Mac Premiere Pro 5.5.1 - Should I upgrade to 10.7.x Lion?
I have a Mac Pro with 10.6.8 and Premiere Pro 5.5.1. I've been holding off on upgrading to Lion, though I hear that there are significant improvements with timeline performance with it. However, I hear there is a bug related to use of the eyedropper tool. The description Adobe provides about the bug is a bit cryptic, but I assume it affects all uses of the eyedropper, which is used all over Premiere Pro, especially in the effects such as color correction or keying.
Can any Mac users who have upgraded comment on whether they've noticed improvements with their Lion upgrade and PPro 5.5.1 and if they are affected by the eyedropper tool bug?
Thanks for any advice.
-Keith
The Premiere Pro CS5.5 (5.5.2) update fixes the problem with eyedroppers on Mac OSX v10.7 (Lion), as well as some other issues. See this page for details:

Premiere Pro CS6 and AVCHD - Should I upgrade or wait?
Hi All
I currently use Premiere Pro 5.5.2 on a Mac Pro and OS 10.7.3. Most of my footage now is AVCHD, from various camcorders, including Sony FS100 as well as several Panasonic and Canon at 24P, 30P and 60P at 17mb/s to 28mp/s bitrates and LPCM and AVCHD audio. I also do use XDCAM EX and Canon DSLR H.264 footage.
I'm really wanting to upgrade to CS6, it looks fantastic, however I have heard reports of various bugs that make it work less efficiently or not at all with AVCHD footage. Maybe the latest upgrades fix these issues, but I'd like to get some input from people who have actually used CS6 with Mac OS 10.7 and AVCHD files. I don't want to transcode first, this was my primary reason to switch from FCP to Premiere Pro a couple of years ago, don't want to go back!
Thanks much for any and all advice you can give me.

A forum is a place to let it out not hold it in. This doesn't mean foul
language, but it does mean telling it like it is.
I've heard that the AVCHD fix is due 17 June of this year; only in the CC
version.
This means that there will be a constant fire under your but to make that
monthly payment; if not. you're out; and if you had any files in the cloud,
you'll have to re-up to get em out. Ouch!
I went through all of this with Avid for a decade and in the end I was the
loser and the CEO was the winner.
Don't buy anything until you see it work.

I just bought a Mac Book Pro and the Appstore show one upgrade of iPhoto (9.2.1). I started a section with my Apple ID (the account that I have I use to iTunes) but when I try to update it says that there are upgrades available for other accounts and that I have to upgrade using the account that I used to buy iPhoto. What do I have to do to upgrade iPhoto?

Why won't my TV connect to my Mac Book Pro via HDMI thunderbolt after an upgrade to OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1?
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

I have macbook pro 10.5.8 can i upgrade to the Os X lion?
apart from what is already known ( upgrade to Sno,purchase Lion or walk into a Apple Store, ask for a USB drive .. ) you should make sure you can run Lion. Not every Intel Mac will run it, and you need 2GB of RAM.
Double check that requirements before. -

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?

Sony fs100 importing avchd in mac premiere pro
I just bought a sony fs100 camera., set at 1080/25p fx. (This should give a bit rate up to 24 mb/sec, avchd format)
When I connect the camera with usb2 cable to my mac pro and import it in premiere pro CS 5.0
then the images are very bad.(moving pixels or how to describe this) The only thing I can find is that the bit rate of the images is about 2,8 mb/sec, which seems to be very low I think?
So should this be the cause and what to do about it, or what could be the problem ?>premiere pro CS 5.0
1st, the Mac version is up to 5.0.4 with several bug fixes and performance improvements... you need to update
2nd, more information needed... http://forums.adobe.com/message/4200840 -
Which Premiere Pro (CS6) project settings should I be using?
Hi there
I am currently trying to use Premiere Pro CS6 to edit a Skype video call I recorded using Super Tintin, and I'm not sure what project settings I should l be using.
At the moment I am selecting HDV/HDV1080i25 (50i) when I set up the project, but when I come to add the video file to the project timeline, I am told that the file settings do not match the sequence settings and I am prompted to either change the settings, or keep the existing ones.
When I select 'keep existing settings' the video appears in a very small box in the centre of a large black screen, which obviously isn't what I'm looking for. When I select 'change sequence settings', however, the video fills the screen, which is great, but the video and audio are out of synch (when I play the file outside of CS6, they are in synch). Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
If it helps, here is some info regarding the file I'm currently working with:
MP4, 9MB
Frame width: 320
Frame height: 240
Frame rate: 14 frames/second
Data rate: 529 kbps
Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks.Select a New Sequence
Select any preset in a folder Mobile & Devices
go to the Setting tab
Set the parameters of the video and audio to your video file appropriately.
Save the preset under any convenient name.
create a sequence based on your preset.
Enjoy. -
ho un mac 27" ultimo modello. ho da qualche giorno scaricato premiere cc ma si blocca spessissimo. altre volte devo fare l'uscita forzata. Avevo installato red giant e fxfactory in prova, poi l'ho disinstallato ma negli effetti di premiere ci sono ancora, come mai? saranno quelli i problemi?
Not exactly. The patch applies to both DVD and downloaded installations. If you are getting the patch via Adobe.com, pick the one for electronic installations - it's there. We had a change to our installers this cycle and will require separate patches for DVD vs. downloaded installations for the time being.
If you are running Premiere Pro CS5 that was downloaded from the site, it does not include the patched code. We never make changes to the electronic versions of the code on Adobe.com - no matter when you download CS5, it's the same as the application that's on the DVD.
If you are updating via AUM, it will know which patch to install.

