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.

Why is the Nvidia GTX 680 CUDA card supported by Premiere Pro CC, and NOT After Effects CC?

Why is the Nvidia GTX 680 CUDA card supported by Premiere Pro CC, and NOT After Effects CC?

Thanks Todd for all the info. It is much appreciated and very helpful. On a different note, could you possibly direct me to the correct forum to fix this bug? I am suddenly recieving a warning on my System SSD referencing Adobe Exchange. Here is a screen grab to best explain:

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.

Premiere PRo CC Clip durch After Effects Komposition ersetzen funktioniert nicht

Wenn ich von Premiere aus einen Clip über die Funktion " Durch After Effects Komposition ersetzen" bearbeiten möchte, öffnet sich AE, legt ein neues Projekt an das ich dann auch speichere. Der Clip wird im Projektfenster auch angezeigt allerdings mit einer schwarzen Oberfläche. Wenn ich den Clip dann ins Kompositionsfenster ziehe wird eine neue Komposition angelegt aber das Vorschaufenster bleibt schwarz.
Wenn ich einen Clip den ich vorher aus Premiere exportiert habe und den dann in AE importiere funktionerts. Kann mir da jemand weiterhelfen????

Geht leider immer noch nicht. Kann zur Zeit nicht auf Forum zugreifen.

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....?

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 crashes after using "File"-Menu

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5
Hello,
As of yesterday, can the "File" menu no longer operate. Other submenus can not be done. The program crashes after.
I have been three times the program is uninstalled and reinstalled. No improvement.
Yesterday I drove down the PC and there were 21 Windows updates, are there perhaps relationships?
Who can help me?
Gerd

Update! - FIX...
Spent about 5 hours working with a 2nd level Adobe Support tech and we were able to track down the error. You’re not going to believe this.
Adobe Premiere was the only application affected by the bug. AF, Encore, Audition were all able to open a WAV file with no problem. Premiere would lock up (Not Responding) as soon as you tried to open a WAV file.
Come to find out it was not an Adobe problem after all. I installed the Smart Sound plugins in June/July of this year and that plugin was the issue. Once it was removed I could import Wav files again.
Smart Sound has upgraded the plugin and the new plugin works just fine.
My thanks to the Adobe tech who stayed with the problem until it was resolved. And I suggested to the SmartSound tech that they find a better way to notify users when they find a bug of this magnitude. But you might guess how well that was revived.

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.

Premiere Pro CS5 not responding after 55 minutes of capture with intensity shuttle

Hi and thank you for the valuable resources on this forum.
I am capturing analogue video into Premiere Pro CS5 using he Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle (with Time Base Corrector in the video path). My captures are stopping at 54 or 55 minutes when the computer becomes non responsive. This has happened with the Blackmagic motion jpeg codec as well as the 10 bit YUV capture. Same thing happens if I capture with media express (the blackmagic capture software)
I have tweaked my system as per many of the recommendations in the forum.
Running CS5 5.03, autosave set to 10 minutes (same problem with no autosave or autosave at 20 minutes)
Windows 7 64 bit fully updated
i7 - 930 cpu
Gigabyte x58A - UDP5 (Revision 1)
24 Gb Ram
Nvidia 470 - MSI with the twin Frozr cooling solution.
Restore off, indexing off, windows search off,
Followed tips from forum and Viper regarding optimizing system
3 Hard drives
System on standard Sata 2 drive
Project capture to OCZ Vertex 3 120 g SSD drive (nice bit of gear) running on Sata 3 controller
Page file on another hard drive
Norton 360 unistalled
Anything else I could find unistalled or turned off.
Firmware and drivers for on board USB latest from Driver Station as per Blackmagic Recommendations.
Very succesful capture of things shorter than 55 minutes but I have some longer things I would like to capture in one go.
I have used process explorer to watch what happens. Nothing special that I can identify in terms of processes but cpu seems to be going to 100%.
With progessive tweaks the problems remains the same.
I am not aware of any file size limits with Premire Pro or Blackmagic - are there some?
Considering reinstall but would greatly appreciate any insights. My first post so I hope I have provided the right info to help you help me.
Thank you
Andrew

Good that you got it fixed... bridging device drivers have cause problems clear back to the computer version of the stone ages
I still have a Pinnacle Dv500 card (used via dual-boot with WinXP and Premiere 6x) that went through several device driver versions to get everything working right
While everything is working right... make a full "picture" of your hard drive to external USB drive to make recovering easy in case something goes wrong
Hardware crashes or virus infections happen, so you should buy software to make a full
backup of your hard drive to an external USB hard drive... plus, making step-by-step
backups during a new install or major program addition makes it easy to go back a step
if something doesn't work
This backup and then restore is, of course, only to the same computer with a new drive
(or the same drive as long as you don't mind writing over everything) since doing a
restore to a new computer won't work due to Windows and many programs having activation
information that is keyed to your hardware (which is why Windows will force you to RE-
Activate if you change very much hardware)
The product I use is at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm
Image runs off of a bootable CD via Linux (the Zip you download includes a program to
make the bootable CD) and it reads EVERYTHING on the drive, even the hidden
registration information, so everything is restored when needed... and you may restore
the image to a brand new drive in case of a crash, and not have to re-install anything
Please note that I own no part of Image, and I don't get a referral fee (that is just a
plain web link) but I use the program and it has saved me a LOT of trouble when I had a
hard drive die... and I was able to restore everything and not have to re-install or
re-activate a single program, from Windows on up

Premiere Pro Dynamic Link to After Effects stopped working

For about 6 months my Link between Premiere Pro and After Fx is not working. Premiere Pro sends it to After FX but when it is there the composition is empty and no media has been exported, even though the PP timeline is marked as a linked compostion. Its entirely empty, the media has vanished.
Id love to fix this issue. I guess it's a reinstall???
Latest CC, 10bit BM uncompressed timeline, Maverick (though it wasnt working on snow leopard either).

