Moving Premiere Pro CS5.5 to laptop and back to desktop

Hi,
I have Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 on my desktop computer and I will be travelling for a month in the new year and will need to edit on the go.
Is there a way to deactivate my license/program on my desktop computer and activate it on my laptop temporarily, and then be able to take it off my laptop and put back onto my desktop computer?
Or are you only allowed to move the program/license a limited number of times?
Hope someone can help!
Thank you,
- Dannie

The license allows 2 activations... so just install/activate on your laptop... as long as you have only installed/activated once already

  • Premiere Pro CS5 Ignores error code and error_message

    My plugin reports an error when returning from PF_Command_Global_Setup, but Premiere Pro CS5 doesn't display the error message to the user.
    It correctly doesn't load the plug-in, but user's have no clue what happened.
    if (!ok){
    out_data->out_flags |= PF_OutFlag_DISPLAY_ERROR_MESSAGE;
    strcpy(out_data->return_msg,
    "MyPlug-in error\n");err = -1;
    return 
    err;

    I  learned something the hard way...
    Don't every return a -1 when your plug-in is running in Premiere. It makes Adobe Media Loader think your plug-in is bad and it will never try to load it again.
    It was a ***** trying to track this down.
    Oh, and Premiere won't display out_data->return_msg if you have one.

  • Premiere Pro CS5 when recording echos and reverbs- help pls?

    Just purchased Master Suite and when trying to record in Premiere Pro CS5 through headset set up or microphone, all good equipment, I get lots of echos and intense "reverb" I believe... tried changing settings and turning off speakers etc.. with no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated. FYI, was using Camtasia and had no problems at all.

    Can you tell us all about the acoustics of your studio?
    Also, knowing the make/models of your mics, and how they are set up would be helpful.
    Do you have the output to the speakers active? I would turn this off.
    Do you get the same problems, in other software (per Jim's suggestion), without making any other changes?
    Good luck,

  • Mac OS 10.7 and Premiere Pro CS5 not reading AVI and DV files, not rendering to Media Encoder

    Hi Folks,
    I've been wrestling with these problems since I bought my Macbook Pro running Lion (currently v10.7.3). I've had video editing and DVD authoring workflows that have worked perfectly for both CS3 and CS4 with Premiere Pro and Encore. I used to be able to import DV and AVI files and render timelines to Adobe Media Encoder so I can make DVD projects in Encore but it seems there are a lot of broken bits and pieces either with 10.7 or with CS5 or both. I've tired creating new projects or re-editing CS4 Premiere Pro projects that I can still edit with CS4 on my old Macbook Pro with 10.6.8. In fact I've given up on CS5 and I've gone back to my old laptop to edit. My problems with CS5/5.5 are:
    1     Can't import DV files - error message saying this is an unsupported format
    2     Can't import AVI files - error message saying this is an unsupported format
    3     When I export media and try to use Adobe Media Encoder (AME) the render queue doesn't respond to the files being sent from Premiere Pro (PPro). I have to render the files one at a time from within PPro. I have no idea where the queued files go but even if I have AME open it doesn't respond. In CS4 AME would open automatically and wait until I told it to render the files.
    4     In Encore I've had trouble burning to DVD. I have to make an ISO file and then burn that using Toast. I'n not particularly fussed about this but while I'm unloading I may as well give you the full picture.
    Basically I'm really hating this vcersion of CS5/Mac OS. Lion is like using Vista from what I can tell. On my PCs I went from XP to Windows 7 so I kinda avoided all that pain it it seems the computer gods are smiting good and proper now. I don't care whose fault it is I want Apple and Adobe to fix it or if some kind soul can share their experiences and hopefully how they fixed it I'd be eternally grateful until the next upgrade totally blindsides us all.
    Thank you in anticipation --> Mal/Melboure/AU

    Sorry for your troubles.
    Pr 5.5.2 is still a bit persnickety for me on 10.6.8, but overall, it's still faster than FCP7 and MC6, and overall pretty dependable.  Imports and plays AVI files just fine.
    Lion still isn't ready for prime time, from what I've seen.  Like all Mac OS releases, it probably won't be until 10.7.6 or so.  And that may never happen, becuase 10.8 is purported to be just around the corner.
    So, my advice is, if possible, go back to what works, 10.6.8.

  • Premiere Pro CS5.5 Upgrade is Downloaded and Installed, but 5.0 Isn't Updating

    Hi there. I may be missing something very simple here, but here goes: I already have Premiere Pro CS5 on my system, and I just purchased, downloaded and installed the 5.5 upgrade a little while ago, but CS5 isn't upgrading. It's still opening as Version 5.0.3.
    It didn't ask me for my serial number at installation, which made me think it found what it was upgrading, and I've tried restarting, but to no avail.
    Any help is much appreciated. Am I missing a step?
    Thanks!
    Stephen

    Hi,
    Premiere pro CS5 and Premiere Pro CS5.5 are installed as seperate programs.
    So Premiere Pro cs5.5 might have installed as a seperate program.
    Check the all program list for the same.
    If you face issues, just contact adobe technical support.

