NVIDIA Maximus and Premiere Pro CS5.52
by: 
 12/19/2011 3:15 PM
With the advent of version 5.52 of Premiere Pro, Adobe offered support for what NVIDIA calls Maximus on the PC platform. Maximus in essence is a Quadro card combined with a Tesla card. Okay, what’s a Tesla card? Basically, it’s a Quadro card without the display outputs – essentially, a headless GPU processing powerhouse. I wanted to take what I had done with the NVIDIA Quadro card comparison and apply the same tests to the Maximus card set I have. Read on, to learn the results. Read More

Adobe CS5.5 Max Render Quality & NVIDIA GPU acceleration
by: 
 12/06/2011 2:24 PM
GPU acceleration gives the same level of render quality as Maximum Render Quality, even if you don’t check the Maximum Render Quality box.

But instead of a performance hit, you gain a 6-7x performance boost.

Let me start-off by saying that Jan Ozer is my favourite video technology writer and speaker. I first met him in Jacksonville, FL at the defunct 4EVERGroup’s Video ’07 video conventions, where we were both speakers. Steve Nathans, EventDV Magazine’s editor-in-chief, was also th Read More

Final Cut Pro vs. Adobe Premiere CS 5.5, That Is The Question
by: 
 11/02/2011 9:36 AM
Dave Newman asked Shane Ramirez, our editing manager here at Media Design to relate his thoughts on the new Adobe Premiere Pro platform vs. our old version of Final Cut Pro (7). I asked him which platform he would be using for his latest project, since he was trained originally on Final Cut, and his answer was Premiere Pro CS 5.5, and with his comments, we can perhaps determine why.

Diving into NVIDIA GPU’s and what they mean for Premiere Pro
by: 
 10/05/2011 9:53 AM
Trying to quantify the GPU in a Premiere Pro…For the editing and pro community, it is a big deal. It is something that I’ve wanted to do for some time, but I had no idea how complicated and time consuming this would be! I went into this endeavor thinking that I would clearly delineate between different Quadro level cards and along the way understand what each one offered in the way of performance. I was methodical in setting up my system and in trying to create real-world tests that would e Read More

Desktop Post: Part 2 - Adobe Premiere CS5.5
by: 
 10/04/2011 2:34 PM
Premiere Pro in Adobe CS 5 was a watershed release. The program was written from the ground up in 64-bit environment that is fully exploited on the Mac OS X and the very stable Windows 7 system. The kind of hiccups running Premiere in a 32-bit funky Windows XP operating system are mostly banished. Refinements to this aspect of the engine in CS5.5 is that the 64-bit addressing of using the CPU cores has been further optimized improving overall stability when editing projects with large files, i.e Read More

Adobe gets it and Adobe wants you.
by: 
 8/24/2011 12:47 AM
When Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5 was launched more than two years ago, the message was clear that Adobe was taking Premiere Pro into the professional market segment. This is not your father's Adobe Premiere, it is a powerful NLE designed to handle the most challenging professional projects. They were the first NLE developer to commit to an all new 64-bit architecture and native HD format support. Adobe harnessed all of the power in your computer, multiple CPU cores, huge amounts of RAM and even you Read More

My First Adobe Premiere CS5.5 Experience – From a Final Cut Pro Refugee
by: 
 8/22/2011 9:35 AM
It’s been several weeks now since Apple released their new version of Final Cut for the masses. Having seen a demonstration of Premiere Pro CS5.5 in use at a recent video production conference, I was fairly impressed at what I saw. But as we know from even Apple’s NAB demo of Final Cut Pro X, demonstrations are not the real thing. However, seeing Apple’s demo of FCPX made me realize I didn’t want to go down the path of the iMovie-style interface, so even before Apple’s release of FCPX I was kee Read More

NVIDIA Quadro Mobile Workstation GPUs
by: 
 8/03/2011 12:17 PM
Videoguys recommend Quadro Mobile GPUs

The Adobe Mercury Playback Engine in Premiere Pro CS5.x is amazing. When you combine it with a mobile Quadro card you will be able to edit multiple layers of assorted HD footage foramts in real-time. Avid wants a Quadro card for Media Composer as well. We really like the new Quadro 3000M with 2GB of GDDR5 memory and 193 CUDA cores!

The NVIDIA® Quadro® Mobile Workstation product family is a complete top-to-bottom range of solutions with unmatched Read More

Notes from using Premiere Pro in a real-world, client-in-the-room edit
by: 
 7/27/2011 9:29 AM
Adobe Premiere Pro has been back in the post-production public consciousness for quite a while. Now at version 5.5 it feels like Adobe began really pushing it when the Mercury Playback Engine was added in 5. I’ve been toying with it off and on for quite a while now but with the recent release of Final Cut Pro X I wanted to give it a real-world, client in the room test. In the end it was both very good, kinda bad … and a little bit ugly. Read More

NVIDIA Quadro 4000 for Mac Reviewed: A Silver Bullet
by: 
 7/14/2011 3:47 PM
Contemporary applications such as Adobe's Creative Suite 5.5 harness the power of GPU in a big way and that was the trigger in our decision to test the new Quadro 4000 for Mac. Since even the latest Mac Pro is exclusively being powered by ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics cards (note to Apple: AMD shut down the ATI brand and now consumer products are exclusively known as AMD Radeon), harnessing the real power of the GPU in Adobe's suite was simply not an option.
