Screen size and Premiere Pro

So, I use to use Premiere Pro when I worked mostly from a desk top. I switch to PE when I got a laptop. Well, I am thinking of getting PPro again. My laptop has enough RAM and processor speed and all that - BUT it has a 13.5 inch screen. (I travel alot and need/prefer a small laptop).
Here is the question. If I go back to PPro am I going to go nuts trying to use it on such a small screen? PE works pretty well on the laptop, it's not too squished together. But PPro has so many more features and windows.
Anyone have any experience editing with PPro on a 13.5in screen (resolution 1366x768)? I could use some of the xtra features of PPro but if it is too difficult to work with on my screen I just as well stay with PE. (FYI: I contacted Adobe and they said PPro will work fine on my laptop... just condenced into a small space.)
Thanks in advance for the feedback.

>resolution 1366x768
If PPro will work at all, some of the screen will not display

Problem with screen size in Premiere Pro CS5?

I'm making a movie in Premiere Pro CS5 and I've ran into a problem with the screen size. The source screen shows my footage in widescreen (16:9) but my project screen is playing the widescreen footage in standard size (4:3) so it is cutting off some of the footage from the screen. I would like to make my entire project standard size so how do I do that? (Most of the chopped off footage was adjusted in After Effects so does that have anything to do with it?)
Thanks for any help you can give!

The properties of the footage are:
872 x 486
00;00;25;00, 29.97 fps
48000 Hz - 32-bit Float - Stereo
The properties of the sequence are:
Editing Mode: DV NTSC
Timebase: 29.97 frames/second
Video:
Frame Size: 720 horizontal 480 vertical 4:3
Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1/DV NTSC (0.9091)
Fields: Lower Field First
Display Format: 30fps Drop-frame Timecode
Audio:
Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
Display Format: Audio Samples
Video Previews:
Preview File Format: NTSC DV
Codec: DV NTSC
Width: 720
Height: 480
I'm also quite a beginner at Premiere Pro and basically all the Adobe programs, so are there any good websites (preferably free) that give good help and information for beginners like me?
Thanks!

After Effects CS6 and Premiere Pro CS6 Long Startup and Application Hang

Problem:
After Effects and Premiere Pro CS5.5 and CS6 are very slow to start all of a sudden. Around 5 minutes to get to/by the intro dialogue box. For AE, the majority of the time is spent on the "initializing user interface." Then, if I can make a comp, and even a layer inside that comp, it will "Hang" if I attempt to open AE's General preferences for example (no preferences window ever comes up). This "hang" is what the Event Viewer in windows calls it, with the faulting module being afterfx.exe. Premiere is not much different. It makes it to the new project window fast, but after setting project parameters and creating the first sequence, I can't get into the preferences either and the application hangs. It is important to note that if I have another application open, like Chrome or Firefox for example at the time the application hangs, they will freeze as well. As soon as I kill the Afterfx.exe process, they come back to life.
I have read nearly all threads on the subject, and am struggling to find a solution:
Deleted preferences folder under my username's appdata.
Turned off Firewall (network traffic from dynamiclink, qtserver, etc was allowed, but what the hay)
ran windows system file checker/malwarebytes/rkill/rootkit detection.
checked for windows compatibility checkboxes under the file.
Uninstalled Wacom Tablet drivers
Disabled Aero
Started with ctrl-alt-shift to delete pref.
uninstalled video driver and replaced with one 6 months ago.
uninstalled, reinstalled, and tested various quicktime versions back to version 7.69
moved plugins folder
moved opengl's plugin out of the folder temporarily
Disabled all 3rd party codecs (xvid was the only one installed and for months)
reinitialized default directshow filters
checked for adobe font list (none found) and removed any fonts from 1 month ago to present.
used msconfig to selective startup without other applications/services running.
Uninstalled all adobe products, and reinstalled.
I performed all of these in a systematic manner, trying to solve the problem. None have fixed the problem.
So it doesn't seem to be a network issue, a codec issue, a plugin issue, a driver issue, font issue, or conflicting application. Any thoughts?
System Info:
PC Windows 7 pro 64-bit SP1
Core i7 - 960 24GB ram
AMD Radeon 6750 v12.10
Adobe CS6 Master Collection

Who's says that Microsoft can't debug?
I used msconfig, first disabling startup items, -same result.
Enabled all startup items, disabled all non-microsoft services - AE worked!
I re-enabled each service in turn until AE crashed.
The fault was related to an item for a video streaming device I have in my house. It was Monsoon-multimedia's Vulkano Service. Sometimes under the old name of Hava, this is an app that acts like a sling-box to send my Cable TV to my screen. It does load a couple of virtual devices in device manager, and uses a proprietary codec.
I uninstalled the vulkano streamer application and rebooted the external Vulkano device. I reinstalled the Vulkano and verified it connected to the device and could stream. Once it did, I tried AE again and IT WORKED!
I wonder if simply rebooting the Vulkano would have fixed it. Its like opening the garage door to turn on the refridgerator.
Thanks for the help!

