Premiere Pro 2----Pentium 4 @ 3 Ghz. or Core 2 Duo E6550 @ 2.33 Ghz.

hi all,
i am getting a computer with following specification for premiere pro 2:
Intel core 2 duo e6550 @ 2.33 ghz 2.33 ghz.
2 Gb Ram
3 Physical Hard Disk
Now i want to ask is,
is Core 2 Duo e6550 faster than Pentium 4 @ 3 ghz.?
Will i be able to edit in Premiere Pro 2?
i have been editing in premier pro 2 with pentium 4 and i am pretty much ok with it. is core 2 duo e6550 faster than p4?
kindly enlighten,
Regards

All is relative, but with these specs your PC will be around 50 - 70 times slower than a good performing system.

so you have 10.6 which is snow leopard
you should be ready to update assuming you meet the other requirements.

Poor performance of Premiere Pro on 2013 Mac Pro

A month ago I bought a 2013 Mac Pro mostly for running Premiere Pro CC. The configuration is 6 cores @ 3.5 GHz, 64 GB RAM, 2 x D700 graphics, 1 TB internal SSD. It runs OS X Mavericks 10.9.4.
I tried Premiere Pro CC today for the first time. The input--entirely stored on the internal SSD; no external disk was even connected--was about 100 clips shot as AVCHD (1080p25 PAL) at 24 Mbps.
I edited this in Premiere Pro and added small adjustments (mostly changes of levels) in about 20 clips. The rest had no adjustments. There were no transitions applied. For the most part, it just had to copy the trimmed input clips to the output.
I queued this for Adobe Media Encoder CC at H.264, 1080p25, @ 24 Mbps VBR 2 pass. Audio was 192 kbps, 48 kHZ,stereo. The output was written to the internal SSD.
While encoding, the CPU was running 50-70% idle (!!!) so it was using only 2-3 cores and half the memory (32GB) was unused. It certainly wasn't trying very hard. No other programs except Premiere, AME, and the activity monitor were open during encoding and I was just sitting there watching it lumber along.
The time to encode the timeline of 9:47 was 21:28. That is 2.2x real time. My 4-year-old Windows machine using CS6 could do that. What's wrong? Should Premiere Pro be this slow on hardware this fast? Is there some secret box "Use all the cores and all allowed memory" that I have to check (I set the preferences to allow Adobe to use 52 GB). Does Premiere get tired in the evenings? The internal SSD runs at 900 MB/s and there was no transcoding to do. What was going on?
This is my first test of Premiere and it is kind of disappointing. Did I just waste 6500 euros on the Mac Pro or am I using the wrong settings. Any advice is welcome.
Thanks.

Yes, should be great if someone put some light in all this performance thing in the new mac pro, I just did a test, 3 video tracks with 4K Red footage, 50% of opacity each one and I just play the 2 min sequence, and Premiere started to drop frames at half resolution playback and when I changed to full resolution playback the sequence was unplayable, I mean, they sold this MacPro/Premiere workflow as the way to edit 4K without compromises and now we are not capable to deliver jobs because the poor performance... and I'm not talking now about the constant crashes and freezes, I'm talking about that we can't play just 3 tracks without any effect.
Would be great if someone put some light on this, maybe we are blaming adobe and it's apple's fault and we should go to the apple store to return the machine... I did test on the Mac and looks OK, I'm more than confuse about this...

HELP: Premiere Pro CC not using all CPU and RAM during rendering and export

Hello,
I am using Premiere Pro CC on a Windows 7. My timeline is quite simple with two videos, one with the movie (mpeg) and the other with the subtitles (avi).
When I render the sequence in PP or export, the rendering time is way too slow and it only uses around 15-20% of the CPU and 3 GB of RAM.
My hardware config is :
- CPU : i7-4770k 3.50Ghz
- RAM : 8 GB
- Disk : 2 x 3 TB SATA (no raid)
RAM is not the bottleneck, neither the disk access.
I have tried rendering and exporting the same project on an iMac (with an i5 2.7 Ghz and 4 GB RAM and only 1 disk) and the result is 4x faster !!!
The CPU usage is close to 100% as well as RAM usage.
So how come PP uses all resources availble on an iMac and not on a Windows 7 ?
Is there any known bug or software bottleneck on Windows 7 ?
My machine is brand new and nothing much installed besides Adobe products.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks,

I just rendered out a a 2 minute sequence with about 100 clips in it and Colorista effects on everything to the Vimeo 1080 H264 preset. It took about 5 minutes to render straight from Premiere, it used all the recourses it could, my CPU was running at near %100, same with my ram and GPU, I was happy.
Then I did another render with Red Giant Denoiser and it now wants to take 30 mins and it is only using about %20 of the recourses available. My problem isn't that its taking longer with Denoiser but that its not using all of my computers CPU and GPU.
Im rendering at maximum render quality and bit dept to H264 (Im happy to wait the extra time), if I try to use VRB 2 it encodes 1 pass at a time and wants to take up to 40 minutes.
I would appreciate some advice on this.

