Starting to Shoot HD will PC Handle in Premiere

I've just joined the 21st century by switching to HD camcorders for a project. The live production is captured from three camera angles and a sequence is created where we fade and cut between the three video tracks. I have been fine capturing in 480i and importing as .avi in previous years. When I bought my PC, I found the most affordable windows 7 64 bit machine I could find that met the recommended specs for CS6. Core i7, 900 lines, 4 GB RAM. I did not realize that the HP 8440p, will only handle a maximum of 8 GB RAM which is frustrating as I thought 64 bit OS machines would take unlimited RAM. Here are my questions for the experts.
Can I get away with 4GB RAM for 3 HD video tracks? If not, am I safe if I upgrade to the maximum 8GB RAM.
Also my Canon camcorders will capture AVCHD or MP4, should I go with MP4 to avoid taxing the system, or will AVCHD do well with 4GB RAM/ 8 GB RAM i7?
Lastly, we are still just making DVDs, but I may want a Blu Ray "print" to maybe make Blu Ray copies of the project in the future, is there a way to simultaneously cut sequences that can easily be made into DVD or Blu Ray. I've never used premiere or encore with HD assets before, so I appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

Your graphics card is limited severely in its capabilities. A new much bigger card with more memory of its own will help considerably.

The link is to the videoguys website, they are specialists in making NLE systems and their DIY guides show component kit that works.
If at some stage you wish to update your PC then take their DIY guide to your local PC shop and ask them to add motherboard, CPU, RAM and GPU to match the guide.
I am in the UK and have never used them to supply anything but their website is a mine of useful information.

Will X handle 4k from a GH4?

I'm a video pro and long-time FCP7 user and currently limping along with my HMC-150 AVCHD camcorder. But the writing's on the wall that 4k is the next big thang that the mfgr's are pushing. So, if I buy a Panasonic GH4 and shoot 4k will I be able to edit it with FCP7? iMovie? X? Have most pros already made the transition to X? Will X mark the 4k spot? Will my Mac Pro dual 2.8 be enough macheen to crunch through the encoding?

fundamentally, the trick lies in 'optimized/proxy' and a fast ext. drive (here: my <100€-raid0) ..

I upgraded from 3.6.13 to Beta 4.0 and now Firefox will not open at all I tried to uninstall to start again but it will not uninstall either it does nothing.

I uninstalled Beta 4 and re-installed 3.6.13 now Firefox will not open at all I tried to uninstall to start again but it will not uninstall either it does nothing, I have been using Firefox for a long time but cannot resolve this problem can anyone help and give me a solution please. As I use Firefox as my web browser it is very frustrating.
The fact it will not uninstall appears to be something completely new as nobody I know who uses Firefox has ever encountered this in the past.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

My 6th generation nano isn't recognized by my computer. When I plug it in an error message pops up, which says "USB Device Not Recognized". Does anyone know how to start trouble shooting this. I updated both windows and iTunes.

I have an app that appeared to need to be updated. I clicked to update three days ago. It has started to update and will not finish. How can I delete the app while its in the middle of updating?

Locked on an update can mean a couple of different things. So there are a number of things to try, but start with these.
If you have a "waiting" icon, try tapping on the icon and see if you can pause the update/download. Of it pauses, tap on it again and see if it will resume.
Try holding down on the icon until all of the icons on the screen wiggle. If the X to delete pops up on the waiting/stalled app - tap the X to delete the app. Tao,the home button and the apps will stop wiggling.
You can also try this and see if the downloads will resume. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

When pulling down a long pulldown menu, the menu, instead of starting a new row, will extend past the bottom and behind the browser so that I can't navigate to an item that's below/behind the screen.

When pulling down a long pulldown menu, the menu, instead of starting a new row, will extend past the bottom and behind the browser so that I can't navigate to an item that's below/behind the screen. FF should be making a second row for these long pulldown menus, right?

Nope, there is no second row. There should be a scroll arrow "button" at the bottom and the top of that drop-down to allow you scroll, or you can use the scroll wheel on the mouse scroll further down (or back up).

Hi it's puzzled of Evesham....I didn't ask the question but have experienced exactly the same. I switched the computer on and it went straight to safe mode

One eight core xserve, will it handle what I need it to do?

My new xserve specs are eight cores @ 2 ghz, 4 gig ram, 2 TB raid 5.
I will have 150 macbook clients, that will not be on netboot. I want to store user home folders, and authenticate. Will this server be able to handle ichat and ical servers for about 20 users? Do I need another server for just ichat and ical or will one handle authentication, home folder storage, ichat(20 users), and ical (20 users)? Apple salesman says that he suggests another just for ichat/ical, but I have been told that I can get away with just one.
I eventually want to get another for backup directory server and can migrate ical/ichat but would like to put it off until later.
Thanks for help on this.

Try posting your question in the Xserve forum (http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=854). Users there will be more knowledgeable about your question.

I updated my mac's OS to Yosemite and now my eye drop tool will NOT work inside premiere pro. Can anyone help me fix this issue?

The eyedropper tool for selecting colors to key out or to fill text will not work inside premiere pro, this error started when I updated my mac os to yosemite.

Hi Transportation,
Does the error occur in OS X 10.9? If not, why not remain at OS X 10.9? Is it necessary to run OS X 10.10?
The general rule of thumb is that when you are running software that is no longer tested or supported on a new operating system, you have to prepare for anomalies like this. You may want to install a separate bootable hard drive with OS X 10.9 on it so you can continue running that software more reliably.
Hope that helps,
Kevin

Hi. I have just started using Adobe Photo Elements 11 and Adobe Premiere Elements 11. I have many pictures in my photo gallery that I would like to use in a project that I am working on. When I opened the photo gallery it said I could not use the photo gallery because it has not been updated. Can someone please help me with this...let me know how to do this...or...Thank you,

BNN, even though I understand what KT is saying, your thought resonates with mine. When it comes to building and maintaining my website, I see myself more as a photographer than as a web designer. Hence, even though Apple may not be actively developing (and we are guessing on this one, arent we) iWeb, the existing functionality should do plenty of good to me for next couple years at least.
That said, they released a point update a few days back and with the whole cloud thing building momentum and mobile me going for free, why would Apple want to pull the plug on such a fantastic product?

The .prel files will not load into premiere elements 13 and says that there is a missing codec. This is a school's site llicense that we've used for more thatn a month.

Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 (assumed 64 bit).
First..
1. Have you updated from 13 to the 13.1 Update using an opened project's Help Menu/Update. If not, please do so.
2. Do the problems exist if you disable the antivirus and firewall(s)?
3. Are you running the program as Administrator? Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer?
4. Have you refreshed the Online Services using Premiere Elements Editor Edit Menu/Preferences/Web Sharing?
5. Have you updated the Adobe Application Manager?
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773
6.Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
7. Lots more we could go through such as deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole
13.0 Folder in which it exists.
But, I think that you have enough things going on here to warrant an uninstall, free ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts) and then reinstall with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.

If the problems persist after all that then we will adjust to additional troubleshooting maneuvers.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.
