Updgrading from Premiere 1.5.1 to CS5 - Help?

Hi,
This is my first post on here, so please go easy on me - thanks!
I'm in the process of upgrading from Premiere 1.5.1 to CS5. I've downloaded the trial which unfortunately won't let me try out HDV to test whether my system is up to it!
However, even in DV, i'm having a few playback problems - It stutters on the monitor screen even without effects. Also, I can't seem to get the video to playback through my video camera as I could from the same computer on 1.5.1 when I hit return - Does this feature not work with the trial? Or am I doing something wrong? It captured ok.
I know my system isn't the best, but it's better than the minimum spec required and should at least play DV fine. I have:
AMD Phenom 9500 Quadccore - 6 GB RAM - Just updated to Windows 7 64 bit - Geforce 8400 graphics.
Any advice would be appreciated, especially with getting the video output to work so I can test it before I commit to the full purchase.
Many thanks
Andy

Aha - I've just noticed the little output button under the monitor!! And
i've got it to work!
Any advice on my system would be good though - Is it up to editing HDV? Cheers

Can't import from Premiere Elements 4.0 into CS5.5

Hey guys,
I am trying to open a project that I did a while ago in Premiere Elements 4.0 (Windows) in a new Premiere software (Mac). I tried both Premiere Elements 10 and Premiere CS5.5, and both of them denied my old project, saying it was incompatible. Importing didn't work out either.
Any ideas?
...or is there a place where I can purchase Elements 4.0 for Mac?
Thanks in advance!

You are most welcome, and hope that things work fine.
The porting of PrE and PrPro to Mac, has caused a few issues, as those mentioned above. For some "history," Premiere (precursor to PrPro, not PrElements) WAS X-platform, at least by about Premiere version 5.0 (my archives do not go back to before that version). With Premiere/Premiere Pro 7.0/PrPro 1.0 (really an odd version, with three possible names!!!!), there were ONLY PC versions, so that Premiere 6.5 was the last X-platform version, until PrPro CS 3, when Mac support was added back. This created a "hole" and that has bitten many Mac-users, hence that rec. to Open earlier Projects (the Project file extension also changed, as of PrPro 1.0) in a PC version of CS3 (that first PrPro to go X-platform). THEN, a Mac with PrPro, CS 3, or higher, should be able to handle things.
As PrE did not go to X-platform did not come about, until PrE 9, that leaves a big hole, just like with PrPro before CS 3.
I have also found that newer versions of PrE's Project files (PREL's), will not Open in older versions of PrPro, for example, my PrPro 2.0 (PC only) will not Open PrE 7, 8, 9 or 10 PREL's.
Hoever, my PrPro (PC only) will Open older Premiere Projects from the Mac days, with those same exceptions, listed above. I have worked with many Pr 6.5 Mac Projects in my PrPro 2.0 (PC only), and each worked almost perfectly, with those same exceptions, but even then, PrPro 2.0 is cool, and tells me which Transition, or Effect is not available, and even gives me the name of it, plus the TimeCode, where it's located. In my case, I just replaced a 3rd party, or Mac-only Transition, or Effect, with one in my PC-only PrPro 2.0. Neat eh?
It is convoluted, especially as there were times, when both PrE and PrPro were PC-only. Add in several fairly major changes in the Project files from PrE 2.0 through PrE 4.0, and then the old Premiere to PrPro, and you have a real can-o-worms! And, that does NOT take into considerations changes/additions/deletions of some Transitions, Effects, and things like Instant Movies/Themes.
Now, one possible solution would be to use PrE 4.0 (or later) on a PC, to Export/Share the Timeline to MOV, say with the Animation CODEC (think that is a possibility with QT - might need QT Pro? loaded), and Import that MOV into PrPro on the Mac. If I were doing that, I would edit either very loosely, with no Transitions, so I could edit tightly in PrPro, or edit VERY tightly, knowing that changing things like Transitions would have issues. However, one would need PrE 4.0 (or later) ON a PC. Judging from one of your questions, it appears that the PC with PrE 4.0 is no longer available, so the comment above is probably moot in your case.
Most of all, good luck, and hope that you can find the person, that you need, to help you get things mostly into your PrPro.

Importing RAW from Canon 6D using LR3/Photoshop CS5 - help!

