Premiere Pro - at it again!

Not everyone gets the same issues you do, by a long shot. Most of the several million daily users of Premiere been clearly able to install and work away. Are there some bugs for some users? Certainly.

But then, as I also work daily in Resolve, and work for/with/teach colorists based mostly in Resolve, I'm also on the LGG and BlackMagic forums daily. With all the Resolve issues listed by users there. And the complaint that it's becoming "just like Adobe ... ".

I have no issues on my main system with either Resolve or Premiere, both run fine. My four-year old Acer Triton laptop runs Premiere fine, but is such a dog with Resolve that I removed it from the computer. I've know of other users with a nearly identical desktop to mine, where Resolve runs fine and Pr not so much.

There's a ton of variance out there.

Oh, and as color work is kinda a thing for me, I run a lot of different media, including Red, BRAW, Arri files, others ... and don't have a problem whatever with playback from doing pretty heavy color. For Premiere, of course.

Though I can make it do things in color that a lot of others don't think it can. Takes work, thinking, testing, a good surface panel, and a ton of poking the box. And taking things forth and back between Pr and Resolve to check how they match, work, and ... export.
