Will ATI Radeon HD 5800 card work with Premier Pro CS5 Mercury engine?

Hi There:
I've been using Premeier Elements 7 for the last 2 years and am about to buy Premeier Pro CS5. But having read the video card requirements I'm confused.
Will my video card work with PP CS5 and the Mercury playback engine? My card is the ATI Radeon HD 5800 with 1 gig memory?
The dealer specifically sold me that 18 months ago so I would be able to move to Premiere Pro with no problem. I have an Intel Core 17 with 10 gigs of ram and a great ASUS motherboard.
Thanks,
Rudy

Hi Harm:
Thanks for the reply. I checked my RAM and in fact it is 12 gigs. I got it put in 18 months ago when I bought the system. I had to use Windows XP back then. Anyway, I now need to change to Windows 7 and Premiere Pro.
I had no idea back then that I was buy the wrong video card for Premiere Pro.
I am not familiar with the terms you and the other two respondants have used in your replies, and I have no idea what it means that my system will run 10 times slower than if I had a NVIDIA, whatever it means it sounds bad. Which is really too bad because I spent a small fortune buying one of the fastest card available at the time.
What do you suggest I now do?
1) Just use my system as is? It sounds like my performance will be terrible, so should I really go this route? I will be editing MPG2 codec from a Canon XF100 shot at 50 mbps.
2) Should I try to sell off my ATI card and buy one of the recommended cards?
3) Should I just go to the Sony Vega Pro systems?
Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Rudy

  • Will other non-supported video cards work with premiere pro?

    I have some older Dell Optiplex 755 and 760's that have limited space for graphics cards.  Most everything that I find that will fit or I can afford are not on the Premiere Pro system requirements list of supported cards.  Will others work?

    Initial benchmark results with AMD cards show they are about two times slower than equally priced nVidia cards.
    From: Tweakers Page - What video card to use?
    To say that one solution is 2X faster across the board on comparably spec'ed cards would be incorrect.
    Based on ...???
    AMD and Intel cards used with the perpetual license are at least 10 x slower than nVidia cards when hardware MPE is turned on.

  • Can a PC ATI X1600 XT AGP card work with my MDD..

    Can a PC ATI X1600 XT AGP card work with my MDD?

    I have a friend that made the mistake of buying a (new) non-Mac edition ATI card. Not the card you've specified, this was a few years ago, but everything worked for him, with OSX. His biggest issue was the loss of the ADC connection on the card, getting DVI connectors only instead. That means a trip to Apple to get an ADC-DVI converter, mine was about £100 for my second display. My friend payed slightly less. At the end of the day, it would have been cheaper for him to pay the £30 extra for the Mac edition.

    it's worthwhile considering the VSL Special Edition, but check whether anyone else is running it on macbook, my iMac (also 4GB) is very happy with it, and some of the sounds are wonderful.

  • How to work with Premiere Pro cs5.5 and After Effects cs5 together?

    I have edited my movie in premiere pro cs5.5 and made the rough cut. In premiere, i have edited the video, put in soundtrack and foley. Now, i need to add muzzle flashes & blood splatters in some scenes and final color correction using After Effects cs5.
    When i import the premiere project in AE and make the changes, and then i export it back as premiere project. When i open this prmiere project, it shows vaious kind of errors and no changes are retained that i did in AE. Also, when i import the premiere project (which has 4 different sequences) in AE, all the media that has been imported in the premiere project also opens in AE making it difficult to organize the media.
    How should i work now so that i add vfx and color correction using AE cs5?
    I thought of exporting the video from Premiere pro and then open the video in AE and add vfx to some scenes and color correction to the full video and render it out again. But, this is the first time i am using AE and i am not sure if this is the best way. PLEASE HELP.
    Or, i could import the whole project in AE, add vfx, do color correction AND then export to video from AE. But i think, it will be better if i export the video from Premiere as it has loads of options to choose from while exporting to a movie.
    The dynamic link does not work between Premiere Pro Cs5.5 and After Effects cs5. Even if it does, its not working on my pc.
    All the footage is in HD and i want the final result in best quality HD too. PLEASE Help!

    If you are working between After Effects and Premiere Pro but with versions that are not the same number, you need to just work with movies rendered and exported as intermediate, lossless files.
    Dynamic Link only works between After Effects and Premiere Pro of the same version number, and only when they are installed as part of the same suite.

