Effects Hollywood FX & Pro 2
wayne greensill - 11:31am Nov 4,2006 Pacific
Hi there
Can anyone help me with hollywood fx with pro2.
I have managed to install Hollywood fx with premiere pro2, I understand Pinnacle do not support Adobe anymore, so may not be compatiable.
The problem i have is the when i drop the effect to the timeline, and preview the effect i dont get the crossover from video 2 to video 1, i only get a black background, the next scene does not show.
I hope you can help me.
Regards
Wayne

Which version of HollywoodFX? My version 4.6.7 works without problems. Did not find it worthwhile to upgrade to a more recent version however.

Hi there
I am also using version 4.6.7(34)
Could it be something to do with the plugins as i had to copy a plugin from Hollywood Fx into Premiere Pro 2, to recognise it.
Thanks for the reply
Wayne

Just make sure they are installed in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0\Plug- ins\en_US directory and their extensions are renamed to .PRM. This applies to both the FL and

I cant remember off-hand what the original extensions were, but you must RENAME the files, not add .prm , you have to change the extension from whatever is was originally to PRM. Maybe you have to reset your plug-ins by pressing SHIFT+CTRL while starting PP.

Try updateing the driver in your video card. I had the same problem using videoFx and this corrected the problem.

have hollywood fx gold 4.57 and it has always worked for me. I did not have to rename the plugins at all as they already have the .prm file ext. i double checked this just now. Look in the pinnacle/hollywoodfxgold/hostplugins folder. Fx-5Hfx4GLD.prm

You are using the wrong plug-ins. The plug-ins to use with PPRO2 in Hollywood versions 4.6.1 and later are the plug-ins designed for Edition. They can be found in the Edition and
EditionFilter folders under C:\Program Files\Pinnacle\Hollywood FX 4.6\Host Plugins created when you install HollywoodFX. They are named respectively HfxEdt46.vfx and Fl-HfxEdt46.vfx. They should be copied to your PPRO “Pinnacle” plug-ins folder (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0\Plug-ins\en_US\Pinnacle) and their extension changed from “vfx” tp “prm. Remove any other plug-ins from that folder. In PPRO2 the 2 videos should be on the same track.
BTW the GOLD series of HollywoodFX was designed to work with Premiere which explains why Phil did not have to make any change.

I do not know if that will be of any help, or not.
Good luck,