Why do Encore CS5 and Premiere Pro CS5 have intermittant Sync issues?

I am noticing that Encore CS5 is "buggy" regarding sync issues with material edited by Womble and Corel Video Studio and I am guessing other programs as well?
In high definition I take AVCHD and edit in Corel Video Studio. If I leave the project as one single 42 minute segment and import this asset into Encore CS5, more often than not there are bad sync issues. To get around this I have to divide the 42 minute project into approximately 6 smaller ones- Each smaller asset ends where I had done the editing. Encore does not have any problems now with these 6 smaller assets.
In standard definition I edit in Womble and export as a MPEG2 Program. Sometimes Encore has a problem with the asset sync and sometimes it does not. (I am guessing about 20% of my assets end up with a problem). The same asset if brought into TMP or brought back into Womble does not have any sync issue. If brought into Premiere Pro CS5 it will exhibit the same behavior as Encore- If Encore has a sync problem, so will Premiere Pro. So to get around this I then have to go back to the original womble file and break it up into smaller pieces, at every edit point I cut and export the smaller file just after the end of the transition I applied. With a 6 hour project I may end up with dozens of small files to get around this problem- not very efficient.
Any ideas how to fix this or why Encore is so buggy? Would moving the original assets around in Womble- example taking something that was at the end of the timeline and then moving it to the beginning cause these issues for Encore? Or is there some other cause?
Encore CS5
Premiere Pro CS5
Windows 7 64 BIT
Quad core
2.4 GHZ clock speed
6GB memory
150 GB free space on drive
NVIDIA GEFORCE 8500 card

I've used VideoReDo in the past, which I believe has some similar strategies to Womble. I found when I tested streams, that there were often problems in the source streams, and that the fix was not 100 percent.
You may also find such files that are not 100 percent the same length video to audio.
In any event, the possibility other than Encore being buggy is that the files you are bringing in have problems when Encore tries to validate them. I'm not saying Encore doesn't have its problems, but clean mpeg files do not have sync issues ordinarily.
For some scenarios, I like your workflow (edit mpeg files in a frame accurate mpeg editor that is not retranscoding the whole file), but the results are often not consistent.
You don't say, and I would certainly look at, the nature of the audio stream you are using. I can not tell you what the problems are, but some streams just do not edit well, even though they may play back okay in some players, but still have issues in Encore and/or Premiere.

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.

Will Lion 10.7.x run on MacBook Pro 17", MacBook Pro 2,1 with Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.33 GHz ?

Will Lion 10.7.x run on a 63-month old MacBook Pro 17", MacBook Pro 2,1 (2GB RAM) with Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.33 GHz ?
Currently running Leopard 10.5.8 and about to update to Snow Leopard.

It will run, if that's what you want. I'd think twice though. If you want to try Lion, upgrade your RAM to the max: 4GB's(Apple says 3, but your machine will run 4), however only a little over 3GB's will be able to be addressed(limitation of your computer). IMO, Lion needs a minimum of 4GB's of RAM to function properly. In your case, you'd be a little shy. I'd suggest you go to SL & stay there.

Adobe Premiere Pro System Requirements

Good morning,
For the online Adobe Premiere Pro System Requirements:
The Windows "Adobe Premiere Pro CC (2014) system requirements" are listed as "Microsoft Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (64 bit) or Windows 8 (64 bit)" and the Windows "Adobe Premiere Pro CC system requirements" are listed as "Windows 7 with Service Pack 1, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1". (Bolded emphasis added.) (Reviewed at System requirements | Adobe Premiere Pro on 12/28/2014.)
Assuming that all Windows requirements are to be "(64 bit)" for both Adobe Premiere Pro CC and CC (2014), then why is "Windows 8.1", that is a requirement for Adobe Premiere Pro CC, excluded from the requirements for Adobe Premiere Pro CC (2014), which is the latest version of Premiere Pro?
My point is: in a RAID'ed solid-state disk (SSD) structure, some of the workflow for maintaining a work station is different between Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Unless this omission is an editorial inconsistency, not having Windows 8.1 as a system requirement for Adobe Premiere Pro CC (2014) implies that Windows 7 is the better option for supporting Adobe Premiere Pro and for helping to maintain the hardware implementing it.
For the supporting the best SSD RAID workflow for Adobe Premiere Pro, please let me know if, indeed, that not including Windows 8.1 in the system requirements for Adobe Premiere Pro CC (2014) is an oversight.
Thank you.

