Can anybody kindly say if Adobe Premiere Pro v1.5 will work on Windows 7
Pro x64 ?
We do not wish to buy the latest Premiere edition right now.
The old licensed version was working perfectly on an older Windows XP
Pro PC. It is used for simple editing tasks only.
That PC is being replaced with a new machine shortly.
Hence this query - before we do any installs.
Regards and TIA.

You could check the Adobe forums.

One post mentions it isn't compatible, but without elaboration (which
makes the statement useless, unless we know where the info came from).

(Some kind of sound issue.)

And in this forum, it seems someone got it to work, by using
"compatibility mode" for the executable. There is also the possibility
of doing an Anytime Upgrade if necessary, so you can run WinXP Mode and
run Premiere inside a virtual machine (32 bit).

And compatibility mode didn't work for this person. Gets
stuck at GPUPagecurl.aex .

"It will install and activate, but you won't be able to get it running
enough to deactivate it so you can load the software on another computer.
If it hangs you can remove 3 Plug ins from the Premeire plug ins folder
that seem to make it freeze. These plug ins are GPUPageCurl.AEX,
GPURefract.AEX and GPURipple.AEX this should keep it from freezing on open.
However there are still other problems that arise such as Audio sync problems
and more."

If you could disable "GPU acceleration", perhaps it would ignore those plugins.
Or maybe removing them is enough.

One reason something like that might happen, is the video card usage model
in Vista and Windows 7 is different than previous OSes. There should be
some backwards compatibility, but perhaps Premiere is trying to talk to
the cards a bit more directly.

Thanks for the very informative response.
We shall examine the issues involved but it seems likely that we will
stick on to the older XP machine till we can acquire a current version
of Premiere.
Regards and thanks again.
The links contained very relevant info.

You might also run Microsoft's Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.
Theoretically, it will tell you which of your programs isn't
compatible.

I have PremierePro CS4 on my Windows7 64bit and the CS4 is only 32bit.

I works fine.

It sure uses all the computer resources during the final trancoding to
a DVD though. The i7-970 CPU usage registers as 100%, and the
12GbRAM is up to 50% usage. If you do this all the time then extra
cooling (water?) might be advisable.

And it's the most complicated program I've ever encountered.
