Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Running CS5 without Hardware Upgrade

  • Running CS5 without Hardware Upgrade

    Posted by Martha Daniel on August 8, 2010 at 7:26 pm

    I need a solution using my current Dell 32 bit Precision workstation laptop and a Premier Pro version that will import native AVCHD files from my Panasonic HDC tm700 for time being.

    Have been using CS3 very well with this laptop but cannot find a PP version of CS4 to purchase, which would help me for time being.
    I read on some forum that PP CS5 also has a version of CS4??

    Would an upgrade from CS3 to CS5 even run on a 32 bit machine wthout 64 bit, the nvidea graphics cards even though I could not take advantage of the mercury engine until I upgrade my hardware later? Would appreciate some good advice.

    I need to continue to be mobile and any advice is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    NO, CS5 needs 64bit

    Quote “Windows copy of CS5 Master Collection or CS5 Production Premium, Adobe has included a complimentary copy of Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 for you to use until you upgrade to a 64-bit version of Windows Vista® or Windows 7”

    Martha,

    I ran a Dell Dimension 3.2Ghz , hyper- threaded with a 125 MB radeon Video card (now 6 years old )to Adobe System requirements. with the old 1.5.1 which still works well although slow with Premiere pro and H264 mov files. The new Dell Precision T5500 Quad with the NVidia Quadro Fx3800 is a great improvement even at using a 32 bit Premiere Pro , on the new computer.The looks are similar to Apple’s Final Cut Pro, probably 3 times faster renders and saves. Although transcoding mov to Cineform avi is faster it is not earth shattering , but, an improvement. I will get CS5 soon, I wanted to see what would happen. I am pleasantly surprised.

    Regards,
    If it “ain’t broke do not fix it” ?

    I believe CS5 is a 64 bit application and will not run on a 32 bit computer. Trail it on SD , they will not allow you to trial it on High Definition.It did run on the old computer in Standard definition only.
