Premiere CC 2014 on iMac i7 Yes, no?

I've waited patiently until now to install Yosemite on my iMac, i7. Now, I was feeling like I had the time. I still am reading a lot of issues with Yosemite and Pr CC. Thoughts? Are they playing well together over all? I've got a rather vanilla iMac but have a lot of external drives hooked up.

  • New iMac Retina for Premiere CC 2014

    Hi everyone,
    we're ready to upgrade a couple of PCs here at the studio and I think we are probably jump over to the Mac wagon. We love the idea of getting the new Retina iMacs (maxed out) with i7 4.0GHZ and 32 RAM, flash storage.... There are a few considerations on top of performance like compactness, portability and yes...design. There are however a couple of questions:
    - Will the iMacs excel in editing HD footage with Premiere CC 2014, we need them to edit like a hot knife cuts through butter
    - In terms of editing with external hard drives, is USB 3 a good idea until we can afford some Thunderbolt drives?
    - I read the new iMacs will come with AMD graphic cards so I guess they wont be able to use the CUDA Mercury engine?
    thanks for your help,
    Guille

    The Mercury Engine can use OpenCL in Radeon cards. That being said, the R9 M290X is not in the list of currently supported cards, and therefore the Mercury Engine should default to Software Only.
    Adobe won't add the R9 M290X to the list of supported cards until they can fully test it. So hopefully they will add it in a future update (*fingers crossed*).
    Until then, you may be better off with a maxed out 27" iMac which has the GeForce GTX 775M, which is supported. It will no doubt perform better, and yes it will be like a hot knife through butter.

  • Experiencing issues with audio scrubbing in Premiere cc 2014

    Since upgrading I've been having issues with audio scrubbing in Premiere CC 2014.
    Some of the time it won't scrub at all (silence) when I know that scrubbing option is turned on. Other times it will scrub the wrong section of the timeline, I'll hear dialogue from a different point in a clip.
    Much of the time I experience this I'm working with multicam clips in sequences.
    Working on iMac 2013, 32GB RAM, NVIDIA 780
    thank you.

    Currently using / testing a 30 day trial of CC 2014 (CS5 user for years with no issues) and all was fine yesterday when editing. Turned on today and had no way to scrub audio. Also had no Intensity Pro external monitor which worked fine the day before. Restarted PC and still nothing so starting poking around with the playback settings in preferences by choosing Adobe Desktop audio in the audio device section choosing OK then selecting back to Blackmagic audio then hit Ok. All of a sudden there was my external monitor and was able to scrub audio again. It's like it's sleeping knowing it should work until you poke it a few times to wake it up. How my Intensity Pro external monitor and scrubbing audio being related in any way is perplexing. Or am I being obtuse?
    I would contact Blackmagic Design to make sure your drivers are current. Can you try that?

  • In Premiere Pro 2014 imported audio skips and is out of sync - version 7.2.2 was ok

    I have been importing AVCHD Content in to Premiere Pro 7.2.2 with no issues.  Now that I have upgraded to Premiere Pro 2014, importing that same AVCHD footage causes the audio to skip and finish before the video causing it to be out of sync.  I compared preferences between the 2 versions and all settings seem to be the same.  This is something clearly different between these two versions of Premiere Pro.  Anyone else have this issue?

  • Premiere CC 2014.1 + SAN: Can't import folders

    We used to edit off an of-the-shelf NAS and just recently upgraded to a Facilis TerraBlock SAN.
    Now whenever we try to import folders, Premiere won't import anything. The import dialogue shows up briefly, but the progress bar just skips to the end and no files show up in Premiere. Individual or multiple files will import fine if chosen directly, but as soon as anything is nested in a folder or subfolder, it just won't come in. We tried the import dialogue, media browser, Adobe Bridge and drag&drop from Finder. Importing folders from the NAS or local storage still works fine.
    We're editing on multiple maxed-out 2013-iMacs (10.9.5) using CC 2014.1. The issue is persistent on all machines and through all versions of Premiere from CS6 to CC 2014.1.
    Our current workaround is to import the folders into AfterEffects (which strangely works fine with the SAN) and then copy/paste them into Premiere.
    Any ideas how to fix this issue?

