thanks,
Jonny

Premiere Pro CS3-CONSTANT Memory issues when editing/rendering/exporting

Alright, as said in the title I am currently using Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, and my issues are horrendous
No matter what, within 10 minutes of editing, Premiere will warn and then crash because of memory issues, starting with the message:
"Adobe Premiere Pro is running very low on system memory; please save your project and proceed with caution"
Also, whenever I try to export this project, within 800 frames of a 7000 frame project (currently), it displays the message:
"Error Compiling Movie", and then the previous message above if that hasn't already happened before
And eventually, the program will crash out of nowhere, with random windows errors
Here's my specs:
Intel i7 920 Processor
6 GB DDR3 RAM
Nvidia 480 GTX
750 watt power supply
24" Dell Ultrasharp Monitor
Now, I've noticed that whenever Premiere is getting close to crashing, my RAM gets up to around 4.7 GB being used, and then it crashes.
I have already gone into Edit-Preferences and tried switching from Performance to Memory; that hasn't fixed anything
I noticed that when I was just running my video over and over again, it stayed stable at 4 GB or so, so maybe its a rendering issue?
I have already tried lowering my number of processes running at any given time, including my antivirus program (Kaspersky) and even explorer, but it still crashes no matter what.
========================================================================================== ========
This is a SERIOUS issue for me, as even with all the normal crashes I could finish the video; but now I cannot even export my video at ALL without it crashing, and I have a plenty strong-enough computer to handle this, so what gives?
Please help

Ok, well this has been getting me nowhere
I tried importing (both my CTRL-X method, and literally importing the project), and now the program won't even RENDER the footage, it just errors out at 800 frames (just like exporting)
What is going on???
I used to use Premiere Pro 2.0 all the time, on a separate computer, but I have 6 GB of RAM, is this really impossible???
EDIT:
And now, even after finally getting it to render (by saving after rendering before what crashed, and then starting it up and rendering again), all my footage looks like crap XP

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)

Trouble with GPU Acceleration in Premiere Pro CS6 (GTX 670)

I recently bought a new GTX 670 with the hopes that it would accelerate my video editing in Premiere. After using the "nVidia hack" to add it to the list of CUDA supported cards, I started up Premiere, enabled GPU acceleration in the general project preferences window, and was disappointed to find that my performance appeared to be identical to what I had experienced with my non compatible HD 6870s.
When I checked with MSI Afterburner, my GPU usage remained around 0%, even when playing through videos. I'm quite certain that my card was successfully added to the list, so I have no idea what's going on.
Is there any chance that I am misunderstanding what GPU acceleration is supposed to do? I'm very new to Premiere, so I don't know too much about it yet. The reason I bought my new card, aside from improved performance in 3D games, was to allow me to scrub through my project (comprised of 1080p AVI videos captured with FRAPS) without hiccups and poor FPS. Was this not a reasonable expectation for GPU rendering?
Here's a short list of my PC's specs if it's any help:
-Intel i5 2500k (currently not overclocked)
-8GB DDR3 Dual Channel RAM (at 1600MHz)
-1TB 7200RPM HDD
-nVidia GTX 670 OC 2GB VRAM
-Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3 Motherboard
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Did you go to project>project settings>general and verify that GPU (cuda) accleration is enabled? If it's set to software only then change it and see if that helps. If it's enabled my next question is what is the bitrate of your FRAPS videos? Because I have seen some fraps video's with bit-rates that are really high which would require a RAID array that is only holding video clips to playback smoothly. In your case it appears you have your OS and your apps and your footage all playing from the same 7200rpm drive. Which isn't really sufficent for 1080p editing. However it might be as simple as enabling it from within premiere pro like I mention earlier. If it's enabled though please check the bit-rate of your video you're attempting to edit with because I'm assuming that might be the issue.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 3.2.0 update

