Premiere Elements to Premiere Pro on Mac

If I edit using mac based premiere elements will I be able to transfer projects to premiere pro?

Welcome to the forum.
At one time, one COULD Open a PREL (the PrE Project file) in PrPro, with some considerations:
The PrE Project did NOT contain any Themes/Instant Movies, as PrPro did not have those.
The PrE Project did NOT contain any 3rd party Transitions, or Effects, that are not available in PrPro.
The versions of PrE and PrPro are somewhat contemporary, such as PrE 4 and PrPro 2.0.
Now, if the PrPro version is PrPro CC (Creative Cloud), it appears that it cannot Open, or Import PrE PREL files, but no Adobe engineer has confirmed that - the info comes from users, who all say, "No go."
Also, a Mac PREL cannot be Opened by PrE on a PC, so there could well be issues there. Your chances of success might be better, if both programs are Mac versions, and the versions are contemporary, say PrE 10 and PrPro CS 6, both on a Mac.
Good luck, and please let us know how well your migration works.

HOW DO I INSTALL PREMIERE PRO ON MAC?

HOW DO I INSTALL PREMIERE PRO ON MAC?

Hi almartin40117374674585858,
Which version of Premiere Pro you are trying to install?

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 (mac) will not completely launch.

After a few weeks idol my Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 (mac) will not completely launch. It tells me a serious error has occurred, it shuts down and the circle continues. I've even reloaded the app and it happens again. I did upgraded to Yosemite but I can't find anyone else having probs with Yosemite. Any ideas. No luck on the adobe site.

>did upgraded to Yosemite
CS6 is about 3 years old... even the latest Cloud versions had to have updates to be compatible... since you have "reloaded" (was that a full uninstall and reinstall?) I have no other suggestions

Export to .AVI in Premiere Pro on Mac

We are hoping to migrate from Final Cut to Premiere Pro CS5 (Mac) to produce video for a big screen in our gym (among other things), because of the seamless interaction between After Effects, Premiere and Encore. However, the program for the big screen needs the file to be an .AVI and won't accept any other format. I can't seem to find how to export the video as an .AVI on Premiere ProCS5. Is there a way to do this?

No, not directly. What codec do you need in the AVI? AVI is just a container, and can hold many different types of codecs, so you need to know what codec you specifically need for your use.

Premiere Pro CS5 Mac 10.6.5 not releasing memory

I have a Mac Pro running 10.6.5 Mac OS, 16GB Ram that I just installed today (had 8GB). I opened up a rather large 11 minute PPro project. I rendered it out. Noticed that the Used Memory was getting larger, up to about 10GB where it leveled off for the remainder of the render. After the render was done, the used memory stayed at 10GB. I exited PPro, and it stayed 10GB. Seems like it's not releasing the memory back to available or am I not understanding how either the Mac OS works with regards to memory or perhaps PPro?

Yes, that appears to be the problem. I disconnected my secondary monitor (which does have a different vertical resolution) and the eyedropper appears to function properly.
Okay, so now I know the cause of the issue. However, disconnecting and reconnecting monitors is not an acceptable workflow. Apparently this problem affects quite a few Premiere Pro CS5 Mac users with dual monitors since you referred to it as a know issue with all versions of Mac OS. Do you know if there is an update (not an upgrade) for Premiere Pro CS5 to address this?
Thanks.

Premiere Pro CS5 - Mac Pro - The eye dropper color picker does not work properly

The eye dropper will not pick up on the colors that are hovered over. Instead, the selected color is offset. The best I can figure out is that I'm experiencing a vertical downward offset of about +/-150 pixels and a horizontal offset to the right of about +/-5 pixels.
Does anyone have the same issue and if so have you found a solution?

Yes, that appears to be the problem. I disconnected my secondary monitor (which does have a different vertical resolution) and the eyedropper appears to function properly.

Import Premiere Pro CS3 Windows projects into Premiere Pro CS5 Mac.

