Question

Premiere is finished

unless Adobe totally restructure the entire way the app functions, otherwise many are going to move to Resolve.

Premiere performance is diabolical in comparison to Resolve.  This latest Nvidia GPU update is too little too late, and no good for Mac users as I have just switched to AMD from Nvidia so I have native Mac support.

I have a Vega 20 Macbook Pro - 32 gig of ram and the fan goes on Premiere even when I am LOADING THE MEDIA CACHE...!!

On Resolve I never hear the fan on the Mac - plus I never hear the drives clicking away, which they always do on Premiere. The play back on Premiere is really really poor - and I have a top end machine and fast drives and I have tried every fix in the book.

When I switched from FCP7 the change was relevatory, but ever since them the performance has dipped.

I started on Media 100, cut on Avid, FCP until 7, Premiere and now I'm going over to Resolve full time.

I've seen the GPU upgrade but really Adobe need to do a complete re-design of all the architecture if they want to compete.

The main issue with Premiere is that it's not 'professional' enough. It still feels a bit pro-consumer. With Resolve you feel like this is a professional set up - to hopefully match the quality of films I am making.

There are so many great things about Premiere, but the updates and the performance has let it down and I cannot go on any longer. And I am a 30 year NLE user.

Just thought this might be helpful.

Fans are still running and its still 'loading'...creating billions more PEK and CFA files clogging up my drives...

I hope even more radical restructuring is on the cards, and I constantly have the 'shall I switch to PC' question lurking in the back of my mind...

    As you say nobody has the same issues, switching to 14.3 and 14.3 Beta I can now run the Puget extended test that would, for me, not run on 14.2.

    I will try uninstalling and reinstalling 14.3. I did the update in place, without uninstalling 14.2 first.

    Not everybody has the exact same problem. Myself, I updated from 14.2 to 14.3, and now the PugetBench now crashes in mid-run every time I tried to run the Extended preset. The crashes occurred during either the 8k RED 29.97 part or the 4k Cinema Raw Light 29.97 part of the test run. It did, however, manage to complete the Standard preset run.

     

    Switching from the 442.92 Studio Driver to the latest 446.14 Game Ready Driver did not fix the problem.

     

    I might have to revert back to 14.2 until the bugs in 14.3 get fixed.

      I'm on PC using Nividia and the "x times faster" GPU claim is quite laughable for me at the moment. I now have to do everything on Software only, slow settings becuase they messed up the GPU feature. I phoned up, spoke for an hour, shared screen etc... no fix and no promised call back yet. It's all well and fine Adobe making these bold claims on speed - we can all make bold claims without fully testing them.
