Installed Premiere Pro CS4 but video display does not work?

I just got my copy of CS$. After installing Premiere I found two things that seem very wrong:
1) video display does not work, not even the little playback viewer next to improted film clips located on the project / sequence window. Audio works fine.
2) the UI is way too slow for my big beefy system.
My pc is a dual boot Vista-32 and XP system with 4GB of memory installed and nvidia geforce 280 graphics board with plenty of GPU power. The CS4 is installed on the Vista-32 partition. My windows XP partition on the same PC with Premiere CS2 works great and real fast.
Any ideas how to solve this CS4 install issue?

I would like to thank Dan, Hunt, and Haram:
The problem is now very clear to me. The problem only shows up with video footage imported into PP CS4 encoded with "MS Video 1" codec. So this seems to be a bug. The codec is very clearly called out and supported within various menues but video with this codec just will not play in any monitor or preview window. In addition the entire product looks horrible with respect to performance while PP CS4 trys its best to play the video. Audio will start playing after about 30 seconds. And once in awhile part of video shows up at the wrong magnification before blanking out again.
My suggestion to the Adobe team: fix the bug and add some sample footage to the next release so new installations can test their systems with known footage.

Premiere Pro CS4 "Export Settings" window does not show up.

Hello,
I've run into a new problem with Premiere Pro CS4. Basically, when I select "File > Export > Media" my Export Settings window doesn't show up. If I click on the Premiere window I hear the beeping sound and nothing happens, if I hit Enter the Export Data window pops up and then Media Encoder opens. So, it seems that my Export Settings window is still open but I can't see it and make the necessary setting changes. It does not appear to be minimized and I can not locate it on my desktop anywhere. This is really frustrating because I was able to see the Export Settings window just a few weeks ago when I was exporting my last project. I've tried changing my screen resolutions but that didnt reveal the Export Settings window.
Does anyone know what is going on here and, more importantly, how I can fix it? I am really stuck here and am working against a deadline. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
-Ben

Ben,
THANK YOU!!!! For two days I have been struggling with the exact same issue. And of course it was simple to fix, if I had just thought about it. Thank you for taking the time to post your experience. I had tried all sorts of stuff trying to get everything onto my #1 monitor, with desktop & workspace resets, resizing my display, etc. After reading and printing your post,
Hitting ALT+Space,
Down Arrow,
Enter,
and then pressing the left arrow and watching my Export window slide into view, I was laughing so hard, that I was tearing up. It would have been a month waiting for my second monitor to get repaired to get to see what was still being displayed on this ghost monitor. Each week, I video and edit our church's service and then post three versions (Windows Media Player, Ipod-MP4, MP3 Audio) of it to our web site. I would have been four weeks behind were it not for your post.
Again, a BIG Thank You!!!

Premiere Pro CS4 over remote desktop does not play sequence

Hi all,
I have been researching this issue over the internet but I have found absolutely no references to it:
I am running Premiere Pro CS4 on my high-resource PC but would like to work from a different room so I am remoting form my laptop to my "good" PC.
The system lets me do everything I could normally do when working directly on the main PC with the exception of playing back my edited files (before rendering). This is an obvious handicap since I can not watch my edited sequence and am, therefore, working in the blind. I am able to step through it frame by frame, but when I click the play button, it changes to a pause symbol (as usual) but nothing is shown in the video window. This does not just happen when previewing my edited sequence but also when previewing any imported resource.
Essentially, Premiere Pro CS4 is not playing any video content over a Remote Desktop.
Other normal playback software (such as VLC, Windows Media Player etc...) works though, so it is not an issue of no video playback at all. This just happens when I'm using Premiere Pro.
Any suggestions as to what this may be? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I was able to edit a full 1080p HD video in Premiere Pro CS5 remotely using HPs RGS (Remote Graphics Software). I had a Workstation at work with Premiere Pro installed on it and all the source footage on it. I was then able to log on remotely from home with my old weak-sauce desktop and successfully edit and play back the HD footage remotely. You just do a google search for HP RGS or go to this link. http://h20331.www2.hp.com/hpsub/cache/286504-0-0-225-121.html
There is a free trial available too. I don't know why there is not more information about RGS on the web, but it seems to me to be the only solution to work on Premiere or After Effects remotely.
I hope this helps

Macbook pro w/ 24" cinema display does not work in bootcamp windows 7 - any solutions out there?

I am running bootcamp with windows 7 to be able to access some autodesk software. Once I'm in the windows environment I can no longer use my 24" cinema display. Is this a driver issue, video card, any ideas on how to make this function, I really need to display real estate.

I know this is an old post, but did you ever find a solution for this? I just installed Windows 7 through Boot Camp and bought an older 20" Cinema Display (M9177LL/A); the display works wonderfully on the Mac side, but I can't get it to register in Windows. This isn't the brightness issue that I see a lot of people have, I don't see a way to use the display at all.

I have downloaded Firefox but it will not open. I have tried several times to install and then uninstall, but it still does not work.

We used to use Firefox..but for whatever reason it stopped opening. We uninstalled it and we found that the old version of Firefox would open but it would straight away update to the new version and then the problems would begin again and it would not open.

