OS X 10.5.6 CS4 Premiere Pro CONFLICT with VST plugins? Application CRASH

Hi everybody,<br /><br />just tried to run the trial of premiere cs4. the application crashes on startup without even completing the initialization. instead a bug report comes up while the program scans the installed units / vsts-plugins that are already on my system (MBP 2years old, 4GB RAM). i have several vst-instruments installed for use with logic.<br /><br />what i figured out is: <br /><br />if i move my folder <harddisk>/library/audio/plug-ins/vst - folder (so premiere does not find the vst-plugs) the program works just fine.<br /><br />so my questions:<br />1. can i manually set a different folder for premiere to scan for plugins? o obviously do NOT want to move that folder back and forth every time i switch between premiere and audio-applications<br />2. is there a way to make premiere "understand" my vst-plugs (such as massive etc.)<br /><br />HAS ANY OF YOU EXPERIENCED THE SAME / ANY HINTS?<br /><br />I am really looking forward to your ideas - thank you very much in advance!

Superb, thanks a lot.
What I addionally tried (and it worked in most of the cases) is to move all vst plugs into a different folder and then replace one by one. the ones who force the crash go to trash (incl. ALL files on your system --> http://www.native-instruments.com/index.php?id=niosxtut2&L=2) and reinstall AFTER CS4 HAS BEEN INSTALLED. obviously the "rank" is important.
my probs are solved, thank you!

  • Windows Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit for running CS4 Premiere Pro

         Greetings, I need some advice on whether to upgrade my computer or not!  I am currently running CS4 Premiere Pro (ver 4.2.1) with HD 1080 footage. My computer is a HP d4999z Image maker (Pavillon) using Vista 32-bit OS. It has an AMD 9600 Quad-core processor 2.3 GHz (ADM phenom 64 Nvidia), Ram is 4 GB, Windows Vista Home Prem (service pak2), a Nvidia GEForce 8800GT, creative SB-x-Fi, 3 internal HD and 2 external HD.
         I use PremPro CS4 for video editing of my HD footage. I am a serious amateur, and not a professional. HP says that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate on my current computer and go from 4 GB ram to 8 GB, but 8GB is the max. So my question is... will an upgrade like this (Wind 7/64 and more RAM), give me  significantly faster or better processing? And is Windows 7/64 Ultimate a more stable platform on which to run CS4?
         Eventually, I will go to CS5; but not on this computer.  Probably late next year for the new computer.
         Thanks for any advice.  Jean

    Jean,
    I think that you will find Win7-64 with an increase in RAM will offer a bit more stability and performance gain, though only a 64-bit program will get you a real increase. Whether the "bang for the buck" is enough to justify the move, is another matter. Harm and Bill G. can probably quantify that increase in performance for you, to help with the decision.
    One caveat that I might offer would be the 64-bit drivers currently available. Word on the street indicates that that situation will likely improve with Win7-64 SP1. As you will be using CS4, you should not have the issue with Effects, CODEC's, etc., being 32-bit, even if you have a 64-bit OS.
    Good luck, and expect a couple of folk to have some real-world numbers for you, to help you make the final decision.

  • CS4 Premiere Pro No-Response in 64-bit Win7PC, i7 CPU, 16G Memory .... frustrated :)

    CS4 Premiere Pro hang in a new 64-bit Win7 PC, i7 CPU, 16G Memory .... frustrated
    (video no response, but audio is on)
    I have no idea what the root cause is:
    1. Win 7 vs. XP issue; OR
    2. 32-bit vs. 64-bit; OR
    3. CS4 needs to be upgraded to CS6?
    Need your help, how to fix it?
    Really Appreaciate!

    Dear Ann:
    Thank you for your reply!
    It seems no others know this, I guess your assumption is correct;
    I tested my previous project, they run well.
    If it is clips problem, how can I fix it?
    I downloaded your suggested Media Info, but don't know how it can work yet.
    Thank you so much!

