Premiere Pro CS4: 64-Bit?

[Cata Sima]

Premiere cs4 works well on windows 7 x64 i have 4gb of ram,intel quad core q9550,geforce 9800gt 1gb ram. i am not satisfied because of the interrupted playback after i edit clip in premiere. i edit full hd. i was thinking to upgrade with another 4gb of ram,that should do the work perfectly.cheers

to say it “works well” on 7×64 is like saying daihatsu is an excellent performance car.. it’s rubbish – I’m 7×64, EVGA 790i ultra mobo, Intel Q6700@3.33GHz, 8g’s of OCZ ram (7-7-7-24-1T), and an EVGA GTS250 – and there’s no doubt that PPcs4 could easily operate 10 times faster and much more efficiently if it was written for 64bit architectures -trust, another 4 gigs won’t do a thing to improve PPcs4’s performance (unfortunately) – the only thing that will benefit us as Adobe PPcs4 customers/64bit OS owners, is to have an actual 64bit version >period<

allright,i understand. but what should i upgrade to make my quad core q9550 2,83ghz and nvidia geforce 9800gt 1gb ram and HDD:1TB-10000rpm edit hd video in realtime?? on my configuration, premiere only works as CS4 version,earlier version won’t work. what should I do to edit avchd 1920×1080 in realtime with premiere cs4 ?

You shouldn’t have to upgrade anything; your system is already powerful enough to edit HD realtime, no matter what operating system you choose.

Are you trying to do so, but encountering problems? Or was this just a question?

Wait, I just saw your original post. So you’re having stuttering in Windows 7? My son’s computer does too, even doing easy stuff like playing a regular DVD. Windows 7 is a release candidate, not a fully-released product, and it has some problems with video playback. Do not run Windows 7 for video editing.

If you remove Windows 7 and instead put in Vista x64 you will easily be able to edit HD in realtime. I have a system similar to yours and run Vista x64 (64-bit) and can quite easily edit 24p and 30p sources. (60p works too, but drops down to a lower framerate while playing off the timeine if I apply effects and don’t render.)
