Pr. Pro. CS5 and QuickTime

I am truly frustrated with the software. I have up dated both adobe yesterday and Nvidia Quadro 5,000. When I send my projext to encore it says ithas faile to initialize QuickTime. I have read much of the threads but haven't seen a solution. Is there one and if so plaese let me know.

You are sending your project to Encore via Dynamic link ?
From After Effects or Premiere Pro ?
What’s the OS and version ?
Right click and launch After effects / Premiere as administrator if you are on windows…

Premiere Pro CS5 and After Effects CS5

Hi I'm fairly inexperienced when it comes to Adobe products. I was wondering whether Premiere Pro CS5 and After Effects CS5 can be used together, for instance Premiere Pro to do the basic editing and After Effects to do some more advanced stuff before importing the clip back into Premiere Pro for exporting the film.

Yeah.

Adding Flash Player 11 support to Flash Pro CS5 and CS5.5

Yes you could but that also displays the debug movie console which is uneccessary if you just want to quickly test your movie.
I find myself using Test Movie hundreds of times a day and I just want a clean, quick, uncluttered view of how my work will look.
I do use Debug Movie but only occasionally.
More importantly though is that I'm not sure FP11 is ready yet. Its got a pretty horrible bug that really affects my work:

Premiere Pro CS5 AND/OR After Effects ?

Hi guys,
I am quite new, I have only done one videoproject and that was in Premiere Pro CS4. Now I got a new machine and have both Premiere Pro CS5 and After Effects. I have started learning AE from some videos and it is quite impressing what you can do there. So I hope I can use AE to improve my videos.
My question is, shall I do the project in PPCS5 and then connect to AE for making special effects on clips or shall I do the whole project in After Effects ?
If I choose AE for the project, will I miss some functions from Premiere Pro?
Many thanks in advance !
Sven

Thanks for that.
I also posted the same question in the After Effects Forum and got some good answers there. I got this link that is very helpful.

So now I hope I am on track again!
Thanks again.

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.

Exporting from Premiere Pro CS5 and DVD authoring

I have a reoccuring problem with Premiere Pro and authoring DVDs. This is how it goes.
I shoot a video using a Canon 5D Mark III. 1080p 24.
I then edit in Premiere Pro CS5, with proper settings on the sequence which are the preset Digital SLR > 1080p > DSLR 1080p24.
Everything is hunky dory.
Then I have to export...and the frustration ensues...
I export using the HDTV 1080p 24 High Quality export preset with the H.264 export codec. This gives me a decent .mp4
I then bring this file into Encore and author the dvd. I used the regular dvd and the blue ray export settings as a test, but the video always ends up looking horrible with artifacts all over the place, especially on areas of high contrast. It looks like a badly compressed .jpg.
This happens at various times when exporting animation/motion graphics from After Effects also. When I use a ramp in the background, the gradient is often very banded...
When I rent a movie from the video store, the images and type look good on whatever i play the dvd on or watch it through. When I burn a dvd, it looks universally bad using all kinds of players on all kinds of monitors, projectors, etc...
Can anyone lead be in the direction of an article or video that will thoroughly explain this so i can learn it once and for all?
Thanks in advance.

Jim, lol.
Thanks everyone as usual.
So, should my composition settings for after effects be set to 24 or 23.976 and can i render them as 16 bit?
Will this reduce the banding and artifacts along with using dynamic link? Or will it ultimately be 8 bit by the time the dvd is burned and go back to the banding....?

Optimal Hard Drive Configuration for Premiere Pro CS5 and Pro Tools

I am in the process of upgrading a workstation that is used primarily for multi-track audio recording in Pro Tools to use the following Adobe CS5 products for production of promotional videos in HDV (and AVCHD for the web) as well as printed marketing materials for bands and musicians: Premiere Pro, Encore, Photoshop, Illustrator and Soundbooth.
Since Premiere Pro is probably the most demanding application of the group, I have been studying the suggested hardware configurations on this forum with great interest, particularly HARM's suggestions (including his Generic Guideline for Disk Setup) to determine which hard drives to purchase and the optimal manner in which to configure them.
I am upgrading an HP Z800 with dual quad core 2.44 GhZ processors with hyperthreading (16 virtual cores), 12 GB of memory and an overclocked GeForce GTX 470. Without setting up a RAID configuration (which I cannot afford at the moment), I would like to use the 4 available HDD bays in the Z800 in the optimal manner for Premier Pro, using currently available drives. I am currently considering purchasing a 300GB VelociRaptor to use as my C drive because of the extended load times and demands placed on the drive by ProTools and the associated Waves plug-ins.
I would appreciate suggestions to improve my following plan: C (300GB WD VelociRaptor) for OS and Programs; D (1 TB WD Black Caviar) for Media and Projects; E (1 250 GB WD Black Caviar) for Pagefile (approx. 18 GB) and Media Cache; and E (2 TB WD Black Caviar) for Previews, Exports and Pro Tools audio files.
I have great respect for the knowledge of the members of this forum and eagerly await your suggestions.

