Module 3 1 ADOBE PRODUCTION STUDIO CURRICULUM GUIDE timing, and blanking. Back then, videotape editing was a technical task, not an artistic endeavor. As editing machines became smaller and easier to use, engineers gave way to artists, but editing on analog (nondigital) videotape still had its limitations. Each edit resulted in “generation loss,” a reduction in visual quality caused by the less-than-perfect copying of the analog signal from the original videotape. Transitions, such as cross-dissolves, required the use of three VCRs and expensive switchers. Frequently the VCRs did not synch-up properly, leading to a flicker or jump-cut at the edit point. Thanks to the advent of digital videotape and software video editors, generation loss, jumpy transitions, and expensive tape machines and editing hardware are things of the past. Now, anyone with a PC, or even a laptop, can do broadcast-quality video editing. Configuring a DV Workstation Adobe Premiere Pro’s developers aimed high. To see Adobe Premiere Pro at its best you’ll need a top-end PC. If you’ve looked at your Adobe Premiere Pro retail box, you might already know the minimum specs. Here’s an abbreviated list: • Intel® Pentium® 4 processor, 1.4GHz • 1024x768 32-bit color display adaptor (Open GL recommended) • 512 MB of RAM • Dedicated, large-capacity 7200 RPM hard drive for media assets • Microsoft DirectX compatible sound card (ASIO-compatible sound card recommended) • Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2
Module 3 Touring Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 If you want to work with HDV (the prosumer, compressed high-definition format), then you’ll need some extra horsepower: • Intel® Pentium® 4 processor, 3.0GHz • 1280x1024 32-bit color display adaptor (Open GL recommended) • 2 GB of RAM Adobe Premiere Pro has design characteristics that scale its performance to match the PC. So if your PC barely meets these minimum specs, Adobe Premiere Pro will work fine, but there may be some sluggishness and a slight change in the displayed video quality. In this case, you want to make sure there are no unnecessary programs running in the background. That said, here’s what you can expect: • You might have to scale Adobe Premiere Pro back to a lower-resolution display to achieve real-time playback. • Rendering—converting any files with special effects applied or that don’t match the project audio and video data rates—will take longer and will consume 100% of your processor’s cycles. • Audio conforming will take some extra time. • As you move around on a sequence or work with effects, there will be occasional lags between mouse clicks and on-screen actions. System recommendations Adobe Premiere Pro takes advantage of certain technologies and configurations. Here are a few PC features to keep in mind, starting with the top three most effective performance enhancers: • RAM—The more RAM you have the better. Adobe Premiere Pro uses 90-120 MB of RAM simply to function. As you scrub through a video project, Adobe Premiere Pro consumes even more RAM for media caching, thereby creating smoother playback. By design, Adobe Premiere Pro will use up to about one-third of your total RAM for caching. On a 1 GB RAM PC, total RAM usage will peak at about 400 MB, or several video frames. If you have 2 GB, that’ll more than double the number of cached frames, meaning even better playback performance. • Hyperthreading—Adobe Premiere Pro takes advantage of Intel Pentium 4’s hyperthreading technology. That is, if Adobe Premiere Pro detects you have a hyperthreading CPU, it will divide its processing into multiple streams to work faster
