Ati 7950 Card and Premiere Pro CC

I see this card is not on Adobe's list of supported cards. can anyone from Adobe tell me if it is likely to be supported and Is anyone here using it with CC and if so how is it performing?
We can't easily get the Mac version of the GTX 680 card here in the UK so if PPRo could use Open CL with the Ati 7950 it would be very useful!

Hi Steve,
Though I can't speak to if/when the 7950 will be supported I can tell you (and you may already know this) that you can enable the Mercury Playback Engine with the 7950 in Premiere Pro CC. It won't be enabled by default but you can simply change the renderer from Software to GPU in the general settings.
I'll let others speak to the performance.
All the best,

Premiere Pro CS3 on Sony Vaio - performance question

I am running an older VAIO PCV-RX770 P4 2.2 Ghz, 1Gb RAM, ATI RADEON 9550 256 Mb graphics card with Premiere Pro CS3 newly installed. I have attached a new Seagate FreeAgent 500 Gb external drive that I have all my Source Files on. My question is this: Is there any tweaks that I can perform to this machine to make it run as as fast as possible. All drivers are up to date and all drives constantly de-fragged. When I do Start, Run, MSCONFIG, my startup tab is pretty clear, only a few things running - AGRMMSG, khooker, point32, RUNDLL32, ccApp, cfmon, ColorVision Startup. I wonder about the SERVICES tab - can anyone tell me what apps(without me listing them all here) that I can safely "disable"(if at all) here? I see the "hide all Microsoft Services" box and when checked, the list becomes smaller. When I checked the Microsoft box and then "disabled" all the rest, Premiere wouldn't start. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanx, Eric.

There are a couple of Adobe Technical Support Documents (links are in the WIki) that cover optimizing Windows for PPro. They will probably help you.

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.

Ideal Computer and Capture hardware for Premiere Pro CS3

I'm working with Premiere Pro CS3 and want to build a new computer based on the AMD platform. I'm currently looking at the AMD Phenom 9850, AMD's newest Quad-Core processor. I'm looking at pairing it with 4GB of DDR2 1066 Memory, a 1GB PCI-E x16 Video card with 4 DVI and 1 HDMI outputs, 2TB SATA 3.0GBs 7200 RPM Hard drives in a striped/mirrored RAID array, all running on one of Gigabyte's newest AM2+ mobos. I'll be running XP Pro SP3. I think I've got the computer locked down, unless anyone's got some insight for me into the specs on it. Also, does Premiere Pro CS3 take advantage of Vista's 64-bit yet? I hate Vista with a passion, but if I'll get significant performance increase from it, then I'll make the migration.
My big question is this: what's Adobe's recommended capture hardware? Budget isn't necessarily a consideration and I'd love something that's got HD-SDI BNC I/O in addition to the standard composite, YCrBr, and DV I/O. I'd also like something that has good pro-audio I/O integrated. Ideally something that would include multiple analog I/O via 1/4" or XLR as well as digital I/O via ADAT lightpipe and AES/EBU. BNC wordclock I/O would be nice too.
Any recommendations? I'm fairly new to the video world, though I've been in the pro audio business for ten years.
Thanks in advance!

>2TB SATA 3.0GBs 7200 RPM Hard drives in a striped/mirrored RAID array
For video, RAID 3 is your best option, found primarily on Areca cards.
For the kind of ins & outs you're looking for, I think the Matrox Axio will be your only option. That's ain't cheap, though.

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.
Keep Smiling

I Reinstalled Premiere Pro CS3, loaded a project I edited using CS3, and NOW I get jagged edges!

Hey everyone. I was using Premiere Pro CS3 to edit some footage I shot with my HPX170 in 1080i 24p Advanced. The P2 footage looked great in Premiere CS3. I upgraded to Premiere CS5, imported the same exact project into CS5 using the same 1080i 24p Advanced setting, and I got jagged stair stepping edges on the objects that were in sharp focus in my footage. Okay, I thought, I'll just reinstall Premiere Pro CS3 and continue editing the footage in CS3 since it looked normal in CS3 with no jagged edges. But, to my surprise, I'M GETTING THE SAME EXACT THING NOW IN PREMIERE PRO CS3!!!! What in the heck is up with that? How can the footage look normal when I imported and editied it before in CS3 and NOW I get jagged stair stepping edges?!!!! I even tried importing a fresh clip from the footage and that clip still has the jagged stair stepping edges. This makes no sense whatsoever! Does anyone know what's going on with this? It seems like an interlace artifact problem BUT, if that's the case, why didn't it do this the first time in Premiere Pro CS3? And trust me, I would have noticed right away if it did!