An oversight? Yes probably.
Adobe's "System Requirements" page for Adobe Premiere Pro has been a joke for a long time so far as helping the user is concerned. Check out www.ppbm7.com if you really want to learn the true system requirements to use Adobe's software.
The current Premiere Pro CC (2014) system requirements list includes:
- Intel Core2 Duo... - wow, really, this is the requirement for 2014! Seems to me this would not support present day media and workflows very well at all.
- "... or faster hard drive" (no mention whatsoever about SSDs). I have a system with SSDs (no hard drives) and it runs Premiere Pro just fine with no hard drives at all.
- Internet connection and registration... Yes, it does seem that Adobe keeps the legal and other "fine print" portions of the system requirements page up to date.
Regarding Win 8.1, I've had some issues with installing some legacy software that I've used for years (and which run using Win 7 64-bit), however all the Adobe CC (2014) applications that I've tried seem to work just fine on my system (with Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit).

MacBook Pro and Intel Core 2 Duo?

Hey there everyone,
It is great that Apple is announcing the Intel Core 2 Duo, but when would it be available in the MacBook or MacBook Pro?
I am starting school in January and would like some time to use my new MB or MB Pro, but don't want to make a decision to buy and have the next gen processor avail next week...
The special with the free iPod Nano or reduced price iPod ends September 16th. Why are people waiting until next Tuesday, September 12 to make any purchases...I hope no bombshell will be dropped on everyone.
I was totally prepared to get my MacBook or MacBook Pro tomorrow, but VERY hesitant now.
Any advice? Am I making a big deal out of this? Will I EVEN notice a difference between the Core Duo and Core 2 Duo?
The main reason I am not buying a MB Pro is the heat issue and yet the Core 2 Duo is predicted to be cooler...
Help!!!

Wow great advice so far!
I was never into forums and discussion boards, but since I was buying a Mac again (the first was an LC II...for those who remember) I thought I would check the discussion board...yikes! Great one way, but information overload on the other.
TRUE there will never be a better Mac and to buy for what you need at the moment. Heat being a huge issue why I haven't purchased a MB Pro, it now seems as if the Core 2 Duo will not run much cooler which is a HUGE purchase deciding factor for me. The MacBook seems to run cooler for sure.
If I get the Core Duo MacBook/Pro with Tiger, can I upgrade to Leopard when it comes out in spring? Will they be compatible as I am not sure what 64 bit processors really do?
I can definately wait until next Tuesday to make my purchase, but I will only have until the end of next week to get the education special with the iPod at a huge discount...of course Apple is clearing stock for new iPods surely. The 30 gig video iPod ends up costing 115.00 CAD...can't beat the price that's the thing.
Since heat is such an issue for me with the MB Pro this means I will be leaning towards the white MB and it SEEMS unlikely they will be upgraded as they only came out in May/June.
All I want is to say I am on top of the computer game at the current moment (if possible) even if it only lasts 5-6 months. I am upgrading from an old Windows ME system, Pentium III, 128 Mb RAM, 733 Mhz processor...about 6 years old. My how much has changed since those times.
I am really not trying to make this decision difficult on myself...really!
You all are great for providing some great advice!

MacBook Pro and Core 2 Duo...Glossy or Matte?

Hi there,
I am anxiously awaiting to see what Apple will be announcing (hopefully) today with regards to the new Intel Core 2 Duo and their notebooks.
I definately want a MacBook Pro, but don't know if the Core 2 Duo is worth waiting for. I want my MB Pro for a good 3 years and don't want to limit myself for buying the Core Duo currently available.
BUT...the student discount ends on Sept. 16th for the iPod...kinda rushed, but I see Apple's point to clear out older stock first.
QUESTION: If I order my MB Pro with a GLOSSY screen and not the MATTE, could I potentially be getting a better made computer and NOT one of the stock models with all the problems.
The main reason I wanted the MB Pro was for the 15" screen and matte finish!!! Now, the glossy seems to be more popular so I REALLY NEED SOME ADVICE...
Thanks all!