    I am having the same issue as IronAtin. Folders will not import from our Facilis Terrablock into Premiere CC 2014. This used to work just fine in Premiere CC. Please keep us updated as to any fixes/workarounds. Thanks. 

  • No AAC audio in Premiere CC 2014.1? [bug - resolved]

    --- Original post for reference
    I just updated to Premiere CC 2014.1 today.
    I have a set of files that I regularly convert with Handbrake into MP4s with an AAC audio stream. I have had no problems at all with CS6, CC, and CC 2014. But now with CC 2014.1, I get no audio when I import the mp4 files.
    The Project window says it is a "Video" file, not a "Movie" file. The associated icon in the Project window is also missing the waveform on it.
    When I drag it onto the timeline, only the video track appears, as you'd expect. The video alone appears to play back correctly.
    Restarting PP CC 2014.1 did not do anything.
    I loaded up PP CS6 and imported the exact same MP4 file and it works as expected. Windows Media Player has no problem playing the video file with audio either.
    What changed between CC 2014 and CC 2014.1 that could have caused this?

    Reason: there is no Premiere Pro CC 2014.2, you probably mean 2014.1. If not, please PM me.

    Hi wired.au,
    Thanks for this solution.

    OK ... after I finished my post below about how PP CC 2014.1 would not recognize the mono AAC audio track from my MP4s, I decided to produce the same MP4 again with Handbrake, with a stereo audio track instead.
    It worked. After loading the stereo MP4, I reimported the original mono MP4 that didn't work (without restarting premiere or anything) and the mono audio is now recognized. Looks like there was a strange bug with Premiere Pro CC 2014.1 and mono AAC audio tracks, which got resolved after importing an MP4 with a stereo AAC track for the first time.
    I thought I should leave this here just in case anyone else encounters the same thing.

  • Updated to Premiere CC 2014 and AE CC 2014 and now have blue lines/blue imprints of windows and crashes after 5 minutes of use or on start up

    iMac - 27 ", late 2012
    Processor  3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB
    Software  OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
    After I updated from CS6 to CC 2014, my screen started to display blue lines and/or a blue imprint of a previously closed window, and Premiere CC 2014 and AE CC 2014 began crashing after about five minutes of use. Also, an error message popped up telling me to update my CUDA driver. I took the iMac into Apple and after updating the CUDA driver in store with an Apple associate, the error message went away. They were concerned about the blue lines, and after 3 days of hardware testing, they determined that the screen was not failing, the hardware was in great shape and the lines and crashing must be a software related issue. I took the computer home, uninstalled and reinstalled AE using the appropriate installer, and rebooted. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled Premiere using the Premiere installer and rebooted again. During the second restart a blue imprint of the Google Chrome window I had had open before the reboot was imprinted over the welcome/password screen. I typed in my password, opened up the Premiere project I'd been working on and immediately, the always dramatic message "A serious issue as occurred..." popped up. I tried opening it again, saved a new recovery copy and started to work on the project. Five minute later it froze up and I had to force quit. This happened two more times, both roughly after five minutes of use....back to square one.
    Obviously, this is seriously hurting my workflow. Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated!

    ... a blue imprint of the Google Chrome window I had had open before the reboot was imprinted over the welcome/password screen.
    The apple guys said this wasn't a hardware error? I don't know software errors to save imprints throughout a restart. If I were to live dangerously and assume anything it would be that you got a failing graphics processor.
    Ever tried cloning your boot drive and then doing a complete wipe and re-install of OS and CC?

  • Can Adobe Premiere CC 2014 be Installed as a Stand-Alone Upgrade?

    Can Adobe Premiere CC 2014 be Installed as a Stand-Alone Upgrade without having to conflict with an Adobe CC suite on a given machine?

    Yes, I have PrP CS6, CC and CC2014 all currently available on my system. The only pain I've experienced is that project files insist on opening in CC2014 even though I am wanting to primarily work in CC. If I tell the system to always open ALL .prproj files in CC, it seems to be very inconsistent and typically opens in CC2014.
    CC2014 creates a new, separate app file and all (most?) prefs are stored in 8.0 folders.

