External Monitor Premiere CS4

When I used to use Premiere 6.5 I used a Matrox Capture Card RT 2500 and with that I could see what the video was doing on this external monitor, actually an old Commodore 1701, works really well by the way. I have 6 of them mostly free but the most I paid was $10 for one. Works as well as a Sony Monitor!
Anyway to my point, I had to upgrade my computer for editing and it came with a 1394 firewire and a ATI Ratheon HD 2400 Pro.
The outputs on the video card are 15 pin for my computer monitor and a SUPER-V out. If I use the S-V all I get is a scrambled screen on my Commodore. When I hook up to a ext. monitor all I get is something that doesn't look like it is synced or the modulation is off.
What do I need to do here. I don't like using just  the Pro program to watch the scrubbing or playback. Thanks for any help.

Using the firewire camera is definitely the right answer, and is how I've done it since 1996. However, I've not been able to monitor HDV through my camera unless its a low resolution preview.
I've been thinking of getting one of these:

Has anyone used these?
I have a sizable screen for viewing, (I know, its ridiculous) but nothing to drive it at full res.

  • No playback to external monitor Premiere CC

    Hello all ~
    Mid-job (and of course now that I need to color correct), PP CC has stopped exporting video to my external monitor.  I have tried trashing prefs (holding Shift+Opt at start-up) and it doesn't do the trick.  In looking around, I've noticed people having this problem when using some BlackMagic cards, but my monitor is plugged directly into the Thunderbolt connector of my MacBook Pro. I've enclosed my Playback settings. 
    Oddly enough, when I fire up my old copy of PP CS6 it plays back to my external monitor just fine.
    I've had had enough late-night edits that I may have inadvertently initiated some keystroke that changed a setting, but I can't think of what that would be or why a Preference Trash wouldn't reset it.   Any help greatly appreciated.  Thanks much.

    Well, after much poking and prodding I found out what happened and how to fix it.  If you look at the picture below, you can see that there is a row of razor-thin pixels pushing into my external monitor.  So basically what happened was that I resized the window and thought that I had dragged it completely onto my main monitor, but my Program Monitor and Timeline were still ever-so-slightly overlapping onto my external monitor.  When I moved them fully onto my main monitor, the video on my external monitor reappeared.
    HOWEVER ( ! ), this does beg the question of why this problem remained as I did reset my editing workspace, I did trash preferences and I did do a complete uninstall/reinstall of PP CC... and still had the same problem.  Shouldn't  any one of those processes have put things back to where they were supposed to be? Where are these residual settings being stored, and how can you get rid of them if even a complete reinstall won't do the trick? 
    Would have saved a lot of time if they had worked as advertised.  Happy to be up and running (and color correcting) though and hope this can help others who might be having the same problem.

  • Premiere Pro Multi-Cam Angles on External Monitor

    On Mac OS 10.10.3 with a Blackmagic Intensity Pro and Premiere Pro CC 8.2...
    Is there a way to show multi-cam angles on an external monitor connected to the intensity via HDMI? Enabling "multi-cam" in my timeline only shows the angles on my computer, not the external monitor. The external monitor only shows the active angle.
    The feature is available in FCP7 with the click of a button --> show multicam angles.

    One editor's huge oversight is another editors yawn, of course. But for those like yourself doing much multi-cam with clients looking over their shoulder, yes, this would be a biggie. And you'll not find any disagreement about wanting it. So ... how about filing a bug/feature report about this? The teams actually do quantify these over time, and the bean counters look at these numbers as part of the logic of where they allow budget for changes/fixes to be allocated. So the more filed the better chance we'll get something like this changed.

  • Can I have a dedicated external monitor in Premiere CS5/CS5.5 using two nVidia GPUs?

    Hi there one and all.
    I have a new Windows 7 64bit system and I am trying to work out if I can use my 2nd graphics card in a way to give me a dedicated external monitor output when using Premiere CS5.5? (and After Effects too if thats possible???)
    My cards I have are the nVidia MSI GTX 470 and I have the choice of either my old nVidia 8800GT or old nVidia Quadro FX3700.
    I can hook up 4 monitors as a desktop no problem, but I do not know if or how it is possible to display my Premiere timeline on the external monitor as a dedicated connection? If not do I maybe need something like the Black Magic Intensity/Shuttle card or Matrox Mini?
    Any help would be very greatly appreciated.
    Thanks - Bradley

    Thanks Harm for such a quick response! much appreciated.
    I see you said a GTX 450 would work to give the dedicated external monitor, does this mean that my poor old 8800GT has finally dried up in terms of helping my system or is it possible to use this card to provide a source monitor for Premiere?
    With regards to the setting up of the 2nd card to not use the Hardware MPE, is this set from within premiere?
    Thanks again!

