New pc for AE and Premiere Pro CS5

I'm in process of building a new PC.
I just started working with After Effects and Premiere Pro and my current PC is not really up to all the 1080 footage...
I currently own a E8400 with 8GB DDR2 Ram and some cheap motherboard (Intel DQ35JO) for reference.
I already own 2 x Samsung HD103SJ "Spinpoint" F3 1TB HDDs and a XFX 6850 Black Edition 1Gb which I plan to keep.
I have 2 options:
1)
Intel i5-2500K
Gigabyte P67A-UD3-B3
G.Skill F3-10666CL9Q-16GBXL Quad Kit 16GB (4x4GB) PC10600 DDR3
OCZ Vertex2 E 90GB 25/S300 SSD for system files (windows, program files, etc...)
I can get this for about 570 EUR / 820 USD
2)
Intel i7-980X ot i7-980 (is there a big difference between them performance wise?)
Gigabyte G1 Guerilla
3 x G.Skill F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL 8GB (2x4GB) PC12800 DDRS (for a total of 24GB or RAM)
OCZ Vertex3 120GB 25/S600 for system files (windows, program files, etc..)
I can get this for:
- with i7 980 - 1145 EUR / 1645 USD
- with i7 980X - 1485 EUR / 2133 USD
Will the 2nd option make that much of a difference in AE and Premiere Pro that is worth 2x-3x more money?
Thanks for opinions

Thanks for a fast reply.
Ok, let's say skip the overclocking for now (I used to overclock a ton back when it was Celeron 600 and similar CPU time , but I'm tottaly out of it now...not really on track with the overclocking of new CPUs...it used to be simple back in the days)
I'm ditching the 2500k option.
If I'm not overclocking, I could get a rather cheap motherboard
Asus Sabertooth X58
Intel i7 970/980/980X
16-24GB ram
GTX570
Combination of this is between 1150-1550 EUR / 1600-2250 USD depending on different choices.
Considering I'm not willing to overclock, is there to expect THAT much of a difference with 980X and 24GB ram against 970/980 (they're priced the same) with 16GB ram (considering it is 30% difference in price...will it be 30% faster in AE and Premiere Pro?)
I suppose this is my last question, don't want to bother you too much

Fix for crash in After Effects CS5 and Premiere Pro CS5 when Joesoft Hear audio enhancer installed

After Effects CS5 and Premiere Pro CS5 both can crash due to a conflict with the Joesoft Hear audio enhancer.
We've just gotten confirmation from Joesoft that they've released a beta version of Hear that doesn't conflict with After Effects CS5 and Premiere Pro CS5. We're recommending that our customers who also use Hear install the 1.0.5b2 (build 490) beta version of Hear.
Let us know on this forum thread whether this solution works for you. We on the After Effects and Premiere Pro teams will monitor this thread for feedback, and we'll make sure that the folks at Joesoft get the information that they need, too.
When reporting back, be sure to let us know whether you've installed the Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.2) update and After Effects CS5 (10.0.1) update.

After 2 days trying to get AE and Premiere past the mediacore initialization message, I finally stumbled on this little message. Updating Hear definitely solves the problem!

Initializing Installer... and then nothing in Photoshop CS5 and Premiere Pro CS5

Hello. I have a pretty big problem, I can't install Photoshop or Premiere Pro on my PC. I get to the " initializing installer " part, it fills to 100%, then the window simply disappears. What should I do ? My OS is XP SP3, and I have enough HDD space left - around 50gb in C: and 550gb in D:, so this isn't the problem. Also, I don't have any old installs of Photoshop / Premiere Pro on my PC. As for the windows, I've just re-installed it last week, so I'm sure that I don't have any viruses or stuff like that. One thing that I must mention - before I re-installed my windows, I was able to install both Photoshop and Premiere Pro. I hope you can help me. Thanks

Photoshop 32bit should, but Premiere Pro CS5 will NOT install on WinXP... PPro CS5 REQUIRES a 64bit operating system to install
If you really need PPro CS5, you will have to upgrade Windows to Win7 64bit... the Pro version is most used for video editing
If you bought a CS5 suite, Premiere Pro CS4 is included for those with a 32bit version of Windows

Mac OSX v10.6.5: How's it working for you with Premiere Pro CS5?

