Is Premiere going off the boil?

Hi there,

I began using Premiere about three years ago and it was a revelation but more and more I am being beset by problems.

I have to go the forums more and more, and its just not working like it used to.

Could be my old mac (2013 macbook pro) but here is the most recent one - they are not system problems, they are software problems.

I updated to the most recent Premiere and Cuda driver - and then Cuda just dropped off the project settings list.

Then I got a another update from Premiere but this didn't fix it, and I had to go back to my 2016 Cuda driver which works fine, but my forum post didn;t solve it - had to trawl other posts.

I'm spending more and more time trying to fix problems and make Premiere work, which is not what I want to be doing.

Does anyone else feel that Premiere is not working as smoothly as it used to or is it just me?

Thanks

Rupert
