Hi, I'm looking at switching from my old 2012 iMac to a new macbook pro as I'm a video editor for a small TV company. if i went for a a fully kitted out 15in model i'd be looking around £6500 which i cannot afford, but i also don't want to get a basic model that won't be able to run all the CC programs and have slow export times. We are mainly editing 30 minute shows at 1080, rarely anything at 4K so could anyone point me in the general direction of what specs I should be looking at for a mid range model that wont break the bank but i should get at least a good 4-5 years with no slow down issues on. My budget is around £2000/2500 Many Thanks Neil ... View more

Hi, I've just upgraded from only Adobe Premiere CC (2017) to the full CC monthly package, yet every time I go to open a project / or open Adobe Premiere now I get the application manager telling me 'Just validating your licence' then' Please wait for a moment' and I get a spinning wheel that just hangs. Looking through the forum I found this old message which seems similar to mine though I'm on Mac not PC - - Old message Just wanted to notify this community of a potential bug I've found which others might come across. Adobe CC was refusing to give me access to start any apps for about 2 weeks until I finally got it fixed by a support technician...turns out that because I ended a subscription so that I could change the payment method, the system was still trying to validate my license against the old subscription, which had expired, so I kept getting a message saying I needed to renew or activate my license. It's obviously a fault on Adobe's part with their system. This was seriously frustrating because I had no idea why it wasn't just accepting my current valid subscription and letting me in. If a support technician is trying to fix a validation loop on your computer and going through all the Adobe cleaner tools and nothing is working, suggest they completely remove any expired subscriptions from your account...''' Any thoughts Thanks Neil ... View more
