Who needs a smelly manual. ;) Use the PDF version, it's much easier to search. :)

Premiere Pro Resource Central Connection Problem

Hello,
is nobody from Adobe able to help?
How can I bring Resource Central to work in Premiere Pro, or is it a bug?
I can not connect to Resource Central within Premiere Pro CS5 and Photoshop (Mac). Resource Central is reachable and working proper from Soundbooth.
Any idea how to fix it?
working in SB:
not working in Premiere Pro and Photoshop:
Best regards Ralf

Why would a call to technical support cost $249?
See this page, which states that you can get free technical support for product defects:
http://www.adobe.com/support/programs/customer/gss.html
Also, exactly what are you trying to do with Resource Central? It may be that what you're trying to do doesn't require Resource Central at all, since most things that you can get through there are available through other (better) means.

I Have this error when i try to access Resource central in Encore CS4:We're sorry, but there was an error communicating with the server. Please try again and if the problem persists, contact Adobe Technical Support. (200) INVALID_QUERY : [object XMLList]

Please anyone whit same problem tell me something i need a solution...

I do not believe the Resource Central exists anymore. You can download the CS6 full library.

Resource Central missing in Premiere Pro CS6

I don't see how I can access Resource Central in CS6. Does it still exist?

it seems (hope I am wrong) that Adobe is slowly removing features that were in the Suites to make it more attractive to move to their Creative Cloud rental model.
I question that. There's nothing in the Cloud that replaces Resource Central or CS Review. And you don't need the Cloud to get Story.
Creative Cloud is just another way for folks to get Adobe software. You can buy, or rent. Same end product either way. (With the exception that Cloud users get new features right away, whereas purchasers must wait for a full release to get those same features.)

I have this message to the resource central "error communication with the server encore cs4"

can somebody help me;

Resource Central is no longer available. I don't have a link to it regarding Encore in particular.
Re: Resource Central in CS6 ?
Was there anything there that was not in the full Encore library?

Slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro

I am having a similar slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro, but I don't have bloated prproj file size.
Here is what I am working with:
Mac Pro intel quad core 2.8ghz
OSX 10.6.7 Snow Leopard
6Gigs RAM
3TB storage between 4 drives, each drive with about 50% free space
I am editing a 10 minute HD video from avchd files. The edited video is very heavy in photoshop files with a variety of different fx including green screen. The system has slowed down to almost a standstill. Anytime I move the playcurser, or try to do any action, it displays the spinning top "thinking" icon and takes 15 seconds to several minutes to unfreeze. I am often forced to force quit and I have gotten unexpected quits several times. The program also freezes on startup frequently.
No other programs are running. When I export with media encoder, it took about 4 hours to complete. The last 4 or so photoshop images I added seemed to tip the program over the edge. It had been slowing down some, but those last few really dropped the processing speed. Before those additions, export took 30 min to 1hr.
I did delete the render files (did not check if the file size was bloated beforehand, oops) but it has not significantly affected my performance.

Do you need all of those extra pixels in the stills? Are you panning the full 4976?
Two things to consider are that if you using, say a 1920 x 1080 Sequence Frame Size, you can only see that at any time, regardless of how large the images are in pixels. If there are extra pixels, i.e. the Pan is not using all 4976 pxls., I would Scale to just what you need in PS, prior to Import.
If you are doing any Scale in PrPro, its Scaling algorithms are not as efficient, as those in PS. [Note: CS5 and 5.5 are a major improvement on that statement.]
With many large stills (the max for CS4 is 4096 x 4096, if there ARE extra pixels, pushing those around will use up resources, and quickly. As a test, some years back, I was working on a "photo wall," and was using 4000 x 4000 images. The workstation had no issues with slowness, until I got to the 5th large still. By the 8th, the Project was too slow to edit. I had to wait for everything. Luckily, I have AE, and it handles large stills much more efficiently, and much differently, than PrPro. I just moved to an AE Comp, and completed the Project, finishing up n PrPro, after I Exported from AE.
Just something to think about. With Scaling in PrPro, this is one time, where bigger is not necessarily better.
Good luck,
Hunt

Resource central problem

hello I have problem with resource central in Encore, I want to download templates (I dont have them because I have CS4 downloaded, not on DVDs). My first problem was I couldn't even join resource central, but I fixed it by removing config file from Required folder. In my resource central I just can´t see anything other than the news, it seems that entire menu bar is missing. just take a look at screenshots.
I found this here on forum, that's probably how it should look like:
But screenshot from my PC looks like this:
So if you could help me or lead me to solution I would be very glad.
PS> Resource central in Adobe Soundbooth works perfectly, I have Master Collection purchased and installed on my Windows 7.

