I will certainly be at the Supermeet and hope that many of you will come up and find the tall guy (I’m 6’5″) and introduce yourselves! Always happy to chat if you’ve got questions.

The BBC does indeed use a lot of Premiere Pro though it’s not an account I focus on being on the other side of the pond. ESPN is primarily Quantel with a little Avid. FCP and Premiere Pro have about equal status there (not much).

[Lance Bachelder] “So are you saying offline low rez and then online later?”
Well, with Premiere Pro, you’re always using the original media, it’s just how much information you’re playing back at any time. As for finishing – you just need to target what your final deliverable is.
GeForce vs. Quadro: Well, I haven’t played with a GTX 680 yet, but there’s no denying that it is a heck of a good card.
however, the Quadro’s are designed to be over-engineered and provide a 24×7 type performance necessary for certain applications. While Quadro’s are more expensive they do offer some benefits including things like a single source provider (NVIDIA) and other things.
I get it that a lot of people want GeForce but there are good reasons for Quadro too. Until they come out with Kepler Quadro’s though, the GeForce 680 looks good.

Sounds like there’s still some CS6 type stuff on after you uninstall which is why I was suggesting trying to install it on a clean drive.
Beyond that, I’d hit the forum and see what other people are saying about how to address. I wish I had more answers for you but alas, I don’t.Yes, the Cleaner tool does what it describes, removes Adobe stuff and any little bits left behind. I use it any time I’m unintalling and reinstalling just as a precaution.

I’m not a photoshop whiz and I’m not tracking it so doubt that any input I provide is of much use. However, you could try a clean drive (old external firewire), install the OS and try the installer there. If it works, great – if not, then it’s definitely a corrupt image IMO.
You can also use the CS clean tool, but of course, if you do, make sure you’re deactivating your licenses first.

[Lance Bachelder] “Understood. I’m assuming that without a Red Rocket I’d be cutting Red raw 4k stuff with PPro set to 1/2 or 1/4 in a 4k sequence to get any type of real-time performance. The Red Rocket is nearly 10 times the price of the GTX 680 though :(“
A few quick comments for you Lance.
The 680 does indeed look very, very interesting. I talk to the NVIDIA guys all of the time and when they make something like this in a Quadro, I’ll be very excited even though it’s a bit more expensive.
I think that the issue with previewing at full 4k res is twofold – one subjective and one practical. subjectively – do you really NEED to view at true full res (4k) and is there a practical true 4k viewing experience to fit most mortal’s budgets? Consider that RED 4k at quarter res is still HD quality (1000 lines) and it looks really nice. Edit the originals at a good quality even half (2k) and if your final deliverable is in fact 4k, then when you get to your grading you can go out to a 4k grading solution and hopefully finish in 4k.
My two cents.

[Simon Ubsdell] “Still at least they’ve responded … sort of … wouldn’t get that from Apple in a million years!”
Hi guys,
Sorry I didn’t jump in earlier, but busy with a million things and I like to chime in here for fun and as a chance to ‘get away’ from work…sort of…
Anyway, I think the real point is what Simon said here – that Adobe is talking with customers and acknowledging where there can be a problem. You will not get that typically from most other vendors and certainly that hasn’t been the case with Cupertino in quite a while.
I know this is the positive side of the argument, but I’d rather have a company say, ‘hey yeah, this is an issue and we can’t get to this in the time you want’ rather than have silence and no communication be my de facto standard.
Another way to think about it is that with any conversation or communication, there is always give and take. We (Adobe) can’t do every feature and everything that every user wants immediately. We have though demonstrated a willingness to listen and to try and help.

I’m here for a few reasons that should be readily apparent:
1 – I value the input of FCP 7/X users and I will often funnel your insight back to Adobe teams.
2 – Premiere Pro and Adobe product in general are a part of many FCP discussions and I’m here to answer them or to correct misconceptions and/or errors.
3 – I’ve always said that part of the fun of following Apple is the soap opera like saga – there are always twists in the story and certainly FCP X has been one of those. On a personal level, I like to observe the ups and downs of users and their reactions to various Apple gadgets. NLE being closest to my own heart, I pay particular attention to Apple’s NLE.Dennis – Adobe guy

We have long understood the need to improve our trim tools. Lets see what the new release brings. 😉

I tend to agree though I have a bias as to which pony you should jump on. 😉
The reason I agree with Shane is that FCP 7 doesn’t really support a whole bunch of codecs without rewrapping or transcoding to ProRes and while that’s not bad, it does hamper a back and forth workflow between Premiere Pro and FCP. Our XML import works great for the most part as is a good way to open legacy FCP7 projects. We’ll play ProRes just fine. The export function out of Premiere Pro works well too, but only if you’ve cut with ProRes or other FCP compatible media. If not, then you have to take the time to convert the footage and relink your timelines. A hassle at best.
Hope this helps.
