Okay, so we're asking for Adobe to invest in implementing optimization for high core counts. How can DaVinci and FCP utilize this, but not Adobe? I hear it's a long list, it's not that easy, etc. If this was prioritised to begin with from a managment stand point versus a "hey, let's wait and see where this goes" then you are left behind and criticised for the lack of priority. More features are great, but if you can't be good at the one basic thing the program was supposed to be good at then all the other features are putting lipstick on a pig. It's beautiful, but it's just bulky and slow.

    In case it's not been obvious enough ... over the last 18 months they haven't released hardly any new "features" other than upgraded performance with certain codecs & such ... working on performance/stability/bugs. That's been the main thing they've worked on, thankfully.

    Neil - when your job involves using After Effects full time, now working with 4K+ media and deliverables, and you spend $8k on a 14-core computer to invest in your company to produce better work, more quickly - but realize there has been basically no gain in performance (in fact, my previous quad-core may have been faster) - it IS VERY frustrating.  It's not like people are asking for something that doesn't exist. Clearly others are implementing it.  

     

    I love the whole suite of Adobe products and they've done a great job.  Yet, there's no excuse for not keeping up with the tech.

    A lot of things for the majority of users are faster. The H.264 encoding improvements are very impressive on a lot of gear.

     

    And some things are freaking slower on some gear than they were before. Which is incredibly frustrating. Yea ... but true.

     

    I know a number of folks with spendy new rigs that are flying in both Pr & Ae, but ... others aren't. Not because the developers haven't been putting effort into performance/stability/bugs, though ... but because they haven't got those gains out across the board yet.

     

    No question, there's work to be done. Does your CC desktop app have the 'beta' tab on the left side? If so, please join in the public beta they started precisely to get after things like this.

     

    And give that forum a detailed report of the failings of Premiere on your system. THAT board is monitored by engineers.
