Adobe Premiere & Premiere Pro discussions from 2006

You should be able to select the language during setup. It is one of the first screens to appear.

Ariel Fleischer · August 27th, 2006, 07:59 AM

Really?

Because in my case it just asked me to choose the language for the License Agreement and I did chose German... but for the interface language it didn't even ask. Is there any way to change the language afterwards?

Edit: Got it! I was just running the wrong Installer. There were many on the CD!

Thanks a lot!

Given the following statistics, how well would this system run Premier Pro 2.0 in your opinion?

- Pentium D dual core 2.66Ghz
- 1gig of DDR2 ram (two 512 sticks for dual channel hotness)
- DVD read/writer
- 256 meg onboard video card (yes, its shared)

What if I double the ram and add a good video card?

What about running FCP on this system (if it was loaded with OSX of course)?

Paul Cuoco · August 28th, 2006, 11:39 AM

The system you have spec'd would run OK. Shared video graphics are terrible for video work, though. Absolutely add a good video card. I've used both nVida and ATI and had good results, so I'll leave thata discussion to others. It's really essential for either Premiere or FCP, especially if you plan on doing any HD. In fact the MacBooks that have shared video aren't "approved" to even run FCP for this reason.

Ram's OK, but more ram can never hurt.

Hey, When every Im watching shows on tv (for example mtv cribs) they do a cool morph transition, and I have no idea how to do it in premiere pro 2.0. Anyone know? thanks -Nick

Hello,

Has any of you tried using Decklink HD Extreme with Adobe Premiere Pro? I have heard that there are some problems, but no specifics.

I would be grateful for any information.

Best regards

Enrique Galvis · August 30th, 2006, 08:22 AM

I don't know if there is a plug in for Ppro with this but "Winmorph" does an excellent job as a stand alone or premiere 6.x plug-in and I think it also works under Vegas.
Best of all is a freebie.

Matt Vanecek · August 30th, 2006, 10:29 AM

For those of you who have upgraded to PPro 2.0 from 1.5.x, does the Surcode license still work with 2.0? I have PPro 1.5 and the Surcode license, and I really don't want to have to shell out another chunk o' change just because I upgraded PPro..

Thanks,
Matt

A while ago one of the websites put the product launch of the Adobe Suite online in a 4 part quicktime series, they showed the Adobe guys going through all the products and the interworkings of each.

Does anyone have this bookmarked? I have been looking for it all morning and can't find it at all.

Thanks in advance,
Miguel

Darn - I thought that I checked their site... that's what I was looking for thanks!

When I try to export movie... no matter what option I select I always get "error compiling movie. Unknown error." When I select Cineform codec I get a window with a caution sign and an OK button, nothing else. When I select Export to Tape, it stops rendering about one tenth of the way into it and simply returns to the "render and export" window with no warning sign. When I use Adobe Media Encoder I get "Adobe Premiere Pro failed to return a video frame. Cancelling the operation." I've tried all the fixes (although most have been for 1.5 and not 2.0) and I'm out of options. Anyone had this before and can comment?

Mike Horrigan · August 31st, 2006, 01:25 PM

I'm using a Sony (DCR-DVD200 NTSC) handicam. It records on DVD-R/RW's.

When using Premiere Pro 1.5 it doesn't like the VOB file so I convert it to WMV with a DVD ripper. What resolution should I choose when ripping it? I think the camera records in 704 x 480, odd, I know. Should I just pick 720x480?

I'm shooting with the cameras widescreen mode. I wish it looked a little wider in scope. If I chose "keep aspect ratio" in the ripper and converted it to 1280 x 720 would that skew the image too much? I want a wide look but I don't want to stretch it.

Please get back. Hopefully I've explained the problem well enough.

Mike

Ervin Farkas · August 31st, 2006, 02:00 PM

This has been discussed often on the forum - your DVD file is basically mpeg2. Simply rename it from .vob to .mpg or .mpeg and Premiere Pro 1.5 will import it no problems.