AMD FirePro D500 and Premiere Pro CS6 and After Effects CS6?

My company just recently purchased the new 2013 Mac Pro with the AMD FirePro D500 graphics cards. Everytime I try to open After Effects CS6 I get a GPUManager Sniffer Result Code: 3 error and Premiere Pro CS6 sits on the splash screen indefinitely. Does Adobe not play nice with the new card? Am I out of luck?

In effort to fix the problem while waiting for a response I unstalled both AE and PP CS6 but not I can't seem to reinstall them from anywhere.... so I don't know what version of After Effects I have/had.

Being serious about HD and Premiere Pro.

Hi all,
Jeron wrote a reply to a topic on the CS3 windows forum that contained...
"If you are really serious about HD and Premiere Pro, IMHO the only way to go is uncompressed with an Aja Xena card. I have the least problems and get the best quality."
Ok,
can i get some user opinions on what they think are increasing levels of quality with your idea of some hardware/software/editing configuration like the one offered by Jeron?
For instance...
Level 1 - capture compressed via 1394 firewire card and edit in HDV.
Level 2 - capture compressed via 1394b firewire card / convert via Cineform / edit in HD.
Level 3 - capture uncompressed via sdi Aja Xena card and edit in HD.
Any opinions?

Harm pretty much summed it up really well, Nelson.
I've only ever shot HDV so I can only comment on that. If you are shooting HDV, you can...
1. Edit it as HDV
2. Edit it in an intermediate codec like Cineform's
3. Get the hardware to ingest it as uncompressed HD by getting an HD-SDI converter (or use HDMI if you can).
I usually just do #1. Lately I've been using Avid for HDV because it works better for my workflow, which is multi-cam with the audio recorded separately from the video. I'm hoping Adobe can fix the bugs that will make me productive again with PPro, because I miss dynamic link.
I have a HD Connect LE which will let me convert the firewire to HD-SDI and ingest as uncompressed HD (10 bit or 8 bit) using an Aja Xena. I only do that as 10 bit if I want to tweak the image alot with special effects from Lightwave or particleIllusion and with my green screen work.
I don't use #2 because I don't like Cineform's preset and the way it deals with non-Cineform filters and transitions. That is just a personal preference. I tend to use effects that are cross-NLE like Boris FX, so they work the same everywhere, Vegas, Avid, PPro, AE; etc. (Coming from an Avid background where their intermediate works better than native HDV with ALL filters and effects, Cineform was even more disappointing...)
Most people should be fine with Cineform. Chances are you will be happy with #1 or #2. Number 3 is a huge expense which is really not worth it if you are shooting on a compressed format like HDV in the first place. For me it is a better solution than Cineform, though if I want the extra headroom of 10 bit media.
(My comments in that other thread were a reaction to the OP ranting about Adobe not being "professional enough" for him to edit his "feature film" with a $700 HDV camera using "CINEFORM HD". I was trying to tell him if he is really serious, he wouldn't be shooting a "feature film" with a $700 HDV camera and editing in a compressed file workflow.)

CS5 After Effects and Premiere Pro

I am using CS5 After Effects and Premiere Pro with footage from a Canon 5D Mark III. Shooting/editing 1080p 24 (or at least their version of it). What are the best render settings/codecs to use to export from AE for import into Premiere Pro other than the animation codec or Pro Res? I dont have Pro Res and the animation codec is great but the file size slows down the app. Thx in advance.
Or a few resources to explain the whole codec/export/bitrate/etc issue once and for all for different situations wether it be brodcast or internet or simply burning a dvd to play on a HD TV. It is almost like this is some kind of secret no one will tell...LOL...i cant find a difinitive answer anywhere.

