adobe premiere

[bboy1969]

i bought a sony vaio 7 years ago and came with adobe premiere video editing software but i never had the use to purchase the full blown version for my own purposes. about a couple of years ago, my computers hard drive crashed. replaced hard drive and i was able to recover to the factory setting and its entirety as if i had just bought the computer from 7 years ago. but when i tried editing videos again, every video transition is jittery or you can say shaking or just a real bad transition. even just on just a fade out and fade in video transition. i have uninstalled and reinstalled adobe premiere 4 times but no help. this was not like this before the hard drive crash. help me please somebody. thank you. B

Did you also, get all the driver updates from sony's website? or xp updates? And did you look to see if adobe had a patch or update for the version of premiere you have? do you notice the transition errors just on the computer durring editing? or if you burn a cd/dvd and play on another computer or set top box?

Well you can go to adobe to look for any patches or updates to premiere. You can get updates for xp at microsoft.com, and sony should have any updated driver for the system under support, and look for the model number, or do a search for it and look for any driver updates. Also, if there is a video card, go to the manufacturer of the video card, most likely either AMD or Nvidia. also any updates for the chipset can be got from either AMD,Nvidia, or Intel depending on who made the chipset. You can also download pc wizard from here

and run it and it will give you info on your computer. You can google this info, and look for drivers.

I would attempt the following:

1. install the latest K-Lite Mega Codec Pack and test...

2. not knowing which laptop you have, besides it being a Vaio from Sony, check your DMA settings on the HDD's, to see if it is operating in PIO mode (slow and could be the cause for the jittering)...

The stuttering DVD drive or the lame hard disk

IDE ATA and ATAPI disks use PIO mode after multiple time-out or CRC errors occur

3. since I also do not know who made the HDD in your laptop, I also would go to the respective manufacturers website, download their diagnostic software for testing the HDD, e.g. SeaTools for Seagate/Maxtor or WDLifeGuard for WesternDigital/Hitachi drives... and test that harddrive, which is now "several years" old already...
