Using GPU Acceleration with an ancient card like the 8800 might be the issue.
What I would do in your situation, if you already have the Quadro 4000, is pickup the modded GTX 470 from ebay, and replace your 8800 and use the Quadro to drive your display.
You’ll get a huge perfomance boost in both premiere and Davinci.
The GTX 470 is about 2x as powerful as the Q4000 for less half the cost.
Why Apple isn’t supporting higher graphics cards is one of the reasons I’m moving to premiere myself, to prepare for an eventual (potential) switch to windows.

Oh god, Fibrejet.
So glad I don’t have to deal with that anymore. Caused nothing but issues when I had to work with it.

Super Génial!
C’est bien de voir que peut-être FCPX va pas valoir rien…

I’ve had so many weird unexplainable, untroubleshootable problems since I installed lion, I went back, and I do not miss it. Kernel panics, software refusing to launch, random crashes, it was driving me crazy. And this was off a clean install on a new drive.
I’m at least going to wait until 10.7.2 or 3 to give it another shot.
Does Lion have anything you actually need?

How did you fit two 470’s in a Macpro?

Yeah, so after spending 2 more hours with Adobe support (and talking to someone competent), they haven’t been able to help yet either.
I’ve uninstalled, re-installed, cleared caches, created users, everything I can think of… No dice.
Premiere will not start.
I’m getting to the re-install the OS state of things, which is weird since this is a 2 week old install. Maybe I should give up on Lion.

Just uninstalled and re-installed…
Ran Onyx & all the clean-up tools I could think of… and still
And no dice, still crashes on startup.
Also, I spent about an hour on the phone with adobe support, which started with them asking me the “drag the application to the desktop” and them not understanding that we were already in the library files, and forcing me to “Hold Option, click the go folder, select library”, and look for the “adobe folder” (there is no adobe folder in the library, it’s in library/application support. Then they wanted control of my computer while looking through my library files. Didn’t really trust the lady in the innards of my computer.

Are you rendering in “source” mode or target mode? Have you checked all your render settings? Are you rendering from the master timeline?
Just some ideas…

Nothing like bringing up final touch to make you remember how good we actually have it now.

I take everything back.
That’s $100 replacement is for a Dongle that’s been physically damaged, which seems fair. I’m sorry I ever besmirched BMD. I was just shocked because I was so used to stellar service from them