Hi there people. I hope you can help me. I have had premiere pro CS3 on my windows system for some years but now run a Mac with Master Collection CS5, my problem is that my existing prproj files on windows format do not open in CS5 Premiere Pro for Mac, I get a message telling me that I need to see the user guide for importing options, I have tried to do so, but there is no information about how to do this.
Can anyone here please tell me how to get around this, as I need to rework some of these old windows projects however my old windows system is totally dead now so I cannot open the files in the CS3 windows version either.
Please help, oh and spare me the useless windows vs. mac arguments.
I hope someone here can help
Thanks

Since you are trying to Open a CS3 PC Project, you should not have THAT many issues in CS5 Mac. Have you tried both the Open and Import - similar but different operations? Have both methods failed?
One possible problem would be the Effects & Transitions used in the CS3 PC Project. Here is a LIST of the Transitions and Effects in CS4 for the PC, that are missing in the Mac version. I would assume that CS3 and CS5 would be similar. However, in similar cases, PrPro has thrown a more specific error message. I have only Opened Pr 6.5 Mac Projects into PrPro 2.0 PC, and these have been almost perfect. Where there were missing Transitions, I got a very explicit message, telling me what had been used that was missing from my program, and exactly where the problem existed (specific TimeCode). In my case, two Transitions just did not exist in my PrPro 2.0, and one was a 3rd party Transition, or Effect, and I did not have that. Still, the older Mac Projects Opened fine, and I just made note of where I would need to make changes. I would anticipate that similar would occur, if the Mac version did not have some Transition, or Effect, but do not know specifically. Still, based on the warning messages that I got, with such complete documentation, I'd expect similar.
Now another consideration - Assets. If there are Assets that you cannot work with on your Mac, say DV-AVI, or WMV, those would likely throw an error. Again, I would expect that error message to elaborate a bit more.
Do you know the details of your CS3 Projects and their Assets? Anything that you can think of there?
Just thinking here, and unfortunately, I have never gone the direction that you are going, and with the versions that you are working with, so something simple and glaring (to others) might just be slipping past me.
Good luck, and maybe others will have much better input on your issue. Also - welcome to the forum!

Just "upgraded" to Premiere Pro CC (Mac) - what about my Premiere Elements Projects?

Hi all:
I just purchased a Creative Cloud membership - and was very excited to get started... However, I have just learned that I cannot open my Premiere Elements projects in Premiere Pro - because I use a Mac. Does anyone have any suggestions for the BEST way for me to be able to work on my existing Elements projects in Pro? I'm assuming that I need to export the Elements projects into .mov or .mpeg formats, etc. and then import them that way. Obviously I will only be able to edit the "finished product" - and not undo/redo effects/transitions/etc.. If I'm on the right track, can someone let me know the best export settings to use?
ALSO - I had been using the Elements Organizer for all of my clips/video etc. - I'm going to assume that Premiere Pro does not interface with this?
Thanks VERY much in advance for any help!

So... why does Adobe claim Premiere Pro CC supports PREL project files?

I work in Windows, and have found this not to be true. Anyone have any thoughts on why they are claiming compatibility?

How to transfer and use the project files from Premiere Pro cs6 MAC OS to Premiere Pro CS6 Windows

Is there any plugin or tool that can help me to transfer my project files along data edited on adobe premiere cs6 MAC OS to the adobe premiere pro cs 6 on windows PC

When transferring a project from one computer to another,to stop errors such as these, its essential to ensure that the project is copied with all the files and folders in exactly the same locations. Also before opening the project on the new computer, you need to set up a new project and set all the preferences to be exactly the same as on the first computer. Then when you open the project, premiere will find all the files in all the right places. Even then you may need to re-link some files. Just follow the prompts when Premiere asks "Where is file...."
We use USB hard drives to store students projects on and they are used on many different computers without problems, as the preferences are all set to be the same.