Sorry guys, may have just found the problem! Just realised that somehow my CC version on my disk is not listed as downloaded in my Cloud drop down pane. So im updating it and im assuming that will fix the problem.

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.

http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/whatsnew/
I believe we finally (don't quote me though) have HDV scene detection on capture.
hope this helps,
Dennis
ps - provide some linkage Harm!

The timeline stops unexpectedly in both Premiere Pro CS5 and Encore even after rendering.

I have 16 GB of RAM and a Z77X-UP4TH Gigabyte motherboard. Once I received a message that my RAM was almost all used up. How is that possible for a 7 minute video. I tried deleting photoshop pictures from Photoshop that I use in the video and the history of undo's in Premiere Pro. This has occurred on separate Premiere Pro projects usually about 3/4 through the timeline. It usually only does it once and always at the same place. I even tried replacing with different video but it still stops.

I just wanted to thank you Jim for all the time you spent with me trying to solve my problem. This morning I got in touch with Adobe and the service technition solved my problem. There were two problems, here is what he did. Please follow the steps to fix the crash issue or a playback issue: Go to start/search program box, type %appdata% and then got to roaming folder/adobe/premiere pro/5.0 and rename it as 5.0. Then re-launch and check. He said sometimes microsoft updates mess up the preferences and therefore you must rename the file to reset the preferences. The second problem was that I needed to empty the media cache after long projects. He told me to try cleaning media cache in edit/preferences/media and clean media cache files. It's running well now. But once again I appreciate your help. Thanks Jim.

Premiere Pro CS6 vs. After Effects CS6

I would like to know which of these programs would be best for me. I shoot video with my Canon Vixia HFS 20 HD camcorder. I have a decent green screen studio set up in my basement. I currently use Corel VideoStudio Pro X3 and am not happy with the poor chroma key features it has. Is the Chroma key the same or similar on both of these programs? I would rather spend less for Premiere Pro unless there is some really cool stuff in After Effects that would make the additional cost worth it.
I just bought a new Dell XPS 8500 desktop with a Core i7 processor, 12GB of RAM, Nvidia GeForce GT 640 1GB GDDR5, 460 watt power supply, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and a 2TB hard drive. I just installed a WD Black 2TB internal second hard drive. I would be willing to upgrade the graphics card and/or RAM if it would make a noticeable difference.
I would really like some good advice on what to buy and suggestions of computer upgrades if needed.

1. If you feel unhappy with the reply, why did you mark it as the 'correct answer'?
That just decreases the probability some other Forum users visit your thread and give you an answer you will be more satisfied with...
2. You probably misunderstands Creative Cloud Files concept. Those 20 GB are for sharing files, they don't limit you in storing and editing footages on your hard drive, and you don't have to use it.
3. Both PrPro and AE have sets of keying tools that can do a decent job. However, the result always depends on many factors such as set up quality, the footage quality (it's difficult to pull a good key out of highly compressed footage) and your skills. Since AE is a compositing tool, you can pull better key there out of poor quality footage via several steps (which requires investing some time on learning).
Just download trial versions of both applications and test on your own.
If you're unhappy with built-in keying tools and have some money, you can extend them with 3-rd party plug-ins (e.g. Red Giant Primatte Keyer).

Rendering from Premiere Pro Dynamic Link vs After Effects = fast vs slow?

So I'm doing graphics for a show using a fake 3D look in Adobe After Effects CC 2014.1. In segment 1 there are about 30 fonts that display for about 3-4 seconds each. Technically it's just a bunch of 2D layers of text, not a real tricky or intensive thing.
In my Premiere timeline, things render pretty quickly in the sequence. The show is composed of RED R3D 6K files, AJA KiPro quicktime files and some AVCHD stuff. Sequence timeline is 1080i29.97 for broadcast delivery. The sequence is rendering out to ProRes422 HQ. With no graphics, even the RED 6K files render out snappy. So I've brought these new graphics in as a Dynamic Link file. When I try to render out the graphics things get SUPER slow. Inordinately so. I don't get it. I thought the new "Render and Replace" would speed things up (great feature) however that seems to make things just as slow. So now I'm rendering out of After Effects the old fashioned way (each font is a 10 second file or so) with an alpha channel. I chose the 8-bit Cineform codec w/ alpha channel. Things rendered out, as expected, very quickly. A few minutes and all 42 fonts I built were done.
So what I don't get is why render and replace is so much slower than manually rendering straight out from After Effects CC 2014.1. Based on the time stamps from a "render and replace" process I did overnight - it took about 6 hours to render out a handful of graphics. I rendered out twice the amount straight from After Effects CC 2014.1 this morning in like 5-10 minutes. Isn't render & replace basically just rendering stuff out straight from After Effects (or AME) in the background and then just popping it in your timeline? If that's what is supposed to be happening, I don't understand the discrepancy in time. I'll bring the rendered out files into Premiere and see how quickly that video renders over the original video.
I just wanted to throw this out there to see if I'm missing some obvious thing or if this is as expected behavior.
#editorproblems #deliverydeadline

What, exact, version of CC 2014 do you have?
How long have you used AE?
When did this problem start?
Have you tried rebooting your machine?
