Turncoat! No more FCP help for you anymore… :)”

Haha! I’ve had one version or another of the Adobe suite longer than I’ve had Final Cut Studio. I can’t do without Photoshop, After Effects and Illustrator. Premiere Pro is pretty nice too. Options are always good!

Having the old Audition is not quite the same thing as Audition CS5.5. Aside from some useful new features the new version has a back and forth work flow with Premiere Pro, where whole timelines and clips can be sent from Premiere Pro complete with volume and pan keyframes and stems can be sent back.

Shawn, that link is to an old CS5 article, not a CS5.5 review.

I have to agree whats the point? they change the symbol in England so its £400 for us, for minor upgrades patch fixes. FCP X is out in June a brand new product built from the ground up, not an upgrade full program $299 on there app store no additional fees for downloading it. CS5 is where I draw the line, people seem to forget we had to pay upgrade costs to plug-ins we already owned so they could run on CS5. think i have a better chance of just compositing in C4D, than continue to support Adobes outlandish costs for a product that isn’t polished…

Todd,

Is the list of GPUs supported in CS5.0 still out there somewhere? The old link (adobe.com/products/premiere/systemreqs/) redirects to 5.5.

Adobe support page has a link titled “Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 system requirements” (April 30, 2010) – and it’s broken as well.

Thanks!

Here’s a link to the CS5.5 system requirements:

We just had a big webiste update, and it broke a lot of links. Thanks for pointing this one out.

Regarding the list of cards supported by CS5…

I’m not finding a place where we now have a list for CS5. This page has a list of the new ones added for CS5.5. If you use that alongside the complete list on this page, you can determine which are supported in CS5.

Thanks Todd, that would work.

One other question: are there any real-world benchmarks for the CS5.5 improvements in CUDA processing?

Does it matter (much) which supported card is being used (with all other things being equal), and if so, how significant are the differences, and which card is the current “sweet spot”?

Thanks!

Faster cores means faster processing. More cores means faster processing. These things are pretty obvious.

More VRAM has one possibly non-obvious result. See the end of this post for an example of how inadequate VRAM makes CUDA processing not work at all in the case of large frame/layer sizes.