  • Premiere Pro CS5 unstable on (two) Macs - Help!

    We've had Premiere Pro CS5 for a while and have tried using it a lot over the months.  The problem is it's not very stable on either of out Macs so we keep going back to FCP7 for major projects.
    Given Apple's recent discontinuation of support for pro video apps issues (I can't wait for FCPX to mature) and the massive transcoding delays we're currently facing in order to use FCP7 I'd really like to get Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.3) to a place where we can use it day-in-day-out and be able to rely on it.   I can accept that software occasionally crashes - but that's not where we're at.  It crashes 10 times a day!  
    System 1:
    Mac Pro - 8 core 16GB Ram, 4xSATA HDDs (1 boot 3xRAID), ATI 5770, 30" main monitor, 23" second monitor
    Software installed includes Production Premium (5.0.3), Final Cut Studio (FCP7, Motion 4 etc), Lightroom 3, Aperture 3]
    Snow Leopard 10.6.7 (fully updated)
    System 2:
    iMac 27" i7 Quad, 12GB Ram, 1 SATA drive, external Firewire Drives, ATI 5770, 24" second monitor.
    Software installed includes Production Premium (5.0.3), Final Cut Studio (FCP7, Motion 4 etc)
    Snow Leopard 10.6.7 (fully updated)
    Just some simple stuff....
    If I ever touch the handle to move a window while playing - it crashes.
    Multicam crashes.
    Moving clips on the sequence - sometimes crashes
    Right clip and remove filters - crashes most of the time
    Using the Colorista II plugin - if PPro tries to auto save a project while using the plugin - it crashes
    These are just a few examples.   It crashes a LOT.
    So, are there any known incompatibilities between software installations?  The iMac was a clean install not that long back.
    Are there any known compatibility issues with these sets of hardware?  If so, what?  How do I fix them?
    PPro also crashed when I had the older ATI card in the Mac Pro.
    HELP!

    > Can you point me to the change log to see what I'd lose by going back to 5.0.0 ?
    Here are the details of what changed in 5.0.3 and 5.0.2.
    > Do you have a ballpark idea of release time (in weeks rather an that days or hours
    I'm prohibited from saying exactly---in case something goes wrong and we need to change it---but it will be very, very soon.
    > I see CS5.5 trial can now run with all the codecs.  If I download this
    will it run side by side with 5.0.3 on my system for 30 days while I
    evaluate it?
    Yes, the trial version is made to run just fine on a system that has the previous version on it.

  • Premiere Pro CS5 Playback and Performance Issues

    I upgraded (2) separate editing work stations to CS5 from CS4 about a month ago. I moved from 4 to 5 to try and get rid of some problems which both work stations were encountering.
    The problems since the upgrade are similiar: playback from timeline has intermittent audio drop out and video going to black during playback, (new one)-video locked up but audio kept playing-system hung and had to be rebooted.
    Also, when clicking around on the timeline or scrubbing the timeline, Premiere crashes.
    This type of performance on playout or timeline usage is consistent on both machines which have indentical setups and builds. None of this happens all the time but happens enough to causes problems with workflow. We edit on the work stations, dub files to playback system for air, and use a shared server to move files back and forth as needed but files are always stored locally instead of using straight from server.
    These machines are:
    Premiere Pro CS5.02
    OS  WIndows 7 Pro 64 bit
    12 GB Ram, DDR3-1333 (6-2GB modules)
    CPU Intel Xeon Quad Core [email protected] GHZ, 2 processors, 8 MB Cache
    500 GB SATA 2 hard drive, 7200 RPM, 32 MC (System Drive)...309 GB of space avail
    (3) 1 TB SATA 2 hard drives, 7200RPM, 32 MC (3 TB, RAID0 STorage) 2.16 TB of space avail
    Nvidia GE Force 9800 GT Graphics card, DUAL DVI, 1 GB
    REaltek High Def Audio, Drivers 6.0.1.5953
    (1) monitor in use
    output of system runs to ADVC-700 breakout box to feed playback system
    I have all of my software installed on C: (309 GB of 500 GB avail)
    I have all of my videos files stored on D: (Raid Storage with 2.16 TB of 3 TB avail)
    The only changes I've made since installing CS5 would be to change the auto save from 20 minutes to 60 minutes. Don't know if an auto save would cause an issue on playback as I've noted above.
    I'm not a computer whiz by any stretch of the imagination but I can follow directions if given for testing/eval.

    Do the PPBM5 Benchmark and send the results to me by PM, in addition to sending the results to Bill as indicated. I'll have a look at what might be going on here.