I'm using light room 3 and Photoshop/bridge CS5.
I just got a new camera – a Canon 6D and none of the programs will read the files. It is indicated I need a new plug-in to support the camera – camera raw plug-in/supported cameras indicates a 60 is supported.
I found a support patch and downloaded: DNGConverter_7_3.exe.part and the application file:DNGConverter_7_3 (the application file size is indicated as 0 kB)
Neither Program Will Run under Windows 7 and I still can't open any of the raw files from my Canon 6D camera.
Any Suggestions?

The EOS 6D was first supported in Camera Raw 7.3 and Lightroom 4.3
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
Camera Raw 7.3 is only compatible with Photoshop CS6 and higher. It is not compatible with CS5

CS5 upgrade from premiere pro 1.5

Is it possible to upgrade from premiere pro 1.5 to CS5?

1st, CS5 is no longer sold, but you may still buy CS6 standalone, or a monthly subscription to CC on the Cloud
http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_sl_c reativesuite6.html?promoid=KFPMZ
2nd, even if CS5 was still being sold, Adobe only offers upgrade pricing for one or two versions, so 1.5 would be FAR too old to qualify
-but, as I said above, you have not been able to buy CS5 for a long time, 3 or 4 years
If you are asking will CS5 upen a version 1.5 project file... not likely... too many changes between versions
If you have version 1.5 and can't get it to activate, read below for a special version 2 that you may use
CS2 (and earlier) Activation Server http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l

Long load times normal for Adobe Media Encoder from Premiere CS5?

When I export a sequence from Adobe Premiere CS5 using Adobe Media Encoder, the system freezes for several minutes before giving me the exporter screen. Then, when I've loaded my settings and clicked "export," the system again freezes for several minutes before beginning to encode. I'm using a system with an Intel I7 CPU 930 @ 2.80Ghz 2.80 Ghz., 24 GB of ram, Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit operating system and an Nvidia quadro FX4800 graphics card.. Everything else is fast, but AME is slow. Is this normal? Should I reinstall AME?

Not sure what you mean about the process. From Premiere CS5, I click on "export" which brings up a menu. I select "media" from the menu which brings up the Adobe Media Encoder. I adjust my settings and click "export" from the bottom of the screen to immediately render the Premiere file. Clicking "Queue" would put the program into the AME Queue. Am I missing something? On the slowness issue, looks like I need to reinstall AME. I've been reluctant to do that, partially because I'm using some Matrox hardware and I'll have to reinstall the Matrox softare to populate the matrox settings into the media encoder. Looks like it may be worth it.
Thanks.

Importing from premiere pro cs5 to after effects cs5

hi, can anyone help me with this problem?
im editing some stuff in premiere pro cs5 and when i import it into after effects cs5 for colour correction and other effects all the transitions that i had from premiere will disappear. if someone can guide me step by step to this process it will be very helpful
Thanks,
Randolph Azzopardi

As Mylenium suggests, there are many ways to move information between Premiere Pro and After Effects.They are all outlined on this page: "Working with After Effects and Premiere Pro"
You didn't specify, but I'll assume as he did that you are exporting a Premiere Pro project from After Effects. That works by converting things from native After Effects to their equivalents in Premiere Pro; sometimes there isn't a good equivalent, so the conversion isn't perfect. The same conversion is done as is done for copying and pasting between After Effects and Premiere Pro. There's a set of tables that describe the conversions here.
The way to get perfect fidelity is to either use Dynamic Link (as Mylenium suggested) or render and export a movie from After Effects and import that into Premiere Pro.

How to use VST Plugins from Premiere Pro CS5 in Adobe Audition 3.0 ?

I have tried to use VST plugins from Premiere Pro CS5 into Adobe Audition 3.0, but could not use it.Is any method to use them ?

Unless I'm mistaken, you can't do this at all - Adobe lock all their VST effects so that they only work with the app they were intended for. Which also means, of course, that you can't use Audition VST plugins with any other software either. Since Audition isn't currently in the CS, there isn't even an exception there, I suspect.

Exporting from Premiere CS5

I need some help exporting video files, I know nothing.
I'm using Premiere CS5. I import a 31.5mb (1:35s length) .mov, chop the first 12 seconds, add a Dip to Black on the beginning and end. Then I choose File/Export/Media, choose QuickTime, uncheck the "Export Audio" (I do not want the sound) then click "Export." I end up with a 300mb file. I don't understand why the file is 10x larger than what I started with???
Ultimately, I need to create a video file that will be linked from a PowerPoint presentation.
Any other advice for exporting video from Premiere CS5 would be greatly appreciated! Like what's the best for web?
Thanks!