Thought I'd share a bit of information on the 3.2.0 update that will be coming out via AUM this morning. The update will come out first via AUM, then will be available on the updates page shortly after at http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/?ogn=EN_US-gntray_dl_updates.
The readme will also be hosted at http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/premierepro/releasenotes.html.
Dave Helmly has posted about the update on his blog, as well: http://blogs.adobe.com/davtechtable/2008/04/xdcam_and_premiere_32.html#more
New in this release:
- This update adds compatibility with the Sony XDCAM range of cameras. This includes disc-based XDCAM and XDCAM HD cameras., and the newer SxS-based XDCAM EX cameras. Content from XDCAM cameras can be imported and edited natively without transcoding or conversion. This makes possible similar workflows to Panasonic P2, including the ability to edit content directly from XDCAM EX cameras.
- Note: Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 3.2.0 does not support IMX editing or XDCAM HD50 editing at this time. Export to XDCAM is also not possible.
- Adobe Premiere Pro now has presets for HDV 24p. Note: Adobe Premiere Pro does NOT support print to tape in 24p mode.
- Improved handling of MPEG streams (e.g.: HDV video), along with error detection. MPEG stream errors can occur during recording due to tape dropouts, record start/stop glitches, timecode breaks, etc. Bad frames caused by these MPEG stream errors are identified during import/indexing or playback. These frames will play back as full red frames to alert the user that there is a problem in the encoded video at that location. Adobe Premiere Pro will also log error messages to the Events panel, indicating where the error(s) were encountered in the stream. Users can open the Events panel, determine the location of the MPEG stream error, navigate to that location in the clip and take corrective action, such as trimming out the video glitch or covering up the red frames with duplicated good frames copied from before or after the glitch. Note: MPEG files will need to be re-indexed to take advantage of the improvements in Adobe
Premiere Pro CS3 3.2.0. For more information, please see Working with MPEG Files.
Notable fixes:
- Titles/Footage no longer show up as offline when reloading saved projects.
- Rendered preview files no longer missing when reloading saved projects.
- Certain filters and/or transitions are now applied correctly when reloading saved projects, until the timeline is forcibly refreshed.
- When exporting via the Adobe Media Encoder, there is no longer a long delay before the progress dialog shows and rendering resums (Mac OS 10.5.x only).
- 24p HDV clips shot on a Canon XH A1 no longer come in incorrectly as 30 fps clips.
- Creating an offline clip in the project window then attempting to link it to media on disk no longer results in the application crashing.
- QT PAL movies rendered out of Adobe After Effects® software are no longer incorrectly identified as requiring rendering in a Adobe Premiere Pro PAL project.
- DV Clips of certain specific durations are no longer incorrectly identified on the timeline as requiring rendering.
- For P2 DVCPro clips, the right-most pixel column no longer contains video garbage.
- Fixed a memory fragmentation problem that would occur with projects with many custom bin columns.
- Fixed a bug where exporting to a QuickTime movie (with QT 7.4) would crash the application.
- Selecting "display only exact name matches" when relinking clip no longer crashes on Leopard.
- Fixed an issue where 30p and 30f HDV clips would incorrectly be identified as requiring rendering in a 29.97 progressive project.

Harm,
I don't use HDV, so I'm not sure if this is the case or not, but in the top post, there is mention of having to re-index the MPEG files "to take advantage of the improvements in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 3.2.0." While it seems this should be an automatic process, maybe wiping out the previously-created index files (I seem to remember them being in the Media Cache folder when importing MPG files from DVD rips and such) would let the project open. Or, maybe the old trick of importing an existing project into a new one? Just a couple thoughts...
To the other poster: surely, I don't jest. At least, not when it comes to anything in the video production industry and my operation in it. Long ago, I gave up expecting perfection from any particular piece of hardware or software, and just focused on being creative. That's why I got into this. I refuse to let any piece of equipment dictate what I can or can't do--I just find another way around. Funny how we managed to make it as a species and a civilization as long as we have, and now that computers are here to make our lives easier (*snort*), we're quick to raise our ire about everything that's wrong with them. That's why I will always marvel at things built long ago prior to the advent of all the technology we take for granted today.
Anyway, we're all entitled to our opinions, and I've taken this thread completely off-topic. My apologies, so...

Proxy editing in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3?

Hey all.
I understand proxy editing is a method by which the user does all of his/her editing with lower quality footage, and then all of the edits/effects/transitions/etc are applied to higher quality footage when the project is rendered. Does Premiere Pro CS3 support this feature? If so, how do I use it?