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

    CPU - Intel i7 980 3.33GHz
    RAM - 12GB (6 x 2GB) Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600
    PSU - 850watt Corsair
    Graphics Card - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570
    C: Drive - 600GB Velociraptor (with only program files stored on the drive)
    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!
    Drew Norton

    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.

  • Why do Encore CS5 and Premiere Pro CS5 have intermittant Sync issues?

    I am noticing that Encore CS5 is "buggy" regarding sync issues with material edited by Womble and Corel Video Studio and I am guessing other programs as well?
    In high definition I take AVCHD and  edit in Corel Video Studio.  If I leave the project as one single 42 minute segment and import this asset into Encore CS5, more often than not there are bad sync issues.  To get around this I have to divide the 42 minute project into approximately 6 smaller ones- Each smaller asset ends where I had done the editing.  Encore does not have any problems now with these 6 smaller assets.
    In standard definition I edit in Womble and export as a MPEG2 Program.  Sometimes Encore has a problem with the asset sync and sometimes it does not.  (I am guessing about 20% of my assets end up with a problem).  The same asset if brought into TMP or brought back into Womble does not have any sync issue.  If brought into Premiere Pro CS5 it will exhibit the same behavior as Encore- If Encore has a sync problem, so will Premiere Pro.  So to get around this I then have to go back to the original womble file and break it up into smaller pieces, at every edit point I cut and export the smaller file just after the end of the transition I applied.  With a 6 hour project I may end up with dozens of small files to get around this problem- not very efficient.
    Any ideas how to fix this or why Encore is so buggy?  Would moving the original assets around in Womble- example taking something that was at the end of the timeline and then moving it to the beginning cause these issues for Encore?   Or is there some other cause?
    Encore CS5
    Premiere Pro CS5
    Windows 7 64 BIT
    Quad core
    2.4 GHZ clock speed
    6GB memory
    150 GB free space on drive
    NVIDIA GEFORCE 8500 card

    I've used VideoReDo in the past, which I believe has some similar strategies to Womble.  I found when I tested streams, that there were often problems in the source streams, and that the fix was not 100 percent.
    You may also find such files that are not 100 percent the same length video to audio.
    In any event, the possibility other than Encore being buggy is that the files you are bringing in have problems when Encore tries to validate them.  I'm not saying Encore doesn't have its problems, but clean mpeg files do not have sync issues ordinarily.
    For some scenarios, I like your workflow (edit mpeg files in a frame accurate mpeg editor that is not retranscoding the whole file), but the results are often not consistent.
    You don't say, and I would certainly look at, the nature of the audio stream you are using.  I can not tell you what the problems are, but some streams just do not edit well, even though they may play back okay in some players, but still have issues in Encore and/or Premiere.

  • Are these good laptops for Premiere Pro Cs5?

    Okay so I will be going off to college soon (September) and I will be buying my first laptop for this reason, but I will be doing full HD videos on it. I help photographers and videographers with photo retouching and video editing as well as making music videos and I need a laptop that will handle Premiere Pro Cs5 (acutally the whole production premium suite). I can't buy a desktop yet because my first semester is abroad and I can't travel with much weight. These are the ones I have been looking at:

    I'm open to sugestions but I won't buy anything from HP, Sony, or Toshiba because I have had problems with their products.
    Also would an intel core i5 handle Premiere and After Effects?
    I usually make 3 to 4 videos and 100 images every 10 days but I can reduce the production to 2 and 70 if I have to.
    Thank you in advance.

    I recently purchased the Dell Studio
    16 XPS with SSD and an i7 processor to do
    nothing but Photoshop, Lightroom, and PP CS5
    processing for approx 2 TBs of past & present video
    footage  (including AVCHD) and full HD 24P and 30P
    footage from my DSLR; I run WIN 7 with 64 bit in 8 GB ram; all
    my cache's are on the SSD and I have gigabit network
    that serves up my source files at approx 40-70 MBytes/sec
    (depending on the file or files); I use the QNAP TS259 Pro as
    my NAS; the Dell has the ATI hi-performance graphics card
    that only partially takes advantage of the Mercury Playback
    Engine(no hardware acceleration with the ATI); I'm extremely
    happy with the technologies; I can do the majority of my video
    editing W/O pre-rendering altho at times for precision stuff I do
    pre-render; having the historical perspective of using PS & PP since
    1997 on Windows platforms I can assuredly tell you that the
    performance and productivity uplifts from the marriage of these
    software & hardware technologies is nothing short of miraculous;
    I couldn't be happier; don't skimp on your laptop: 1)i7 2)8GB or more
    DDR3 RAM 3) fast disks or SSD  4)HD capable monitor and 5) graphics
    card that preferably takes full advantage of the Mercury Engine; you'll need
    to shell out about $2500 for all of this (excluding the 30" monitor that I use with mine)
    Hope this helps....

