Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 missing HDV support? at DVinfo.net

Marty Hudzik · February 13th, 2009, 10:54 AM

I just installed the full CS4 production premium package and find that in Premiere CS4 I only have presets for DV and P2 DVCPRO....nothing even remotely mentioning HDV. When I try to setup custom presets I cannot seem to create anything using the HDV settings? Am I missing something? I have not activated it yet but I have 30 days to do so.

Thanks in advance. CS3 had great support for HDV out of the box so I'd expect CS4 to be at at least the same level.

Is this a trial version? The trial does not have support for HDV.

It is not a trial, it is the full version, I entered the serial number and everything. It has not asked me to activate it however.....could this be the cause? On older versions I had to acticate it before I ran it the first time or else it was in 30 day trial mode. I'll see what I can figure out here.

Thanks.

Marty, I have both CS3 and CS4 installed.

My recollection is that CS4 installed in a very similar manner to CS3. It began in trial mode, asked if I had a serial and wanted to activate - once I did some extra stuff got installed (including HDV functionality). I then had all the same presets etc that I see in CS3.

It sounds like that second phase of the install hasn't happened for you.

I could be wrong, but my impression is that there isn't a separate trial version - the program just runs with reduced functionality until you activate.

Marty, CS4 did not ask me to activate either (full version on DVD, no trials). It apparently did so upon installation without prompt. I don't like that, but fortunately deactivating is the easiest of any software I've used.