  • RE: CS4 Premiere Pro - what is best to backup/archive video to minimize size

    RE: CS4 Premiere Pro -> what is best to backup/archive video to minimize size?
    I use export>media to adobe media encoder. I am using the avi. the avi file generated seems large. i.e. for 27 minutes the file is 6 gb.
    what is the best format to use to minimize file size?????
    any help will be appreciated and thks in advance.

    >what is best to backup/archive video to minimize size?
    That's the wrong question to ask. Ideally you don't change anything about the original media for backup. It's size it it's size, and you get enough of whatever you nee to accommodate that.

  • Capture problem with trial SW (CS4 Premiere Pro / Canon DM-MV1E,OPTURA in USA)

    Hi,
    I have used this camera earlier with older premiere 6.5 with Canopus DVRaptor-RT firewire. Those files I can not use with CS4 Premiere because Canopus is using their own codec?
    Now I try with CS4 Premiere Pro with motherboard firewire (Asus P5AD2-E Premium).
    Timeline is running in capture window during capture but there is no video and no audio (and no file....). During capture "Capture duration" is 0. When I stop capture there is text "Recorder captures no frames".
    Device control works ok (atleast Rew, Play, Stop, FF).
    Yes I know my camera is old...... Is it so that this camera don't work anymore with this SW?
    Asko

    I am having a similar issue with trial ver. PPR CS4  but with a Panasonic AG DV2000.
    Where did you find the MV1 setting or was that something to do with your cannon settings?
    I have  the trial ver. loaded on a windows 7 64 box.
    I get message to reset my VTR.
    No video in capture window.
    I currently use the same VTR with Premiere 6 with no issue.
    Any ideas ?

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 with Blackmagic Multibridge Pro

    After having upgraded to Premiere CS5 and Blackmagic 7.6.4, I am experiencing a short list of undesirable video playback results (that were not present in CS4 with Blackmagic 7.6).  The issues are likely specific to Blackmagic with Premiere, so I'll spare everyone the details for now -- If anyone out there is using a similarly equipped system, please chime in--I'd like to run some of this past you, see if you're having the same issues and troubleshoot either way.  Thanks!

    In the time since my original post, both Adobe and Blackmagic have released several updates, resolving most of the issues which led me to start this thread. Still, there are always quirks and curiosities specific to each editing system and its unique configuration, so I'll just bump this thread with an open invitation to anyone--with problems, questions, kudos or curiosities--regarding the use of Adobe Premiere Pro software with Blackmagic Design hardware.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 keeps lagging and crashing

    My Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 keeps lagging and crashing to a point where I cannot do my job. When I open my premiere file, I can work on my timeline for maybe two or three minutes before it lags, freezes, and then finally crashes. I'm at a loss of what exactly is causing my problem because I edit primarily H.264 files and my sequences are not complex in any sense of the word. I've been dealing with this for days and I cannot seem to find a solution. If anyone has any advice please let me know because I am desperate. Thank you.

    Hi Dana,
    Can you go to File-Project Settings-General and change the video renderer to Software Only Mode.
    Check if that works or not.
    Are you using any third party plug-in's for Premiere Pro?
    Thank You

  • How can I burn a dvd now that I can't download premiere pro cs6 with Encore?

    How can I burn a dvd now that I can't download premiere pro cs6 with Encore?

    Here's what you do to get Premiere CS6 + Encore:
    Just click here (it's the same link as the more information link in CC.)
    or
    Go to your Creative Cloud application (on the menu bar) and go to Adobe Premiere CC and click more information
    There is a dropdown menu that says "Adobe Premiere Pro CC" near the top.
    Click it and the other option is "Adobe Premiere Pro CS6."  Select that.
    Now on the top right corner of the page it has a download button that says "Download Adobe Premiere Pro CS6."
    It is included in your CC subscription.
    However, a word of warning, you cannot use Adobe Dynamic Link to link to a Premiere CC sequence directly in Encore.  A CS6 sequence still works fine, but if you have a CC project, you will need to encode your sequence into a DVD friendly format (MPEG2 file).  I'm really hoping that Adobe changes this in their upcoming release, and just adds the ability to import CC sequences into Encore, then I would be fine with them not including it in the normal CC package, or updating it.  But I haven't seen anything about it in the release notes.
    A lot of people still want their DVDs and it's a lot easier to just dynamically link the sequence.