Thanks for the info but it is actually CS4 that Im having the issue with.
I have an open support ticket with Adobe but as of yet still no luck for a fix.
Have tried updates, recreating the preferences file, reinstallation..... no joy

How to achieve the distort motion effect ala Final Cut Pro in Premiere CS4?

Newbie here.
I have just recently started with video editing. In Final Cut Pro I have the option to distort a still image in the motion/effects panel. In premiere cs4 I only find the option to scale it up/down without the option to individually distort the four corners. Does anyone know how this can be done in premiere cs4?
The effect i am going for is the same as in Apples presentation of iPad. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/specialevent0110/
I have an presentation wich I need to insert all the slides from the powerpoint presentation in the video.
Any help would be appreciated. ( I have searched around for an solution, but without results)
Regards T

Here is a resource, that deserves a bookmark, the PrPro-Wiki. Plenty of great FAQ articles and tutorials.
I see the "Distort" part of the Effect in FCP, but the "Motion" aspect was throwing me. I kept thinking Posterize Time, and that is anything but what you were looking for. That's why I was going to head to Google for the FCP Help files, or similar.
Good luck,

Best Video Card for non 3d/compositing work in Premiere CS4?

Hi all, I'm looking to optimize my system where I can to speed up the editing process. I edit 1080p footage from the Canon 5D MKII (h.264 MOV files)using half-res h.264 proxies, but CS4 seems to hang a lot in the timeline view and clips just disappear and instead show green. I'm switching to half-res MPEG-2 (.m2v) proxies now and so far that problem seems to have gone away (still testing), but when timeline display quality is at "High Quality" (vs. automatic) there's still some chop during slow pans (not seen with "Automatic" or "Draft Quality").
Anyway, I'm looking for the weakest point in my system and suspect the video card. My system is an 2.66 i7 processor, 6GB 1333 ram, 1x160GB sata II HD (OS/Apps), 3x1TB SATA II RAID 0 (paging file, data), and an $80 ATI 4650 512 MB video card running Vista 64.
So all that said, what's the best general graphics card for editing HD video in Premiere CS4? I don't care about 3d or compositing at this stage, just basic editing of unrendered (timeline playback) HD video, maybe sometimes 1-3 HD layers, some basic color correction effects (b+w, contrast, etc), dissolves, text overlay, some clip speed manipulation.
Many seem to recommend the Nvidia quadro cards, but I haven't found any information to suggest they help with anything other than 3D/compositing, which I don't need (and therefore don't need to pay the premium).
There's also the Nvidia CX card, but it's main feature is touted as encoding h.264, whereas I could care less about that and ideally need decoding of h.264 in the timeline to be better. I haven't seen any great reviews on this card of heard of average user testimonials, probably because it's $2k and it mainly marketed as "zoom more fluidly in photoshop, export h.264 4x faster", which seem like minor issues vs. "better realtime playback of HD video".
I sort of rambled, but if any informed CS4 users can help answer the question regarding the best video card for general CS4 editing use (not 3d/compositing stuff) I'd love to get more insight.

So in Media Encoder CS4, I tried encoding one of the clips that plays back the least smooth in the Premiere timeline (a slow pan across intricate patterns on a sand dune in death valley) to the following:
Format: P2 Movie, Preset: DVCPRO HD 720P 30
(this was the only format in media encoder that mentions DVCPRO HD)
I noticed when trying to customize the setting, that there is no 30 fps option, just 23.976, 29.97, and 59.94. I just went with 29.97 as that was the closest to the 30 fps of the source MK II footage. The width and height were also unajustable at 960x720 for the DVCPRO HD format.
Playing the output in the timeline view of Premiere was comparable in smoothness to the m2v file. I looked at my resource monitor during playback looking for bottlenecks, and the CPU does seem to spike at 100% initially when playing this clip back. I reverted to the m2v version and also saw the same CPU spike. I also reverted back to the down-res'd mp4 version, same spike. Moving display quality down to draft does allow for smooth playback here.
So I guess there's something about this clip that is CPU intensive to play back in the timeline in any of these formats. The original 1080p version plays back perfectly in both quicktime and VLC player.
Anyway, for now I think I'm content with using the m2v proxies as a big chunk of the clips are fairly smooth, and using a reduced quality display mode for clips that don't play as smoothly is accpeptable for now. At least so far I'm not seeing the hanging/video not displaying (and instead showing a green screen) that I was with the mp4 proxies.
If anyone has any other suggestions as to how to get smoother timeline playback for these proxies (or the original h.264 .MOV files), however, whether it be a hardware upgrade (e.g. better video card) or a different proxy codec, I'd love to hear them and give it a shot.

