1 and start working with it under Adobe Premiere Pro CS5. Installation:
MainConcept Suite 5.1 can only be installed when Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 is present on your system. During installation the plug-in needs to read some important information from the registry, in order to locate Premiere Pro and to know where to install itself. Typically, you should not face any installation problems as long as your Premiere Pro version is installed properly. But unfortunately, there are cases where your action is required to help the Coddec Suite 5.1 installer to locate Premiere Pro. The installer displays a message that it cannot locate Premiere Pro, because registry information are missing or wrong, and then quits: The installer looks for the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Premiere Pro\CurrentVersion and therein for a string value Plug-InsDir which contains the location of the Premiere Pro plug-in path and also indicates which version is installed, typically: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\CS5\MediaCore This key has been created or updated by the Premiere version you have last installed. If this key and its value are missing in your registry or contain wrong information, this is caused either by an incomplete, interrupted installation of Premiere Pro, or by the case that two versions of Premiere Pro had been installed on your system, and one has been uninstalled recently. Whenever a Premiere Pro version gets uninstalled, the key is removed You can repair this in two ways: - Uninstall and reinstall Premiere Pro CS5, which costs some time, but is the safest way. - If you are an experienced user and know how to edit the registry, then you may create the key and value manually. You have to locate the correct plug-in path of your Premiere installation. There are actually two. Important is, that the value of 'Plug-InsDir' directs to the folder ..\Adobe\Common\Plugins\CS5\MediaCore (not to ..\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS5\Plug-ins)! The first part of the path, in this example C:\Program Files\.., may vary, depending on your operating system's language and the drive where Premiere Pro has been installed. Another case is where you have Premiere Pro CS5 installed together with an elder version, e.g. CS3 or CS4, and Premiere Pro CS5 had not been installed as the last one. The ...\CurrentVersion registry entry then contains the plug-in path of the elder version, e.g.: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\CS4\MediaCore You can fix this by entering the correct path or by uninstalling and reinstalling CS5. MainConcept Codec Suite 5.1 needs this registry information only during installation, so you can set it back to its original value once the installation has finished.
Before you start working the first time after installation of Codec Suite 5.1 Demo, configure Premiere to store Media Cache Data into a fixed location, in order to allow you to locate the conformed audio easily later. Go to Edit->Preferences->Media... in Premiere. In the appearing dialog uncheck the option Save Media Cache files next to originals under Media Cache Files . Then press Browse and assign a location on your disk which can easily be accessed later on. This is also our recommended for the location where you store the project files.