Hey Shooternz. Which exact playback settings are you asking about? I set the one of the playback settings to "Highest Quality" instead of "Automatic" and nothing changed. I unchecked 24p Pulldown in the "Interpret Footage" section and nothing changed (I don't even remember "24p Pulldown" being in the Interpret Footage section the first time I installed CS3, which is strange. Was that added in an update?). I tried different sizes like HD 1.5, HD 16:9, etc. in the Interpret Footage section and the jaggies are still there. Nothing seems to work. ??? This is weird because they weren't there the first time I edited the footage in CS3 when I installed CS3 the first time. One thing I noticed is, when I installed CS3 the second time and loaded the project, as the project was loading, I got a message that said something like "These project settings cannot be loaded. We will now switch to Desktop Mode." Would that have something to do with it you think?

Premiere Pro CS3 and Panasonic P2 (Win XP)

Hi everyone,
since last week I had no problem editing various footage with Premiere Pro CS3.
My problems has begun when I received a Panasonic P2 footage for editing.
Of course is not possible to import it into CS3!
Reading here and there, I found a news about the 3.1 update with Panasonic suport.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/3.0/help.html?content=WS55AC98C1-D132-486c-AB6 D-A937E5EC64A4.html
Yes. It is on the Adobe website.
But....
"OK, the 3.1 (P2 support) update is now available, for both Win and Mac, on the download site"....?!?!?
I didnt' find it. Of Course there is only CS5!
Who cares CS3 anymore?
ME!!!
ah,ah,ah
If anyone has ideas or advices...please, please...let me know!
P.S....possible no one is considering an Editing PC Machine NOT connected to Internet? Is it so strange?

Found this in about 5 seconds with Google.

Audio in Premiere Pro CS3 appears on one PC, not the other

Hi everyone,
I'm the Network Administrator for a high school and we have a digital media lab here using Adobe Creative Suite 3: Master Collection. All systems here are running Windows XP Professional and are on a Windows domain. All users are standard users, with no administrative rights for obvious security reasons. When I originally did the deployment of the lab by running sysprep on a reference computer and using ghost to deploy the rest of the computers, I noticed a problem with Premiere Pro CS3 after the deployment. In that lab, none of the computers would capture video via firewire and the built in capture function in Adobe Premiere CS3. I believe I have a post about this on these forums that was never resolved. To get around this, I'd capture the footage for students in my office and then transfer it over to their network drives so they could import it into Premiere Pro CS3 and edit the footage.
Recently, the school purchased some HD cameras that record to a built in hard drive or an SDHC card. The idea here was that the .MTS files could be copied from the camera to the computer running Premiere Pro CS3, the media files in .MTS format [at 1280x720] could be converted using KoyoteSoft's Free HD Converter using the settings MPEG2 [a preset], MPG2 as the format, 1280x720 // 16/9, 29.97 FPS, 9000 video bitrate, and 224 audio bitrate, and then the new media files could be imported into Premiere Pro CS3 and edited using the HDV 720p30 preset within Premiere Pro CS3.
This works great...on my office computer.
The problem is that if any student tries to import their footage on a computer in the digital media lab, the converted media files, the exact same ones that just imported into my Premiere Pro CS3 installation on a computer in my office with identical hardware as the computers in the digital media lab, fail to import the audio. I can see the video with no problems in the lab, but no audio layer appears. If I right click the video file and choose Open With> VLC or another media player, the media plays fine with audio. All audio/video codecs that are installed on my machine are also installed on the digital media machines. If I right click Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 from within a student account on those computers and choose Run As and use the local administrator account, Premiere Pro CS3 does the exact same thing, it still can't see the audio. Adobe CS3 is fully up to date on both my office computer and all digital media computers.
Any help fixing this would be greatly appreciated, spring break is coming up here this coming week and I'll be here all week. Hoping to get this resolved during that time so students can edit their own movies. Again, video imports, audio doesn't. No audio layer appears.
Thanks!

See if this helps... To work with AC3 sound files in Premiere CS3, copy the ad2ac3dec.dll file from the Encore CS3 directory into the Premiere directory

How to transfer the content of the video to Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 for editing ?

