The term Professional is always used out of context my the so called professionals. Yes People use Adobe Premiere as a Profession(For a living and if you do not know the software the resources are there for you to learn. After all you were not comfortable with your old program that is why you are trying Premiere. I do not know of anybody who use Premiere alone for film at least not for now in the US but overseas it is normal. However, After Effects is combined with Premiere for lots of composites. Lots of effects are done with Aefx and Premiere (Don’t tell the client that you used a $1000.00 program to accomplish the task as it will eat into your future profits). The bottomline is, if you are not smart or creative you will not know.
On Television today many commercials, Documentaries, Musical Videos, Church Videos and more are all done with Premiere.
With the quality of cameras(quality) coming out, your end product will not tell what software or program you used these days. So a Professional is somebody who uses a $500 software to do a job usually done with a $78,000 machine. Why do you think Avid stopped “Express” and drastically slashed the price of Media Composer.
In Production your source material(Video) is the broadcast quality and you just add your ideas to tell the story. -
BMD are gradually losing the fight to firewire. They have to declare that “At this time we are unable to support CS4” and plan for CS5 in 2010

The guy is not having much fun using PPro because he joined the action in the middle. It is like learning at the higher grade without the basic education, Maybe you need to start from PPro 1, and gradually work your way up. Also your system is a dead horse when it comes to editing these days especially the SCSI stuff. I will advise you to get a good system, Corei7, ASUS P5Q, 8gb Vista 64, maybe WIN XP in your case. Spend just a week ay Eddie’s site and you will see things our way.
I have been using Adobe Premiere since 1997 @ 16hrs a day having graduated from a Video and film college in Toronto. CS4 Production Premium is by far the greatest but 6.5 with Canopus is still my favorite and will be glad if Pinnacle Systems and Adobe get together again to produce a very good capture/output card with real time software support, than the junks available now. AVID screwed up Pinnacle Systems big time. -
Your Computer is the weak link here and the tiff too. You should have resized and converted the file to a targa. Tiff is for printing and struggles in video editing applications due to the resolution and size. Premiere pro works good with a quad core without hassles, so you might think of upgrading your board and procesor.

Just keep it as it is cool with both PPro 3 & 4. Video fx was made for PPro and still works. Mine works good with PPro 3, and I recently saw it in CS4 and working too. Prodad is just wipes with lights and Videofx is more 3d.

Great, Do that asap and you will have things going great. I work with 3 & 4

You hit the hammer right, the hard drive is your undoing. Premiere Project files are big. How many drives do you have?

You’re welcome, my vendor would have set you up with a Q6600 for a nice rate if you were in Toronto.
Good luck and have faith you’ll succeed. -

CS4 is not a 64bit application as only Photoshop is, so Vista 64 will not help you much. But using dynamic link then Vista 64 will be your best way out.You can run Photoshop, After fx, PPro and AME at the same time. Each application will take it’s share of the RAM. With Vista 64 you can use up to 128gb but at the moment limited to 16 using 4x4gb ram (The highest single pice of RAM is 4gb). However, CS4 uses peformance rather than RAM to work good, so consider a Big CPU say 9650 or Core i7 or the Xeon family should you decide to go the extreme.
