Adobe Premiere 6.5 Full With Serial Key Number
Premiere started out as a fairly simple application. Back in the early '90s, it was posited against heavy-hitter Avid Media Composer as one of the first non-linear video editing applications. But end users soon became more savvy, demanding the advanced features that Avid provided for the pros -- time-code support, EDLs, and special effects capabilities, to name a few -- and Adobe responded accordingly.
With version 6.5, Adobe Premiere continues to answer to end users' wishes by hopping on the real-time DV bandwagon. Real-time editing is possibly one of the most important features an editing system can offer: The ability to try out lots of variations on a cut is key to successful editing and real-time processing gives editors the freedom to use their imaginations without the regret of a wasted render. Nowadays, cuts-only real-time editing is a given and thanks to faster CPU processing speeds, multiple layers of real-time effects unassisted by hardware add-ons are also quickly becoming the norm for FireWire-based DV systems.
Premiere 6.5 can run on a Mac G3 with 64 MB of application RAM or a 500 MHz Intel Pentium III with 128 MB of system RAM , but you'll need more than that to get robust realtime performance -- a G4 Mac with at least 128 MB of application RAM or an 800 MHz Pentium III with at least 256 MB of system RAM. RAM and processing power are the keys to getting the best performance from Premiere 6.5, so try to give it what it wants.
You'll also need a dedicated media drive that has enough room to hold your video files and one that is fast enough for real-time DV playback, which requires a minimum sustained data rate of 5 MB/se. Other requirements include QuickTime 5.02 or higher for Mac users, a CD Rom, and 600 MB of disk space for the installation , and at least a 256-color video display. Premiere 6.5 is compatible with either Mac OS 9.2.2 or OS X v.10.1.3 and with Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 2000, or Windows XP.
It's always nice when a new feature is implemented in such a way that users with older computers still get to reap some of the benefits, so I was pleasantly surprised when I tested the real-time DV effects processing on my G3 laptop, which does not meet the requirements for DV real-time Preview. It did indeed work, albeit at a draft resolution. If the draft resolution isn't good enough on your computer, you can get real-time playback the old-fashioned way -- by adding a real-time video capture board to your system, but before you buy, check out Adobe's list of certified video capture cards available at their website. You'll also need a video capture card to get video into your computer by means other than FireWire.
Playing back DV Back via FireWire can be a bit quirky, but Premiere's real-time DVpreview lets you take control (see figure 2). You can preview on your computer screen only or preview "to hardware" which means it'll send the video out through the Fire Wire and into whatever digital video peripherals you're using. (At press time, the popular Apple Final Cut Pro cannot send out unrendered realtime DV effects via FireWire.)