Perhaps, but not in my case. I'm doing my editing on the following rig:
Alienware Area-51 m5790:
Intel Core 2 Duo T7400 (2.16 GHz, 667 MHz FSB, 4 MB L2)
ATI Mobility Radeon X1900 (400 MHz Core / 470 MHz Memory, 256 MB, PCIe)
4 GB (2 x 2 GB) DDR2-667
Western Digital Scorpio Blue (320 GB 5400 RPM SATA)
Western Digital Scorpio Blue (400 GB 5400 RPM SATA)
Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit
It's a laptop, and I'm taking HDV footage from a Canon HV20. It's not terrible at performance... but it's not as snappy as I'd like to see. Hence why I'd prefer to do editing with standard definition clips instead of the HD clips.

Importing AVIs into Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 !!!

Heres what Im trying to do: We have been working on a PC Leitch Velocity Q NLE system for the past couple years and just got 2 new Matrox Axio LE NLEs with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. We are trying to get all our old projects from the Velocity system onto our Matrox systems and not sacrifice any of the video quality. I've been thinking that the best way to do this is by compressing old projects to AVI format from the Velocity system and move them over to the Matrox using an external hard drive.
I was actually able to bring in an AVI from the Velocity system onto the Matrox yesterday using the same Velocity settings below, except that I changed the aspect to 720 x 480 and the audio sample rate to 48,000. When playing the video on the timeline in Premiere the video looked great on my computer monitor but on my external NTSC monitor all motion in the video looked a little jerky as if frames are missing. I tried importing the test clip into both Matrox uncompressed 8-bit and uncompressed 10-bit projects and had the same resulting jerky looking video. Even after rendering the clip the video looked the same. Then I tried exporting the clip to mpeg using the Matrox media encoder but saw no change in the jerky movement. Here are my project and export setting for both systems.
The AVI was made on a PC Leitch Velocity Q NLE system. My project settings on the Velocity system are;
29.97 drop frame
720 x 486 24 Bit
Interlaced field order B
Sub pixel off Cropping off
Audio:
16 sample
44 / samples / second
2 channel
Export settings are; (These are the settings I was trying the first time that didnt work. All I changed the second time was the aspect ratio to 720 x 480 and the audio sampling rate to 48.)
AVI
Frame rate 29.97
720 x 486
No Compression
Color 24 Bits
Field handling interlaced field order B
Audio:
16 sample
Sampling rate 44
2 channels stereo
Do you recommend compressing the video coming out of Velocity?
There are a couple other options other than No Compression in the export dialogue such as: Microsoft H.263 video codec, Microsoft H.261 video codec. I definitely want to maintain the highest quality possible.
Matrox Axio LE project settings
Editing mode: Matrox NTSC
Timebase: 29.97 fps
Video
Frame Size: 720 x 486
Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1 / DV NTSC (0.9)
Fields: Lower field first
Display: Format 30fps Drop Frame Timecode
Audio: Sample 48,000 Hz
Display: Audio sample
Video Rendering: Maximum bit depth is Unchecked
Previews: File format Matrox uncompressed 8-bit NTSC (tried Matrox uncompressed 10-bit too.)
I think the jerky video might be due to dropping frames but Im not sure.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

While it seems that the field order is consistent, I have seen issues where converting from clips that change field order creates this sort of problem. This is particularly obvious when converting from MJPEG codecs like Meridien or Miro/Pinnacle to DV.
What happens if you just import the files into Premiere and let it do the rendering to the project settings?

