Notebook Solution 1366x768 for PPro CS5

Hi everyone,
I'm going to buy a new Laptop and I would like to know if the screen solution 1366x768 is to low for PPro CS5. In the requirements there is a minimum of 1280x900 displayed. Does it means that the programm doesn't start or it's not recommended to work with this low screen solution?
I've got a bonus question: can the gt425m with 1024mb be used for the mercury engine? (with the hack)

>Whats the advantage of two harddisk instead of one?
One hard drive has one read/write head (or set of heads if multi-platter... all physically locked together) so that one (set of) read/write head(s) may only be in one spot on the hard drive at a time
That means that any Windows activity precludes any file activity
You really need at least 2 hard drives... I have 3...
1 - 320G WD Win7 and all programs
2 - 320G WD Win7 swap file and PPro projects
3 - 1T WD all video files... read and write

  • Third party garbage matte for ppro cs5?

    Hi there!
    I started using ppro cs5 some months ago, coming from fcp, because of the gamma issue in fcp, because of the fact that you can import Red's r3d's directly and because ppro and redcine x communicate nicely. To my amazement there's no decent way of handling a garbage matte, i.e. smoothing it or using edge feather. I'm not about to spend another large sum on after effects--if it communicates directly with ppro like redcine x I will, but I'm afraid it's a question of exporting and importing, which I really dislike--in other words: does anyone know about a third party plugin with a decent garbage matte for ppro cs5?
    Many thanks,
    Hans

    The build in gargage is no good as you cannot feather it BUT...
    ....you can make your own garbage matte in the Titler. Make a filled bezier shape in pure white.
    superimpose over you footage and add a blur to make it feather.
    Add Track Matte Effect to footage and set this to the matte.
    If you want an animated matte drop the garbage matte effect on a white color matte, add the blur and keyframe the points over time.

  • Color Finesse for PPro CS5??

    CS5 Production Premium comes with a plug in version of Color Finesse, and on my system, I see that it is installed in AE, but I cannot find it in PPro, nor can I find an obvious way to install it to PPro. I don't see any installation options on the CS5 install disks.
    Is it no longer available for PPro CS5, or am I missing something??
    Thanks

    I can only have bad experiences with CF
    stayed in time, has power but is the most clumsy out there. 
    many tools, but bad enough flow.
    And as plug-in is to be opening shot for shot, I do not like.
    if not, to correct a photo you like, you hang premiere ...
    better colorist II, to be a plugin does not get any better ...

  • Most relevant test score for PPro CS5 to run on notebook?

    Hi, I hope I didn't miss this topic anywhere in the forum. Since I am in the market for a new notebook to occasionally edit 3-5min clips of panasonic HMC 150 AVCHD material (most of the time just office work), I was wondering what the best and still affordable notebook (EUR 1500-1800) would be. Apart for a wide discussion of system requirements and recommendations I couldn't find what would be the most relevant test score to assess how well PPro CS5 is going to work. Some say you need to get a notebook for EUR 3000, some say one for EUR 1200 would still work - I guess it depends on how much you are going to edit and how much time you have. I was curious if there was such a score that serves as a guideline. For example, below you find such test scores for a Sony notebook. What would be the most informative as to whether and how well PPro CS5 will work. Any information is greatly appreciated.
    btw: I would appreciate recommendations on these two notebooks

    thank you very much for your answer. Do you think the following notebook would be suitable for occasional editing of 3-4min clips (we have got a desktop editing machine with i7, 12gb, nvidia gts250, and 4 7200 barracuda hdds)? so basically it should only be able to work as a backup editing machine in case two clips have to be finished at the same time. since there is only one hdd, I could put an sdd into it as well. and I could upgrade to 16gb ram. the reason, why this particular notebook is interesting for me, is that through a student discount I can get it for EUR 1,700 instead of EUR 2,500 (cheapest price on the market for this setup). I am aware that it won't be as fast as my desktop (which works spledidly with avchd!), but it should be faster than a retired snail overtaking during his afternoon nap ;-)
    I would really appreciate your opinion on that one or from anybody else that has particular experiences with this notebook and avchd!

  • Hardware, OS Choices for PPro CS5...

