Another point I’d make about Creative Cloud is that it’s not about downloading a multi-GB Master Collection installer – when you first subscribe and download, you’re downloading a small utility called the Adobe Application Manager. From there, you can pick and choose which apps to download and install. Once the Application Manager is installed, you won’t be prompted for a serial number again. You can download Premiere Pro today, download Photoshop tomorrow, etc, as needed. If, 2 weeks from now, you realize you need Illustrator, just fire up Application Manager and start downloading.

All that said, the installers for the individual products are still pretty big – usually a few hundred MB each. But, as someone in a far corner of the world (Singapore) I find the Cloud downloads much more doable than a 6GB single file.

CS3? No, I don’t think XML import was added until a dot release in the CS4 time frame, or possibly CS5.

Worst-case scenario – create a new project, and import the extra-large project into the new empty one. That usually corrects the issue, and the new project is much smaller.

For a good, technical read on the Max Render Quality setting, check out this article by Todd Kopriva and Steve Hoeg:

Is there a reason you don’t want to run Premiere Pro under MacOS? Premiere Pro has a Mac version as well – you can stick with MacOS, run FCP7 and Premiere simultaneously if you like, and you won’t run into Boot Camp issues.

For color grading, there’s a hidden gem inside After Effects called Color Finesse 3. This is included with Production Premium, and can do a LOT. I did some training videos on it on AdobeTV: https://tv.adobe.com/search/?q=color+finesse

June 29, 2011 at 4:32 am in reply to: One Major bug needs to be fixed before I can switch from FCP

Issue 1 is most likely the codec in question. AVCHD is a clunky codec and definitely doesn’t have the performance that DVCPROHD or ProRes has.

Issue 2 is a settings issue – Premiere Pro can be operated in full 32-bit-per-channel, floating point color, but that mode is disabled by default. To turn it on, go to Sequence-sequence settings, and check the box for Maximum Bit Depth. You’ll also want to stick to color effects with the big “32” icon, but that includes almost all the color correction tools (3-way, RGB Curves, etc.)