How can I go from Premiere Pro CS5 to After Effects CS6? (Problem)

Hi,
I am trying to send my clip from Premiere Pro CS5 to After Effects CS6, but when I right click on the clip, I can't even select the option to send it to After Effects. I can see the option to send it to After Effects, but I just cant select it. Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Billy

You can do what you want... only going the other way!
You can import a CS5 Premiere Project (in its entirety
or a selected sequence) into CS6 Ae.
In CS6 Ae:
File>Import>Adobe Premiere Pro Project...
Navigate to your CS5 Premiere project, double-click
and select 'All Sequences', or your preferred sequence.
As Jim points out, Dynamic Linking will only work
between matching versions of Pr and Ae.

Export m4v from Premiere CS5 on mac

Hi,
I am trying to output a .m4v (one single file that has video and audio together) from Premiere Pro CS5 on mac.
Settings I have tired are:
h.264
h.264-bluray
Apple TV
The file will be used on iphone and ipad devices; however, Premiere can only output the file in two tracks (audio and video seperately).
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++
Method I also tried is:
Export my video to .mov
Open .mov at Quick Time Pro
Use Quick Time Pro Save As - Apple TV format.
However, it only provide as large as 960x480 size.
I need a Setting to control my video dimension as well.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++
Anyone can help?
-thanks ahead,
sl

MP4 is the correct container for a file that contains video and audio, yes.
I should clarify that the use of "MP4" vs "M4V" is nearly only a semantics issue. I only brought it up to clarify your question. You could just as easily substitute something nonsensical, like "ZZZ" and it wouldn't change the content of the file, though it might cause some applications trouble recognizing the file.
> why is it that I can use Quicktime Pro (Save As > Apple TV format) to render my .mov to .m4v that contain the audio?
See my comment above about semantics for the real reason. However, the QuickTime application plays fast and loose with a lot of rules. I would never hold it up as an example of what other video applications should or shouldn't do.
Here are Apple's specification pages for iPad, iPad 2, and some models of iPhones. You can see here that H.264 video is accepted in M4V, MP4, and MOV containers.

CS5.5 Exporting From Premiere Question

If I export directly from Premiere Pro CS5.5 (without going through AME) is there a log of it anywhere?
Thanks
Phil

Exporting directly from Premiere is a good idea right? Pretty sure I read on here that it works a little better than through AME? If I just have a single thing to render I usually do it our of Premiere. Other wise if I have a few things I send them to AME and then let it run when I am done for the day.
Thanks

Output file names from Premiere sequences in AME CS5

Why, oh why, does AME not automatically names files according to their sequence names when added from a Premiere project? Instead, it auto-names them sequentially based on the project name. It is extremely annoying and confusing when trying to queue-up a project with many sequences.
Is there a way to change this behavior (other than to simply disable "Increment output file name", which results in multiple targets of the same exact name) ?
I really wish you could have it name the files like the sequence names.

Just to confirm what you're saying: Premiere Pro sequences added to AME from Premiere Pro are not being named properly? Because they should be...
However, Premiere Pro sequences added to AME from AME (File > Add Premiere Pro Sequence) are NOT named for the sequence, and there is no way around this; you get the project name with a serial digit. There is no setting to change this behavior, unfortunately--it is how it is.
I must agree: it is a particularly annoying oversight. How to change this behavior? Like this: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form

Adobe media encoder extremely slow VS export from Premiere,Why?

I am exporting a 30 min AVCHD to QT NTSC DV widescreen. When I sent it to AME it was taking an extremely long time,it said it would take 8 Hours! When I put it to export straight from Premiere it only took about 25 minutes.I have CS5 on my laptop and it did not have the same problem when I sent it to AME, it only took about 20 min. I tried uninstalling CS5 and reinstalling but that didn't work. This is frustrating because I need to export a lot of files in different formats. Anyone know what can be causing this
I also tested this exporting in other formats such as MPEG2 DVD and it has the same issues.

If you queue or export from Premiere the resize will be done by the Mercury Playback Engine (ie the nVidia card does that grunt work) which makes it A LOT faster (like 4-10 times).
If you drop a file into AME directly it's done by the CPU.
Is that what you're doing?
