#Premiere 4.0
5 messages in this thread
Is anyone using Premiere 4.0 <not 4.0a> for their editing with the PAR?
I would like everyones experience.
Ours: Horrible!
Won't work with the ATI video cards we have on a consistent basis.
Love Premiere when it works. Love Razor Pro too but its not as versatile.
Later…
Hello Mark
I Use the Version 4.0 and I never had a problem. At work I use a Compaq with
their own Video Card. and at home I use Hercules Chrome. What problems are
you having. Are there any error messages.

Mark,
I use Premiere/Par with an ATI Mach32 and have no problems. Also use
Razor Pro, the RP solution is quicker unless you need some of the features the
P4.0 offers.

One thing for sure that will kill you with Premiere and PAR is the 4:3 aspect
ratio bug in the MOTION options box. Nick S. (Premiere Programmer) told me that
bug got ported over from the MAC version. The PAR is not 4:3 and all MOTION
previews OK but renders MANY MANY pixels too high up in the image and randomly
goofs for me…..

YES! I get that problem!
Also, sometimes the transitions don't preview. Just see an "X". This is an ATI
driver problem. Adobe and ATI are aware of it. And sometimes it just locks up!
The ATI Mach64 card is a very popular card. You would think Adobe would do this
right.
I hate the PAR-to-AVI conversion stuff you have to do too. Can't Adobe write
software directly for the PAR?
It this is such a hot program why can In:sync and Elastic Reality do it right
and not Adobe? Unless 4.0a is much better I'm going to shelve it until the bugs
are worked out.
I prefer Premiere to Razor because of all the cool filters and transitions that
you can see in thumbnails and preview but Razor is too rock-solid to switch.
Thanks !
