Question

PrP 2020 - do these things happen to you too?

Just for the record: these are the problems I have with the PrP CC 2020 (14.0 and 14.0.1). These are known problems, at least I had them untill CC 2018 (mas o menos). 

- losing the cursor (only restarting Pr helps) 

- after the re-start:  Prp takes forever to reconnect (yes it is a large project, but still, 5 Minutes are way to long; and, yes I threw away media cache etc and I allready did import the project into a new one several times allready.GUess I have to do that again - but, common, do I really have to do that every 2-3 days??) 

- playback in timelines with Multicam will not stop playing (and it is a sign, that more funny things will happen soon, so you better start doing ctrl+s more often or, even smarter, restart. 

- undefined is not an object - run script errors, (not only when usi-ng Textgrafics, it started there but right now it just is happening out of the blue and follows everything I do in the timeline)  

 

Anyone familiar with these Problems?

 

Please, Adobe: fix these things

If you really think Adobe broke it and you're not in a rush, and you want to stay on the soapbox then keep going and maybe Adobe changes it?

 

I think as version come out over the years, hardware changes, developers start using the faster hardware. Then new features and advanced video formats and things need more hardware umph... There's an easy solution that is available now... you don't have wait, use proxies. It's exactly what they are made for.

Neither of you had said what your footage consists of, but it's a good chance is h.264. You can be sure that at some point you will want to edit with proxies. They really work great in PP. h.264 footage is tough on any computer whereas Cineform or ProRes proxies are very easy to edit with. BTW: the final footage always exports from the full res files. I use 720p Cineform proxies from my mixed 4k and HD footage. I had to put a burned timecode window in the proxies so I can tell quickly which ones I'm looking at... they are very good.

It is h.265 HEVC footage.  4k, 29.97  I tested these same clips on Premiere 13.1.5.  They played fine.

Premiere 14.0, and 14.0.1 does not play HEVC file as well as 13.x  Adobe broke something in 14.x

h.264 also does not play as well in 14.x as it does in 13.x