  • External Monitor for HD workflow in Premiere Pro 5.5 Windows

    I´m looking in the Adobe forums for information about previewing HD video from Premiere to an external monitor, and the only options I´ve found is either connect the camera or use SD via 1394.
    Some years ago I used to have a Matrox card RT.X2 with breakout box that had a 1440x1080 output with limitations, and then changed to Nvidia Quadro in CS5, much better performance with CUDA, but I lost the possibility of seeing the content of the program monitor in the external Monitor.
    I guess there must be somebody selling cards for this purpose, I´ve seen comments (AJA, Matrox, etc) but there all seem to have lots of problems, so I´d like to know if anybody has succeded in joining Quadro 4000 to another piece of hardware that works on Windows
    Thanks

    If you have one monitor for editing, then you can use the second monitor connection on your video card to steer the second monitor.
    If you use a dual monitor setup and need previews on a third monitor, you can use one of the following options:
    1. A second video card that uses the same driver as your primary video card.
    2. A third party option like Black Magic Intensity or Matrox, but usually their drivers cause some problems.
    3. Limit yourself to SD quality and feed the third monitor over firewire.
    4. Forget about hardware MPE and use an ATI Eyefinity card.
    nVidia cards may have three connectors at the back, but ONLY two can be active at the same time. From that perspective option 1 is the least troublesome.

  • Can Premiere Pro display multiclip angles via transmit to an external monitor?

    Hello Forum,
    Is it possible to have the angle view of multicamera viewable via transmit to an external monitor?  (via Blackmagic Intensity Pro)
    Currently, it only displays the active angle.
    Thanks all!

    I've seen informational programs on working in an editing/grading suite with clients, even to doing so with say a client and the editor on one continent, and the colorist on another continent, with screen-sharing programs. Setting up to do that they had one monitor for their basic controls, a program monitor, and a larger (and spendy) b-cast quality monitor for the person running the station, and another monitor set to the side that could be switched to either show the b-cast monitor signal or program monitor OR the basic controls, depending on what they needed to show to the client. And this one was typically a calibrated but nowhere near as expensive monitor as the "working" monitors.

  • External Monitoring...how is it for you and what for the future (CS5)

    With the prospect of CS5 on the horizon and many of us considering it as the opportunity to up spec O.S,, software and hardware simultaneously (largely due to 64-bit)...I am wondering how everyone is getting on with their external monitoring solutions and what the expectation is for CS5.
    In my opinion the way it is now (in CS4) is less than professional and needs sorting out (hopefully in CS5).
    Issues are : Video / audio / synching internal and external devices so all play together.
    Premiere Pro runs two playback / preview systems : One for scrubbing and source monitoring;  the other for Program playback /preview.
    (Example : Observe how and when audio plays through the audio mixer or observe what and when video plays through external or internal monitor...then note what happens when you PUSH PLAY - spacebar)
    Without repeating the problems in depth, I would like to say how I wish it worked for me as an editor in a Pro environment with clients that  sit in my suite as we work together.
    I have  a two monitor NLE set up plus one external for client viewing (and also for grading /CC).
    I need the External Monitor (Video & Audio)  and the Internal Monitor (Video and Audio) to playdown together.  I dont want one to stop and the other to function.
    I want them both working simultaneously playing video and audio.  Am I supposed to get out of my chair to wander over to the client monitor to see the changes we just discussed then I actioned in the timeline?  !!!!!!
    A feature request : I would also like to be able to access the Playback Monitoring via Shortcut keys or On Screen buttons.  It is very handy to be able to playback on the second monitor  but it should be defaulted at 100% (Not Fit - as per the Program Monitor)
    As regards HD.  One should not have to install 3rd Party cards to monitor HD externally.  The problem with that is one then needs to use the Presets from that card manufacturer.  The Presets , eg P2 work so well in PPRO...so why do we need to mess with 3rd party drivers just to monitor.

