Setting format in new Premier Pro

I recently downloaded the trial version of Premier Pro CC and noticed in setting up a project it never required input for file size (1280 x 720, etc.). Is that something "new" or did I miss a step? Thanks.

Despite the good advices given...it is a good idea to know the format and size of your video assets and to be able to create a Sequence to match it manually instead of via "New Item' method.
When one is creating other assets in Photo Shop or AE for example...knowing the editing project dimension is important.
I think its fundamental right through to exporting actually.

How do I set up my new Macbook Pro to associate with my Apple ID so I can download purchased music?

How do I set up my new Macbook Pro to associate with my Apple ID so I can download purchased music?
Under 'Manage Devices' it only lists my iPhone and iMac. I've bought stuff on my new Macbook Pro using my Apple ID, but I can't find music I previously purchased using the iMac.

Oh, wait, I've found it. Silly me!

How do I set up my new Macbook Pro without using the annoying Voiceover?

How do I set up my new MacBook Pro without using the annoying Voiceover? I cannot get it to work right; it seems to get stuck and repeats the same thing over and over. It is driving me nuts! Is there a way to begin the setup process without using the Voiceover system? I am a new convert from a PC and I thought a Mac was supposed to be "intuitive!"
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

There is no good reason to register your Mac anyway.
You can opt out of the setup process and registration by pressing Command (Apple key) and the "Q" key.
The registration process requires you to divulge a lot of unnecessary information.

Set up a new macbook pro without using voice over

How do I set up a new MacBook Pro without using Voice Over. I can't get past the initial Welcome screen. The VO commands do not work as indicated in the forced tutorial.

Just click the Next and or Continue button. Voice over only starts shortly after you get to one of those screens and you wait to long to input something or click on an option and then Next or Continue. I think at the bottom of the screen there is an option to turn off the Voice over.

What is the best way to set up my new Mac Pro?

Not wanting to screw up in a process I've not done with a brand new machine before, I'm looking for feedback on my plan for setting my new Mac Pro next week...
The physical plan is this:
For RAM, I have four 2GB SDRAM's plus the supplied six 1GB modules. My plan here is to install the 2GB rams into the first four slots and install four of the 1GB modules into the remaining four slots for a total of 12GB's.
When the cost for 4GB modules gets down to reasonable, I'll buy four of them and bump the current rams down the line which will then give me a total of 24 gigs where I'll stay.
For my hard drives, I'm installing a 160GB Intel X25-M into the first drive bay
http://www.intel.com/design/flash/nand/mainstream/index.htm
using one of MaxUpgrades' 'MaxConnects' kits. I will use this drive for the operating system software and my applications and their libraries.
Next, into the remaining three drive bays, I am installing three 300GB WD Velociraptors. Mine are the pre-'backplane ready' versions:
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?DriveID=459
so I have bought these sleds for them...
http://www.maxupgrades.com/istore/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_i d=180
I own one of Sonnet's Tempo SATA E4P cards
http://www.sonnettech.com/product/temposatae4p.html
which, thanks to this forum, I now understand, with the correct firmware installed, function well so I will install it and be able to establish hardware RAID. I will create a RAID 0 set with the three Velociraptors and use it to store all of my data files.
Backup will happen on a 1TB WD 'Caviar Black' external drive connected through one of the Sonnet card's external eSATA ports and using the OS 'Time Machine' software.
And that's the physical plan. My question is about setting things up. The physical installation part is straight forward and I don't expect any difficulties but I'm wondering what is the best way to install the operating system.
Do I take a first step keeping the supplied hard drive installed, install the solid state drive into the next drive bay and then transfer the contents from the supplied drive onto the SSD or do I do the complete physical installation process and do a 'C' drive start up and install the OS that way?
And, do you have any tips/suggestions on setting up the RAID 0 set?
thanks for the help. I want to do this right.
JQ