Hi there,
I have an old video camera that is still working. That video camera uses a Hi 8 tape. The tape is bigger that the current DV tape. The size of the tape is something like a tape cassette.
How to transfer the content of the video to Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 for editing ? Being an old video camera, the output doesn't have any firewire or USB connector. In fact the only output is has is the Yellow, Red & while connector (is this referred to as composite).
So, how do I input this Yellow, Red & White cable into the PC (or rather into Adobe Pro CS3) ?
Any established hardware/convertor to recommend ?
Thanks

Ryan,
For "composite out," only you will need an A-D "bridge" to Capture from that camera. Grass Valley/Canopus offers two really good ones, the ADVC-110 and the ADVC-300. There are others and also PCI A-D capture cards, but the Canopus units get very good reviews.
One other workflow would be to hook your older camera to a digital video camera with passthrough (not all have this and it is being discontinued fairly rapidly in consumer cameras) and then doing the Capture through that digital video camera via FireWire. You will not have Device Control, but can easily start/stop via the mouse and one hand on the switches, or on a remote.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere Pro CS3 shutting down

Sorry to ask such a simple question, but I am new to Premiere Pro CS3. Basically, whenever I start it up, I get to the point of importing some video (a small file), and then it seems like 3 out of 4 times when I try to do anything with the program after the import is complete, it simply shuts down and disappears with no warnings or errors. I know from experience with Vegas Pro that video editors can be picky and unstable, but this is ridiculous.
Short of "re installing the program", are there any words of advice of things to check concerning the program (or me) to help keep it running longer than 60 seconds? It is running on a Win XP32 machine with no other programs running at the same time.
Thanks in advance for your input.

Excellent article!
SYSTEM:
Let's start with the hardware. This is a built from scratch PC about 2 -3 years old that I put together for using Vegas Pro and other high end Autodesk programs. It is a Tyan server motherboard with two AMD Opteron quad core micros (8 cores total) running at a nominal 2.3 Ghz. Total ram is 8 G of DDR2. The video card is an ATI FireGL V5200 with 512M of video ram, driving two monitors. The operating system is Windows XP 32. It is a dual boot machine, capable of booting into either XP32 or XP x64. The OS are on a 320G SATA2 hard drive. The video files are on a striped RAID consisting of two 320G SATA2 hard drives.
Installed software includes everything from Master Collection CS3, Microsoft Office 2007, and a few other odds and ends. The antivirus is Kaspersky 2009.
ASSETS:
The imported video clip is 80M AVI from a camcorder that plays fine in either Vegas or Windows Media Player.
WORKFLOW:
Have not got that far yet!
Let's start with the simple questions first: When I get to the initial splash screen "Welcome to Adobe Premiere Pro", pressing either the "Exit" button or the red button with the X in the upper right corner of the splash screen causes the program to shut down. Is that to be expected?
Oh, and to the best of my experience, this is the only software from the Master Collection CS3 suite that is having this problem.

Premiere Pro cs3 performance slow

Hello, I tried checking various places for this answer but could not find the answer, so apologies if this can be answered somewhere else.
I use Premiere Pro CS3 (I have the suite). When I start to work on a project, all is well. When I get to about the fifteen minute or twenty minute mark in terms of footage that is on the time line (perhaps just one or two video tracks and then a title or two on tracks three and four), then Premiere behaves very sluggishly. When opening the project, it takes a fairly long time (about two minutes) to open. Playback always stutters, no matter what. If I select "File" or "Edit" on the top bar, I might have to wait a few seconds, or longer, for the drop-down items to appear. If I dare to do something like add color correction to a shot, or some other effect, Premiere is even more sluggish. I used to use Premiere 6.1 for years and never had a problem -- even did a massive production with enormous number of SFX, green screen, etc...no problem. My system smoked. I have a great system now (see below). Now I do a project in CS3 and am so very careful not to get near the 30 minute mark (otherwise very slow performance) and even then I feel very limited in terms of what I can dare do, lest CS3 crashes altogether. And sometimes it has. "Premiere Pro had encountered problems and will now close..." Any suggestions?
Here is what I am working with:
Pyro PCI card
650W Power Supply
Supermicro X7DAE Dual-Core Xeon Motherboard
Dual Intel Xeon 5150 (10.64 GHz Total)
4GB DDR2-667 FBDIMM RAM (4x1GB)
ATI FireGL V3350 256MB PCIe Video Card
Creative Labs AudigySE Sound Card
80GB OS/Application Hard Drive
1000GB SATA Internal Video RAID (2x500)
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Adobe Production Suite CS3

