Is Premier Pro CS6 as good as the newest version

Due to my operating system being Snow Leopard 10.6.8, it looks like i must choose Premier Pro CS6. is this an acceptable platform, or should I wait to get a newer computer and get the latest version. I would like to keep my older IMac, as it is bulletproof. Also, if I choose an older version of PPro, does is still cost as much as the latest version?

Hi Funhog,
This is almost like asking the question: "What's the best camera?"
The real answer is it depends what you are shooting and where you want to publish your videos, and what are your aspirations in video.
I was a CS4, then CS5.5 user - hated CS6 - but now will be moving to CC 2014 principally because I am providing video for broadcast and shooting XAVC Intra. I tried other NLEs from the usual suspects and quiet honestly they are based on film editing logisitics (IMHO). CC 2014 is geared to my past experience in editing and my current needs - AS-11 DPP delivery for example. I also note that CC 2014 is now a fully 64-bit platform - and it's noticeable in the performance.
If I was publishing to DVDs and the web then CS5.5 (and CS6) would do the job. But if you are shooting say with the new Sony PXW FS7 (as I do now) then you would have issues with workflow in those earlier versions. It depends what you are shooting and with what codecs.
I'm a PC user not MAC, but that really should not matter. I doubt whether you will still be able to get a CS5.5 version, but you may get lucky. The CS6 version looks a higher price if you did qualify for the upgrade option. But you alone need to make that decision as to what you want from your edit and post system, and to what you want to aspire to in your video productions.

  • Premier Pro CS6 project files (in the 6.0 folder) aren't there after upgrade to CC

    I've recently upgraded from CS6 to CC and my premier pro project files form the CS6 version aren't in the Adibe folder. I'm hoping these were backed up to a hidden folder or something, or there is a way to get them back. I've still got the media (videos and audio etc). It's the project file that I cant find. Any help?

    So I'm trying to buy and download aperture from the apple page. It won't allow me to do so and I wonder if it is because I have a 2009 Macbook Pro. Do I need to buy an older version of Aperture?

  • I've Got The HDV Capture BLUES From Premier Pro CS6

    I am attempting to capture HDV footage from my Sony Z1U camera in Premier Pro CS6.  When I do so, the file type saved in my designated location is an MP3 file, which I know is not correct.  The captured footage never gets into the program, it just remains on the disk as an MP3 file type.  Then when I try to Import that file into Premier Pro from the disk, I get an error message saying "There Was An Error Decompressing Audio or Video"  Does anybody know why a captured HDV file would wind up on the disk with an MP3 type name?
    Thx.

    You scared me a bit. I upgraded from Premiere Pro CS3 to Premiere Pro CS6 and I haven't had a need to capture anything yet. So, while I do like using HDVSplit, I thought I would try capturing from my Sony HDR-FX1 just to see what happens.
    I turned off the PC, got out the camera, connected the Firewire cable (I blew the firewire port on this camera once. I will NOT do it again.)
    I started a new project. Now, the first thing I noticed was that the default is to capture DV. So I changed that to HDV.  See the image below:
    After that, it was a simple matter to capture the HDV. I dropped it on the "New Item" button to create a new sequence with the exact right properties. Then I trimmed it a little on each end. It was so cool that there was no line above the clip, meaning that no rendering was required. It never used to be so easy. I then used the Vimeo 1080 60p preset and uploaded it to Vimeo. No video or audio effects. This is how it was recorded.
    So, since it worked for me, let's see if we can get enough details from the people having trouble and see if it is user error or a bug I didn't see.
    Oh, just in case there are any Disney World fans, or anyone who just loves Christmas lights, here is what I captured.

  • Does Adobe Premier Pro CS6 and After Effects CS6 support the graphic found in the new late 2012 27" iMac?

