  • PPro offline on Powerbook G4??

    Posted by Jimmy Brunger on February 18, 2008 at 10:33 am

    Hi all,

    I’m wondering if it is at all poosible for me to offline a job on my Powerbook G4 laptop? I have PPro2 on my PC tower at work, but was hoping to install the CS3 trial on my laptop for a couple of weeks to edit with DV/MJPEG versions of my clips, then reopen the project with full-res clips on my PC to playout to tape…

    Problem is I didn’t realise PPro CS3 was not universal binary, so it DEFINITELY won’t work on my Powerbook right?

    What was the last version or Premiere for the Mac before that!? If so, is it concevable I can then re-open this Premiere 5/6/?? version project in CS2 on my PC?

    Seems I’m a bit stuck, as of course I can’t go FCP route because of the PC.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks for any advice you can give.

    Yes. Don’t do any effects, just cut it. It will still open in CS3.

    DAMN…seems Premiere 6.0 only works in classic mode on OSX..which of course Leopard doesn’t support anymore! Seems I AM screwed….unless someone knows a workaround?

    Yes, well, in an ideal world I would..but I don’t have £850 to hand at the mo for FCS2, plus I was going to just use Adobe Production Premium, as I do very little editing…but should really have checked about Premiere CS3..whoops!

    Might have another look at iMovie…uggh.

    Hmmm….maybe….

    Could try Avid Free DV for Mac (They’ve discontinued the product, however, you might find it somewhere online), and see if you can export an EDL from there, which you’ll just re-import back into PPCS3. However, keep in mind that EDLs in PP limit you do one video track and two audio tracks. (Or the Avid Free may even export an AAF, but that I’m really not sure of.)

    Never mind, doesn’t look like Avid Free DV supports EDL exporting.

    Maybe the Macbook Air would solve all of your problems.
