Questions

Is this an update? The only functionality is to create a new project file that is not compatible with the previous version just to screw the user, since there is nothing in the implementation that justifies this. Have you seen what a davince resolve update looks like? It has fast masks, a scene stabilizer that works on slow clips, an audio filter FOR REMIXING MUSIC. adobe: we have a new skin.

I have been editing for 30 years.I have been editing on Premiere for 12 years.The subscription is not good value for money.In fact its a rip off.We are not getting the developments that £45 a flipping month buys.I am going to work out some way not to give Adobe my money any more.Too much.They ripped us off.

Hi, last update from Adobe to Rush was in 2021. No features has been added. But the sync feature has been terminated. I'm wondering if Rush will suffer a silent death by Adobe. Or by engulfed by Adobe Express.  I'm starting to look around for similar apps with similar simplicity that is working both on a Mac and PC environment.  What do U think? Has Rush become a burning platform?

Thanks! And why does a free software like Handbrake help us fix severe footage problems yet an expensive SUBSCRIPTION to Adobe cannot fix the problem? /2

How dare you not even give us the option to export the project files or sync with our iCloud accounts?! You've destroyed what used to be a great app! I used to start a peoject on my phone and thrn continue it on Pro on my desktop. But now this app is a total joke. And so from now on we have to permanently see a 'no network' error until you guys eventually get round to killing the app? That message doesn't even behave like a feature - you've created a giant bug. This is what is wrong with Adobe. I am so very glad you weren't able to buy Figma. Greedy, incompetent corporates.   Mod note: Your post was branched and moved to the Video Lounge for off-topic discussion.

Chatting with an agent to help me.  They did fine.  At the end they hit me with a sales pitch to use Adobe A.I. to create my videos faster.   Is it just me or does this rub y'all the wrong way too?  I need help, but I get sales pitched during that process?  Bleh. Beyond that, are we now in a serious dichotomy of the marketplace?  Content regurgitators vs. actual creatives? Adobe seems to be chasing the latter.   Honestly, why wouldn't they? To exploit the economy of scale, you go down not up. Business wise it makes sense, but... Actual imaging creatives have built the a visual vocabulary and foundation over the past century in motion pictures, and now A.I. (unethically?) yanks from that database and transfers it to people that are not creatives, but are certainly satisfied with hasty derivatives. "Oh, it's just a tool!" Yeah. It's also a lot more than that too, ain't it? All this to say that this kind of A.I. stuff, along

I launched the new version of Premiere Pro to find a quote "Learn Premiere Pro wih Adobe Certified Instructors" and see a photo of a girl with her blouse undone from the deck down to the bottom of the photo shown here.. Is this the "new" ways of doing things?  

dear community!I’m on the lookout for a drawing tool for a live performance. I’d love to be able to draw a simple sketch with my graphics tablet, reacting to a live performance. I know, that After Effects might not be the right platform, but perhaps you have an idea what could be the right app.I want the drawn line to fade. Suppose I were to draw a spiral, then this spiral would dissolve again starting from the centre when I reach the outer circles...   I’d like to be able to regulate after which time my drawn line starts to disappear, already after 1 second or only after 10 minutes…  So I guess, what I am looking for is a kind of reverse function for the drawing process.Does anyone have any ideas?I’d be over the moon if you did!Cheers!

The meaning for Mask in Cambridge dictionary is FACE COVER. But in Pr if a shape or text is in a mask only it is visible. Why is it called Mask?  

I rarely write any comments but this new bad update made me that angry! I have 3 main things to say here.   First of all, the interface is a fully worse now. Why should I have to unwrap every setting with a clip like motion, scale, opacity - everything separately. Why the hell is it close by default?? And with every new added clip I have to unwrap everythin all over again!    The second is optimization. This is the worst. With previous version I could place sequence marker anywhere and the the preview image would change instantly regardless how fast I do this. Not it doesn't change at all so to select any moment fom the video I have to place it then play the video for the new frame to load on the preview screen, then pause and do all over eagain, every time to select a frame! This totally kills the speed of work.    And the last is about bugs. It didn't even ask me to confirm the update. I have auto update disable and for previous week it was asking me if I wan

This is a gripe about too many bugs not a question. I am fed up with the bugs in Premiere.It is so bugged that I have to quit and resart over 3 times an hour due to screen panes going to white when I resize, or change the workspace or even open a project.  I typically quit and restart for every project start or reopening. It's terrible software.  In the last six months I've been on the phone with support dozens of times for hours. Theyare very nice and seem to get things fixed but the problems return. Today was my last straw. The popup window at the start of Lightroom, Photoshop, and Premiere has pissed me off.The box, "Expand your toolkit with Creative Cloud All Apps" that has a box for "Do not show again" is BS. It always pops up. And as a twist of the knife in the back if I go to "Upgrade now" it says "Error: Plan unavailable".  Even the popup is buggy. I have downloaded two other video editors and will spend all day tomorrow studying them and going through tutorials.

Since Arabic transcription isn’t supported in Premiere Pro, I’ve been manually creating captions using other apps and then importing SRT files. This works, but it’s an extra step I’d love to avoid now. I’m thinking of trying a plugin that can generate Arabic captions directly inside Premiere to streamline my workflow. If anyone here has experience with third-party tools for Arabic transcription, I’d love to hear your recommendations. Which ones work well in Arabic with minimal errors? Any insights would be really helpful! 

Another good reason to leave from adobe

Send this by snail mail / FedEx, etc. to the CEO and VP of Products at AdobeNeed to elevate this "out of band" to get any attention.Also suggest contacting your favorite press and media that write aboutAdobe. Nothing in the press at all about this.I bet some bad press / pr will suddenly elicit some public statements fromexecutives, not in-the-trenches product people that seem to not care?

