    Premiere CC won't open with Intel hd4000?

    Thanks Will I'll look into it. I have got it working now, turns out when I migrated everything from my old MBP to my Mini I brought with it the drivers from the nvidia card I had in the MBP, that meant Premiere was looking for an Nvidia card that wasn't there.I have deleted the Cuda framework...

    Premiere CC won't open with Intel hd4000?

    I wish I had, as I say there are no available updates in the drop down menu other than an iTunes one, this means the intel drivers must be upto date and the error message being caused by something else. Perhaps my dual monitor setup is causing an issue?

    Premiere CC won't open with Intel hd4000?

    Thanks folks. I would like to give it a run Will, I would rather have the extra functionality and experience of using premiere(thus furthering my employability) than have the speed.

    Premiere CC won't open with Intel hd4000?

    Hi folks, I decided after a nightmare day with fcp7 (gamma shift issues after exporting that I am fed up of) that I would move to premiere, especially as I have been thinking about tinkering with AE and the Adobe CC monthly package seems a good value when pricing up the 2 of them. I am however...

    Recording interior of car

    The documentary I have just finished had a huge amount of in car discussion. We used a Tascam dr-05 on both myself and the other person with a lav mic on our collars plugged into each. Watch for the seatbelt moving near the mic though, we had some slight issues with that.

    First film finished,what now?

    Cheers Ardeus. As a slight tangent, the film is currently in a h.264 codec and is a 7GB file which is proving troublesome to send to people due to its size. Uploading to youtube says it will take 1500 minutes, what sort of format and file size would the average local festival expect the film to be?