    Exactly!
    I just like to let people know where is the origin of that shortcut (in previous CS editions it was in PROJECTS menu bar tab, and since CS4 it is in SEQUENCE menu bar tab....
    I was trying to figure out what do you thing my "atom like button" )))
    Finally figured out that it is the RGB icon (which is more the molecule then atom), but you gave me a hard time looking for atom!!! I thought it is in 3rd place, somewhere, as well - but "Atom" almost remained misteri
    Anyway, interestingly enough, I just succeeded in getting my picture out on EXTERNAL CRT monitor through DV-monitoring in playback settings - FireWire through my scope (deck) and to TV....
    And picture appeared.... But stood still.... Wouldn't move.... except when scrubbing... But when press PLAY it froze both on external DV monitor and  PPRO program monitor in software!!!
    Maybe it is my old ATI 3850 HD VGA - and maybe it just can't work!!!!
    This pisses me off a bit!!!
    I have unpacked copy of new AVID MEDIA COMPOSER 5 - which I have decided not to install until I am through with searching all new possibilities in CS5....
    But now, I feel more and more like opening and installing it ----- Just to see how is it managed there!!!
    It is hard for me ---- even to think to leave ADOBE ------ it is already enough that 80% of my Clients first ask me "DO YOU HAVE AVID".... and then, to half of them I somehow explain that it is gonna be better if we give ADOBE a chance, and the other half is just hard on their flexibility --- they've heard everything in Hollywood is edited in AVID, so they want their project to be the same....
    And I was having a real hard time defending PPRO for years, preventing my Clients to make me switch to AVID - and look what ADOBE did to me now - ADOBE made me reach for my AVID MC v5 and install it and have it ready to take over any project, including the one I am working on right now!
    Why, Adobe, Oh, Why!?

  • Monitoring via 2nd / external monitor

    Is there a way to have playback to a second / external monitor?
    It seems like an obvious feature for an on-set tool, but I can't seem to find it. I have one monitor facing me with the main program controls, and a second monitor which would face the client / director and just show the video that is either being captured or played back. It would be similar in concept to the playback settings in Premiere, where you can have it use a video overlay to take over another monitor or external DV device to make it a fullscreen playback feed.
    I also tried working around this by using Premiere's capture for the same effect. No dice. Premiere only allows it in timeline playback, not capture.
    Anyone?
    Thanks very much in advance.

    OnLocation CS4 does not support sending video out to a second monitor. You're far from the first to request it, so rest assured that that capability is on our radar. I'll add a vote for you.

  • External monitor preview not working in CS5

    Well its taken almost a month to get my Production premium suite CS5 working (exit code 7 install error) I finally reinstalled win7 pro after dicking with adobe tech support for weeks (they did try to be helpful and polite) and that "cured" the install problem so now I see that the external monitor preview still dosent work as in CS4....anyone know what gives? mine dosent work even if I set to external audio either. After effects-encore and Photoshop external firewire previews all work fine so I know its a bug in Premiere...anyone logged this yet?.On a VERY positive note I absolutely love the "solidity" of Premiere ....I invested in a Quadro fx3800 and well its a beautiful thing really.....is it odd to be in love with hardware and software
    cheers y'all
    steve

    this is a well known limitation of the current CUDA drivers. Adobe is hard at work with Nvidia to solve this, but the work around is to set MPE to software in your project settings. It has high priority AFAIK.
    Wow thanks Harm that was the workaround for now ....brilliant
    cheers

  • If I buy an external monitor (with a res of 2560x1440) will my early 2011 MacBook Pro work ok? And will it be utilising the monitors full res or not?

    Hi,
    I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro. I use Premiere Pro CS5 to video edit on. It's fine but when it comes to grading it's nearly impossible on such a small screen.
    I'd like to buy a 27inch external monitor (Asus, Samsung, Dell, whatever - haven't decided yet) for when I'm editing at work (which is most days). My query is regarding the resolutions. Obviously my MacBook Pro displays a resolution of 1280x800, so if I buy a monitor with a resolution of 2560x1440 for example, what gets displayed?
    And also does the connecting cable make any difference? For example, if I'm connecting by Thunderbolt out to HDMI, then an HDMI to HDMI cable to the external monitor, what happens then? Or should I be using a Mini Display Port to Display Port connecting lead?
    I guess all I really want to know is, will it work? But also, am I wasting my money buying an external monitor with a 2560x1440 resolution? Should I just go for one that's the same res at my MacBook Pro?
    I've never really understood how these things all work!
    Thanks in advance for anyones help.
    Regards,
    Phil   

    I think it will work.  You would need a mini displayport to (single link) DVI adapter to hook up that monitor.
    Not sure what kind of problems you had with the ViewSonic but I'm guessing the Dell is probably a better monitor anyhow.