    Hi, like everyone....I'm on the continuing quest for free space!
    I have a custom box with a 500GB main drive, and a hot swappable 1T drive. Also... 8 Xeon processors and 12 gigs of ram on a supermicro server board & a GTX260 video card. All in a Thermaltake portable case! She runs sweet!!
    Never had a problem w/ the box or Vista U! And rarely have a problem w/ PP CS5...although, lately I have had Encore burning problems...which I think is related to my main drive space being down to 3 gigs!
    My biggest problem is "keeping" open space on my main drive! I now have about 25gb's in apps and "maybe" 20gigs of files on my main drive (that I can see!)... We're talking over 400GB's of used space that the OS is in control of??!!
    What gives?
    I have used utilities and qimmicks to free up "dead" & "temp" & "shadow" files but nothing substantial has happened! Except when the first time I used a utility, it freed up about 50gb's! Then it quickly disappeared within a month!! I have 3.7 gigs of free space on my drive...and it's very frustrating!
    I use this computer for both graphics and video editing & creation and store "just files" on my swappable drive...which doesn't have any issue w/ space.
    *Should I use another windows OS and be better served? I have several 64bit apps, could that be an issue w/ VistaU? How much "free" disk space is needed on my main drive for rendering/transcoding, and Encore burning?  Is there something I'm overlooking as far as utilities for freeing space?
    My box is constantly gurgling and churning while online! Everytime I startup there is a constant whittling away of my drive space!! Someone suggested keeping my box offline, and removing any, and everything not needed for vids and graphics! Seems extreme.
    I pride myself on being somewhat computer literate...but this "space issue" is a black science, and very frustrating to me!!
    Thanks for any help you can provide! Ron

    >and store "just files" on my swappable drive
    You should also consider creating your projects on your larger drive, since there are project temp files that go to the same drive as the project (you may need to TELL PPro to put the project temp files on the same drive, it's been awhile since I started a new project)

  • Notebook/Laptop optimized for Photoshop CS5

    I researching the options to get a new laptop, primarily  for photo processing in CS5, Photomatix etc (Very minimum video  editing). From my research, I have found following recommendations for optimized performance:

    - Quad Core processor
    - Faster Hard drive (preferably Solid State Drive, if budget permits)
    - Graphic Card (1GB recommended)
    I  cannot make my own machine, so I am searching online for HP, Dell,  Lenovo etc and getting following for about $1200. Any recommendations or  suggestions which can help in improving this configuration and making the right decision?

  • PPro CS5 Crash Course for Non-Linear Editors

    Backstory: I was asked this morning to teach a crash course in Premiere CS5 for the students in the film program at my school in the Introduction to Editing class who have been using FCP. They have to edit several projects using RED footage, and rather than spend a huge amount of time transcoding it to a format which FCP can work with, the prof has just decided to have his students use PPro CS5 (which is also on their editing computers). Since the prof doesn't use PPro, he's asked me to teach the class for him.
    I created a very brief crash course powerpoint to assist me in giving them the fundamentals of the program, and supply them with a resource to refer back to as they work on their projects after class is over tomorrow morning. I created this for students who already have done some editing in an NLE, and so don't need to be taught WHAT everything is and HOW to cut footage and put together a timeline. This is just to introduce editors to PPro CS5 who are not already familiar with the PPro workflow.
    Anyway, I wondered if some of you gurus would want to take a look at it and give me your feedback on what I've covered well, what I might have missed, and any other thoughts y'all had.
    You can view a PDF of the document at www.bryan.edu/pprocs5 The viewer will bring it up embedded in the page at about 40-50%, so you'd be best off to click the download link and open it in Acrobat where you can go full size with it.

    Thanks for the input!
    I actually taught hem REDCINE-X last week so that they could use it to export their files to an intermediate codec that FCP would understand, and preserve the new colorspace. Unfortunately these computers are so slow that the export process was gonna take nearly a week for all the files they need to work with, so the prof opted to swtich over to PPro midstream since it can handle the raw 4k and supports the new colorspace.
    I didn't mention the saving thing... forgot about it; but the conforming issue did come up and we were able to talk about that in class!
    The class went okay, I guess... I don't know what it is about students these days, but most of them (like all but one) weren't really paying very good attention and they were just sorta goofing off, talking amongst themselves, etc... made it really frustrating to teach this platform!
    Oh well.