Workaround: Premiere Pro CS3 & Adobe Audition 3.0

I'm not sure if this was already posted, but I discovered a little workaround to use both apps, in a similar way that Premiere Pro 2 and Adobe Audition 2 work together. Just make sure you have soundbooth installed too, and do these steps:
Adobe Bridge:
-Open Adobe Bridge
-Click in Edit > Preferences (or Press "Ctrl + K")
-Click in File Type Associations, and select the audio files like .wav, .mp3 or the format you'll edit in AA3, click in the down arrow and then Browse
-Point to the Audition.exe file in the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Audition 3.0\
-Click OK and close Bridge
Now open the Premiere Pro CS3:
-Right click the audio track / piece you want to edit, select Edit in Adobe Soundbooth > Render and Replace
-It will render a temp file and open Soundbooth, you can close it now and come back to Premiere Pro CS3
-In the left window, where the audio and video files are placed in Premiere, right click in the new audio file that was rendered and Click Reveal in Bridge. It will open the Adobe Bridge window now.
-Right click in the file (in the Bridge window) and select Open with > Adobe Audition 3.0 (default).
-Be happy and edit the track in Adobe Audition now! When you save the file and come back to Premiere pro, it will re-render automatically and you wont touch your original source audio file!
I hope this helps a little the people who wants to use AA3 and Premiere Pro CS3, and if it was already posted, sorry for the incovenience!

Audition is Windows-only. PPro CS3 was ported to the Mac. The suite needs consistency across platforms. Do the math.
Audition 3 is available. Edit Original works. Use that.
Try the Soundbooth CS4 beta. Closer to Audition than ever before.

Premiere Pro CS3: bad video quality when exporting for YouTube

Hi!
I'm a newbie to this forum and yes, I've looked for an answer before posting. I'm also pretty new to Premiere Pro and I hope that the problem I'm having is more my fault than Premiere's (it most likely is.)
I have project, a little YouTube-Video. But whenever I export it, the quality is really poor. I've also tried rendering it with Windows Movie maker and, strangely enough, the quality is much better and closer to the original file. My big question is: what am I doing wrong?
Here are some additional info:
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3
Windows 7 Professional, 32 Bit (PC)
The movie file was shot with a Sony DSC-W170 and is an .mpg file
Video:
640x480
10418kBit/s (total: 10483 kBit/s)
30fps
Audio:
64kBit/s
Mono
32kHZ
Project settings: DV-Pal
Standard-PAL-Video (4:3 Interlaced).
48 kHz (16 Bit) Audio
I used the Adobe Media Encoder for the export, H.264/YouTube. I've also tried several other settings, but I never get as good a result as with the Windows Movie maker. Can anyone please tell me how I can fix this? (Maybe the quality of the video already suffers when I import the files into Premiere Pro? The video in the source and the cutting window is very blurry.)
Here you can see for yourself what it looks like:
File rendered with Adobe Premiere CS3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTAyx6O27Dg
File rendered with Windows Movie Maker: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVeoUOfM_uo&feature=youtu.be
I hope somebody can help me. If you need additional info which I haven't provided, ask away. Thank you so much in advance for your replies!

YT is set to privet.
Keep project settings and export settings same as camera.
Try H.264 (mp4) for export instead.

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.

Premiere Pro CS3 Encoding Error

I'm supporting an end user who has been using Premiere Pro CS3 for years to develop and encode videos on their computer.
Recently, they have been experiencing an issue with one particular project they're been attempting to encode. The project is nothing out of the ordinary, various video and audio files, a little bit of text. They're trying to encode the project down to an MPEG2 format for burning to a DVD.
The problem occurs about 20%-30% through the second pass of rendering. Premiere Pro will give an application error, stating that memory referenced cannot be "written". The program then shuts down and the attached Event Viewer log is written. I've done research, but haven't found any items relating to these errors.
The only major change that I know of on his computer was that Adobe After Effects was installed recently. I don't know the version level of After Effects installed.
Premiere is up-to-date. The user demonstrated the ability to encode other projects, both larger and smaller, without issue. All of the files been used as part of the problem project have been used in the past without issue. I'm having the user deconstruct their project to try to identify any layers or files that may be causing the problem. Rather than go through that tedious tasks, I'm hoping someone has an idea of what's going on.

If the project have captured video, this problem can be caused by defective capture. Frames of captured video can have compression problems even not having any apparent defect when they are showed. Since some compressions are inter frames, the compression can have defects during the capture. the funny is, the appearance of those frames can look like normal (since human eye cant see and scan those thousands/millions of pixels one-by-one and detect which one is defective).When you are about to encoding it, or "trancode" it, the change from a defective compressions to a mpg2 DVD for example make the program crash.
If thats the case, u can check in which frame Prem crashes, get the clip to AE and re-export it to a completely diferent format and compression, them replace the Premiere clip by the new one.

