The latest Art of the Cut. "Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise Of Skywaker." An interview with editor, Maryann Brandon, ACE      

Hi,I've started working as a professional video editor a long time ago. I did Avid Media Composer, Avid Xpress, Media 100, Grass Valley Edius, Newtek SpeedEdit, Apple FinalCut Pro, you name it. I know most regedit/gfx optimisation/cache optimisation tricks. Now with Adobe I've started 23 years ago with Premiere 4.2. Yes, it was instable from time to time then. But! From all the systems, only Adobe Premiere remains unstable and crashing a lot, even now in 2019 with version 13.1.5. So please Adobe (this is the kind part). Don't come to me with some invalid reason that it has to do with the hardware. I use up-to-date professional HP/Dell/Asus equipment nowadays. I run different setups, but nothing special than your average user. I tweaked all settings on different systems. There's only one explanation, which I can trustfully conform and hopefully will be recognized by the complete user community: your software is written bad. I cannot bring this more kind or respectful (I appologize

like why the f is this software $239.88 PER YEAR. like no wonders why people pirate your product, its f ing overpriced. like it should be at most $200 and a one time payment, and then you'd prob get more people to actually buy it

Bonjour, J'aimerai organiser un atelier météo avec des jeunes. Pour cela, il faudrait que je puisse réaliser mon incrustation sur fond vert en live. Je sais que c'est possible mais j'ai oublié avec quel logiciel (gratuit, c'est encore mieux), on peut le faire ...Merci pour vos réponses ...

I've been working for this company for about a year now. I do work all around the office and now we have a scheduled cycle of who's going to edit videos(since they taught me the basics) just to bring out some different twist on our YouTube channel. Here's a sample video that I worked on a while ago for your trolling pleasure. I want to know what other add-ons should we purchase to improve the quality of our content. I'd truly appreciate your feedback!

I do some filmhandling for small Film festivals.All these festivals encounter the same problem. Playing files of different framerates.You could use a mac, set the beamer or projector as second screen and use software to play the file. However this does work, you need to set the refreshrate on your mac either to 50 or 60 Hz. This also is the base of time. A 25 fps file plays fine at 50 Hz refreshrate and a 30 FPS fine on 60Hz.But no 24 fps plays ok neither does a 23,98 and a 29,97 FPS file.Also making cues is not always good, and adjusting the soundlevel per files is also hardly featured. Professional software is CueLab, but rather expensive and still not the right timing on the output. NEW MEDIA PLAYER WITH PREMIERE ENGINE?I would love to see timing of sourcefile on HDMI output, so never hickups in pans! (just like Premiere)Cuelist with options of adjusting playback size (reeltime scaling just like PowerPoint).Cuelist with option of Sound level (just like Cuelab)Stills in the

The latest release is an insulting piece of software, clearly rushed out the door without any quality control or consideration for stability. It's unusable. I've downgraded to 2019 and began forcing myself to learn Resolve. It's utterly insulting how awful the 2020 release is. Shame on Adobe.

I've been a Adobe user for as long as I can remember, so naturally I get the general negative experience using the Creative Cloud software. But I am TRULY floored with just how unstable and generally unusable the latest Premiere Pro release is. It's by far the worst thing to come out of the company for decades. It's crashes CONSTANTLY and is an abysmal piece of software. How could anyone be allowed to ship this.  As much as I truly hate to learn a new product, I will be forced to dive deeper into Resolve. 

Hey there, I'm in my mid-50s. I'm pretty old school in the editing game, as are some on this board. As I was writing about my past experience in a post, I decided to put my thoughts down here instead.    Moviola I was talking to Walter Murch over lunch one day (great day!) and he remarked that he was only a handful of people in the entire world that still knows how to cut on Moviola.    As an aside, I just hosted a SF Cutters User Group meeting where Janice Engel was also talking about cutting celluloid on Moviola. She did this little "toe tap" kind of motion or dance. You could tell this was ingrained into her rote memory, as it is in Walter's.    I know that Walter is somewhat interested in doing a short film or doc about those that are still alive that still have some connection to cutting on Moviola. Sounds cool to me! I wonder how many folks reading this post ever cut on a Moviola or Steenbeck?   Super 8mm The first film I got to cut was in junio

Good luck with the new BMPCC4K ... I certainly am enjoying mine ...   Neil

Stability has never been a mainstay of CC but honestly, the latest Premiere Pro update (OS X) in conjunction with the past few years of miserable problems has me looking at FCP-X, Resolve and other solutions for our Production Company - and you can bet I'll cancel my CC membership if and when we do jump ship.  SO — TIRED OF SLOW CRASHING PREMIERE UNDER OSX.Yeah...not posting specs etc because I'm done investing hours into documenting issues that will either be ignored or have changed by the next software release.  Adobe - (or at least other OS X Premiere users) YOU know what you (Adobe) did 😕😕Mod Note: Warning. Do not use profanity. It is against Adobe community guidelines.