  • Windows 8.1 on brandnew notebook wants 32Gb for the recovery drive

    Hi,
    Bandnew notebook, switched on for the very first time.
    First thing I want to do after setup, is make a recovery drive.
    When choosing this option, the notebook prompts me for a flashdrive of "at least" 32Gb.
    How can that be since it's brandnew?
    And more importantly, how can i recude that amount of memory needed ?
    USB performance and disk access is so terrible on that notebook that I'll have to wait for hours!
    Thx
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    It must have been a while since you bought a notebook or desktop PC.
    For about eight years or so, the industrywide solution for manufactured  Consumer notebooks and desktops has been to provide a recovery solution other than included operating system DVDs. Enterprise business notebooks and desktops  are sometimes still delivered with the OS on a DVD.
    The recovery partition contains the operating system and driver that came with your purchase. The recovery manager can be accessed on startup or by use of a USB recovery media. You can use DVD disks if you choose, but DVD recordable media is delicate and easily inadvertently destroyed. One scratch on the label side and a recovery DVD set is unuseable. that is why the preferred recovery media of choice is USB flashdrives. They are durable and execuute high speed recoveries. A recovery done by use of a recovery disk set can take 2+ hours to complete where a usb recovery flashdrive will perform that task in less than an hour.  Using double sided DVDs to make a recovery disk set is not recommended. In terms of storage spaced used in your notebook, 32GB  isn't much at all, considering what it is.

  • Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re

    Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail
    System: Windows 7
    Adobe CS5
    Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400
    Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster
    Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5
    Epson driver up to date
    After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.
    The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail  I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.
    My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:
    Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.
    When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling:  Printer manages color.  Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.
    Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.
    Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:
    What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
    Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create? 
    Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
    Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
    If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
    Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
    Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?
    I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.

    It may be possible to figure out by watching a Dr.Brown video on the subject of color printing. Adobe tv
    I hope this may help...............

  • Technical problem: PPro CS5.5 won't play DSLR MOVs

    Hello!
    I am new to PPro CS5.5 (first day, actually) and I cannot play back .MOVs from my Canon 5D Mk2 (with audio). Every other file format that I tried worked, which is quite bad because I bought the Production Premium package just to work with DSLR footage.
    It doesn't matter whether I create a sequence (still haven't figured what that is for) with/for the file or not, it doesn't matter what project settings I have. After I start the application I can play (or scrub) DSLR files for ten seconds max before the output starts to jump erratically within the clip (the playhead doesn't) and then turns green (RGB: 0x008600), sometimes interjected with images from other clips that have been played before, sometimes even garbage. There is no recovering from this. All other file formats continue to work fine. "Project New" or exiting the application then may take up to a minute while the program remains unresponsive and looks like it has crashed. It is totally unusable (the competition and every other software works fine with the files).
    I have a Win7 64Bit 3.4GHz Sandybridge system with 16GB RAM. The harddisks are large, fast and quick enough to handle DSLR video. There are no other applications running in the background (really nothing as the computer is of course not connected to the internet) and there's lots of memory and harddisk space available.
    What can I do or what did I do wrong? Thanks in advance.
       ...Mike

    To edit/play MOV you must have Quicktime installed... what version of QT do you have installed?