oh mighty Hatter, I knew you'd have helpful guidance to offer! And thank you. You've confirmed my anxieties about the Sonnet card; kind of a 'too much, too quickly' sort of thing. And it's not that Sonnet's not a good company. Just everything to do with new technologies and the growth curve we all, manufacturers and users, go through when they come out. And, for sure, the new Mac Pro's are new technology; the single biggest forward leap in Apple's top-of-the-line machines for some time far as I can tell. Just reading at Intel's website about the Nehalem's is a joy!
So, I will proceed now with everything except for the controller card, leaving that 'til later. In the meantime, I think I'll just happily run with the four hard drives all running independently. No software RAID. I know just those, the SSD boot drive plus Velociraptor trio's going inside of a 2.66ghz 8-core Nehalem Mac Pro is going to be a working pleasure. Heck, this way, I'll get settled in and used to the machine's speed, have a great time doing so and then, in however many months, I can jump into spending another chunk of money on an excellent RAID card, RAID card's dear Barefeats will have tested and reviewed for us, set up my RAID 0 set and head of to those new races watching my computer leap for joy! Could be that, by then, the cost of Intel 160GB X25-M's will have dropped enough that I can afford to go for a second and have a two SSD RAID 0 boot drive... Yummy!
Thanks for the help. Like I say, I knew there was useful guidance hanging on some limb within your personal kit, (otherwise referred to as your mind)!
Interesting to read about the problems people have had with Sonnet's 2.17 update in PPC's... In this computer, my PowerMac G5 dual 2.7ghz, I have a Sonnet 'Tempo Sata X4P' controller card. I downloaded and installed 2.17 and got the same troubles; no cut, no paste, no 'drag and drop' etc. It was miserable.
Mine, fortunately, magically corrected after running the 'permissions verify and correct' process in Disc Utility and, after a restart, all was back to almost normal but for one exception; the Sonnet card was no longer present or functioning including the four eSATA ports out the back. (I ran Tech Tools Pro 5's repair suites first but, and who knows why, it didn't correct the problem...) This one was absolutely in the 'who knows what the f_'s going on and why it disappeared but did' class.
Oh, the other remnant is that, when the computer goes into sleep, after about five minutes, the fans rev up, and up, and the computer's frozen; only access is to do a forced shutdown pressing and holding the power button, so I've had to adopt a 'shut down whenever leaving it for more than fifteen minutes' approach to this dear friend. Once I've fully moved into and established my new one (which should arrive today, by the way... Yippeee!!! Can't wait!), I'll do a complete restoration on this one including taking out the Sonnet card. Usually, I sell my old Pro's but, this time, I'm going to keep this one as a back up and just general second computer for times I might need it. It has been such a great and dependable machine. Keeping it seems the right thing to do.
thanks Hatter. I'll let you know how things go, including what happens with the SSD. I don't have speed test software so I won't be able to track it's performance like that guy in the post you gave me did...

New Premier Pro User Introduction and Comments

Just wanted to introduce myself as I plan to be a frequent reader and hopefully contributor to this forum and in the hope that a few of the comments below will be useful.
First, to show my age, I began video editing back in the early 1990's with the Amiga and the Video Toaster. Later I began editing in Vegas Pro and Edius. In 2007 I largely left the PC platform for Macs, and almost immediately purchaed Final Cut Pro which I have used as my NLE on an eight core (2.8 GHz) 3.1 Mac Pro equipped with a 2 TB Raid 0 array of SATA drives as well as an external Raid 5 8TB SATA system for backups. Although video editing is just a hobby for me, I am serious about it and feel fairly competent in FCP.
With the arrival of the MPE and 64-bit support for Adobe's Premier Pro, I was attracte to trying this editing package which I had obtained in a purchase of the Production Premium package for the Mac. When I received the PP package a few months ago, I installed all the software and briefly tried PP and the other software components in the package but I did not do any serious projects with PP at that time.
Recently, I was involved in video recording a three camera shoot of a piano concert given in my home by my pinao teacher. We used two HDV cameras and my Canon 5D Mark II for the video and an Edirol R-09HR recorder optimally placed for recroding my Yamaha grand piano. I wanted to do a multicamera edit of the one hour concert, but I found this possible but very contorted to do in FCP (with the assistance of PlurarEyes for synching the externally recorded audio with the video). It was at that point that I became serious about learning and using PP CS5.
To get into PP CS5 in the fastest possible manner, I purchased the Learn by Video series on PP CS5 presented by Maxim Jago and Jan Ozer. I feel this is an outstnading video tutorial on using PP CS5. I also decided to upgrade the video card in my Mac Pro 3.1 from the Ati 2600XT card (which does not support the MPE with CUDA) with the nVidia GTX 285 which does. I was able to purchase a new overclocked GTX 285 on eBAy and installed it in my Mac Pro. I also purchsed PluralEyes for PP for synching the external audio in PP.
My experience with this rather large multi-camera project hs been excellent. Not one crash in many hours of work on the project! The GTX 285 easily handles rela time playback with no dropped frames in the timeline. I am impressed with the ease of doing a multi-camera edit in PP CS5 and in general very pleased iwth the program. The most difficult thing I have had to adjust to is the difference between PP CS5 and FCP in terms of getting video and audio into the timeline where I want it in PP. It's not difficult to do, but just sufficiently different that I found the PP CS5 video tutorials that I had purchased very useful in learning how to move video and audio around and patch to precise locations in PP.
Well, enough for now. I have much yet to do to complete this multicamera project, but I have been actively monitoring this forum for months now and simply wanted to say thanks for all I have learned here as well as to just say "hello".
Tom