Premiere Pro on Mac Pro Running Slow

I just purchased a new 6 Core Mac Pro with 32GB RAM, Dual AMD FirePro D500s, 512GB Solid State Internal Drive and have it connected to a G-RAID 6TB Thunderbolt Drive and Premiere Pro is running pretty darn slow. There are certainly some things that are much quicker than my 2008 Core Duo 2.8 GHZ iMac (such as render times and export times) but if I past a simple effect like "Transform" on a 1920x1080 AVCHD clip on either my iMac or my Mac Pro I will get a red line above it and if I try to play it back it stutters quite a bit. I essentially have to do what I've been doing with my iMac which is either playing my footage at 1/2 or 1/4 resolution after effects are applied or just waiting until I'm completely done with my edit before applying effects (of course there's the option to render everything but this still takes a very long time on the Mac Pro and for a simple effect like Transform I'm very surprised that I would need to render just to play the clip back).
Is there anything that can be done as far as settings (or anything else) to enable to me to get my money's worth out of my new Mac Pro? At this point I really just want to be able to put maybe two effects on a clip without having to render or playback at 1/4 resolution.
BTW I'm running 10.9.3 and have all the most current updates.
Thanks,
Mike S

Thanks, Jason, that's what I was wondering about. Generally, people post to forums when they have problems.
Yep. That's usually what happens. My review will be centered around my usual "benchmark" of editing 2 AVCHD inputs, one PiP'd into the other, synced with an external audio source, and then exported to an h.264 MP4. CC on my current Mac Pro (modified dual 3.46Ghz Xeon, 48G, nVidia GTX570) takes that task about 1/2t, if t = length of video. Which is pretty damned good. I'm hoping the dual GPUs will help scale that export task down a bit more. I don't expect it to hit 1/4t, but.. hey, maybe I'll be surprised?
I make about 60% of my living from Pr, and the rest from Ae and other apps (mostly Adobe).
Given the lack of CUDA, at the moment, I don't expect the new Mac Pro to be a stellar performer with Ae specifically. I assume that Adobe is working on OpenCL'ing Ae as much as they possibly can. But from what I understand, it ain't there yet.
(I'd need a TB monitor and PCI extender, too).
I can understand the need for the PCI extender, but why the TB monitor? I'd in no way even remotely consider one of those, just given how ridiculously priced they are. There's no need for one. Does your display have a DP input? You're all set. No? It has HDMI instead? Still all set. It's dual-linked DVI that becomes problematic.

Premiere Pro CC Mac - Yellow preview bar with ProRes clips?

Hello:
Even though I've made sure that my sequence settings are exactly matching my clip settings (ProRes4444 or 422HQ) I'm getting a yellow bar over my sequence.
I'm working on a 2012 Mac Pro running OS 10.7.5. I downloaded Premiere Pro CC earlier today; I thought I'd play around with it to see how it compares to FCP7. Most of my NLE usage is very simple, just assembling sections of motion graphics and 3D animations rendered out of After Effects in the ProRes 4444 codec.
The "New Sequence from Clip" function isn't behaving as I'd expect. The comparable feature in FCP creates a sequence that matches all aspects of the selected clip (size, framerate, codec, etc.). The Premiere implementation appears to only match the sequence size and framerate to the selected clip.
If I create a new sequence from a ProRes clip, or tell the sequence to match the clip, I'd expect that clip to be sitting in my timeline with no bar of any color. But I get a yellow bar. When I go to Sequence Settings I see that the editing mode is Arri Camera, and the Video Preview is greyed out on an MPEG format. I have to go to Custom and manually select Quicktime, then specifiy the matching ProRes codec. Shouldn't those wrapper and codec settings be matched automatically too when I've specified that function?
That said, if I go in and manually match the codec settings to my clip I still get the yellow bar. If I select another sequence and click back on the new sequence the yellow bar is gone.
I'm assuming that this yellow bar issue is a display error of some sort, because if I export the sequence with "Match Sequence Settings" selected the export happens very quickly as I would expect with a Smart Render-compatible sequence.
Is this a bug?
Thanks.

