In an older computer should I install an older version of Premiere Pro for DV editing?

Hi all.  I will try to make sense out of my question.  I have a Pentium D, 3.60GHz 4gig ram windows 7 64bit computer.   Installed I have Premiere Pro CS5.  It seems to be working fine for DV editing since I do basic stuff (couple of filters, etc.). I get no drop frames and playback from the time line is decent.  But I see that on the different versions of Premiere Pro, each higher version asks for higher system requirements, so I would like to know If I install on that same system lets say, Premiere CS4 or CS3, will it run faster since the system requirements are lower, or it doesn't matter since I will be doing the same thing that is editing DV material.   Are the extra system requirements for example in CS6 mainly for the new high definition codecs that are supported, extra effects etc?  If I install in the future CS6 will I have  then lower performance that I have today for editing DV?  Thank you all in advanced for your insights on this.

I'd like to see a comparison with say CS2. I tend think that your current software might run marginally faster. I warn you against going to CS6, as it seems to have higher computing overhead thus far, and there has been some issue with DV editors connecting to dv devices. I don't see where it could help your dv workflow very much.
But Dude.....,Pentium D, 3.60GHz?  You could build a new PC funded solely by the electricity that you would save over 18 months. Combine that with savings from not upgrading to CS6 and join us all here in modern computing land. Editing HD natively (It will happen for you) without rendering previews, exporting to DVD and mp4 in minutes instead of hours. It is so worth it. Is this your work's or your church's system where its just not your choice to upgrade? Here at work we were finally able to upgrade to CS5 capable systems 2 years ago, and HD material had already become a big workflow issue with us, even though we were primarily working with DV. I also had to upgrade my home system to take on any freelance editing. You can rock with any modern i5 or i7 quad core, 12gb memory, and a gtx card. You could also get and AMD 6 or 8 core and maybe save a little $ there.
I just wouldn't ever consider upgrading the software before that rig.

    You have to ask that?   Because the more plugins you add to a browser the more likely something is going to clash, or simply slow down the the whole thing, particularly if it is a plugin designed for newer model computers.  As Niel said, if you don't need it then don't install it.

    I already own Lightroom 5. Should I install the CC version?

    When I subscribed to the creative cloud I uninstalled my standalone Lightroom 5, and then installed from the creative cloud application manager. Some people say that it isn't necessary. It possibly isn't. If Lightroom 5 is working satisfactorily now, it's your decision. When Lightroom 6 is eventually released you will want to install that from that creative cloud application manager. You didn't provide a lot of information in your question. I assume you are aware that you must subscribe to the creative cloud in order to receive the benefits.

  • Get older version of premiere pro??

    For a long time I have been trying to use Premier Pro with an Intel HD graphics 4000, and only now realise (from other websites, rather than from Adobe) that it is simply not compatible. Considering that this is a relatively new computer I'm really disappointed as Premiere Pro is one of the main reasons I invested in creative cloud. Is there anything I can do, or can you issue me with an older version of premiere pro that will be compatible?

    >can you issue me

  • Install old version of Premiere Pro in Windows 8.1

    I have an old version of Premiere Pro. The disc just says Adobe Premiere Pro and has the picture of the horse on it. It also says Windows XP. It previously worked on a PC running Windows XP (I think SP2 but cant remember). I would now like to install it on a laptop running Window 8.1. It goes through the install process then gives a message about DirectX. You can then choose to continue anyway but it doesn't install properly. I have tried installing it in compatibility mode but it still didn't work. Can anyone help? I need step by step instructions as I don't understand anything too technical! Many thanks

    If DirectX is the hold-up, you will need to run the DX legacy installer from Microsoft to install the DX 9 runtimes. Otherwise I don't think you will have much luck on that one... The versions with the horse are pre-CS and that is like 15 years ago. Even if it installs, you may not be able to actually work with it because e.g. the program may not be able to invoke file dialogs to actually open projects and there may be any number of other compatibility issues.

  • Installing Mac OS version 10.0.4 for a Power Mac G4

    Wondering if anyone can help me, I spent all day trying to reinstall the Mac OS version 10.0.4 software that came with the computer in the first place. Decided we needed to restore our Power Mac G4 to its original state. I know, its 8 years old! LOL. I erased the HD and used all 4 restoring CD's. Came up at the end saying that the restore couldn't be completed cause it could not restore a "restricted-image". We ignored that and just moved on and installed the Mac OS 9.2 software- which seems to work. Then when we tried to install the Mac OS 10.0.4 software installer CD, the small little happy face computer came up on screen and so did that darn spinning ball! Then the ball froze and stopped spinning and we couldn't install the Mac OS 10.0.4 software CD at all. I don't know how many times we tried it. But it did it every time! So I tried to skip that and go directly to installing the Mac OS X 10.4. But the computer kept ejecting it every single time! It just wouldn't take it.
    Someone please help! I'm going crazy with this thing!
    Sincerely frustrated!