  • CS5 Playback Settings grayed out and no longer can set playback on external monitor.

    I like to view my projects while editing on an external monitor but the Playback Settings are grayed out. I've done all my prior projects with external monitor display enabled with no problems and can go back to a prior projects completed and view them using an external playback monitor.  For some reason, the Playback Settings on my latest project are grayed out and I'm not able to set Desktop Video Display During Playback.
    The last project worked on was about 3 months ago. Last week, I started working on two new projects and noticed that I wasn't able to set playback to my external monitor. All my devices are hooked up and I can review older projects on the external monitor but can't set two new projects to use display on the external monitor.  
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Problem solved. My fault.
    The Sequence Preset Settings selected must support the device the external monitor is connected to. In my case, IEEE 1394 firewire. I corrected the new project to the correct Sequence Settings and can now view playback on the external monitor.

    http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/press/pressdetails?releaseID=42319
    "The Desktop Video 9.7.5 software update allows users to take advantage of many new features in the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop applications such as powerful new editing timelines and shortcuts and audio mixing with Adobe Premiere Pro® CC and new creative and visual effects tools with Adobe After Effects® CC."
    So everything should be covered on that front. And as I listed, I was getting playback out of AE CC, so I feel it is solely an issue in Premiere. That was worth checking out though since CC is so new. Thanks for replying.

  • Premiere CS4 Does Not Correctly Export Quicktime

    Hello,
    When CS4 initially came out, all of the Quicktime exports were messed up. Now after several patches it still seems that it is not completely correct. I have rendered out of a 3d app sequential images with a white background and an alpha channel. When I import these into Premiere, when the alpha channel is disabled for the clip, it correctly shows a white background in the monitor. But when I export this clip to Quicktime Animation and turn on 32 bit depth, it creates the clip with an alpha channel, but when the alpha channel is disabled on the clip, it renders the background still as black, but with no alpha. It should render it as white. Quicktime Animation clips created this way with other Quicktime exporting software does not do this, and so I believe this is a bug. Where can this be logged?
    thx

    It's not a problem with Quicktime, but rather Premiere CS4 because other apps can create the same thing correctly, using the Quicktime Animation codec.
    thx

  • Premiere Cs4 handle CPU...performance...and idiot questions

    Ok, i tried to read as much as i could, performance threads about Premiere Cs4...but couldn't help it.
    So i upgraded to Production Premium Cs4 before 2 weeks...
    I've noticed all the problems that were mentioned...what i can't understand is the LOW PERFOMANCE in export or preview
    my system runs a QUAD 6600 with 8gbs RAM, NVIDIA 8800GT and XP64...
    after effects runs fine in almost maximum CPU (if you adjust it in preferences), but premiere (that means and ABOBE MEDIA encoder) exports in 5-20% of the CPU...if you try to encode with TMPGEnc processes go much faster and cpu is quite high...
    question 1) (yes i know i am dumb...)
    exporting speed has to do with footage, type of media that is being exporting and GPU??????
    2)is my system, just not enough???
    3)Premiere CS4 cannot handle multicore anyway...and every user here has the same problems??????
    Sometimes...i think that i will do BAD things in my PC when PREMIERE is SO SLOW and i am in such hurry...Someone...coould answer? before i start taking drugs????????????????
    A Straight answer 1) ,2) ,3) would be really nice for my emotional condition...