I very much appreciate the responses to my email because I know that all of your time is valuable and that you have chosen to use some of that valuable time to help an unknown individual. This forum is remarkable because of the wealth of knowledge available and the willingness of so many to assist others.
I now wish to narrow my questions to save you time and so that I can get specific advice. I may not have not been clear that I have already upgraded to the HP Z800 with dual quad core processors and overclocked GTX 470, primarily for the improved performance it will provide in ProTools. My question now is how to optimize its performance for Premiere Pro CS5. Based upon my research, I am considering the following two upgrades, but I am open to other suggestions if they would provide better results at a similar cost
1. I am considering purchasing a 600GB WD VelociRaptor ( WD6000HLXH) for my C drive on which I would place OS (Windows 7, 64 Bit) and programs in an effort to reduce loading times of large programs. I have two questions: (1) Are members of the forum seeing a significant improvment in program loading times with the VelociRaptor because I am still not convinced that the price performance of SSD's justifies their use; and (2) There are so many models of VelociRaptors now that I want to be certain that I am purchasing the best version for my needs. In addition to the usual 10000 RPM speed, this model has 32MB Cache and a 3.5" form factor as well as a SATA 6.0GB/s interface (which I doubt my motherboard can take advantage of but it might extend the useful life of the drive with future configurations).
2. I currently have available for installation in the Z800 the following drives: (1) WD 2TB Black Caviar; (1) WD 1TB Black Caviar; (2) Hitachi 1TB. I believe that the Z800 can accept up to 5 SATA hard drives which I will have if I purchase the Velociraptor. Although I am reasonably knowledeable when it comes to hardware, I have never set up a RAID configuration. Therefore, it would be helpful if someone could recommend one of the various RAID configurations and brieflyexplain why it would seem to be best for my needs. I can then focus my research on understanding that one configuration.
I was planning to follow Scott's suggestion for my current 3 drives: OS and programs on C (WD 600 GBVelociRaptor), media and projects on D (WD 1TB Black Caviar), export files and Pro Tools files (all live musician tracks, no samples) on E (WD 2TB Black Caviar). However, I have been reading about the benefits of a RAID configuration so I am interested in further suggestions now that I have clarified my questions.
Thank you all for your help.

After Effects, Final Cut Pro HD, and QuickTime 7

Hello friends,
I just wanted to point out a problem I have experienced with QuickTime 7 when using After Effects and Final Cut Pro HD. If this has already been covered by someone else on the forum, please forgive my unnecessary post.
I am used to working in AE 6.5 and FCP 4.5 and exporting/importing QT files between the two programs.
After I downloaded QT 7 (Pro version) with iTunes 6, I discovered that when I export an AE 6.5 clip using the "Export-->QuickTime Movie" menu option, I cannot open the QT file in FCP 4.5. FCP 4.5 tells me that it does not recognize the file. (However, when I use AE's "Export-->DV Stream" option, FCP 4.5 will recognize the file, but it has to render the clip.)
I decided to reinstall QT 6.5.2 (Pro version), and after that everything worked fine (I re-exported the movie using AE's "QuickTime Movie" option, and I was able to open the file in FCP 4.5 with no problems).
Have any of you experienced this problem, or something similar? Do you suppose this is something Adobe might address with a software patch? Or Apple?
Chris
P.S. I downloaded all of the QT 7 patches that Apple released, including the recent QT 7.0.4 and encountered the same problem with AE & FCP every time. This is a problem, of course, because if I choose to stick with QT 6, I will be unable to enjoy the new videos offered at the iTunes 6 store.

Hi David,
Thank you for your reply. Honestly, I am really new to AE, so I am not very familiar with the render queue. When I had QuickTime 6, I would just use the "Export-->QuickTime Movie" menu and then open that file up in FCP. This was a fast and easy process for me. But now, after installing QT 7, I cannot do that, because FCP can no longer read the "QuickTime Movie" file I export from AE.
I will look up some more information on the AE render queue and try using that. Thank you for the tip.
Chris

Premiere Pro CS5 and HDV

Hello all,
I am contemplating upgrading to Premiere Pro CS5. Does the CS5 version have any sizable HDV editing improvements (performance/stability enhancements, etc.) over CS4? Thanks.

I believe we finally (don't quote me though) have HDV scene detection on capture.
hope this helps,

Final Cut Pro HD and Quicktime Pro????