As is stated above there are Production codecs which can be lossless, nearly lossless, and at higher bit depth. Production Codecs include Uncompressed (huge files but fast do decode and will not playback in real time) Editing Codecs like Black Magic, Avid, ProRez, and others that are smaller, can still be lossless, may support alpha channels and higher bit depths, and Archival Codecs like Microcosm, JPEG2000, PNG, which support alpha channels, are lossless, and on some systems, will playback in real time.
Editing codecs are specifically designed to be played back in a NLE. These are good choices for a Premiere Pro / AE workflow. So are Archival Codecs. If your project involves a lot of sharing of files between users and apps, then pick a format common to everyone that is at the highest bit depth your storage system can accommodate.
There are also image sequence formats. These include PSD sequences, TGA, TIFF, PNG and others. Some support higher bit depth (32bit Float). Image Sequences work great, have advantages when it comes to correcting just a few frames here and there, and are used to a great extent in professional production pipelines. They are much more flexible than video but they have a distinct disadvantage when it comes to keeping track of the files and keeping things organized.
Then there are delivery codecs. These are designed for playback. They are not suitable for production because delivery codecs use GOP compression, are limited to low bit depth, and are not lossless. IOW, if you render to a delivery codec, then you process and render again to the same codec the artifacts start to build up. H.264 for example, after just 2 or 3 passes, even at very high quality settings, falls completely apart.
Consumer and ProSumer cameras use delivery codecs for image capture. Your Cannon 5D does. This is OK, and it's the only option you've got with some cameras, but the best workflow for these types of capture systems is to transcode the footage to a production codec before you do anything. Production codecs will render faster because it takes less time to decode the footage for processing. You should never render AVCHD or MPEG footage back to the same codec. Always use a production codec until you're project is ready to archive and deliver.
One note on ProRez on Windows. This is not a good idea for production. You cannot maintain proRez native 10bit color space. You should not render to ProRez using 3rd party workarounds because you're just building a proRez container for a windows compressed video. Sure, it will playback on a Mac, but the actual image will have lost important detail and color depth.
Let me give my humble opinion on Dynamic Link. This works great for a shot or two in a Premiere Sequence. This works great for working with Audio in Premiere and Audition. This works great for rendering for delivery or even production using the Adobe Media Encoder. Did you note my second sentence? Dynamic link between AE and Premiere Pro for a few shots in a sequence is a good idea and a time saver, but if you're cutting a film that's over a few minutes, each scene should be it's own sequence. If the scene has more than just a few shots that need to be processed in After Effects then using Dynamic Link can easily become a monster you don't want to deal with. The key to efficient post production of an effects laden production is planning. You've got to cut for story first, then produce your effects shots with sufficient handles (extra frames) to allow some fine tuning, then recut the final. Any other workflow on a long project is just wasting time.

Screen Size and Resolution on Remote Access Mavericks

Hi Forum,
Accessing my Mac Mini remotely and it has a new install of Mavericks. The Screen size and shape and resolution isn't right, but Screen options in System doesn't give me any options. Is this because, physically, no screen is attached? Do only screen sizes and options come up when a screen is attached?
it currently shows 1280x960 [i think - just turned off the mac to get back to work] or 'scaled to fit'. Neither is right for the MBP remote access,. It was fine before i upgraded.
any ideas?

Hi xerhino, and a warm welcome to the forums!

Both are referencing cooltype.dll. I ran Font Doctor on all system and non-system fonts and found no errors. Booted without Extensis Suitcase loading. Nothing works. All 32 bit programs work fine. Any clues would be appreciated.

It does not necessarily mean a "corrupt" font, but can be a font that PrPro, and PS, cannot handle.
Though I have read that changes have been made, Open Office's DejaVu font would crash PrPro's Titler - every time. There are quite a few others. Font Dr, and similar utilities, will not see the font(s) as corrupt, but they are so poorly designed, that PrPro and PS cannot deal with them.
Though it can be a long, drawn out process, one can often zero in on the problem font(s), with a little work. This is accomplished by first defining the "System Fonts," and not touching them. Then, uninstall half of the remaining fonts, and testing PrPro and PS. If they launch fine, you know that somewhere in that list of fonts, the problem exists. If there is still a failure to launch, chances are good that the problem font(s) reside in that half, that are still installed. Note: because the problem still exists, does not guarantee that there are NOT problem fonts in that uninstalled group, so keep that in mind.
Repeat the proces, by uninstalling half of the remaining fonts and testing.
If necessary, repeat by removing half of the now remaining fonts and testing.
When you get to a point, where you are no longer getting problems, reinstall fonts, in small groups, testing in between. The smaller the groups, the easier it will be to pinpoint the problem font(s).
Keep notes on which fonts you are uninstalling and reinstalling, until you narrow it down to the problem font(s).
I would start by uninstalling any "free fonts," and then commercial, 3rd party fonts. A lot of free fonts are just poorly designed, and can cause issues, though they might work fine in some other programs.
I use a font manager, so that I only have ~ 350 fonts installed at one time, and then dynamically install fonts, as needed for Projects. That keeps my machine clean, and if, upon installation, I get a crash/hang, I know that at least one font in that Set is causing it. This helps, as my workstation has ~ 19,000 fonts on it, and some are free fonts, and many are from 3rd parties. Some are also very, very old.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - one common cause for hangs on loading PrPro can be from VST's, used in Audio-editing. If you also have a lot of VST's, you could have two issues with two separate programs, i..e. PS hanging on fonts, and PrPro hanging on VST's. The results would be the same, but the causes could be different. That leads to even more work. For PrPro, also see this ARTICLE. If you get PS launching, but PrPro is still not functioning, drop by the PrPro Forum, and someone can help you there.