I guess what Harm is saying is that if your hardware checks out, your footage is "typical", and no immediate solution is evident, then a re-install is often the fastest and most effective solution. If you have your OS on one drive and all your data on another, this process becomes pretty straightforward, even more so if you've "slipped" your copy of XP with all its updates. Why spend 6 hours troubleshooting and get a possible solution when you could spend 2 hours re-installing and get an almost guaranteed solution!
If you want to have a tinker before taking the plunge, there are a couple of things that I'd look at:
1) Virus Checker. Download MS's "Process Explorer" (overblown Task Manager) and see if anything is going nuts when you open a larger project
2) CS3 all patched up?
3) Hard disk cache setting. You say things go pear-shaped at about 30 minutes (about 6 gig in DV language) maybe there's an issue with your Windows Page File that is slowing things down. If you have a "hard" setting in there, change it back to automatic and see if you have any improvement. Also, where is it? across two disks? check you have enough room on your OS disk for the pagefile to work as it should.
4) Check the location of your Media Cache files. Think about trashing all the cache files for the project and see if that improves anything. Make sure that anything that Premiere will be accessing (the Media Cache Database, the cache files etc) is where it should be and not in some wierd place (like on a network share)
5) On the timeline, what display options do you have turned on? First frame/last frame? or "movie strip" view?
That's all I can think of for now... is the re-install looking more attractive?? ;-)

Being serious about HD and Premiere Pro.

Hi all,
Jeron wrote a reply to a topic on the CS3 windows forum that contained...
"If you are really serious about HD and Premiere Pro, IMHO the only way to go is uncompressed with an Aja Xena card. I have the least problems and get the best quality."
Ok,
can i get some user opinions on what they think are increasing levels of quality with your idea of some hardware/software/editing configuration like the one offered by Jeron?
For instance...
Level 1 - capture compressed via 1394 firewire card and edit in HDV.
Level 2 - capture compressed via 1394b firewire card / convert via Cineform / edit in HD.
Level 3 - capture uncompressed via sdi Aja Xena card and edit in HD.
Any opinions?

Harm pretty much summed it up really well, Nelson.
I've only ever shot HDV so I can only comment on that. If you are shooting HDV, you can...
1. Edit it as HDV
2. Edit it in an intermediate codec like Cineform's
3. Get the hardware to ingest it as uncompressed HD by getting an HD-SDI converter (or use HDMI if you can).
I usually just do #1. Lately I've been using Avid for HDV because it works better for my workflow, which is multi-cam with the audio recorded separately from the video. I'm hoping Adobe can fix the bugs that will make me productive again with PPro, because I miss dynamic link.
I have a HD Connect LE which will let me convert the firewire to HD-SDI and ingest as uncompressed HD (10 bit or 8 bit) using an Aja Xena. I only do that as 10 bit if I want to tweak the image alot with special effects from Lightwave or particleIllusion and with my green screen work.
I don't use #2 because I don't like Cineform's preset and the way it deals with non-Cineform filters and transitions. That is just a personal preference. I tend to use effects that are cross-NLE like Boris FX, so they work the same everywhere, Vegas, Avid, PPro, AE; etc. (Coming from an Avid background where their intermediate works better than native HDV with ALL filters and effects, Cineform was even more disappointing...)
Most people should be fine with Cineform. Chances are you will be happy with #1 or #2. Number 3 is a huge expense which is really not worth it if you are shooting on a compressed format like HDV in the first place. For me it is a better solution than Cineform, though if I want the extra headroom of 10 bit media.
(My comments in that other thread were a reaction to the OP ranting about Adobe not being "professional enough" for him to edit his "feature film" with a $700 HDV camera using "CINEFORM HD". I was trying to tell him if he is really serious, he wouldn't be shooting a "feature film" with a $700 HDV camera and editing in a compressed file workflow.)

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...

Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 image on student machines

Hello! At the beginning of the 2008/2009 school year I installed Adobe Creative Suite 3: Master Collection on some of our school computers, a media lab. All the applications work great, such as Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, etc. The one application we can't get to work for the life of us is Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. It works on my machine in my office, which is a standalone box, but for machines which have been sysprepped and imaged, it doesn't work the same. It will render videos fine if they're slideshows made from individual pictures and music. But as soon as you try to add video, Premiere either crashes, or bluescreens. Happens on any one of the 30 computers in the lab, and my computer in my office which it works perfectly on, is identical hardware. Exact same builds. Only difference is mine wasn't sysprepped and Ghosted, and I'm an Administrator.
The other interesting thing, is none of the machines will capture. Not a single one. They all show "Capture device offline", but when I plug the cameras into my machine, it picks up perfectly. So tell me, to install Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, do I need to install individually on every machine? Or is there something else I'm missing?
Also, the students are not local administrators. They're just "Domain Users" on a Windows XP machine part of a server 2003 domain.
Thanks! I look forward to your replies.

Some troubleshooting tips.
Cheers