    Roger thank you very much!
    It is now starting to make sense. I have only run it once and not tried any other tricks yet (like trying to use the Source from the RAID array rather than from the C: drive)
    Now rather than taking 130 seconds for encoding it is down to 25 seconds versus 8 seconds for CS3. I suspect that at least some of that is because they are using the C: drive for the source.
    MPEG encoding has also a major improvement by using the rendered preview files and as matter of fact it reduced the MPEG encoding time from 75 seconds (CS3) to 57 seconds (CS4)! Maybe we will have to go back to suggesting rendering the timeline before any encoding.
    One other plus for CS4 is that the rendering is much smarter in that any duplicate segments are rendered only one time.
    Why do they hide these menus with such tiny hard to find icons? I had a similar problem finding a playback option for my second monitor.

  • Can't connect to external monitor (possibly after Yosemite update)

    I have recently updated my macbook pro to Yosemite. My external monitor (samsung 1080p tv) would connect fine using a hdmi before, but now its unresponsive. I have been into adobe premiere pro CC and been onto preferences > playback > then ticked my monitor but still no luck. I can't remember using the monitor since updating to Yosemite until now so im guessing this is what is the problem as was fine on mavericks. Any ideas? Thanks

    Basically I have the same issue. I also suspected a software update (though I am using Mavericks). However, it does play with an older version of Adobe Premiere (CS 6). So I suspect that one of the manny updates to CC broke the connection. It's an important part of my workflow, so let me know if you find out anything. I don't have a solution right now.

  • Strange issue with external monitor, only working when external speakers plugged in (using Thunderbolt to VGA adaptor)

    Hey – I am having a very strange issue with my external monitor; where it only works if my external speakers are plugged in and connected.
    I am using a late 2011 Macbook pro, running Mavericks 10.9.4, along with an MBox 2 (USB Audio Interface), and two powered speakers (KRK Rokit 5). This setup has had no issues. I have just acquired an external monitor (Benq T2200HD), which I am using with a thunderbolt to VGA adaptor (a cheap Chinese knockoff adaptor).
    To start - I plugged the monitor in with the thunderbolt adaptor, and it powers up and works fine. However, there is a nasty buzz coming from the speakers. I did some research and it looks like a simple ground loop issue. I did a bit of troubleshooting, and this is where things get weird.
    What I found is - If I unplug the MBox, the monitor loses signal from the computer (displaying ‘No Signal Detected!’). Further, if I keep the MBox plugged in, however unplug both the cables from the MBox to the speakers, the monitor loses signal. It doesn’t matter if the speakers are turned off, however they need to be plugged in (or the monitor loses signal). Weirder still, I can unplug the MBox, however the monitor will work if I plug in the speakers through my macs headphone jack.
    Simply put, the monitor only works if there is a direct connection between the computer, the speakers, and the power source.  What is going on here? Is the monitor grounding through the computer port, to the speakers (I don’t know how this works, is this possible?). Could it somehow be the cheap VGA adaptor I am using?
    Some other information:
    - Everything is plugged into the same multi-box for power. I have tried plugging things into separate sources, and the result is the same.
    - If I unplug the thunderbolt adaptor, then the speaker noise disappears straight away.
    - The ground noise doesn’t appear in my headphones, which are plugged into the MBox.
    Any information would be great – am I missing something here, or is this genuinely weird?

    Well, I went back into Best Buy to test on 3 other laptops (2 Asus, and their floor model for this Sony). It seems to be doing the same problem so at least I was able to rule out broken hardware issue on my particular laptop.
    Here's what I did to test:
    Since I couldn't really install Adobe Premiere on their machines, I used the DVIO software (http://www.carr-engineering.com/dvio.htm) and a 5 min clip I captured.  I transferred onto their machines, hooked up my Sony D8, and attempted to play the video.  It would play for 15 seconds and then stop and jitter with a loud noise (like it does on my laptop).  I even tried changing each machine's firewire driver to the legacy one and same results.  I pulled a brand new 4 pin to 4 pin firewire cable off their shelf and still the same problem.
    I think I've nailed it down to Win7x64 bit Home Edition not playing nice with Firewire driver.  Very annoying.  I can't find any concrete evidence of this from other users on any of the forums that have my particular problem, but from my own testing, it's all I can conclude.
    I have 2 other things I can try:
    1.  Opening the laptop and looking at the firewire to maybe find appropriate driver (ugh, I don't want to have to open this thing up).
    2.  Upgrading to Win7x64bit Pro and possibly testing with XP on the new MS Virtual PC (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/).  I can't do it with my Home edition apparantly.
    Who needs to view video on an external TV anyways....sheeesh...(scarcasm).