Wow what a great piece of software, where you cant render orginal lightning in a video without reading for two days on the internet to find a solluion.   Mod note: Response was branched and moved. The title was changed.

I'm 42 and quadriplegic. I did editing on Final Cut Pro 4.5, and want to get back into it. I earn a living through disability, but will have to discontinue it once my work status changes. I don't want to turn that off until I'm sure I can replace that income. I have nonlinear editing experience and lots of time to learn. I have no plans to profit at moment, and when doing work for anyone (even free) I'll be giving Adobe their monthly sub. I'm to old to qualify for a student discount, and $30 a month is bit much not knowing when be able to turn a profit. Is there any way I can affordability and patiently learn the software?

The support is the worst I've ever encountered. It's almost felt like they are intentionally irritate you.Slow and delayed response without answering your questions.Keep asking/selling for irrelvant products while I'm seeking help about my current product (first time encountering this non sense)Not able to answer my questions and in the end...END THE CONVERSATION just right away after throwing some random response, without confirming with customer whether the problem is resolved. 

I honestly find it hilarious that Adobe employees keep nudging us to upvote these issues when they know good and well that years of upvoting has resulted in zero changes as well as zero acknowlegments on highly voted topics such as "background auto-save" which has 528 votes and not one response from the team. Shame on Adobe for sending us on these useless wild-goose chases.   Mod note: Branched and moved to the Video Lounge so the off topic discussion can continue here and the main topic can remain focused on gathering ideas and upvotes for a new feature. Title was changed to reflect the issue. Thanks.

Welcome to walled gardens! Buy a new computer, and then you can pay for software you don't own AND use it! Because you know, these reason you can't just download an old version, or update your OS is to protect the public's experience of the product. Can't have you unable to find support for something a decade old, and it would be terrible if for some reason your version didn't have all of the changes that the new version does. After all, they worked real hard on that and lots of investors clapped.   Really though, there is a reason I don't suggest this combo to my friends and colleagues. Having two ecosystems which both limit versioning in different ways is a fast way to get your workflow nuked. The fact that you lose access to things you've previously been able to have is also a crying shame. I'm still on CS6 because perpetual lisence, and it's running faster and smoother than anything AE 2017+... and I suspect it"'s half because my computer is a 2017, and because adobe software

It definitely feels like there's a lot of Adobe side excuses being made tojustify taking a feature away that a lot of people needed in service of yetanother addition that most people weren't asking for. Adobe sometimes feelslike a company that is amusing itself with new toys more than servicingtheir userbase with long LONG requested but not headlining grabbingfeatures.

Is it possible there could be some formal separation on this site between devs and user only forums? A lot of replies here boil down to "this is a user only forum, don't expect adobe employees to help"... and then sometimes they just pop up and say "oh yeah we worked on that a little a while back" and leave, and honestly for a subscription, it's insulting that neither the support lines have been able to help me more than once from a dozen tries, nor have responses in forums worked to solve more than half of the serious issues I see brought up.    Many discussions are about hardware choice or tips and tricks, or troubleshooting, but things like bug reports, asking adobe to support international standards, or answers to why certain parts were coded in certain ways or discuss alternatives to RAM preview, should be in a "developer response zone"  where devs can give context to why things are the way they are at least.    I mean only the first 30 seconds of this. Th

I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro 2025. My first video is supposed to end at 00:01:43, but it keeps going, showing nothing but a black background. I set beginning and end points by pressing I and O. I used a razor to cut and delete the "phantom sequences" that displayed in my Master sequence.I asked ChatGPT for help and it referred me to an endless list of things Adobe Premiere apparently doesn't have - Sequence > Markers, Sequence > Work Area Bar, and on and on. I can't find any of them.Is there another software program I can import my video into and trim it?

Is it possible to pay for Premiere Pro one time, and own a copy of the program with life?   [Title edited for question clarity and future forum search... Mod]

Subject: Proposal for New Adobe Feature: Transcription & Text-to-Video Integration   Dear Adobe Team, My name is Antonio, and I am a documentary filmmaker who regularly uses Adobe's Frame.io in my workflow. I’m reaching out to propose a new feature or plugin that could greatly enhance the filmmaking process: a Transcription and Text-to-Video Tool..   This tool could allow users to generate accurate transcripts from video footage, and then use the text to identify, tag, or even create video sequences directly from the script inside Frame.io. Such functionality would be particularly useful for managing interviews, narrative alignment, and editing processes in documentary filmmaking.   Mod note: Your title was changed for search purposes.   Additionally, integrating this feature as a plugin extension that works seamlessly with screenwriting software like Celtx would add incredible value. Filmmakers could directly connect their scripts to video footage, creatin

My guy, the most stable release I ever had was CS3. worked like a charm, no memory leaks, fast as F1, and I could render 2K, minute long comps in minutes in a $400 high school computer lab. Multi-frame rendering did reduce render times, and it scaled well with cores, which is why people loved it.... then they took it away... and several years later they gave it back... and it wasn't as scalable, and even puget benchmark had a note on that, under why they no longer recommend high core counts. https://www.pugetsystems.com/solutions/video-editing-workstations/adobe-after-effects/hardware-recommendations/ for those who don't want to follow a link:"After Effects used to make great use of high core count systems (including dual Xeon) but starting with AE CC 2015 most tasks no longer benefit from having a high number of CPU cores. This is largely due to the fact that Adobe removed the “render multiple frames simultaneously” feature in part due to the fact that they are starting to integrate G