  • I had to re-install Premiere Pro CS5 and now video are files acting funny...

    Hello. I had to reformat my system drive and did a fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and then I did an anytime upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I then re-installed Premiere Pro CS5. Here's the problem. When I open any of my projects that I worked on BEFORE I re-installed Premiere (when I was using Windows 7 Home Premium), the video files on the timeline all look corrupted when I play the timeline now. They have these weird block artifacts and also a constant pulsing thing going on. I deleted all the media cache files and all the media cache database files but, nothing changed even though Premiere conformed every single video file in the project again. Then, I went to "Sequence" and hit "Render Entire Work Area" and after Premiere was finished rendering, I noticed the artifacts and pulsing are completely gone BUT, the video files look like a VHS tape that has been recorded over a few times. The edges of people and things in focus aren't nice and sharp like they were before I re-installed Premiere. I DO NOT have the time or patience to have to delete all the video files and import them again into the project and re-edit the entire scene! Can someone please help me resolve this problem?! I am about done with Premiere!
    Is there a way to delete the video source files that are on the left side of the timeline (next to the "Source" window, where they got imported into the project) without deleting the edited video files on the timeline and then re-import the same source video files into the project, kind of like "refreshing" the video files? If this is possible, it seems like this would fix the problem without me having to re-edit everything again.
    *Update*  My idea of just re-importing the source video clip won't work either. I deleted one of the source video clips, which deleted its reference clip on the timeline, and I re-imported the video source clip to see if it would play all weird in Premiere and sure enough, it has the same exact block artifacts and pulsing effect like all the other source clips in the project. It seems that if that's the case, it might be a codec problem. But, that doesn't make sense because if I open the clip on my hard drive with Windows Media Player or Allplayer, the clips plays perfectly fine and looks like it is supposed to. So, it must be a codec problem in Premiere??? Could it be that Premiere Pro CS5 doesn't work well with Windows 7 Professional? I find that hard to believe. Can someone please help me?
    By the way, all the video clips in the project are from my Panasonic GH1 or my Panasonic GH2. They are all 1080p/24 AVCHD. I even made a new sequence within the same project making sure the sequence settings are AVCHD 1080p 24 and still nothing is fixed.

    Have you tried exporting a 10 second section of the footage to see if the issue shows up once the seqeunce is actually exported from the timeline. I edit on CS5 with windows 7 pro at work quite often and have no issues so I assure you that isn't the issue. I also edit with AVCHD footage when at home and work quite freqeuntly as well so I'm positive that isn't the issue. It sounds like a GPU driver has been corrupted in the way it interacts with premiere pro. What type of GPU do you have? If it supports MPE's GPU acceleration have you tried turning it off and seeing if that makes any difference?
    Anyways though try to export a 10 second test section of your timeline to see if when the clip is exported from premiere it will play normally in windows media player or vlc or w/e media player you want to use. If it exports fine then you can almost be positive it's a corrupted video card driver. If that's the case I'd re-install your GPU's driver and also check your gpu makers website to see if they have a updated driver avaiable.

  • How to work with Premiere Pro cs5.5 and After Effects cs5 together?

    I have edited my movie in premiere pro cs5.5 and made the rough cut. In premiere, i have edited the video, put in soundtrack and foley. Now, i need to add muzzle flashes & blood splatters in some scenes and final color correction using After Effects cs5.
    When i import the premiere project in AE and make the changes, and then i export it back as premiere project. When i open this prmiere project, it shows vaious kind of errors and no changes are retained that i did in AE. Also, when i import the premiere project (which has 4 different sequences) in AE, all the media that has been imported in the premiere project also opens in AE making it difficult to organize the media.
    How should i work now so that i add vfx and color correction using AE cs5?
    I thought of exporting the video from Premiere pro and then open the video in AE and add vfx to some scenes and color correction to the full video and render it out again. But, this is the first time i am using AE and i am not sure if this is the best way. PLEASE HELP.
    Or, i could import the whole project in AE, add vfx, do color correction AND then export to video from AE. But i think, it will be better if i export the video from Premiere as it has loads of options to choose from while exporting to a movie.
    The dynamic link does not work between Premiere Pro Cs5.5 and After Effects cs5. Even if it does, its not working on my pc.
    All the footage is in HD and i want the final result in best quality HD too. PLEASE Help!

    If you are working between After Effects and Premiere Pro but with versions that are not the same number, you need to just work with movies rendered and exported as intermediate, lossless files.
    Dynamic Link only works between After Effects and Premiere Pro of the same version number, and only when they are installed as part of the same suite.

  • After having to reinstall my drive with applications I get a message with Premiere Pro CS5 that it can't find any "capable video play modules" and asks me to "update" my "video display modules". How do I do this? I am using a mid-2010 iMac 27" with 10.7.3