Hey Harry,
At this point I have to wait for a Core 2 Duo...it just doesn't make sense to buy now right on the cusp of an upgraded processor. As for the iPod, I will get one later I guess...it makes sense.
As for the screen, are the colours super saturated with the glossy screen? I was initially looking at the MacBook with of course, the mandatory glossy screen and I guess I was forced to like it at the beginning. Looking directly side by side from the MacBook to the Pro with the matte screen the colours did seem more vivid...or saturated I guess. So this has made me stop and think.
When I am looking directly at the matte screen it is beautiful for sure! I am also thinking that either screen will look amazing in my home away from all the overhead flourescent lighing in the stores. This is an argument for both screen types.
I initially wanted the matte screen for LOW-MAINTENANCE up-keep and didn't want to worry about opening the MB Pro and getting my fingerprints on top of the screen etc.
I will be using the MB Pro school work, internet, iTunes for sure and other general use...I just hear so many people bragging about both screens that I am a bit hesitant.
I am favouring the matte screen though...

Is a Pentium(R) Dual-Core processor good enough for Adobe Premiere Pro?

is a Pentium(R) Dual-Core processor good enough for Adobe Premiere Pro? Under system requirements, Adobe listed Intel Core Duo...not sure if this is just as good?

Hi Brian,
Good question. Keep in mind that these are minimum system requirements. I have not had a core 2 duo for some time, but I recall that the performance was not that good at that time, and this was CS5.5, or so. If you are going to use this machine, be sure to work at lower playback resolutions until you can afford a more powerful computer.
Video editors typically have more powerful systems than the minimum system requirements. Check our hardware forum for details: Hardware Forum
Thanks,

Premiere Pro CS4 - editing video from GoPro video camera

I am having a problem trying to edit video from the GoPro camera in Premiere Pro CS4 (PP). Have not been able to get much help from GoPro - they just tell me to speak with Adobe. I think the video codec used by the camera is MJPEG (?). It won't play at all on the timeline. Interestingly it will in After Effects (AE) CS4 and if I export it out of AE as a Microsoft AVI file I can then play it in PP. However if I go straight to Media Encoder and import the clip and then try export the clip via ME as a Microsoft AVI the exported clip from ME won't play in Premiere Pro. I am confused. Does anyone know this camera, it's codec and why it just won't work when directly imported into Premiere Pro but it will when imported directly into After Effects. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Please see a post I made this morning under my screen name BruceERoberts .... details below
I just purchase Adobe Premiere Pro a few days ago - and subsequently updated it to Ver 4.2.1. A started a new project - I tried to import some video footage I just shot with a GOPro Hemet Cam while skiing at our local mountain. I can easlily see the clip using Real Media Player - or the Quick Time player. It is a 10.9 MB ... 7 second MPEG-4 movie clip. File name is "gopro0030.mp4"
I created a "bin" called video .... then right clicked to import the file. You can see the file name in the media browser. But the file would not import. I received this error message: "109C ImporterProcessServer.exe Application Error. The instruction at "0x05efcac" referenced memory at "0x00000014". The memory could not be read. CLick OK to terminate."
This is very frustrating - I just purchased the software - and it won't import a 7 second video clip! It did import still fotos with no problem. What can I do?
thank you for your attention to this.

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.
Neo.

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?

Premiere Pro CS4 and my laptop

Hi everyone,
I'm using Premiere Pro CS4 on my laptop with below specs:
Intel Pentium III Seon 2,27 Ghz
3GB Internal memory
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3430 (512 MB)
FUJITSU MHZ2250BH G2 (232 GB, IDE)
Windows XP 32 bits with Service Pack 3
Recently i've experienced really bad video playback. When I play a video to start edit it, it starts stuttering. I've tried the settings on "automatic quality" and "draft quality", bot in both situations the same problem. The video i'm editing now is HD1080 GoPro video. Also tried it was an already converted version of this video to AVI.
I expect that a laptop from the time that CS4 came out, suitable for 32bits system, should be working on my (in that time) better than average laptop.
Please let me know if i'm totally wrong and there is no way that Premiere is gonna work on my system!
Thanks in advance,
Danny
