Dear Neil, Thanks a bunch for taking you the time to pour out all your wisdom.   I, too am an experienced colorist and editor and everything you write makes total sense for me. Thank god! So as I am entirely aware that no devices look the same, and even though first thing I do when visiting my parents is to turn off all "Color saturation X-Treme" or "Dynamic ULTRA range smooth motion" settings on their TV, I know I can't turn that off on the entire populations devices.   But what I am addressing here is a change that is a bigger difference than that, and that is more relevant to newer challenges. Hear me out: So first the symptoms: I see a lack of depth in colors and a pretty apparant hue shift when rendering from Premiere and check on my iPad and phone. I did the same as well with DaVinci, until I realized that most gallery apps on phones, and Instagram actually reads video in sRGB and for whatever reason, setting the color tag to P3-DCI seems to do the trick. Now, with these settings applied the video's look deeply saturated, vibrant and with no hue shift across iPad, iPhone, Android and my laptop. Sure, now we have the "every display is different" but it's negible.   So, I said I was a pro, too. And that is true, but in my career I have mostly worked on commercials - mostly big fashion brands - that exclusively are shown online and on devices, via Tik-Tok, Instagram, YouTube, etc. And here this issue has been an enormous challenge time and time again. Often when projects are larger, premiere projects are then conformed into DaVinci for grading - but often times - like now, I work on a personal low budget project and would rather not deal with that.   I hope i made it all clear what my troubles are.   Oh, and yes! i downloaded the beta - it does crash a bit - but I saw the options and tried some renders. Unfortunately you can't really choose any output gamma tag and color space tag - at least nothing other than ACES and the rec variants. Right? ... View more

I have an absolutely beast of a machine, and im not able to playback anything from the new Canon R5C. It flushes the memory in no time and force shut downs premiere. Heck, i even did a clean install of windows to make sure it was not my computer.... im going nuts   ... View more

Same here for me. It's unreal frustrating and like you, I tried multiple attempts with customer service and it's always the same generic answers that fade out into nothingness. I have no idea on how to REALLY get Adobe's attention. I suppose the company is just too big and don't care   ... View more

did you ever find a solution? i have been struggling with this FOR YEARS! edting 8k RED files with a 2080Ti card and if i do a minor curve adjustments with lumetri, the vram just spikes until it's depleted and then black screen until a restart. It's unbeliveable  ... View more

Thank you for the suggestion! I tried with two different projects, but it just does not work. It does appear that Premiere for some reasons reads from the server in a total of 3(!!) different ways. \\192.168.1.2 <- IP Address \\server1 <- SMB path Y:\server1 <- Mapped network drive every logic in me tells me this must create some confusion in the system. I was able to copy one project in it's entirety to a hard drive and to open it. So this tells me if I am just able to disconnect all media in a proper way I might have a chance of making it work. It is so strange to me that making "Media Offline" does not work. The project still freezes when trying to open it. ... View more

Hi Jim, No it is not a Team Project. We just have access to the same server drives and have shared our projects like that for years. ... View more

JIm and R Neil, thanks for the replies. It does however blow my mind, how Photoshop and After Effects does not require to run an SDI out to an accurately calibrated reference monitor ($$$$$) to get an image to trust on your web devices, and I have been incapable of that being the only truth there is. ...

dear taylor, so... in the end, did you end up returning it? i am very much in doubt how to handle this situation. i have so many problems with this laptop when it comes to hardware. for instance: 5tb seagate external hard drives, does not work as they see the laptop as a "tablet".the same did a adobe supporter tell me, that premiere would perform very poor on this machine, as they also classify it as "a tablet". so now i have my editing software not working, hard drives not working - all the aspects of making a super high end edit machine, is failing - and i bought this for exactly those reasons. but did you have any improvements upgrading to 1803? ...

i have all the same headaches as you! and i really wish it would be a more fluent experience. right now this brand new SB 2, that i thought would be an absolute beast in terms of edting, has proven completely otherwise. RED-Cine X for RED footage is not working with it either... and lumetri color make the graphic card crash all the time, almost as getting confused on what card to choose and it all just crashes. ...

Hi Neil! it shouldn't be overclocked, as i exactly avoided the OC'et versions - bad experiences in the past with that. My main issue is that I never really had it going. It's always been a struggle to get the 4K out. Now I just monitored the card and it just steadily fills up the RAM until it crashes... ARgh! ... View more

yes it changes nothing. i just paid attention to the GPU memory, and it just climbs steadily over 10 minutes of rendering until it crashed when it has used all memory! anybody had that? ... View more

the day where adobe just take it slow with new features after features after features after features, and try to fix there software's machine room - that day, will be a glorious day and i will stop having sleepless nights. ... View more

Thank you Jim. Amazing news to be honest, because it is so darn slow with MRQ. So for now and in the future I can just leave it off? Great news. Do you still insist that two pass is obsolete? I will do a side by side comparison when i'm back from my travels. ... View more

I noticed that I've seen some small glitches and banding disappear when using two pass. Can't that be true, or is just me playing tricks on my self? we often scale and move around our 6K footage, and I have this idea that maximum will make that scaling quality better. I will do a side by side comparison, but can you explain why the options are event here in the first place if it really don't make a difference? It's confusing to navigate in software where there are options that are actually obsolete. No? Oh the struggle. ... View more

Thanks for all the answers guys! The system right now is right beefy, and I suspect the only weak link to be the GPU - especially now when AME gives the error code related to GPU every time. We do mostly edit in 4K sequences, and output to HD. Honestly I gave up trying to output to 4K because it's a 100 % fail these days. At least with 2-pass and maximum render quality turned on. And, the GTX 970 only have 4gigs of ram, so perhaps that is the short coming? Bill Gehrke​ thank you so much! i will do that next time I am near my workstation! super excited to see that result. ...

So that would require me to copy the files over in a new folder, right? ... View more

struggling with this as well... Only option is to render out without Maximum Render Quality, Maximum Depth and disable CUDA. I'm on a GTX970Ti with 4gb ram. Honestly I am so sick and tired of this. How hard can it be... Why dosn't Adobe give hardware suggestion for hardware that REALLY works, and then make sure that it REALLY works after each update? At my company we have 15 different builds, all getting error after error after error and weird bugs all over the line. Soon tears will come of out my eyes of desperation, honestly haha ... View more