How do I set custom frame size in Premiere Pro 5.5 sequence.

I need to set a custom frame size in Premiere Pro 5.5.
I can't edit a preset so how do I create my own?

If you realy feel 'lazy' or have no idea what settings to choose you can drag the clip the into the New Item icon. This will create a matching sequence.

Adjust front panel to screen size and re-position objects on different systems automatically

Hello, i have designed a vi that contains 5 led's placed at the 4 corners and center of the front panel which occupies the entire screen. However, this vi is to be used on different systems having different screen sizes. But on every screen, i'll need the front panel size = screen size and the led's to be placed to the centers and corner of this new screen size automatically without any manual operations and positioning bieng done every time. Will the resize option perform this task completely or do i have to go for some other techniques?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As far as I know, what you want is not easy to do but it is doable but you have to programmatically do it (no Labview setting). Here is an example for only 2 LEDs but I suppose that you will be able to make it work for your other LEDs.
This VI maximizes the front panel and then positions the 2 LEDs in the center and top right corner upon running. The LEDs are positioned according to their own top left corners, not according to their centers.

New pc for AE and Premiere Pro CS5

I'm in process of building a new PC.
I just started working with After Effects and Premiere Pro and my current PC is not really up to all the 1080 footage...
I currently own a E8400 with 8GB DDR2 Ram and some cheap motherboard (Intel DQ35JO) for reference.
I already own 2 x Samsung HD103SJ "Spinpoint" F3 1TB HDDs and a XFX 6850 Black Edition 1Gb which I plan to keep.
I have 2 options:
1)
Intel i5-2500K
Gigabyte P67A-UD3-B3
G.Skill F3-10666CL9Q-16GBXL Quad Kit 16GB (4x4GB) PC10600 DDR3
OCZ Vertex2 E 90GB 25/S300 SSD for system files (windows, program files, etc...)
I can get this for about 570 EUR / 820 USD
2)
Intel i7-980X ot i7-980 (is there a big difference between them performance wise?)
Gigabyte G1 Guerilla
3 x G.Skill F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL 8GB (2x4GB) PC12800 DDRS (for a total of 24GB or RAM)
OCZ Vertex3 120GB 25/S600 for system files (windows, program files, etc..)
I can get this for:
- with i7 980 - 1145 EUR / 1645 USD
- with i7 980X - 1485 EUR / 2133 USD
Will the 2nd option make that much of a difference in AE and Premiere Pro that is worth 2x-3x more money?
Thanks for opinions

Thanks for a fast reply.
Ok, let's say skip the overclocking for now (I used to overclock a ton back when it was Celeron 600 and similar CPU time , but I'm tottaly out of it now...not really on track with the overclocking of new CPUs...it used to be simple back in the days)
I'm ditching the 2500k option.
If I'm not overclocking, I could get a rather cheap motherboard
Asus Sabertooth X58
Intel i7 970/980/980X
16-24GB ram
GTX570
Combination of this is between 1150-1550 EUR / 1600-2250 USD depending on different choices.
Considering I'm not willing to overclock, is there to expect THAT much of a difference with 980X and 24GB ram against 970/980 (they're priced the same) with 16GB ram (considering it is 30% difference in price...will it be 30% faster in AE and Premiere Pro?)
I suppose this is my last question, don't want to bother you too much

Adjust the screen display dynamically for a given screen size and resolutio

Hi All,
Is there a posibility to change the size of a table control dynamically to maximize the screen utilization keeping in mind , the different screen size and resolution. This is to increase the breadth of the table control that there is maximum utilization of screen and which would not produce any horizontal scroll bar in case of small size monitors.Kindly advice.
Best Regards,
Ashwini

There is no such control that you can put into the programming logic to enhance the visual appearance of the table controls or screens. This is taken care of by SAP GUI, which will adjust the display size of the table control according to the screen resolution.

I can only export in flash player, flash professional, and premiere pro

Hi,
I just got the CS5 production DVD's. I only installed AE on my macbook pro osx 10.6.8.
When I go to export my project/composition I only have 3 options, i can only export in flash player, flash professional, and premiere pro.
Where are the options to export as a quicktime movie and all the others?
Do I have to install the entire suite for these options to appear?
If so, why?
Thanks,
Jason