  • Will X1650XT 512MB AGP Video Card work with 865PE MS-6728?

    Hi,
    My video card is fried, so I'm thinking of upgrading to a HIS X1650XT AGP 512MB video card. I read somewhere that some motherboards have issues with 512MB video cards. Is this true? I can't find anymore info on whether this motherboard will support this video card.
    http://www.hisdigital.com/html/product_ov.php?id=276&view=yes
    Anyone have any input?
    Thanks!

    No need to get hostile, I didn't say you were an idiot.  Though continuing to make uninformed statements might get you there....

    The video cards need at least 30A to make the card run properly.  That's pretty damn easy to understand how the last PSU was the problem.
    Actually, it doesn't.  The 30A figure cited by the manufacturer is a worse case scenario for +12V needs of the entire system + the graphics card.  The X1650XT doesn't even need an auxillary PCI Express power connector and can be powered entirely through the PCI Express slot, which supports a maximum of 75W.
    If you need further proof of this, for CrossFire setups the manufacturer cites a figure of 38A on the +12V rail.  If one card requires 30A, how could two cards require only 8A (96W) more than one?  The same requirements are stated for X1950XT (30A single and 38A Crossfire), so its a highly generic target that attempts to account for an entire range of power supply rating methods and total system power demands.
    Here are total power consumption measurements of whole systems used in various X1650XT tests:
    Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme X6800 @ 2.93 GHz
    Corsair TWIN2X2048-8500C4
    Western Digital 150GB 10K Raptor
    Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Value
    AMD ATI Radeon X1650 XT
    Total system power under 3D load = 206 Watts MAX
    AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+
    2GB Crucial PC-4000
    Western Digital 74GB 10K Raptor
    AMD ATI Radeon X1650 XT
    Total system power under 3D load = 192 Watts MAX (only 66W higher for 2 x X1650XT in CrossFire)
    Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme X6800 (2.93GHz/4MB)
    Seagate 7200.7 160GB SATA
    Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 4-4-4-12 (1GB x 2)
    AMD ATI Radeon X1650 XT
    Total system power under 3D load = 182 Watts MAX
    Those are figures for TOTAL system power needs, not the graphics card itself.  Here are figures just for the X1650XT from X-bit Labs:
    55.2 Watts @ full load
    That's not more than 5A MAX from the +12V rail.  Even assuming a 20% VRM loss, gets us to around 6A MAX.
    As anyone can plainly see, the manufacturer's stated requirement of 30A is a hugely overinflated number to help people avoid purchasing a power supply like this because they are looking only at hugely inflated total power.
    Given that your X1650XT could not possibly require more than 6A of 12V+ power, and high-end systems using overclocked Dual Core Extreme don't even consume more than around 250W TOTAL (all components combined, factoring VRM loss), the evidence is now overwhelming and beyond dispute that your previous power supply was more than adequate and that inadequate power was never the cause of your problem.  It could have been defective, but that isn't the same as having inadequate power.

  • Does Premiere Pro CS5 mercury engine work with my imac 27 inch?

    I have a 27 inch imac that I bought 4 months ago.   Yesterday I upgraded my Creative Suite Production Premium CS4 to CS5.   It costs a lot more do to that when you live in Japan (about $300  more).  I installed it all and to my disappoinment I can't access PPro's  new mercury engine on 64 bit.  I read the specs and I thought my  computer is capable.  Can somebody please tell me if my specs are good?   imac is a total disappoinment in that they will not replace any  parts!!!   I have two very expensive items (imac 27 inch and Adobe  CS5).  Can I not utilize the mercury engine in P PRo?  I will be so sad  if that is the case.   I've called apple and they say they won't change  the graphic card or CPU if those are my problems. Which means I'll have  two great things, my new imac and new Adobe soft and I can't use them  together.
    Anyways, here are my specs.  I hope someone can shed  some light on this matter for me.  I'm hoping I just don't have my PP settings right.  Thanks in advance!