YES , i can totally feel and understand your pain. I'm just back from work where I, again in vain, tried to get the CC20 at least semistable to work. Our machines are even on a higher level then yours , but ...no way to get any windowsversion to playback stable without stutters a.s.o. (interesting fact: the OSX-version runs really good now ...just sitting in front of one) Using JKL causes reproducable freezing videooverlays or super jerky playback. And you forgot to mention the most hated issue ...the subscription model ... that , in combination with this totally broken software since 2 years now (since 12.1) , and the behaviour of this only profit driven company was clearly too much for us.   And here is the good part . We / I am in a way more covenient position right now. We quitted / I Left ! (my current investigations are only for technical reasons) We changed everything , and every plan to another product. We are independend from subscriptions and whimsies of salespeople , in

well, I ordered the 4k bmpcc just now from B&H. If you think YOUR ears get red when you hear some of the stuff I say to YOU, than trust me, what I wrote to the friend who sent me the original bmpcc with blemishes on chip is WAY more bonkers.... one of the world's best cinematographers ( really ) ... and I am totally freaked out about this whole mess.   So, now the cleaning thing is moot. I'll shoot full HD and have the xtra good thing of being able to shoot 120 fps. With the latest 15 version of resolve I should be cool with braw, but if not I can go with prores.   batteries, lenses, adapters, cards, should all be compatible. PORTION of full cage on original should fit the 4k.   So that's over.    

Thanks Neil.. what I ordered has 2 cleaners... one for dust normal stuff and one for more serious stuff ( like if it was a DSLR with mirror oil splattered onto chip ). I am hopeful and thank you for info !    

I've cleaned several sensors with a kit ... had both a cleaner solution and a sort of flat or paddle-type Q-tip like tool.   Dampened the paddle, wiped across the sensor a couple times, and it dislodged the troubling gunk or whatever. Wasn't too bad to do.   A friend's cam had a spot I couldn't get rid of as gently as I'm willing to treat a sensor. We took it to a local camera shop we trusted, and they said yea, sometimes things can be kind of stuck. And for those things they had a higher-powered cleaner solution. Watched him do exactly what I'd done, but with his cleaner ... and bazappo the spot was gone.   Neil

Here's a nice solution, after getting tired of Neil's egotism.... and stupid info...   " RESET YOUR PREFERENCES ! "   good grief...   I haven't had resolve crash a single time on a stupid gaming laptop and I'm using BM raw, Log 3, and DNxHD and Prores... and NEVER have problems even though I can only see the source or program monitor at any time, due to small screen size... just can't see both like on my desktop.  But really... I never have trouble with color or something 'darker' than export or any of that junk... give me a break.    

Well, one variable out the window,  which  makes me less anxious.... I swapped out the MFT lens with a full chip nikon lens ( with metabones adapter ) and now that I know where the blemish is, could see it right away on LCD... don't even need to shoot nothin.. .is plain to see. So, it's not the lens...and the chip is it for sure. That makes me feel better... odd as it sounds.   🙂  

2 more days until cleaner and swabs arrive. It's making me sick to stomach ...worrying about whether I can get it clean.   I used this image (put into editor turn on safety ( to have something to focus on ) and make full screen, and it's good for the 'smudge' stuff.. white is OK for dust ( which looks solid black ) but it didn't work for smudge.  

Best wishes on the cleaining. Over the years we've had a couple times where getting one spot of a sensor clean was a royal pita. Thankfully it's not been a big problem most of the time.   Neil

I went to Pratt for art and majored in photography, and being into 'art' there was a certain subtle ability re: being able to deal with color and tone and so on.. you know.. like " art " with a big A The spot stuff were tones and you had to mix it with water as per necessary match... so you used a photo paper to test it before using it on the actual print you were fixing..it's not that hard.. just do it in increments, similar to color and tonal corrections with NLE now.  Don't rush. Test, compare, keep going. Took tons of time though... especially with those tiny little sable brushes that you licked with tongue to get to a pointed brush shape. In those days everything took time and time respected what took time, cause the product was pretty good. I am worried about all the automated short cuts now,, the loss of patience and willingness to spend time doing nice work these days... and that's why I'll stay with resolve 15 cause the next thing is starting to automate stuff to get user

We had staff to do the spotting ... and other print artwork. For over twenty years we had a full bw/color production wet lab to support our studio and the printing we did for other picky sots.   I was horrible at spotting. NEVER once got a spot to look normal. The missus and the art-staff could do it first time every time splat done. "It's so freaking easy why can't you do it?"   Yea ... I could make little circles of dye with a clear spot in the middle. Not at all usable.   Neil
