Right now I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, and I have two Hard-drives (500GB) and an external Hard-drive (1TB). I have had to reformat often due to Hard-drive failures and corrupt Windows OS. I would love to know what everyone does to keep their files backed up and organized so that reformatting the Hard-drive that contains the operating system is as quick and painless as possible. How am I able to easily "re-link" assets and find projects? My situation doesn't seem that complicated, but please be as specific as possible with your response. Thank you for your time and advice! -Orpheus P.S.

I right-click on a clip in PP, selecting 'Replace with After Effects Composition'. All works well and I make the changes required in AE. The changed footage is also displayed in PP. I save both AE and PP. As soon as I close AE, the footage in PP is replaced with a still image indicating that the link is broken. When I re-open AE, the clips' link is also broken. Why is the link broken as soon as I exit AE? I'll appreciate it if someone could please help me.

I have a project I need to get finished and ran into a encoding/compiling error. Here's the deal: I am making a wedding video that I filmed. I would say 85% of it was shot onto mini HDV while the rest was done with a camera that uses AVCHD. The problem came when I exported the ceremony clip. We shot the ceremony with both cameras (both formats). CS4 let me bring import both into my timeline and i worked with both without a problem. Come time to encode and I get an "unknown error". I realized that it was saving the video up to the point where the AVCHD format first shows up. Sooo i copied my work and in the copy took out all the AVCHD material and walla .. it encoded. My question/problem: Is there any export settings or sequence settings that will allow me to have both formats in my timeline and still be able to encode the movie/scene? Or is this even my problem? Feel free to let me know what I am doing wrong or where i misspoke; I have been away from the movie editing hobby for a long time.. thanks, Bryan Whong on "A couple of questions?" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/a-couple-of-questions#post-52641 Fri, 27 Nov 2009 01:47:12 +0000 Whong 52641@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ I don't know if this is the right place to ask these questions... I've been puzzled about wheter it's legal to buy and use software from the US and use it outside the US boarders e.g in Europe? I've been thinking of buying Adobe Production Premium CS5 when it is comes out, God willing. The price in the US is about 1600$ whereas in Europe it's nearly 2400â?¬ which is about 3600$ currently. So it's a huge difference and I wouldn't want to spend so much extra for nothing. <img src="http://videocopilot.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /> So is it legal or not??? Also I'd like to know wheter this is a safe site to buy software from? <a href="http://videoguys.com/">http://videoguys.com/</a> Has anyone bought software or anything from here? Would anyone recommend buying from videoguys.com? prazehorn on "Multi camera operation Adobe CS4" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/multi-camera-operation-adobe-cs4#post-51417 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 12:12:11 +0000 prazehorn 51417@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ When in Muti camera editing in CS4 there is this delay between camera switching for approx. 3-4 secs. I am however editing two different formats. MPG4 & AVCHD. Can anyone tell me if this may be related to using two different codecs simultaneously and if so can I incorporate the AVCHD codec in a manner that might improve the situation. franko on "Which Mac is best for me?" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/which-mac-is-best-for-me#post-51588 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 23:32:00 +0000 franko 51588@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ I was gonna have a custom computer built for editing. But found out here in my local area, Mac is the standard everyone uses. And if it requires more, you rent it. And realized i should get a mac. I will get a nice discount due to accademic pricing on all software and computers i get. But stuck on which Mac model I should get. I'd like to get a Mac Mini. Since I'm looking at price first. It's a desktop, but still portable if needed. But does it have the Memory, graphic and processing power to edit video with Adobe Premiere, and other Production Suite Apps? I think it does. But id like to make sure before i go out and get one. The other option I'm looking at is a Macbook Pro. As it has the 8 gigs of memory without getting the full blown mac pro...which i do NOT have the money to get no mater how much I'd like to have it. But its a considerable price increas just to have the extra 4 gigs of memory that the Mac Mini cant have (The Macbook pro im looking at even has the same graphics card as the Mini.) Or could i just get a plain old Macbook for full portability? does that have the power to use Production Premiere and company?

As I am still learning (and forever will be!) I have found this site tremendously helpful and am hoping the community can help or point me to relevant articles. What I want help with is in After Effects. I have some use with it, though I’m not nearly as comfortable with it as I am in Premiere, which is not to say I am a pro or anything. So, bare with me as I ask: <ol> <li>What is a composition exactly and what is it used for exactly? Some tutorials require you to make a composition, others do not, meaning you throw footage in and use it. Is it like Sequences in premiere, where, once you create one you can insert the entire sequence in another which encompasses all the edits as opposed to copying and pasting everything on the timeline into another sequence? I know that a sequence is created automatically when you don’t create one.</li> <li>I look at tutorials that require a lot of masking. I’ve done some, such as replacing what you see on a TV screen, but say you want to do special effects where you first have an exploding sausage and want to make it look like an exploding head, I seem to not grasp the concept of masking nor can I find anything online to show me the basics. I know the pen tool is used as a mask when you want t draw something specific, but aside from this I seem to be lost, for example, by not knowing which footage in the above scenario would you put as number 1 or 2.</li> </ol> Any help is greatly appreciated!

I just get stuttering video and rendering takes forever. I'm using Premiere CS4, Pinnacle Studio 12, Windows Movie Maker (which won't even acknowlege the files. I have an HP HDX-18t, dual core 2.8 processor w/ 6gig RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 130M video card running on Windows Vista 64-bit. I thought this computer would be plenty powerful enough to work in HD, but I'm becoming very frustrated. I've tried it in 1080i and 720p (both in H.264 video format)with no luck. Is this format any different than other HD cameras or do I just need to give up the HD dream. Any advise would be appreciated.

When I import movie files and shall begin to edit them, the image of the movie moves so much faster than the sound, wich is in realtime. This problem does not exist in Premiere Pro 2.0, wich I also have installed on my comp, so I guess it's something smelly with the new graphic card acceleration and all the new functions. My computer should be good enough to use CS4. Use nvidia Geforce 8800 Gts 640 mb. Anyone else had this problem? And any ideas of how it could be solved?

I personally, like the idea of spending 80 bucks on a program like this. It's offers a ton of customization options & is extremly user friendly! The only big difference is that with titles & effects (chromakey) CS4 obviously offers more... but whadya you think? chrisColorado on "Adobe CS3 vs. CS4" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/adobe-cs3-vs-cs4#post-42789 Sat, 03 Jan 2009 18:36:51 +0000 chrisColorado 42789@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ Has anyone used the Adobe CS3 Production Premium and then upgraded to the CS4 version? I see that CS4 is missing Ultra from the bundle. Has this bothered anyone, or is it more convenient that way? If you upgrade, do you get to keep Ultra? It might be more convenient, since I'm thinking most chroma keying can be effectively done with After EffectsÂ and Premiere, so Ultra isn't needed. Am I right?