      Thank you kindly for your reply.  I figured I was only able to use software only MPE as that is why it is all greyed out in my preferences.  I was hoping I had not done something simple that would fix the issue.
    So after reading a lot on here about MPE my question is this:
    Is soft only MPE 64 bit?  Is it still significantly better than my CS4 P.Pro that I had or did I just waste a crap of money on the upgrade?  What does soft only MPE have to offer?  so far my editing doesn't really seem to be much faster but I haven't put it to test yet. And of course, the render line is always red and not yellow like all those fantastic videos show when they're bragging about how cool Hardware accelerated MPE is.
    If feel like I got robbed.
    Thanks for your time.
    Oh, one more thing.  In the near future, "could" a driver update for my ATI Radeon HD 4850 possibly fix this issue?  imacs will NOT replace CPU or GPU.  For that, I am really, really annoyed.  The main reason I bought this computer with the specs was to use Adobe at its best.

  • Need info about graphics card supported with pre pro cs5

    Hi,
    I checked one information about supported graphics card  about pre pro cs5 on aodbe.com,
    http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/search_result.html?manuSearchVar=1&modelSearchVar=0 &supportSearchVar=0&brand=&dataFormat=&version=CS5&device=graphic&format=&buttonSubmit=
    Under SUPPORT column it is mentioned for ATI and NVIDIA "Legacy support" and "Full support".
    What is the difference in "Legacy support" and "Full support"?
    I am not able to understand
    Vinay

    Premiere will use just about any graphics card to write to the screen so you may see what you are doing
    For hardware MPE you must use a specific nVidia card... or a non-supported nVidia card with a small hack

  • Switching tabs while working with Premiere Pro CS5

    Hello there.
    I am currently working with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and I notice that when I'm reproducing/previewing the timeline or am recording, for example, an audio track, everytime I switch tabs (switch to another window or to desktop), in this case the recording stops. I've searched around Preferences and in help files and I cannot find an option to make Premiere continue what he's doing despite me changing windows. Is this even possible? It would be very helpful.
    Cheers!

    >Is this even possible?
    No... PPro must have full control of the computer to work... shift to another program and PPro stops

  • HT3235 Will generic DVI to VGA adapter work with Macbook Pro (Early 2008 Model)??

    I have a 15" MacBook Pro (Early 2008 model).  I lost the Apple DVI to VGA adapter for use with my projector, and it appears this older model is no longer available.  Will a generic DVI/VGA adapter, from Best Buy for example, work?  I wasn't sure if there was anything specific to the Apple adapter?  I am supposed to give a lecture in 2 days and can't find my adapter!  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Yes it will, assuming that you do not have a display like the 30" Apple Cinema Display that requires dual-link DVI.

  • Will any branded expresscard USB3.0 work with 17" PRO

    This is something i had researched a while back and found that the answer was no, unless i wanted to go with lacie's proprietry driver or sonnetts card which is a little more than i would want to pay considering the price of incompatible cards. Now that apple have released their new lineup i assume they'll have native drivers. My question is, will this open the old macbooks up to a wider range of usb3 expresscards.
    Thank you.

    Your reasoning is valid but it does not follow that it will be that case.  I did have a conversation with a member of the technical stall at OWC regarding USB3 express cards and they related to me that data transfer rates were increased but not up the the levels USB3 is capable of.  No precise numerical values were quoted to me.
    Ciao.

  • Using After Effects with Premier Pro CS5

    I’m trying to add some text effects over my video, but I’m really stuck right now getting After Effects and Adobe Premier to work together.
    From the tutorials I’ve watched online, I’ve been trying to create a dynamic link between the two programs so I could easily create texts and other effects in AE that immediately show up on my timeline in Premier.  I've been able to create texts, but whatever I create in AE is not showing up on the Premier timeline.  Am I missing a step?  Also, when I load up my sequence into AE, all of the color correcting that I’ve done with Looks inside Premier goes away, and the clips appear as they did right out of the camera.
    Any suggestions would really help.
    Thank you.

    You are seeing normal behavior. When you select footage in a sequence and create an AE comp from that footage the raw footage is used. Once you save the AE project the comp now replaces the footage.

  • Does anyone know if the NVIDIA GTX 680 is compatible with Premier Pro 6?

    I am looking for a graphics card to utilize the mercury graphics engine.  Does anyone know if the GTX 680 works with Premier Pro 6?

    Bill,
    If I recall correctly, the only system difference between
    the two scores was 24GB RAM @#1 instead of 12GB @#17.
    It came as something of a surprise that doubling the RAM
    was able to knock down MPEG-2 encoding by more than 50%.
    I also seem to recall that once this fact was known... most everyone
    doubled their RAM within a couple of weeks resulting in my stay
    at the top of the list being pretty brief!