    Hi there guys! I´m very, very, VERY close to buy a full configuration iMac (the late 2012 27" model) but I have reed in different forums that Adobe Premier Pro CS6 and other applications from Adobe such as After Effects DO NOT support the graphic cards found in the new iMacs....
    is this true??????
    i really wouldn´t understad the logic behid the decission of picking a graphic card that is not supported by one of the leading video editing sofrware used today.... specially when this computer is suppoused to be an Editing Animal....
    I hope this rumor is not real..... then I can be just... really happy and get my new desktop computer and work, work, work, work
    thanks for your attention

    Hi there Daniel, thanks for paying attention to this subject. Today I got an answer from Larry Jordan from his blog (I believe he is one of the "videoguys" from http://videoguys.com and he said that actually adobe does not support those GPU that we will find in the new late 2012 iMacs. However it seems there is a way to make that work out.....
    here is his review on his new iMac, at the very botton you will see comments from people and his answers... one of the last coments is mine regarding this subject, this is what I asked and his answer:
    mGabo Jan 18, 2013 08:50Hi there Larry, I reed in your other post on your iMac that Adobe didn´t support the Nvidia graphic cards found in this model, I have been asking in forums about this and people say Adobe does supports them……Do you know if Adobe now works fine with these cards?
    Larry Jan 18, 2013 11:10When I contacted Adobe about this a couple months ago, just after the release of the new iMacs, I was told that Adobe did not support the graphics card at that time. There is, however, a workaround, which I’m hoping to write up this weekend.Larry

    Hi I am trying to install adobe premier pro cs6, In between my system got restarted once again i tried to install it but installation is coming in Chinese language, Before my system restart it is in English language, How to get installation in English?, Urgent help needed thanks in advance.

    If you're saying the system crashed during the install, it might be a good idea to sort that out before installing PP, if only because sorting that out could potentially lead to a full rebuild of Windows.

  • Premier Pro CS6-Capturing Footage, Serious Surprising Issue

    I started editing using final cut pro 7 and i'm making the transition into the adobe video world.  Premier is very simlar to final cut, but I think premier is much better as long as you can find your self around.
    I chose to capture vhs tapes through a fw 400 to a 800 into my mac with premier instead of final cut.  The reason for this is, i noticed that premier had a much better proc amp luma to it then fial cut did.  Meaning the capture window in final cut 7 was much darker then in premier pro cs6.
    The Final cut capture window is on the left and the premier capture window is on the right.
    Now this is a very good thing and this is why i chose to capture in premier instead.  Does premier have capture presets like final cut does?  I'm captureing vhs tapes that are 2 hours long and average to about 30/35 gigs a pop cuase their .movs.  Is there anyway to capture as a mpg2 and call it a day?  Thank you.

    As far as I know, PPro (both Win and Mac) capture digitised tapes into the DV AVI codec... on Win it is AVI and Mac it is MOV... but the internals are the same
    What is your digitising device... and does it come with it's own software?
    But, do be aware that the DV AVI codec, at about 13Gig per hour, is as good as it gets for editing
    If you do use other software to capture to a compressed format, you lose a great deal of the original picture quality

  • Premier Pro CS6 not displaying Video

    Premier Pro CS6 is not displaying video.  Loads and plays clips with sound and all monitors work but no video displayed, installs them in timeline, exports - just does not display video in program or preview monitors nor will it scrub in the thumbnails (static images only). Just started all of a sudden for no apparent reason.  All valid file types, even previous projects that worked fine before display no video now.

    If you are on Windows it HAS been known to happen that a Windows Update will cause a video driver to have problems (more information when you ask a question is a good thing http://forums.adobe.com/message/4200840 so people will be able to help)
    It is "more usual" to need a video driver update, so good to know that a simple un/reinstall worked for you

  • Premier Pro CS6 and Encore

    I am new to Premier Pro and I am using CS6 downloaded on a monthly basis.
    I shot footage using Canon 60D and Sony EX3.  All has gone very well up to yesterday.  All the editing was Ok and everything in order.  Then I found I could not export to Mpeg 2 DVD  so downloaded the latest update and that fixed that issue.  I then exported 1 minute of footage which was the 60D footage as a test. All OK.  No work carried out in encore at this point.
    At some point later I looked at the timeline in premier pro and noticed that all the Sony footage was now red with the project window saying media off line.  In the source monitor I cannot see any of the composite video and this is greyed out on the menu and I only see the waveform.  The video seems to have disappeared but if I check the info on each clip it still seems to be there as each clips indicated it is 3 - 4 GB.
    So.... I need to know what has happened and how I rectify this problem.  I am obviously worried that my source material has gone but my rational head tells me it will be somewhere.
    I have tried a totally new project and have the same issue.
    Somebody help please?

