Any advantage to keeping 1.5 on a secondary machine?

Other then titles that are independent of the project is there any wisdom to keeping 1.5 on a secondary machine?”

After a few months, I usually get rid of the older versions, because I never tend to use them. And, projects created in older versions do open up in the newer version.

Yes, I have found that I have not cut on this machine at all. I just wish that that the 2.0 titles were more portable. Thanks for the help!

The easiest way I have found to “share” titles is:
1. Use Save As… to make a copy of the project with the titles I want to reuse.
2. Delete everything (media, timelines, gfx, etc.) except the titles from this copy.
3. Import the copy project into the “other” project where they are needed.

For me this is as easy, if not easier, than the media management required to wrangle a bunch of individual files.

Hope this is useful.

Your license agreement allows installation on two PC’s. So why not upgrade the second machine to 2.0 as well, copy the original files from machine 2 to 1 in the same directory structure, store your project on a external HD and then you can use both PC’s to edit.

I kept 1.5 on the machine when I upgraded. It turned out to be of benefit when 2.0 started stuttering on any rendered video. I took the info to Adobe. They say it’s a hardware issue. One point five works fine though, no problems at all.

The only thing I can imagine is that 2.0 makes use of the video card (I think) and that somehow my video card is flaking. I don’t see any problems though in any app other than PP2. I brought the problem up here with no resolution. Same with Adobe. The only thing I haven’t done is pay out cash for a new video card. It could be something else I suppose, but I don’t seem to have any problems with any app other than PP2.

I found one advantage of keeping PPRO 1.5: if you’re ready to “wet your feet” in HDV but don’t have the cash to purchase CineForm – the free 1.5.1 upgrade will come in handy.

And I read some place that keeping 1.5 and installing 2.0 works just fine.

Ervin,

Why keep 1.51 if you have 2.0? HDV support is available in 2.0 and you can never use a 2.0 project in 1.51, so what is the value added?

[Ervin Farkas]

Harm, do you mean that the free download (that makes PPRO 1.5 work with HD) works in PPRO 2.0 as well? If so, then forget 1.5… I have to check on this… but as far I know, it doesn’t…

[Harm Millaard]

No, the original question was if you have 2.0 on one machine, would it be worthwhile to keep 1.5 on the other. From that perspective I said you are allowed two machines with 2.0 under the license agreement, so what is the benefit of keeping 1.5. Better to have 2.0 on both machines, since you can not revert to 1.5 from a 2.0 project. 2.0 can handle HDV even better than 1.5.1
