I imagine if debugframe….works with the latest you may be able to, CS5 has buttons at the bottom of the export open window that allows you to directly export (versus launching AME) or “Queue” to AME. However, it has the face of AME, not just the browser window like old Premiere 6 the last time I used frameserver. give me more info on how to test and I’ll try it.

Hey everyone who has a powerful NVIDIA card (like GTX 260 an up)–

there is a hack that tricks PPro into thinking your CUDA Nvidia is supported and will use it for MPE (although I experience only a little boost (GTX 260 CUDA v. CPU i7 930 alone) in scrubbing timeline with 5 FUll HD AVCHD files on the timeline(all with effects).

or google “How to make premiere cs5 work with GTX 295”

I didn’t bother the NVIDIA panel part and still got a boost.

However, I think the Certified process is a way of confirming stability so expect possible issues if your don’t have your computer tweaked perfectly.

Eric M,

Thanks for the follow up. I guess I was not clear with my comments.
I mentioned price because I assumed your were using a PC (from my perspective) and switched to a Mac (the equivalent Mac of my computer cost 4 times more (except the Mac doesn’t have a Blue-ray burner).
Also, I don’t assume I have to buy a new Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, AfterEffects, ect.
And, well, most people are upgrading, so the $1699 is a straw-man.
I’m happy with my PhotoShop 5, Illustrator 10, After Effects 6.5 and Flash CS4! [I use what I need and don’t have much use for Adobe bridge]

“Haven’t done much else but edit my files Gigabytes smaller and with no more 11 hour downtime!” Me
What I meant was I can’t speak about all benefits but the time-saving is great. Previously I had to capture real-time through my HDMI BMD card 5 cameras worth of 1.5 hours of film —that’s 11 hours before I started editing.”
Because CS5 supports real time AVCHD codec now (I can plug the 5 SD/or Pro DUo cards in by usb adapters and edit without rendering preview files/converting to intermediate codec, ect).
Having 5 streams of Full HD immediately on the timeline is nice, and they play back in realtime.
All with pretty decent but not expensive prosumer tools. No P2’s, Raid array, mega SDI capture box, ect. just a hand-built pc and 5 prosumer AVCHD cameras.

“Good luck wasting your time without CS5!”
I meant the comment in the narrow specifics of the workflow you mentioned-[4 streams of footage going into the multicam viewer at 30-45 minutes long each] -if you have a workflow that requires importing your files and converting them to SD or realtime capturing DV, ect (like 4 cameras times 30minutes content) it would be much faster to just plug in SD cards and edit immediately. I assume you have cameras with AVCHD and aren’t just tape.

Sure its valid to learn other programs, but I’m not concerned with getting a job as an editor.

It would be nice if the multicam had a more than 4 camera option but I just scale the five down and view simultaneously while editing the duplicate tracks not scaled.

As far as stability, haven’t has an issue since using Premiere 6 and a matrox card nearly last century. However, I use dedicated OS drives (1 premiere only) (1 AE, Premiere, Photoshop), ect. and a system with only the editing software I need and don’t use the internet with the system. Since Premiere Pro 2 I haven’t had my computer crash, all with working on 3+ tracks of full HD of over 1hour length content.
The only thing was a little disappearing audio waveform here or there and sometimes a need to close and restart premiere to export a file properly (fixed with CS4).

Hey Eric M,

I do multicam work as well. Landscape 5 HD cameras panorama with 1.5 hours each of game film.
I’m amazed with CS5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just dropped my 5 AVCHD files (both Sony and Panasonic) in and they were ready to work with IMMEDIATELY!!!!! FUNNY they’re all named MTS0001 so I have to rename them. No need to capture HDMI 5 times 1.5 hours anymore.
Even with my BlackMagic card presets that outputs directly to my 46″, they preview immediately and conforming for 16bit audio doesn’t take long either!
Edius software edits/previews AVCHD immediately (preview window) with their trial but I don’t have their output card.

FCP?? I burn with Blu-Ray so I think its funny you mention FCP (no support).

In CS5 I can apply effects (like scale,rotation, position the usual that I do for panorama) and see it on my TV immediately (although have to render for RT playback of multi effects). I add the film twice on tracks so I have 5 non-effect tracks that I can eyeball between and these easily play out realtime both in the AVCHD and BMD presets!

I have an i7,gigabyte,SSD,GTX260 that I put together under $550.
Haven’t done much else but edit my files Gigabytes smaller and with no more 11 hour downtime!

I don’t understand you complaining about money if you are working with FCP?

Good luck wasting your time without CS5!

I’ve figured out one discombobulated workflow method.
I capture in dv format the tape into my old computer with Premiere 6.0.
I edit the sd version with razor cuts and then use the dandy premiere 6.0 utilities trimmer to create a batch list of the pieces cut from the clip.
I now have a batch list of the time codes I can import to my HD editing computer to batch capture.
The PP2 program manager is worthless in this process. If Adobe had kept the old program trimmer I would not have to capture the tape twice!