  • Tests with Speech-to-Text transcription in PPro CS5

    As a follow up to my earlier thread about the apparently reworked or, at least, enhanced speech transcription capability in PPro CS5, I just conducted a few tests to see if it is indeed any better than what we had come to expect of it from CS4. The results are, well, encouraging...
    QUICK BACKGROUND: I have an approximately two-minute long voiceover, verbatim from a script, professionally recorded, that was originally delivered to me as a 192kbps, 44.1kHz MP3. Since transcription won't work on MPEG assets (at least, not in the trial which is what I'm using--the files import, but the transcription "analyze" button is grayed out), I used Soundbooth to convert it to a 48kHz, 32-bit floating point WAV. I created a couple of copies, so that each one would have its own transcription metadata. I always used the High quality (slower) option.
    I ran the test four times, as follows:
    Just the WAV, without a reference script
    The WAV with a verbatim reference script as a text document (.txt), with "Script Text Matches Recorded Dialogue" option checked
    The WAV with a verbatim reference script as an Adobe Story script document (.astx), with "Script Text Matches Recorded Dialogue" option checked
    The original MP3 in Soundbooth CS4
    I've linked to a text document with the results of these tests (no editing), along with the original text from the script, if you're interested in seeing how they stack up: right-click and save as.
    As one would imagine, #1 (no script) was... not perfect. However, I think it did a decent enough job for most purposes. Granted, this was a professionally-recorded voiceover, with not competing background noise, but it was still marginally useful. What's funny to note is that the transcription process seems to trip up every now and again and then it seems to lose its momentum for awhile. It'll bobble a "difficult" word, and then for half-a-dozen words following, it's all over the place. Once it regains its footing, though, it'll be pretty much spot on for a sentence or so. Unfortunately, this repeats, but again I think you could make use of it.
    For #2, the transcription was LEAGUES better... but still not perfect. That part is bewildering to me. The transcription generated a couple weird passages--for example "Enjoy" became "and Gillian"--which I could understand if there was NO reference script. However, my impression of how the reference script should work--particularly if the "Script Text Matches Recorded Dialogue" option is activated--is that the transcription should basically copy and paste the reference script into the metadata, NOT invent words and phrases that don't exist in either the script or the dialogue/speech. This process actually preserved capitalization (though punctuation was discarded), so that means it is definitely using that reference script; there is no way to discern capitalization from the spoken word.
    I thought that maybe, just maybe, I could eliminate the anomalies by using Adobe's own script format, generated by the new Adobe Story--hence test #3. I copied and pasted the text into a new Story script, downloaded the ASTX file, and used that as a reference script as above. Unfortunately, it fared no better than the text document (I suppose this makes sense, but I was hoping...), but it was still about 98+% accurate. I'm reasonably satisfied.
    For giggles, I tried test #4, where I used Soundbooth CS4 to transcribe the original MP3 file. Since CS4 doesn't have the reference script capability, this would more or less pit the transcription engine in CS4 against that in CS5. As expected, it turn the dialogue into textual chop suey, BUT... it actually did BETTER than CS5 sans reference script did on some phrases! Observe:
    Original script: Our Club is YOUR CLUB.
    CS5, no script: our love is your laugh
    CS4, no script: our club is your class
    Mish-mash that only Mad Libs could love! For the record, the tests that used the reference scripts were spot-on, capitalization included.
    So, I'm feeling better about using this for the massive documentary and archival project I'm about to embark upon. I have human-typed transcripts for most of the interviews in this project--over 100 interviews, constituting some 200-plus hours--and keeping that text with the footage is going to be a great thing. There are some flaky things--I wish the punctuation could be preserved--but all in all, the reference script addition seems to make this feature much more plausible in a working production environment.

    Did you link the Adobe story script through OnLocation?  For some reason this is required (to my knowledge) to do an exact match.
    When you import an adobe story script into OnLocation; it creates a shot list that is linked to the script.   You then either shoot footage ot fill the shot list; OR link existing assetts to the shot list.  This creates the linkage between the adobe story script and the shot list.
    If you just add itin premire; I think it is the same as just linking a text file.   But if you have ONE assett to ONE script; perhaps you will get the same results anyway.   In Onlocation you can link multiple assets to one script.
    Then all this metadata come in to Pr script attached.
    Some more details pasted from Help:
    Improve speech analysis with Adobe Story, OnLocation, and Adobe Premiere Pro
    You can use Adobe Story, OnLocation, and Adobe Premiere Pro to create the most accurate speech analysis. Import a script written in Adobe Story into OnLocation. OnLocation produces a list of shot placeholders for each scene. Either record these shots using OnLocation during production, or link the placeholder shots to their respective video files when you import the video files into OnLocation. In either case, OnLocation embeds the text for each shot from the original script into the metadata of the shot.
    When you import the clips into  Adobe Premiere Pro, it automatically uses the Adobe Story script as a reference script. When Adobe Premiere Pro finds enough matches with the embedded script, Adobe Premiere Pro replaces the analyzed speech text with the embedded script text. Adobe Premiere Pro carries over correct spelling, proper names, and punctuation from the reference script, benefits that standard speech analysis cannot provide.
    The closeness of the match between the embedded script text and the recorded dialog determines the accuracy of matched-script text. If 100% accuracy is important, edit and revise the script text first. Ensure that the script matches the recorded dialog before using it as a reference script.

