What happens if you double any given clip on the timeline to load it into the source viewer?

Was this by chance an HDV project?

Hi…
Just to reiterate…
“Jittery” almost always means a Field Dominance mismatch between sources…
You need to render out either Upper or lower field dominance from AE for use in PPro for layering….
The source will look fine by itself….
When you combine it on the PPro timeline…that’s when you will notice it…

Hmmm…
This is interesting…
I’m considering a Mac Laptop Bootcamp Combo so I can use the Adobe suite under Windows and the FCP suite under OSX depending on what my client requests…
It would be nice to have Adobe on each OS…not sure I want to for out for 2 full separate licenses though.

Hey Leo…
It won’t make your CPU any faster…And Premiere Pro CS4 is still 32 bit…any 32 bit app can only address 3.5 GB of RAM (windows environment)….BUT…
From what I understand PPro CS4 as an application has been sort of split (from an OS point of view, not a user point of view) into multiple concurrent tasks.
Each one of those concurrent processes can take advantage of it’s own chunk of RAM…this should make PPro behave faster than under XP (32 Bit) where they’d all have to share the same 32 bit memory blocks…and use the disk swap file…which reduces performance.
So you should see a benefit under 64 bit…
hope that helps….

Hi…
Another thing to check is your field dominance on your output settings coming out of AE…
It’s very likely that it needs to be set to upper or lower to key over your footage cleanly in PPro…
Do some short tests to figure our the right settings…

Hey Peter…
This is normal behavior for that config when in Dual View (task bar on one mon, but desktop extended to both)
You can trick it by doing extended view (one task bar across both monitors) but this tended to stretch things a bit awkwardly in my config.
I went with Dual view and set up my viewers in layout on the primary monitor and lived with it.
If you set the other monitor as Primary in the Windows Display Control panel, the overlay follows. But in dual view, you can’t have it on both at the same time. I think it’s an ATI direct X quirk. (as flash videos (don’t use DirectX) or quicktime with DirectX disabled don’t have that problem).
Hope that helps,

Hi…
the easiest method.
You need to make a Dot.
This can be done in Premiere’s Titler.
From the project Panel right click and create new title.
Use the tools in the titler to make either a dot or circle to you style and linking.
Center it and Close the titler.With you video clip on Video 1 in your sequence,
Add the Title to Video 2 (or Higher).Click the Clip of the Title in the timeline.
Now in the Source viewer you will see a Tab called Effect controls.
Use the motion tools found there to reposition the Dot to your liking.
Opacity controls can be used to make the dot dissolve in and out.
This will get you started.
It can get much more sophisticated from there.

Hi…
This should work fine.
Start the “Project A” by digitizing all your assets for the entire edit.
Duplicate the Project File to crate “Project B”
Project B has all the same media Links as “Project A”
When you move Project B and it’s media to another machine…
If the Driver letters are not the same PPro will prompt you to link the media to the locations on system B.
As the Folder structure within the new drive letter (assumes windows)
this should be a pretty easy relink.Edit Project and and B.
Then the Project B “.proj” file back to Machine A.
Open Project A and Import the Project b File.
Again….if the driver letters differ between the two machines, PPro will ask you to relink, but again it should be pretty easy, as all the assets exist on both machines. Skip Previews..
then you can copy and paste the elements of both Sequences into a new master sequence for finishing….
Hope that helps…

Hi Guys…
Modifying the Boot.ini file in XP is pretty standard fare for a lot of Editing systems that run on Windows. In fact, Matrox actually automates the process as part of their standard install, so I wouldn’t let that scare you too much.
As far as I know…
Under a 64 bit Vista, PPro (even CS4) will still be a 32 bit application, meaning that it won’t address any more than the 3.5 available to it. The benefit comes in the fact that if you have more ram installed, each of the apps, like AE for example can access their OWN banks of 3.5 GB, so they are not competing with each other and having to use the Swap file. So it should make things run a lot more smoothly with the integration.
We are awaiting Matrox to release the drivers for RT.X2 over here before we move forward to either CS4 or Vista. I may download a trial or two to starting learning new features prior to deployment, so we can hit the ground running.
Hope that perspective helps a bit.
