Premiere Pro 2.0 crazy behavior in Windows 7

I have Premiere Pro 2.0 on a purchased disc.  Yes, it's old, but perfectly good for my purposes.  I was able to upload it into windows 7.  The program opens fine.  I can import projects made on my previous XP system.  So far, so good.  The problem occurs when I try to do anything with the video.
If I click on the timeline, the timeline turns white.  If I click on an effect, the effects window turns white.  If I click on the monitor, it turns white.  Waiting for things to return doesn't help.
     I suppose that the answer is that Windows 7 is not Windows XP, but this is the first time I have ever seen a new system that wasn't back-compatible with previous versions. It's only 5 years, not Windows 98!!
     If anyone has a solution to this, or even an explanation, I would appreciate hearing it.

What video card do you have? What is the video card driver?
That would be my first place to look.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Hi, I can't install premiere pro trial version, probably because my Windows 7 is a 32bits edition. Is there any solution or 32b version of Premiere Pro to download?

    Hi,
    I can't install premiere pro trial version, probably because my Windows 7 is a 32bits (x86) edition. Is there any solution or 32b version of Premiere Pro to download?

    I am sorry , there is no 32 bit version for both Premiere pro cc as well as After Effects cc
    You may try CS 4 version , but it is not completely tested with Windows 7 OS. .

  • Premiere Pro & SpeedGrade CC keep crashing in Windows 8.1

    I just bought a brand new MSI laptop with Windows 8.1 and installed the CC suite. Premiere Pro and SpeedGrade continually crash when I try to use them. Premiere Pro crashes almost every other time I open it. Once it is open it works fine, but almost every other time I start it, I have to close and reopen it. SpeedGrade does the same thing, except sometimes it crashes in the middle of using it, which is VERY frustrating. These are the only programs on my computer that give me problems. The programs are installed to the OS partition on an SSD drive. Below are the error messages I receive for both programs and a copy of my computers specs. Please help me!

    Hi iduno8912,
    Very glad your issue is fixed.

    What happened? Did you contact support via Contact Customer Care ? Did you chat or talk with an agent over the phone? If so, please PM me the case number, I'll follow up with the agent to see why they weren't able to solve your case.

    From your description, it sounded like it was a problem with your computer system, specifically your GPUs. What wasn't working from the application side?
    Let me know so I can prevent problems in the future.

  • Premiere Pro won't work after installing windows 8.1

    Hi,
    I have recently installed Windows 8.1 on my laptop. After the installation was completed I got an error message when I tried to open Premiere Pro CC. The error message says the program can't start because MSVCP110.dll is missing and that I should reinstall. I don't want to reinstall as I'm worried about losing work. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi,
    Firstly I must apologize for not replying to this earlier. I have done as suggested restarting my computer after installing but I still get the same error message.... I know I've left this response very late but any help would be much appreciated.

  • Premiere Pro 2.0 wont install on windows 7

    I just installed windows 7 Pro, and am trying to install Premiere Pro 2.0 but it seems as though the cd drive won't even read the disc. It tries for a while then gives up, producing nothing. I got it to work ONCE and it seemed to go through all the normal setup procedures, including asking for my serial number, which I gave it. But at some point it got hung up, told me it couldn't install something then shut down without any explanation. There's no trace of any part of this program on the computer at all. I'm kind of stumped as to why this might be happening. Anyone have an idea?

    Since you have Win7 Pro, see if this will help

    Can I Premiere PRO 1.5 (90056288 10/04) with update 1.5.1 with the operating system Windows 7 use, and is still an update (driver) is required and where can I download it?
    1st, you are in the wrong forum, you need http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/premierepro_previous?view=all
    2nd, you are no longer able to register version 1.5 because the registration server is not working, you must obtain version 2
    CS2 Activation Server http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
    From that link
    Adobe has disabled the activation server for CS2 products, including Acrobat 7, because of a technical issue. These products were released more than seven years ago, do not run on many modern operating systems, and are no longer supported. Adobe strongly advises against running unsupported and outdated software. The serial numbers provided as a part of the download may only be used by customers who legitimately purchased CS2 or Acrobat 7 and need to maintain their current use of these products

  • Is there any way to edit something in Premiere Pro if the (original) file is Windows Moviemaker?

    Hi!
    I always work with Premiere Pro CS6. A friend just asked to do a final edit (and export) of her video.
    But... she worked with Windows Moviemaker. Is there any way I can change or convert this file so that I can do the final edit in Premiere?

    I doubt there's a conversion that will enable you to import/convert a native Moviemaker project file into PP.
    You probably know this already, but the only way might be for your friend to export the timeline in a compatible format (AVI or MOV) and import to PP and pick up the edit from that point.
    I don't know Moviemaker, but you may be able to export individual video/ audio layers (as AVI or MOV), and reassemble them in PP.
    A PITB, but sometimes it's the only way.