Sandeep:
Thanks for the reply, but did you read the body of my question or just send me off to this blog post based on only the title of my post? Believe me, I read that post, plus several others regarding the color of the preview bars, and I spent an hour meticulously troubleshooting the issue.
Unless I'm missing something, nothing in that post to which you link explains why I'd be getting a yellow bar on a sequence that exactly matches the clip's settings, or why that yellow bar would disappear when I select another sequence and then click back on the original one.
Also, is the behavior of "New Sequence from Clip" I'm observing correct, in that that function won't conform the sequence to the wrapper or codec of the selected clip?
Cheers.

Premiere Pro Freezes mac while rendering Fast Color Corrector & Rgb curves

I am having a problem that is impacting our business. We are doing commercials that we are doing color correction of the subject using Fast Color Corrector and RGB curves. When these effects are added to the sequenced video, the performance of the Mac Pro slows down considerably.
Then when we go to render the project so that we can see the effects in real time, the computer freezes completely. The program usually informs us that it must close due to a serious error. I have attempted to restart the computer, clean up permissions etc to solve this problem but to no avail. Why would this happen? Any ideas on how to solve it?
Here are the specs:
Using Premiere Pro CC 7.2.1 (4)
Mac Pro: 3.2 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 24 GB
ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1024 MB)
OS: 10.8.5

Yes. I experimented on my own and got confirms from a couple of sources. Where the problem was is bad suggestions about what settings to use in Premiere Pro.
The first setting you want to check (although Premiere Pro will probably see the card right away is:
File > Project Settings > General - Make sure that Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration is selected. Everyone agrees on this.
Now is where the fun begins. There is a school of thought that says to go here:
Sequence > Sequence Setttings - Under Video Previews, they want you to check off Maximum Render Quality. Once you do this, you must also go to:
Preferences > Memory - and change Optimize Rendering for Performance
DO NOT DO THIS! What I found is that this significantly slows down your system and makes rendering and exporting take over your computer (and I have a lot of ram). Leave your change with the setting Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration and you should be great.
I have found a significant change in running color correction effects, exporting and rendering. You will too.
Let me know how you make out after your setup.
Have a great day!

Premiere Pro CS6 Mac Playback Issues

I've searched for similar issues, and while I found plenty of playback issues, I didn't see anything like what I'm experiencing.
MacPro Quad-Core Xeon 2.26 x2 (8b cores)
12 GB ram
OS 10.6.8 (can't update this due to other infrastructure)
Nvidia GeForce GT 120
FAST Fiber attached SAN
Local Raid0 media drive
I know the GPU isn't compatible with the Mercury hardware acceleration.
I've been a Premiere Pro user since version 2 and have kept current through the years. I'm happily running CS5.5 on PC's in my home office. I recently installed the trial version of CS6 on my Mac at work to evaluate for that environment, and I'm pulling my hair out trying to get over some basic issues. I have no problems with Media Encoder or AE.
In Premiere using preview or program (timeline), playback stops after roughly a second... though it varies by several frames each time. I tested this with various video files, .wav files, stills (jpeg, psd), etc. I even tested with black video and bars generated inside Premiere. The problem persists with all of the above... click play, and playback stops after about a second. Scrubbing works great... I've tried different playback resolutions. I'm not using any 3rd party monitoring devices or I/O cards on this machine.
I have FCP 7 installed on the same machine and have no trouble editing and playing 1080i video all day long.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

The above suggestion worked for me briefly, but the problem keeps re-occuring.
I too am using Snow Leopard 10.6.8, NVIDIA gfx card (8800) and an ATI Radeon 5500.
Premiere played back fine in Lion and Mountain Lion, but I downgraded because I have old quicktime files and Final Cut 7 projects that i need to work with so Lion is not an option for me.
Bizarre behavior if you ask me.
Any help on this?
