Mountain Lion (Mac OS v10.8) upgrade improves performance and stability with Premiere Pro.

Be sure to check for drivers for third-party I/O hardware and such, since such drivers often lag the OS release.

Hi everyone, new to the forum. I'm on a mid-2010 Macbook Pro i5 8GB RAM using the Creative Cloud, mainly Premiere Pro CS6. So, last week installed Mountain Lion (probably a mistake) after I read that there were no issues with Premiere. Well, since then whenever I launch CS6 the purple Premiere art pops up and I get a spinning beach ball every single time and the app doesn't respond. Worked perfectly before ML install. I have called Adobe 3 times...no help. I have done clean installs, cleared preferences, tried on new admin users. No luck. I'm not super tech and sure I did something wrong, but if anyone has any words of wisdom, I would love that. Thank you all. Let me know if you need nore info on the issue.

I'm glad to hear that CS6 is up for performance and stability improvements.

Upgrading on an editing system (especially one that already works) is a risky move. I used FCP 7 on 10.6.7 for a LONG time, never went to 10.6.8.

I put ML on my personal laptop, but will wait a month or more before putting it on our primary editing machines.

I upgraded to Mountain Lion Today, everything seems to be working okay, but, I had already installed 6.01 update for Premiere Pro, but, after Mountain Lion upgrade, Adobe Updater saying that Premiere needs to be updated to 6.01???, I checked About Premiere it shows it is 6.01 --- anyone else find this?

Will try restarting later and see if it's an indexing issue, but wierd. Kinda hestitant to install update, did that with Lion and kernel crash was the word for the day.

Had the same experience. AMA asked to install 6.0.1 again.

In other news, I don't find a single improvement to stabilty or performance. There is now a new bug where video will stop playing and audio continues. This is related to the new 5.x CUDA drivers, as this didn't occur with the previous drivers.

This release continues to dissapoint. Its my sincere beleif that I am better off in 5.5.2, and Adobe should go out of its way to allow for reverse compatibility - even going so far as to create a translator between the two. I honestly wouldn't care about losing Warp Stablizer or any of the other so called "Feature" improvements. I am a professional feature film editor that took a chance with CS6 for this film, and it has been an absolutely terrible experience.

You guys should try a fresh Adobe install over the new OS update.