Premiere CS4 Quick render

Premiere CS4
Ram 6MB
Working with 1920x1080 footage
Gentlemen !
I am working on a 5 mnis song , each time I send it to AME to render or export to AME it takes atleast 5 to 6 hours to render, Obviuosly I try to stay native with my output file, but sometimes I choose DV NTSC for the output file.
My question is, is there any way to choose a different format for output file, that would take less time to render ? I mean just to check my colors and effects and etc.
What i mean by that is ,my system is not that powerful to handle HD footage very well, so I have to render my footage so I can check all effects and etc.

About if I change the output file's size to a smaller size ?
the prob with that is that you're still dealing with your original asset(s) ( video) and now compressing it and downscaling it etc, and the program has to work pretty hard to do all those calculations and make the product...( like h264 or wmv or whatever )
so its still the same problem re: strain on your computer stuff and time involved....plus you wont know for sure if that "translation" is gonna be as good product re: transistions etc...
lets say you have effects that need the program to "tween" frames..create frames in between your original frames...well....in the math etc and compression algorithyms ( sp? ) that makes that happen from one codec to another is different...and maybe your "color" and overall quality wont give you an " honest" translation compared to if you just export for your final product ( the high res ). Plus, to do the downscaling and so on is actually MORE of a strain on resources maybe...its not a given that by making it smaller it is gonna take less time to export...might take LONGER
know what I mean? it might be close and good enough for what you want to do with your particular output...but I wouldnt trust it myself if I had to give it to someone and stand by it ...
so youre stuck with long exports is what it sounds like, and thank goodness you can even get THAT done !

Premiere CS4 effect switch for each video channel

Premiere CS4
Windows
Gentlemen !
Does anyone know if there is a Master Effect Switch for each individual video channel
What I am saying is, is there any way to turn Off or On the effect for each individual video channel
Let's say I wanna turn Off all video effects for video channel 1
Just similar to the icon of the eye or lock for each channel
I have about 40 clips on channel one's timeline , I wanna turn all effect Off for a minute, check something the turn it back On !
Thanks

With the Nested Sequences, turning thing OFF for performance would be easy, but Nesting does take some additional Resources.
For a Feature Request, see this LINK.
Good luck,
Hunt
BTW - some Effects hardly seem to slow things down, while some are quite resource heavy. For playback, Rendering the Timeline normally makes things very smooth, at the expense of the time to Render.

Resource Central not Connecting

Seems as though I can connect to resource central ins Soundbooth, but in Premiere I get an error message saying "were sorrry, there was an error connecting to the server...please try again."
I read some post pointing out firewal issues/connectivty, but I ruled that our because I was able to connect with another program. Anyone have any ideas with this?
Thanks

Installing 4.1 as we speak
Good move.

Banish Resource Central Tab?

I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 on a Win7 64-bit system. Each time I launch a project in Premiere Pro, the Resource Central tab pops up and demands immediate attention. I've used ResEdit to shut off web access to Resource Central, but it complains bitterly that it can no longer connect to its master.
Is there any way to simply banish the Resource Central tab from my projects?

Why don't you just close the panel? If you close a panel, it should stay closed. You could go one step further and save a new workspace after closing the panel, and use that as your default workspace.

Resource Central

How come my resource central will not connect so I can get updates to news and library templates?

John,
I wonder if you just have a smurfed installation. Were it me, especially in light of getting Soundbooth to open Resource Central, but no other programs that should support it, would be to shut down ALL anti-virus, pop-up blocking and spysweeping software, be sure to run as Administrator and then do a Repair Installation of the entire suite. CS4 MC is bigger, but I had to do the Repair route with CS2 Production Studio and it only took about 45 mins.. In my case, the installation of PrElements 4 killed all of CS2 Production Studio, but I had it all back up and running perfectly in less than an hour.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes.
Hunt
PS - It does seem that Encore CS4 might have more issues, than previous versions, but I have to say that EncoreDVD 2.0 has been 100% rock-solid for me over the years, and I've delivered almost 2000 DVD-Videos in that time. Just do not know if En CS4 has issues, or maybe newer OS's and hardware are exposing things that were always there, but lurking just below the surface?