just took me a while to find it as I don't think I have ever even visited the Video Lounge.
Tom,
Now that you have discovered our "little secret," do not be a stranger. We're a pretty loose, but friendly crew around the forum - both in the Lounge and out in the technical product forum.
Though some technical "stuff" does get posted here, one is usually better off in the product forum, as more users will see the post. Now, "technical" is a slightly abstract term. We've had mic. options explored here, camera options, and of course snakes. When the technical aspect gets to Adobe products, then the main fora are obviously the best locations.
There is also the Hardware sub-forum, and it's great for technical discussions on hardware. Most of that discussion revolves around using Adobe products on said computer, but a lot is general computer talk and questions.
If the discussion gets to authoring DVD/BD, then the Encore Forum is the right place, even though Encore now only ships with PrPro. One reason to break things off there is that some Encore gurus do not hang out here. Considering your audio background, one such individual is Neil Wilkes, the Encore audio-guru. He seldom shows up in the PrPro fora, but is usually not that far away in the Encore forum.
That's just a little breakdown of these fora.
Enjoy PrPro, and thanks for the intro and the thoughts,
Hunt

Best way to set up a new MAC PRO

I am a free lancer who has just taken the (huge) step to setting up a small graphics/final cut studio in my apartment (NYC). The core of my operation is a brand new MAC PRO. 3 questions:
1. What is the best physical environment for the new system in terms of temperature, dust, and access to the back of the tower? I am planning on using Metro Shelving to put the tower on.
2. I ordered a 1 terabyte hd. What is the best way to partition a hd this large?
3. So far I have only had experience setting up laptops purchased off the shelf. The tower was "made to order", what are decisions that need to be made when you are setting up the system for the first time?
Any other words of wisdom on the care and feeding of the new tower would be greatly appreciated!

You can skip on the Apple Pro RAID card. Pick up a 3rd party card later.
I would pick up three of the above F1s for $150 ea. and can be used in RAID using Apple software, works fine.
I would have saved $$ and skipped the 1TB drive. Great for Time Machine and backups.
Why use external drives for media if you can have native SATA, use those for backup too.
When you have more drives you can clone your system and files as needed. One thing I would do now is make a clone of your system to one of your FireWire drives that you can boot from and use to restore to another drive later.
You may as well partition the new drive so you can isolate the system and apps if you want, and before the files fragment the drive more than it is so you can resize and create partitions if it helps.
I have only used mirrors a couple times, I find I'd rather put two or more drives to separate uses, and it isn't a replacement for backups.
There are some RAID5/6 3rd party external controllers that can drive up to 4 x 5-drive cases (Port Multiplier).

Error message on set up on new Macbook pro

I just bought a new Macbook Pro and I am trying to install my Cs3 on it. Yes, a few versions behind
I had to transfer the set-up files from the DVD to a usb key, because the new macbook doesn't have a DVD drive.
I did this, initialized the set up, and it just gave me an error that said 'setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe customer support'
So is there another way to do this? It never asked for my serial number, or I guess it is a 'coupon code' which I obtained when I bought it during school. Can I use the migration assistant instead?
Thanks!!

Copy the contents of the USB drive on your hard disk and run the installer from the hard disk. You will need the serial number for installation though. Refer to this document to find your serial number.
Thanks

I am setting up my new MBP Pro with Retina with Time MACHINE

Brand new MBP Pro with Retina I have an existing wireless network do not have an ethernet connection to plug the time machine into. Its int the attic
Having issues with this.
Would love some simple step by step directions
When I tried to set it up it wanted to create a new network. Don't want that. I want to be in the existing network.
Thanks in advance

If you want to back up a computer running Yosemite just at this point in time.. I would buy a USB drive and plug it into the laptop and use that as the backup target..
It is simple and is likely to work just fine.. you can leave the USB unplugged and just do the backup once every few days.. when you plug the drive in.. a small 2.5" 2TB will self power from the USB on the Mac and is fast and very convenient.
I suggest that only because it is so much harder to get Yosemite to work on the TC.. and if you have it plugged in remotely.. it can be most unreliable.
A tech cannot really help.. this is an OS problem.. he can set it up to run perfectly and it will fail the next day. Apple need to come out with some fixes.
For now.. if you want to have a go.. please just go and plug the TC into your router. Use ethernet.. plug it WAN port of the TC to the LAN port of the router.
WAN on TC..
Read the apple setup info.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/0/MA428/en_US/TimeCapsule_SetupGuide.pdf
Run the setup wizard in the airport utility.. on iOS device like ipad is often better than computer running Yosemite..
It should pretty well set itself up.. you can then setup Time Machine.. on the computer which again should be able to find and use the TC without issues..
Tell us if you run into trouble and we can give specific help.
