Mac Os Sierra & Premiere Pro CC 2015.3

What's the current status of Premiere on Sierra?

Is it 'safe' to upgrade to Sierra? (I'm on 10.11.5)

Are people still having issues?

It seems that the continuous crashing of Premier Pro under the Sierra OS has been fixed in the latest Sierra update. Hope I haven't spoken too soon but no crashes since the update. Fingers crossed

There is no valid excuse for failing to implement and manage proper version of all Adobe software.  Calling any software a "release" and then stating that "it is not recommended that it be installed on the latest Mac OS" is just mismanagement.  Someone at Adobe should have kept the software in beta state until it was reliably running on the latest OS from Apple.  Proper version management precludes any other alternative.

By failing to professionally manage versions, Adobe had put the many thousands of its loyal users at serious risk because they have misrepresented their products and consumed much time, trouble & reputation among those loyal customers.  All other professional software makers will clearly state all of the current issues and keep their software in alpha and beta stages until all of the remaining issues are reasonable.

An Adobe representative posted this in an earlier reply:  "Unfortunately, the onus is on us as video editors because the craft is very hardware intensive, which makes our applications highly susceptible to OS and GPU driver issues"

Unbelievable!  What that statement is really saying is not that this software is hard on computers but rather, that this software is hard for them to write and manage.  Software can be managed regardless of how "hardware intensive" it is.  You shouldn't excuse a complete and obvious failure to catch enormously problematic bugs in your software development process.  Nor should you attempt to transfer responsibility for that disaster to the end user, blaming them for somehow picking a career that actually uses computer resources. Yes, your software would be perfect if we were all golfers.

You should revert the 2017 version to beta, or possibly alpha status and immediately release a statement and provide a public bug management forum so your customers all know exactly what the status is and what progress is being made. Shortsightedly faking a release to generate sales only generates irate users and reduces the long term ROI of your products.

If your users are getting fired because they don't make their deadlines while struggling with software that wasn't ready for prime time, then you sell fewer copies, don't you?

If you can't do these things for ethical reasons, one would think you might do them for economic ones.

Hi,

If you are still experiencing issues, please try updating Premiere Pro to the current version.

Thanks,

I had the same issue when switching to 10.11 Adobe does not care for the customer to have issues like this answered in an orderly fashion. It's been to the point where I am calling back and wiping the drive clean. I have been editing since Premiere Pro 1.5 and have never had to call for issues until December 2015. I haven't updated to Sierra because I already know there are going to be issues with it. With their current update I was on the phone with support for 4 hours because my company was not able to edit clients videos for 3 days and they refused to refund, help find a work solution or care that they are wasting time going through 4 superior tech advisors to which I heard them in the line because they forgot to mute the line saying they have no idea what to do. So I made my own work around which is very frustrating and they decided to say that they were "happy to help me by fixing my issue" which they didn't. This is beyond carelessness from  company as big as adobe. Not realizing that they are stealing money from customers that can't use their products that they are paying for. We are currently switching to avid and avid has already said that they've seen a spike in switches with adobe customers complaining about this.

after literally trying 10 times and threatening to pull my subscription if they couldn't help, they connected me with a 4th tech support person who could help me with a temporary work-around.

it turns out you can get your renders going if you turn off the open CL and CUDA in the rendering.... hope that helps anyone who's been screwed by this nonsense.

Unfortunately I downloaded Sierra too. I'm contemplating going back to the last os but if I do I'm going to use a lot of data. Is there any indication as to when this problem will be fixed?

I'm all of a sudden experiencing similar issues. Premiere Pro's latest version isn't working with OS X Sierra. I can't play back any footage in my timeline, it just lags and stutters around. I'm working on a Mac Pro (Late 2013) 3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5, 32 GB 1866 MHz DDR3, AMD FirePro D500 3072 MB

I updated to Sierra late last week. Edited just fine through the weekend but this week starting on a new project it won't let me work smoothly anymore. A 30 min video takes usually about 6 min to render and it started at 8 hours today.

RameezKahn mentioned in an earlier post of an evolved issue of memory loss. That kind of describes my issues.

How could I downgrade my Premiere Pro to an earlier version?

yeah, i echo all the above concerns.

The other problem is, you can't just roll back your  entire operating system for ADOBE, because other apps that have actually updated their software won't work with older versions of OS. Adobe, you really need to get on this, because I'm mid 3 projects and can't get anything to run, on deadlines, this is not very 'Pro' at all...And doesn't Premiere mean to come out before anyone else? Not so Premiere or Pro...