  • Premiere Pro processes won't stop in Windows 7

    I am running Premiere Pro CC 2014 on a Windows 7 system with nVidia Quadro 2000 display adapter.  Since upgrading to CC 2014 I've noticed that a lot of my Creative Cloud programs (Premiere, Audition and After Effects, Media Encoder, and I'm guessing others as well, though i haven't tested) refuse to fully close once I've exited the program. 
    I can't launch the program again unless I go into Windows Task Manager and manually force the Premiere Pro (or other Adobe program to stop).  I've searched other posts here and found one other person experiencing the same problem, but they didn't post a solution.
    I've tried uninstalling and re installing, not only the effected programs, but also the Creative Cloud Application Manager, to no avail.
    What is going on?  Anyone?

    I'm on 6.0.3 but thanks for the response.
    I suppose some other hardware/software details might be handy.
    Windows 7 Pro with SP1
    Premier Pro CS6 6.0.3
    HP z820

    Quadro 4000

  • Premiere Pro CS6 unexpectedly quits whilst opening windows

    Oh wise ones!
    I am having trouble with a premiere project, it is a simple logging project with about 100 video files that has worked previously on an edit share based raid system, but today has decided it will not open & will not re-link media files without crashing.
    What version of PP? 6.0.0
    Have you installed the recent updates? No (cannot update software without administrators permission atm)
    What operating system? 10.8.4 OSX
    What kind(s) of source footage? Apple Pro res LT .MOV files
    If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)? See below!
    What were you doing when the problem occurred? trying to re-link media files that were offline due to changing computer locations on edit share.
    Has this ever worked before? If this worked before by doesn't work now, what has changed on your computer in the intervening time? The project file used to work, however a collegue opened the file at a different location on the edit share, which for some reason has un-linked the media and not the file won't open.
    Do you have QuickTime installed. (You should.) If so, what version? Yes, Version 10.1 (501.29)
    What other software are you running? I have BRU PE running & proxymill and firefox.
    Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed? Video co-pilot & twixtor
    Tell us about your computer hardware. Include CPU type and number of processor cores, amount of RAM installed, GPU, number of disk drives, and how any external drives are connected. Mac Pro 2008, 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 16 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM, ethernet network connected to edit share servers, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 2048 MB, OS X 10.8.4 (12E55), internal 9TB drive RAID.
    Do you have any third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU)? edit share
    I have attached the end of one of the crash logs and an error message. Could it be the DDR2 problem? At the moment I cannot restart as the LTO tape is backing up!

    The inability to fully launch is often related to the video driver. I would go to AMD/ATI and check your installed video driver. If not the latest, then download and install that. Note: there have been some issues reported with some of AMD/ATI's latest drivers (mostly in the PS CS6 forum), so it might be necessary to roll-back to an earlier video driver.
    If that is not the cause, in your case, then you have at least ruled out one of the main causes.
    Good luck,

  • Why does Adobe Premiere Pro offer more effects for the windows platform than Mac?

    Every time I find a cool new effect that I would like to use it seems it is only offered on the windows platform.  I am a mac user and wondering why this is.

    A lot of that is inertia, though. 3 or 4 years ago, I would have laughed in your face if you'd told me that we were going to move to a PC-based workflow. Then everybody stopped using FCP, Apple refused to update their Pro towers for, like, 3 years, and released a completely redesigned MacPro that has caused us more headaches than it's worth. PPro makes it super easy to bounce projects back and forth between our Macs and PCs. Mainstream computer hardware has become powerful enough that you don't need a professional workstation to edit video and do basic motion graphics. This is totally anecdotal, I realize, but our PCs are every bit as stable (or unstable!) as our Macs, and we've yet to have a single virus on either Mac or PC (mostly because I don't let warez anywhere near our boxes...). At this point, I literally can't think of a single reason to stick with Mac as a platform; if I can put together a $2000 PC that'll perform more-or-less as well as the $3000 MacPro, why would I choose the more expensive option? I guess you could say "ProRes", but I've never really been a fan of ProRes. Besides, DNxHR will be out in a month or two; that'll be the final nail in the ol' ProRes coffin.
    I honestly don't mean this to come off as an insult, but I think that in 2014, anyone who tries to tell you that Macs are somehow superior to PCs just doesn't know what they're talking about. Aside from the price, the playing field is pretty level... I hope I don't come off as being an anti-Apple, pro-PC fanboi; I'm just a big fan of rational, informed decisions.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 Sequence Error? (Timeline Window says No sequence, Program Window says no sequence)

    Hey, I was trying to edit a bunch of .mpg files together, in a new project file, in a sequence 01, and all the primary editing windows came up, and while I can easily get the source window to recognize sequence 01, both the timeline and the program window say no sequence and dragging sequence 01 or any of the .mpg videos does nothing.
    Since I can't even see the timeline of this I can't edit, so if someone could help me as soon as possible that would be great

    Double click any sequence in the bin to open it.
    This kind of basic functionality is pretty well covered in the Help file.  I recommend reading it all the way through before you use Premiere.

  • Premiere pro CS4 stops loading at Loading Windows media (splash screen)

    Thanks.

    After an uninstall, you also need to run the clean script 2-3 times, rebooting between runs, to be sure all remnants are removed from the Registry

    I have tried for hours to contact Customer Support but am just left on hold. How do I resolve this?