If you've installed Mac OSX v10.6.5, let us know how it's working for you.
Please make sure that you're using the most recent update for Premiere Pro CS5 before you report back. We don't want to waste our time disentangling problems that were actually fixed in Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.2) from issues that still exist.

So, here is my experience:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/751458?tstart=0
Basically:
Premiere Pro does not want to play the timeline (or the source window) anymore. Sometime it plays for 2 minutes, sometime for 2 seconde and then stops, but most of time, it wont play at all.
I can scroll over my timeline (no sound scrolling), but when I hit space bar (or clic on the play button) I can see the play button turning into a square (which mean it's now the stop button), but the timecodes doesn't run and the image doesn't play.
So I suggest people to not being stupid as I was and to wait before to update... And hope a solution to come soon.

Locked a Black Video Layer and Premiere Pro CS5 Hangs Up

Ran into a problem whereby I have on Video Layer 1 a layer of Black Video about 30 minutes long.
I have 2-4 additional video layers above and about 9 audio layers.
When I locked Layer 1 which has nothing more than a premiere pro generated Black Video layer, Premiere Pro CS5 completely froze up, became unresponsiveand not even able to move the CTI, particularly when I tried to zoom in on the layer. However when I locked any of the other video layers, not a problem. Hardly ever lock layers so didn't notice it before.
Filed a bug report but was curious if anyone ran into this problem.
Using p2 media
Timeline preset is DVC PRO HD 60. Using
Windows 7,
Intel 960 3.2GHz,
2 disc Raid 1 system drive,
3 disk Raid 5 for media,
2 disc Raid 0 for media previews

Nope, me neither. Caught me by surprise. Tks.

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.

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.

QuickTime and Premiere Pro CS5

When I go to export my project I don't see QuickTime as a format option.
Let me describe my situation. I downloaded a particular version of QuickTime (without QuickTime player) to use with MPEC Streamclip in order to copy a video from a DVD to my computer. After the file was created the video played in Windows Media Player with audio but no video. QuickTime had created a restore point so I used it to uninstall QuickTime and start over including QuickTime Player.
When I went to reinstall it I got the message "it already exists". However I don't see QuickTime anywhere and as I said, it is absent from Premiere Pro format options.
Now my questions: How do I fix this?
If I uninstall and reinstall Premiere Pro will it install QuickTime automatically or should I install QuickTime manually? If the latter is true which version of QuickTime should I install?
Please help. I am at a standstill and cannot continue with my project.

All is well now.
I checked about the QuickTime folder in Program Files (x86) and found that sometimes even though a program has been uninstalled and is not listed in the Control Panel, there could be leftover folders in the C: drive. In that case one should go ahead and deleted. I did that and then installed QuickTime 7. Premiere Pro recognized it and is now listed under the Export > Format options.
Thank for your support.

Java / Display Driver and Premiere Pro CS5

I have had problems in that the display driver stops responding when in Premier Pro CS5.
I am wondering if it might be that I don't Java installed.
Could that be it?

Your problem is not Java, it is Dual video problems

Finder causes After Effects and Premiere Pro CS5 to crash

Basically when attempting to import files into either After Effects or Premiere Pro the Finder causes them to crash. I'm not sure
if it's the Movies folder specifically thats causing it, but I'm unable to find out for sure because the Movies folder is the default
folder that comes up when I try to import. Any ideas here? I'm stumped.

What version of MacOS are you running?
If you are on Snow Leopard, you need to be on 10.6.2 or later.

New build for After Effects, Premiere Pro and C4D

I was supposed to upgrade back in december, but that project got held off because of a financial emergency, but now i got some money set aside, i'll like it if i could get advice on this build.
CPU : Core i7 5820K 6-core 3.3ghz
Cooler : Noctua NH-D15
MB : Asus X99-A
RAM : Crucial 4x8 GB DDR4 2133 mhz CL15
HDs : Already own a SSD and a few others
GPU : Asus GeForce GTX970 STRIX
PS : EVGA Supernova G2 750 watts
Case : Cooler Master HAF 932 (already owned)
I intend to overclock the processor to around 4ghz, am i well set to achieve this with this setup ?
I use After Effects the most, but i'm really digging 3D and will probably use it more and more, I guess my priority would be good render times and a smooth experience in softwares.
Thank you !