How to change the stage size in premiere pro cs3?

Can anyone tell me, how to change the stage size of video in premiere pro cs3?
Actually my video is cutting(dimensional preview) while rendering...it is not showing full view...so I want full preview of that video after rendering.

Hi,
First of all thanks for your quick reply...I tried what you said, but the size is not changing because the area is inactive...
Please see the attached file for more clarification.

Jumpy preview, render and export why? (Premiere Pro CS3)

Hi guys, When I try to import a small video that I took in my Sony CyberShot Camera DSC-S600 (in avicodec) it says my video is:
MPG1 = MPEG1 (VCD).
Resolution = 640 x 480 25fps.
If I just import that video, drag it to the timeline (below), and press ENTER, It will start rendering it without any effect that I've made, and in the playback it will like jump some frames in and out (some in reverse and then forward).
Also If i just import the video and make a playback, it will do the same, if I playback the video outside the premiere pro cs3 it will run just fine as it should be.
My computer is a A64 3800+ 4GB RAM DDR2 800mhz, GF7600 gt 256mb is my video card.
(the video I'm importing is only 16mb).
Part of the video can be located in youtube, (see link).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_73D3Rdbqk
It was saved in avi, then uploaded to youtube.
please help me.

> "...much anything that "also does" video really isn't the right tool for the job..."
If the camera video can be converted to Pro video, then it can be considered "the right tool." Jim, there are a plethora of situations where a compact still camera that shoots video is the right tool. It's your subjective definition of "the right tool" that begs up on an old paradigm. A fictional character, McGyver, never seemed to have the right tool for the job. In fact, the entire idea of invention is to create
i or adapt
the right tool for the job.
That the misinformed come here with questions does not relate. Many more are informed, take the appropriate steps and proceed to tell the story. And move people. Or get paid.
For example: I use a still camera that also shoots video as a tennis instruction tool: A one hour tennis lesson involves recording the various tennis strokes, performing a few quick edits, and placing the results on DVD for the student(s). According to you, I should bring a tripod, a bulky mini-dv video camera, etc. I should take the time to set up the equipment, before my students arrive. I should also take time to move the tripod to capture the various different angles. After the lesson, I should take time (excuse me, real-time) to capture the mini-dv into Ppro and edit.
To me, the video camera is the wrong tool for this job. Instead, I whip out the still camera that also shoots video, walk around to get the angles, shoot the specific strokes requested. Oh-and as a perk, I can take several high resolution still photographs, with a single knob turn. Back in the studio, I dump the clip files on the timeline, w/o real time capture. And I edit.
Students love the video (they don't care/can't tell about the reduced quality--they're interested in their strokes), and they
i also
appreciate the stills.
If I were doing documentary or broadcast, a still camera that also shoots video would be a poor choice indeed. But, here, I'd be stupid to bring both kinds of cameras. However, before the CEs intervened and created just the right tool, I had to bring both. And I hated it.
It's a paradigm shift, Jim. You might not be able to understand it if you suffer from perceptualsclerosis.
And now the CEs have my mouth watering, with EX-F1. Blur the line.

Premiere pro CS3 workspace jitters

Help required,
I have an issue with Premiere pro & After Effects CS3, the workspace jumps & the various workspace windows become jumbled.
It only happens on these programs & is does not affect the desktop.
Although the program still functions perfectly, capture,rendering& various export commands are not affected, work flow is disrupted with pop-up windows disappearing requiring going back to the rout menu to start over.
I believe I have all the latest drivers/service packs & have recently upgraded the graphics card to Quadro 1800 but the issue remains.
system;
Windows XP
Premiere pro CS3
After Effects CS4
Quadro FX 1800 card.
any advice would be much appreciated as I do not have much hair left.

I have a Microsoft mouse and NO added drivers, just the default in WinXp, and everything works as it should
As far as I know, you only need to install mouse drivers IF you have a mouse with special functions
Anyway, good that things are working for you... now, while they are, make a full boot drive backup to external media
I do, and have been able to restore everything after a hard drive crash... what I use is at