  • Partial footage/black screen when replacing footage in PPro CS5

    Let's see if I can get all the relevant info down here.
    Started off with a project in PPro CS5; using two source files (one an MP4 from a Flip cam - not the footage I am having an issue with) the other a direct-stream feed from a 3D application, converted to Lagarith. Both were dragged into the timeline and manually synced so the footage matches up - the MP4 is overlayed over the direct-stream in the corner of the frame, scaled down.
    I have been using the razor tool to cut both sequences into short clips at the same time in the timeline to maintain identical in/out points. The Lagarith-encoded stream is lower resolution than I would prefer, so due to some other additional factors I have taken the stream and scaled it up from the original 640x360 to 1280x720 using a neat app called "Video Enchancer".
    Now, here comes the issue; I have been editing with the 360p footage, and would now like to replace it with the 720p footage (basically proxy editing). "Replace Footage" function to the rescue, right? Apparently wrong.
    Once I replace the footage, most of the timeline gets diagonal stripes across the cut clips, as well as a black screen in the program monitor for preview - indicating that the footage is still missing (though no red "media offline" image). Oddly enough, of the three 360p original files I used to edit with, the first replaced perfectly fine, the second replaced fine up until a certain point, and the third didn't work at all.
    The oddest thing of all, however, is that I can view the replaced footage in the source monitor without any issues, and PPro reports no issues with either the video or the audio stream (audio is uncompressed PCM WAV). I can even drag the replaced footage (now 720p) into the timeline, and watch it in the program monitor.
    The scaled-up 720p footage is of the exact same length as the original 360p footage; down to the frame count. Both are using Lagarith - yet for some reason, replacing the 360p footage with my scaled 720p footage doesn't seem to work correctly. Even selecting "reveal in project" over one of the cut clips that shows no video/audio points me to the correct source file!
    What's going on here?
    If there is any additional info you would need or like, feel free to ask and I'll provide it. Sorry for the long post.

    I'm editing my reply, and going to post a new thread, as I figured out at least what the issue is: PPro is not detecting the correct duration of my footage.

  • Wishlist for Dreamweaver CS5 (from Adobe Website)  - Don´t let ADDT die.

    Wishlist for Dreamweaver CS5 from adobe site.
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

    Hi Günter
    It's been a long time since I've been here. Hope life is treating you well.
    Tried a lot of other DW extensions in the mean time
    None of them match the robustness of ADDT
    Most are buggy, one shot ponies that miss the bigger picture of providing integrated tools for development. All I've tried are a closed shop of functions and variables that you have to navigate by hand if you want any sort of amended functionality - on the whole a pretty poor lot.
    And, I've looked at many of the off the shelf offerings that Adobe had told us that are clients wanted rather than bespoke solutions.
    And no, most don't want them - they still just want concise tools/interfaces that are easy to learn, use and do what THEY want them to do. Not behemoth collections of options, bells an whistles. Naturally some do and I'm happy to oblige (who wants to write a forum from scratch!). So its not clear cut either way as seemed to be implied a year or so ago.
    Yes, it would be nice just to have the toolkit useable from CS5
    - but as ever, the end users are out of the picture. Maybe there will be a new version, or completely new tools - that would be most welcome.
    We still need good data tools. Integration with databases (none of my clients want to pull data from HTML tables - no matter how clever that is) and
    CSS Style frameworks that take the grind out of positioning and styling every little item.
    Gadgets and Gizmos - YUI3 looks like the one with the most backing - judging from YUI2 - have to keep and eye on that.
    Let's hope Adobe have finally put back some functionality for php mysql developers with CS5
    and the the wilderness that DW has been in for the last couple of years grows some strong roots
    best regards

  • Workflow question for PPRO CS 5.5

    Hi
    I have a question to a specific workflow for PPRO CS 5.5, Windows.
    I do like this:
    Put a videoclip to the timeline
    Shorten the right side by 30 sec. to cut off the last part.
    Put another videoclip right next to the first one, and this clip I leave as it is, so it is full lenght.
    Now my question is:
    I want to fade the first clip to black for the last 5-6 visable sec. and then go to the next clip, but here is where my trouble is.
    If I leave the two clips snapped together the transition (dissolve or dip to black) will go on the right side of the cut, and fade out in the "hidden" part of the first clip, so to say, which basicly is ok, but not what I want.
    I want the last 5-6 sec. visable video to fade out, and the only way I can get it is by dragging the two clips appart a few sec. before adding the transition.
    It is a bid hard to explain, but I hope you guys do understand what I mean.
    Maybe it is just so by design?
    Thanks for any input.

    Thanks Jim, might be the best solution.