    I think I first need to be able to confirm my raw footage on the external
    hard drive is still good.
    OK, the Source Footage is on an external HDD.
    Are you on a Mac, or PC?
    If you are on a PC, is the drive letter assigned to that external HDD, by the OS, the exact same, as when you Imported the footage?

  • Premier pro cs6 artifacs

    I just shot some footage with a panasonic camera that has worked well with premier pro cs6 before. This time I have artifacs (very noticable). On the same card, I have other footage and they are normal. I tried this same footage with Final Cut ProX and had no artifacs, I then tried it on my laptop, no artifacs on either the premier pro or the final cut pro X. I have tried to use other drives, have tried to put the AVCHD on one drive and the premier pro project on the other drive, no good. Can anyone help? Also noticed that the clips run normally in the source panel but, of course, not the program panel.
    Thanks,
    Ted
    PS. I'm new at this discussion thing, hope I can retrieve the answers if there are some.

  • Can This Laptop Be Used For Premier Pro CS6?

    Developed an interest in learning to edit video but have become confused in reading all of the posts about what is the true minimum hardware requirement/setup, as compared to what is listed as System Requirements by Adobe.  Probably best to start with my initial goals.
    Here is what I was looking at doing as this journey begins:
    Purchased Creative Suite 6 Production Premium Classroom in a Book(CIB) after reading a review it would be a better start than Premier Pro CIB, which I plan on getting, if one has no experience in this field.  During research feel that I would like to become a subscriber to the Creative Cloud as there are a number of products I would like to learn and use.  Basically, I am hopeful that I may use my current laptop for the beginning of my education and further down the road look at getting a more powerful system as knowledge/skills/requirements increase.  Initial video I wouild like to work with is that received from family members smart phones and will be looking at purchasing a simple video camera for short interviews and brief presentantions.  Will likely desire uploading some completed projects to the web.
    Current Hardware:
    Laptop:  Asus N53SV
    OS: Windows 7 64bit
    CPU: Intel i7-2670QM  2.2GHz Cores=4  Threads=8
    L3 Cache: 6mb
    RAM: 6MB
    Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000, NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M 1024 MB
    OpenGL: 3.1.0
    Display: 1920 X 1080
    Drives: (1) HD, Seagate 500GB @ 7,200 RPM partitioned as C: 186GB with OS and programs,  D: 254GB some documents
                  E: Optical DVD-RW
                  F: USB 3 connected 2 TB Seagate GoFlex External HD
    If this laptop can be used with current hardware, I wouild sincerely appreciate any suggestions for how to best utilize what is available to begin learning Premier Pro CS6.  As I will not have any time schedules that will have to be met I can accept that this may not be the ideal system.  Just hoping it can be a start.
    If any further information is required about the laptop please let me know and Thank You for your time with this question.

    That's not a bad setup at all to get started with small projects.
    We all have different budgets and patience. You may be OK with what you have. And if it seems too sluggish - your rig would be for me , the following would help Premiere Pro performance:
    - increase RAM to 16GB (about $140 per eBay pricing from a seller with high ratings a few minutes ago)
    - add another drive; my favorite choice with your laptop would be a Seagate Momentus 750gb drive installed in a NEWmodeUS.com optical bay caddy (slips into your laptop)

    Exactly what I have done, and it is great.
    You can get the caddy here:

    I had this setup for my old HP and have a caddy ready to install for my new Dell Precision as well. You can either get an external house for your DVD drive, or get an external one - they are quite cheap.