    Be sure the computer shipped with those discs, & before attempting again
    to install anything, use the disk tools in OS 9 and have then erase the
    whole hard disk drive, and then reformat it. Nothing should be on the drive.
    Then use the OS 9 installer, be sure to install OS 9 Drivers as part of the
    installation, so you will have a running system. If there are any options,
    in directing the installer to add extras, maybe due to the vintage of the
    computer, you should be sure they are all installed.
    (If the computer required OS X to be installed first, then you have a
    different vintage issue on your hands. Some were that way.)
    If one of the discs has a scratch or smudge, or if they aren't all for
    the computer in question, the issue may be due to those details.
    When you have OS 9 running on the computer, you could try going on-
    line and running the OS 9 software update to see if there are some odd
    updates to add to the running system. You may have to rebuild the
    desktop and other routines for OS 9 to work, and continue to do so, as
    a part of the install and update process.
    If you have any proper OS 9 vintage disk utilities, you may wish to see
    if any of them were decidedly good to use, and if not, discard them. A
    few were great, and some were OK. Later on, some of the OS9 names
    were making stuff for OS X; and a few were bad at it. Be advised.
    OS 10.0 is hardly considered an operating system and nothing available
    after that required it to be on the computer before hand; so it may be a
    good deal to not install OS X 10.0.0 ~ 10.2.8 versions at all. Panther 10.3
    was the first really ready OS X version for general purposes & it did well;
    however, there are no new browser or much of anything current for it,
    and no security updates, either.
    If you do go into OS X, you may need to see if there is a suitable Firmware
    Update required for that computer, to run OS X 10.2 or later (or any) and
    if the Boot ROM or other indicator of a firmware version appears in the OS9
    System Profiler, note what it is. The firmware should be updated and the
    download from Apple Support for those older computer updates is free.
    Since it is a G4 (you say) it may not need a firmware update. Check.
    {If you had a retail installer for Panther 10.3 and went through the steps to
    include the disc set and what not with the computer, or installed it (by so
    doing, that beings a process of personalizing the installation; a new owner
    may have to change the password to use it, but whatever name is used
    to set up the new OS X system will remain in the computer.) They may not
    like having your name in their computer; or having to reinstall & update it.}
    A working OS 9.2.2 in a clean machine, without issues, with installer discs
    to support the license agreement behind the system within the computer, is
    set for use or sale; to install a very old OS X system is no advantage. To
    include a vintage and basic OS X 10.3 retail installer disc set would leave
    the window of opportunity for the machine to run a practical old OS X.
    Note:
    +Some computers shipped with installer discs which required a certain+
    +and specific install path to get OS 9.0.x or 9.1, or 9.2 installed first,+
    +and then the option sometimes was OS X 10.0 or 10.1, etc. Later on,+
    +some of the dual-boot computers had to have a correct OS X 10.+
    +installed first and then an OS 9.2 installed from a special OS 9 disc.+
    If you are curious about your computer's exact identity, you could
    try matching it by model number and build date era either from the
    database at Apple Support (see products listing in scroll sidebar)
    or see if you can use the information in the free download of the
    handy database from MacTracker from: http://mactracker.ca
    While I could probably spend some more time on this, and find
    most of the details, I don't have the computer sitting here. You do.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Computer Freezes during Playback, Render and Scrubbing in Premiere Pro CS5.5

    PSU - 850watt Corsair
    Graphics Card - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570

    OS - Windows Ultimate 7, 64-bit, Service Pack 1 (up to date)
    Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium (with all updates)
    My problem occurs only in Premiere Pro CS5.5 and not with any other Adobe programs, including After Effects.  Playback, scrubbing, or rendering in my Premiere Pro timeline causes the computer to freeze.  When it freezes I cannot move the mouse, I cannot use the keyboard, there is no automatic shutdown, and there is no BSOD.  The computer just freezes, forever, and needs to be shutdown manually.
    This problem began a few weeks ago, only happening occassionaly.  Recently the problem has escalated to the point that I cannot use Premiere Pro CS5.5 for more than 30 seconds before it freezes.
    I have several different Premiere Pro projects saved to a 1TB WD Black Caviar HDD.  In some of the projects I am using Cineform converted .mov files and in others I am using the raw(compressed) footage directly from a Canon DSLR.  This dedicated harddrive has 60% free space.
    Mercury PLayback Acceleration is enabled, and I have been successfully using Premiere and the rest of the creative suite intensively since October 2011 with absolutely NO problems.  I cannot remember the system ever crashing once during this time period, until now, which is remarkable.  All software on my computer is legitimate, and there are no third party codecs installed.
    What can I do to fix this problem?  All help is extremely appreciated.  THANK-YOU!

    Thank you, Harm I will do this.  In response to the video card being a possible cause of the problem,  I moved forward and downloaded Furmark to test it.  When running Furmark the program crashes.  It gets going on the test and crashes, and apparently according to other websites this means my graphics card is not running at capacity.  Do any of you have experience with this?
    If it is as clean cut as a busted graphics card I would be very excited to know.