  • Premiere Pro Timeline with 3 video channels and 4 audio channels, audio channels change to 8 channels when clip dragged onto timeline.

    Premiere Pro Timeline with 3 video channels and 4 audio channels, when clip dragged onto timeline audio channels change to 8 channels. Audio track mixer changes too. I edit undo to remove dragged clip and it reverts back to 4 channels of audio on timeline as does the audio mixer?  Any ideas as to why the audio channels and mixer changes?

    you can check the clip you are dragging to the timeline, if it has 8 tracks... can check by right clicking it in the project bin, choose modify, audio channels.

  • Video doesn't play in CS4 Premiere Pro trial version

    I have just installed the trial version of Premiere Pro CS4 and for some reason none of the types of vidoes I import work. I have tried AVI from a miniDV camera which I have used and edited before on Premiere pro 1.5. It only seems to show the first frama of the track in some random colour and bits of the picture are missing. The computer is running Vista and has all the requirements to run CS4 so why is it not working?

    Come on I could really use some help here! Anyone with an idea would help.

  • CS4 Premiere Pro General file format & preview problems

    I was redirected here after posting my complaint on Twitter, so please excuse my forum manner.
    I've been using Adobe Premiere Pro (CS4) for about a year now, and I've been editing videos along with other packages with no problem. (Only problem being my slow processor). Up until last week Premiere Pro has been completely fine. But seeing I have a project deadline next month, I thought I would spend a day trying to kick-start the video editing.
    My source videos were originally photograph-frames animated in Flash CS4 into .MOV, decided to use the H.264 output codec. As I have finished exporting my needed videos, I imported them into Premiere Pro as usual, as I have in the past. But then I encountered the common problem that I have seen quite a few have also encountered with .MOV, or jsut general "no-preview" problem when the source video is fine.
    I then took a day to research online about Premiere Pro's compatability with .MOV, among other container and formats. Upon using softwares such as MediaInfo and GSpot, I found that there might have been a problem with missing Codecs within my Adobe package. I then tried to convert the .MOV into .MPG (mpeg2), hoping such standard codec would work with Premiere Pro as they they in the past. No result avail.
    I then turned to the uninstall route (retaining user info) and re-installing. The problem has NOT been fixed, what's more is that it crashes almost instantly after I try rendering the workplace. (Even post-rendering does not show the preview, but the files in the Adobe folder, does). Here's a screencap to my latest workplace, if it helps:
    [IMG]http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k83/neo0031/AdobePreProcap.jpg[/IMG]
    Before the re-install, I believe I was running Premiere Pro CS4's latest update (4.2.x) something, now it is back to 4.0.0. But I don't think that is where the main problem is? I recently changed my locale from a certain language to Japanese to run a certain program. Would that be causing the problem(s)?
    Does anyone know a way that I can FIX this? Any help is appreciated and I thank you all in advance.
    I am using a Sony Vaio NS series laptop,
    a 2.0 GHz Intel Pentium Dual Core processor
    3GB RAM,
    intergrated graphics Intel Chipset Family Series 4( I think).
    Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit.
    I tried moving the Scratch disks from an external portable hard drive to the local hard drive, to no result.
    Again, any help is appreciated. I would appreciate direct advice rather than links. Thanks again.

    I have updated my CS4, Ppro to 4.2.1. The problem still remains. Would it have anything to do with my project setting? I don't have much knowledge to setting one up. The difference between the AVC projects and etc?
    EDIT : I took the problem to my lecturer, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but his "magic touch" click on the preview panel (Main composition) has made the video show up! But even after render, it won't play. But scrubbing along frames is now fixed. Any idea what's causing the no-preview-playback?