Can anyone tell me if I need to have Quicktime Pro in order to be able to edit movie files in FCP HD?
The Quicktime files I have in my Capture Scratch are on an external hardrive and WERE CAPTURED FROM A COMPUTER USING QUICKTIME PRO. My Powerbook has Quicktime 7.0.4 and when I try to play the capture scratch media, it plays for a second and then stops. It's impossible to edit in FCP HD as well.
Any expertise would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks for any help.

You don't need QT PRO in order to edit with FCP. All QT PRO is is unlocked features of QT, the ability to export footage in multiple formats, download QT Movies and add filters to movies you open.
If something was captured with a machine with QT Pro you should be able to edit them fine. It depends on what format the files are that you are trying to edit.
FYI, movies captured with QT generally don't work in FCP. They aren't an editable format. They are mpeg-2 or h.264 which are meant for direct web posting or DVD burning, but not editing in FCP. If you want to capture footage for editing, capture using FCP.

CS5 and Quicktime

For those with CS5... is Quicktime included in the install, or should I download from Apple and install myself?
If QT is included with CS5... which version?

Right now, I don't think I will NEED Quicktime with CS5, since I will only be editing any AVI files I digitize using my Dv500 over in my WinXP boot side (still have a few old VHS tapes I'm converting to DVD before the tapes stop working due to age) and then, of course, the MTS AVCHD files from my new Canon Vixia
I don't work with anything .MOV so I guess I'll just wait and see what CS5 does during install
My order is on the way (due Thursday the 3rd) and then "a day or so" to send my University proof to the ID site and get a serial number... so I should be able to install next Saturday (or late Friday?)
I was going to do some more test filming yesterday, but hands were dirty from yard work, and then it started raining again, so maybe I'll just wander around the house to get some clips to play with (I'm sure I won't be able to KEEP anything, since my wife is very picky about how things look, but for test and toss she should be OK... having a wife who is a semi-retired Interior Designer means it is really difficult to take even a still pic without her fussing in the background)

PP CS5 and Quicktime

I don't have Quicktime on my pc and PP and Encore are letting me know about it. Do I have to uninstall PP before installing Quicktime? Running Win7
Thanks

> Unless you actually want to use one of the Quicktime formats, you may ignore that message
After Effects and Photoshop use the underlying QuickTime platform for some features other than importing .mov files, so I would recommend in general having QuickTime installed if you're using applications in the Production Premium suite.

Premiere Pro CS5 and After Effects CS5 crash after splash screen

Im am fed up with this ive done everything i can and no one seems to know whats wrong, i installed CS5 on my macbook and imac i7, and they both worked for a while but then suddenly my imac i7 cs5 stopped working and kept crashing, my macbook continues to work just fine, ive even done a system reinstally and reinstalled os x and yes it would work for a little and then stop, they both have the same programs, whats weird is when i create a new user with admin privileges on my imac it would work fine but i deleted some files in the main account trying to fix the problem and no it wont work in the second account so here i am doing a system reinstally one last time. i called adobe they were no help at all literally, i called apple they did as much as they could i mean apple really made me feel like they tried, so here i am can anyone help?

Ok so i figured it out, the problem is my downloaded fonts from the internet. What sucks is that adobe cs4 applications ran perfectly fine with them, but now cs5 doesnt . I uninstalled my downloaded fonts and guess what?! it worked! I wonder why cs4 starts up with no problems with the same fonts and cs5 cant, thats just stupid...

Premiere Pro CS5 and i7-970 Processing Power

Hey! I just built an incredibly fast windows 7 machine using an i7-970 6 core processor and 5870 1gb graphics card (ATI). I know that Nvidia would have been better but I didn't go that route (I was building a hackintosh then turned to Windows 7). Anyways I'm noticing that my renders are decently fast, but they could definitely be faster. I have a "gadget" that shows each core (and virtual core)'s usage as well as overall CPU usage. In the photo below you'll see the processor usage while rendering a 1080i 10 minute sequence with Magic Bullet Looks as the only plugin used.
It's odd because it doesn't look like Premiere Pro is using Hyperthreading technology (12 virtual cores, 6 physical cores)...and it's usage stays around 14%-16%. How can I get this higher? I want my renders to be quick. That's why I bought the big processor... Also I have 12gb ram and it uses just about all of it (my current apps as well as Premiere Pro)...as you can see I have 1113mb left of ram. Also it looks like my GPU is only being used at 41% (not sure what that is measuring... since the GPU clock is at 0% as well as Memory Clock)
Any ideas on how I can speed this up or why it's reacting this way?

If you wanted faster export times you could have gone with one of the cheaper Nvidia cards and still exported far faster than you are now. So part of the answer to your question you already know. Get an Nvidia card.
BTW plugins often vary in threading performance. Some plugins thread very well because they are updated for that and others dont multithread at all. Some thread as you see. Remove the plugin and try another that is not 3rd party and then check the threading.