Mac Premiere Pro CS5 update only for DVD installations?
Received notice that there is a patch or update for the newly released CS5 Premiere Pro for Mac. This does not appear within the app's check update menu option. Further, when the patch is located on Adobe's website, it indicates that it is for the DVD installation of PPro CS5 only. The version I work with was a download purchase, and no, it does not work with the available patch. The question is - anyone (Adobe?) know how the update is to be applied to download CS5 purchases, and why the difference anyway?

MAC: Premiere Pro won't play. Nothing happens when pressing spacebar, nor play button on timeline
Help!! Deadline looming! Nothing happens when I press play on any window or spacebar in Premiere Pro. The play button turns to stop and nothing else happens. I have also installed Premiere CS6 and everything works fine there.

I recently (14 days ago) purchased a Mac Book Pro 15.4 and increased the processor to 2.7 Quad Core Intel Core i7, increased memeoty to 16 GB 1600MHz DDR3l SDRAM, increased the storage to 512 Flash Storage. Today (10/22) an New Mac Book Pro was announce and release for purchase. This new laptop has 16 GB RAM and 512 Storage as defualt options without having to pay a premium.
After contacting the customer service I was presented with two options - since the customer service representatives/ supervisors/ leads could not locate the price differences they could not tell me how much the credit should actually have been.
1. Return the computer, have the monies returned to me and repurchase a laptop with the new standars (aproxx 2 -3 week process).
2. Take a $150.00 credit
I can say that the memory was probably $200.00 and the storage was probably $300.00.
Is there a way to get the full refund for hardware configurations that are now default?
If I had waited another 2 weeks I could have save some money and get a better video card and processor. The release of the New Mac Book Pro was not a known/ planned event.
Can you help Apple?
Thank you!You have also posted in the Mac Pro forum and not the MacBook forum. You may find many other similar experiences there. For future reference it's worth noting forthcoming upcoming Apple events and checking out some of the Apple related websites. You will then be able to make an educated guess re what is about to be updated and what is likely to remain the same. It's now a good time to buy an iPhone and all those recently updated MacBook Pro and iPad models. Less good time to buy iMacs.More detailed info here.

Mac Book Pro (Mid 2010) is no longer recognized the external monitor since Lion update.
Mac Book Pro (Mid 2010) is no longer recognized the external monitor sinceLion update. On Mac OSX 10.6, I had no problems.
Mac screen is just blue, as if he switches. But then there is no further signal.
What can I do?Bump- I have the same issue. Screen slowly dims for no observable reason until I rearrange to point it more directly at light source. Odd thing is that the light in the room does not change. So scren will be fine for hours while I am working and at some point just slowly dim until I rearrange. Any information helpful.

Adobe Premiere Pro CC Crashes on startup after upgrading to new computer monitors
Hey everybody, I am tech-savvy so go ahead and throw detailed answers at me. I recently updated to Windows 8.1 because Premiere Pro CC (version 7.2.1) crashed on startup in Windows 8. After the update to Win8.1, it worked fine with my old 19in. VGA full-screen monitors. However, after I installed new HD wide-screen monitors yesterday, I opened Premiere Pro and it started up just fine and is stable until it processes a video file. If I'm fast enough, it will successfully import a file from the media browser, but as soon as it "processes" the video in the media browser or the video in the timeline, Windows gives me the error "Adobe Premiere Pro CC has encountered an error and must be shut down". I tried every trick in the book- including changing the monitor refresh rate down from 144Hz to 60Hz, tried using an HDMI cable instead of DVI-D, and tried reinstalling Premiere Pro (restarting the computer at the proper points in the process), and tried setting it to render using no GPU acceleration (Mercury software only). Nothing seems to work. Below are the specs on my computer:
CPU: AMD FX-8120, GPU: Dual AMD HD Radeon 6670's 1GB GDDR3 each outputting to its own monitor via DVI-D Dual Link, Monitors are ASUS VG248QE 24" running 1920x1080p resolution @ 144Hz, 7200RPM Western Digital HDD.I had this same problem on my HP laptop that has two video cards. I had to dissable the Intel 4000 in order to get Premiere CC to function. However, once this one done, it was no longer possible to use the external monitor (even when I closed the lid, it simply would not recognize the external monitor). Thus, each time I'm using Premiere CC then I have to disconnect the monitor and use device managre in Win8.1 to dissable Intel. It's really a huge pain in the arse. Also, I do not have an option to choose to choose a second monitor in Win8 once the Intel is dissabled. I've updated both drivers - so, I guess that's the only solution there is for my laptop. I'd suggest not using this software with a HP laptop that has two graphics cards.