Using another browser, download the FULL installer from
'''[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ Download Firefox Full Installer For All languages And Systems]''' {web link}
Save the file. Then;
Using your file browser, open the '''Programs''' folder on your computer.
'''Windows:''' C:\Program Files
C:\Program Files (x86)
'''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder.
'''Linux:''' Check your user manual.
Look for, and rename any Mozilla and Firefox folders by adding '''.old''' to them.
Now run the full installer.

Error installing Premiere Pro CS4 - "The Installer Database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer Service"

I had to replace my hard drive and so I had to re-install Premiere Pro CS4. I tried to do that with the files I had downloaded before, but the install failed and gave me the error message "The Installer Database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer Service".
I assumed that the files I downloaded had become corrupt, so I logged on and re-downloaded the ADBEPPROCS4_LS7.7z and ADBEPPROCS4_LS7.exe files. I ran ADBEPPROCS4_LS7.exe and it also failed and gave me the same error message. I tried another download from a different page and got the same error again.
Can anyone suggest what I can do to get my program installed?

You should contact your bank to see what browsers they support and until then ignore the message. The chances are very good they suppport Safari and Firefox, both are great browers.

Satellite 1800-100: video-out does not work

He,
I just installed windows XP on my old Satellite 1800-100, but now my video-out does not work anymore. So I just downloaded the latest driver, but there's no way I can get it installed. According to Windows the new driver isn't newer, so it won't let me update it. And when i try to unistall the display driver, I have to reboot before it takes effect, and wile rebooting it automaticly installs the standard driver again.
Can anybody help me?
Greets,
Daan

Hi
Do you mean TV- out port or monitor port? As far as I know this unit is preinstalled with WXP Home and all drivers can be also used for WXP Pro.
Did you preinstall your own OS (non recovery image)?

Mac Mini + A1038 Cinema Display does not work

Hi,
I have a 2009 model Mac Mini with mini-dvi and mini-display port's on the rear. I can connect any of my DVI based monitors to the mac mini using either the mini-dvi to dvi cable or the mini-displayport to dvi cable. All monitors except for the A1038 model Apple Cinema Display.
The cinema display works with 3 other computers with DVI ports, turns right on and is detected right away. When plugged into the mini it does nothing. Sometimes I can get it to work with the mini-dvi to dvi adapter but that is sporadic.
This is the same behavior with a 2009 model mac book pro and macbook. Using the mini-displayport to dvi cable the cinema display does not work but 3 other monitors do.
So my question is, why does apple hardware only work with non-apple hardware?

Is the A1038 the old, plastic Cinema Display that doesn't have a power cord or power supply? It only has a video cable with the special ADC on it? If that's the case, it needs this to run from a newer Mac:

Satellite Pro M30 Win 7 - webcam does not work on msn messenger

Hi all
I have a Satellite Pro M30 Modell Nr.: PSM35E and have just changed to Windows 7. But the Nvidia Card NVIDIA GeForceTM FX Go5200 Grafik mit 64 MB RAM does not work properly.
I could find a driver from Vista and installed it, have Aero pics on the desktop, but my webcam does not work on msn messenger and this is the only way for me to see my family.
Can someone help me?
Thanks for your help

Hi
Im a little bit confused; do you have some problems with the graphic card or with the webcam?
I assume you are speaking about external webcam connected to the USB port? Right?
What happens if you connect the webcam to the notebook? Can Win 7 recognize the connected device? Did you install additional drivers for this webcam?
In most cases its necessary to do that because I think its not plug & play device.

Satellite Pro L20-212 - USB2.0 does not work

Hi,
I own a *Satellite Pro L20-212*, *Windows XP (SP2) is installed, but USB2.0 does not work*. I can't see anything about USB2.0 in the Devicemanager and the speed of the attached USB2.0 devices is at the USB1.1 level.
I don't know which information is needed to help me out with this problem because it should normally work on my notebook (and I know that the notebook has USB2.0 ports).
Do I have to install a special driver in order to use USB2.0 or is there any software on my notebook which I have to enable?
Thank you very much,
Frank

Hi
+Fact is that the notebooks hardware is ok and it seems that you only need to install some MS updates and maybe a chipset driver.+
True.
+But lets begin with the basics? as I??m not mistaken; the Satellite Pro L20 belongs to the PSL2YE. Therefore you have to choose this series number if you download the drivers.+
That's what I did.
+On the Toshiba European driver page you will find the Intel Chip Set Utility. Please install it firstly. Do you have an ATI card? If yes install the graphic driver from the Toshiba page because this driver contains the chipset driver for the units with ATI graphic card!!!+
I have an ATI card and I installed the driver from the Toshiba page which includes the chipset driver. That's the first driver I installed on my notebook.
+Secondly you will find the Quick Fix Engineering on the Toshiba page. These are the MS updates which must be installed!!!+
Every single update of Microsoft for Windows XP is installed, so this shouldn't be the problem
+Then the USB ports should be correctly recognized in the device manager and should work.+
USB is recognized, but not as USB 2.0 :-(
+By the way; you should test the USB ports with different external USB devices to ensure that it??s not a USB device malfunction?+
I did that, too. And I used the same decives on Ubuntu to test the USB 2.0 function. And everything worked perfectly.
That's tricky. I don't have the slightest idea what I can do now. The hardware works, the drivers are correct, but it still doesn't work. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
But thank you very much Gipsyman!