I found this post which is quite reassuring: https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/959855
"I just installed the GTX 970 into my Adobe CC environment.
INCREDIBLE. I created a 4096 sequence, scaled up a 1080 clip to full screen, applied Gaussian blur, Noise, and rotated it on two 3D axes (keyframed), with color correction....
It played back fullscreen, full speed, no dropped frames, and the GPU load never even broke a sweat beyond 19%.
My previous card was a GTX 560 SE. This is not an upgrade, it is a paradigm shift.
Premiere accepted the card after the polite "Enable this unsupported GPU" notice.
Exports (at least to H.264) are taking the card up to about 76%."

Premiere Pro CS5 will not install on a brand new PC

I am trying to install CS5 on a brand new PC running Windows 8.1 Pro . The installer says that my computer does not meet the requirements to install Premiere and AfterEffects. However, I know that the hardware meets at least the minimum requirements. Any ideas on how to bypass this and install the two components? THanks.

Hi aarroyave,
CS5 has not been tested on Windows 8.1 Pro.
64 bit support is required for After Effects and Premiere Pro CS5

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.

After Effects CS6 and Premiere Pro CS6 Long Startup and Application Hang

Problem:
After Effects and Premiere Pro CS5.5 and CS6 are very slow to start all of a sudden. Around 5 minutes to get to/by the intro dialogue box. For AE, the majority of the time is spent on the "initializing user interface." Then, if I can make a comp, and even a layer inside that comp, it will "Hang" if I attempt to open AE's General preferences for example (no preferences window ever comes up). This "hang" is what the Event Viewer in windows calls it, with the faulting module being afterfx.exe. Premiere is not much different. It makes it to the new project window fast, but after setting project parameters and creating the first sequence, I can't get into the preferences either and the application hangs. It is important to note that if I have another application open, like Chrome or Firefox for example at the time the application hangs, they will freeze as well. As soon as I kill the Afterfx.exe process, they come back to life.
I have read nearly all threads on the subject, and am struggling to find a solution:
Deleted preferences folder under my username's appdata.
Turned off Firewall (network traffic from dynamiclink, qtserver, etc was allowed, but what the hay)
ran windows system file checker/malwarebytes/rkill/rootkit detection.
checked for windows compatibility checkboxes under the file.
Uninstalled Wacom Tablet drivers
Disabled Aero
Started with ctrl-alt-shift to delete pref.
uninstalled video driver and replaced with one 6 months ago.
uninstalled, reinstalled, and tested various quicktime versions back to version 7.69
moved plugins folder
moved opengl's plugin out of the folder temporarily
Disabled all 3rd party codecs (xvid was the only one installed and for months)
reinitialized default directshow filters
checked for adobe font list (none found) and removed any fonts from 1 month ago to present.
used msconfig to selective startup without other applications/services running.
Uninstalled all adobe products, and reinstalled.
I performed all of these in a systematic manner, trying to solve the problem. None have fixed the problem.
So it doesn't seem to be a network issue, a codec issue, a plugin issue, a driver issue, font issue, or conflicting application. Any thoughts?
System Info:
PC Windows 7 pro 64-bit SP1
Core i7 - 960 24GB ram
AMD Radeon 6750 v12.10
Adobe CS6 Master Collection

Who's says that Microsoft can't debug?
I used msconfig, first disabling startup items, -same result.
Enabled all startup items, disabled all non-microsoft services - AE worked!
I re-enabled each service in turn until AE crashed.
The fault was related to an item for a video streaming device I have in my house. It was Monsoon-multimedia's Vulkano Service. Sometimes under the old name of Hava, this is an app that acts like a sling-box to send my Cable TV to my screen. It does load a couple of virtual devices in device manager, and uses a proprietary codec.
I uninstalled the vulkano streamer application and rebooted the external Vulkano device. I reinstalled the Vulkano and verified it connected to the device and could stream. Once it did, I tried AE again and IT WORKED!
I wonder if simply rebooting the Vulkano would have fixed it. Its like opening the garage door to turn on the refridgerator.
Thanks for the help!