  • My Program and Source Monitor Stopped Working: Premiere Pro 2014

    Heres how it all started.
    I got an error which said I didn't have the correct video modules, then came the ugly face of BSOD. I restarted, tried again, same result. I did a system restore with Windows, reinstalled Windows 8.1, reinstalled all of my plugins and Adobe CC programs, and when I opened my project was completely scrambled. Uninstalled all Adobe software, ran CC Cleaner, reinstalled. This got the audio in my videos to work but now there's only a white screen on my my Source and Program monitor when I try to play my timeline. I did another system restore on Windows, went to my laptop manufacturers website and updated my bios, graphics driver, and processor. Also reinstalled windows updates, and my Adobe software, I've tried CC Cleaner before each install, tried going back to the previous version of Premiere and still nothing in my source or Program monitors.

    Things I've tried from other threads:
    -I read that there might be a problem with the .MTS files so I've also tried starting a new project with .MOV files and h.264 and still nothing.
    -I tried going into the project settings and choose "render with software", still nothing.
    -I tried emptying media cache files under C://users/my user/app data/roaming/Adobe/common.....you guessed it, NOTHING.
    -I tried using my daughters "Frozen" magic wand we bought her for Christmas to fix the problem with icy magic like Elsa did in the movie.......surprisingly, still nothing.
    Any other ideas out there?

    Hi,
    Do you have Dual Graphics Adapters? You can check that under Device Manager > Display Adapters.
    If yes, Disable Intel Graphics and see if it helps.
    Have you tried to Trash the Preferences?
    Rename the 8.0 folder to trash the preferences: <drive>\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro\
    Thanks,

    I'm having issues as well. I updated to 2014.1 this morning. It opened fine, however when I tried to open a file I created in CC 2014, it told me I had to update it to the newer version. Just as it finishes, Premiere crashes.
    I tried to open an older project in the new version and also crashed on launch. Trashing my preferences solved that issue. Can you try that? If this doesn't work, update your video drivers if you can.
    Please don't take this the wrong way, but in the future, I would advise you to not update any project files until a project is complete (if at all possible). If you feel you must update, please make sure to duplicate your project file so that you have a working back up. This is something I was taught years ago and has served me well as a crucial back up step.
    You can also check your Auto Save folder or the Creative Cloud folder for a potential backup, if that preference was set correctly.

    You can't really roll back a project file, per se. You can try opening the project in XML format in older versions. That works most of the time. You can certainly roll back Premiere Pro to a previous version, however.

  • Premiere Pro 2014 is crashing and freezing and I have to use force quit to get it to shut down.

    Premiere Pro 2014 is crashing every day. i am running Premiere Pro 2014 on a 2013 imac with 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5 with 16  GB RAM. Playback on premiere continually freezes and the program crashes. Or the playback will start to freeze and then I save and close the project file/program, but the program will not close and I have to force quit. This is extremely frustrating. Premiere Pro CC was super stable and I rarely if ever had a problem. I have changed my permissions to give myself read/write. I have created a new project file in 2014 and then imported all my sequences from my updated project file but none of these strategies have worked. I am considering creating a new project file and going back to working solely in CC because I am on a deadline and troubleshooting this issue is taking up so much time.

    I have had to force quit PP CC four times today. The fourth was when it crashed while trying to reopen it. I have had exactly the same problems as described above. I have no solutions to offer. I will go through a week of constant Premiere Pro bugs and poor performance then experience a period that seems too good to be true only to end up having a day like today. I can't believe that they call this a professional editing suite. It just wastes so much of my time pissing around trying to fix things and managing all the extra render and preview files it makes each time I have to save a new copy of a project which usually results in renaming it. It gets confusing after a while. Really not happy with this and have begun to learn Avid so as soon as this project is done, PP will be history.

  • Best video editing software available 2014 for iMac

    Need suggestions for best video editing software available Nov 2014 for iMac.

    If by best you mean the most editing tools and effects available, and used by most professional video studios, that would be either the Adobe Premiere Pro suite, or Avid. Neither of which is cheap. Final Cut Studio used to have a pretty generous share of that professional market, but FCP X was such a radical change to the app (not to mention not even being able to open standing FCS projects with it), many former FCS users switched to Adobe or Avid.
    For inexpensive and still a lot of power, FCP X is a steal.
