I don't know why they even included this in the big 15.4 rollout...we've been able to do this for YEARS! Right click on clip, go to label, and change the color. Or am I missing something Kevin?

You missed a key point ... this was for Productions work, not stand-alone projects. So yea, you missed something.

In Productions, they were looking at an issue where if someone changed their pref for this, and modded label colors, it would mod them for all others working in the same project. Ticking off other editors royally, right?

So in Productions, you were had limits to what label changes you could do. Which solved the above problem, but created others.

So now ... they're letting the users decide in Productions projects. (And perhaps fight it out within a team ... lol.)

Kevin, hello!
I really want that when viewing in the viewing window, when the frame is cropped, the function of displaying the sound wave is added. Determining the entry/exit points would be as accurate as possible. Now you are flipping through the game head for a very long time to focus the right place for cropping. This function is needed to prioritize the selection of material and display it in the preview window.

How do I get this update? Have tried everything to prompt the update but nothing. Still shows 15.2.

I could really do with the transcribing feature for a project, especially as you removed it from 15.2!

Hi there,

Sorry for the issue. Have you tried signing out of the Creative Cloud app and then signing back in?

Thanks,

Hello - Does the 15.4 update completely remove legacy titles? I'd like to ease my way in project-by-project with the "upgrade" command. But in the middle of too many things right now to take the full plunge. Is it safe to upgrade still?

Hi GD,

No, it's still included along with obsolete video effects and other items you need to carry your projects forward. It's a great idea to ease out of the old and into the new. Let me know if you need any help with strategies for migration moving forward. Only too happy to help.

Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin, hello.
Consider getting rid of the old text already. It's time to make the product more modern and reliable.
With respect.

Finally! By far my favourite feature. Now I can edit away with my headphones and when the boss asks me how it's going, I can just pull out my headphones and play the preview!

JA,
I'll pass along the kudos. This is going to solve a lot of troubleshooting sound problems for everyone, as well. I'm glad of that!

Kevin,

Will Premiere run well on an M1 macbook air and/or mac mini?

Discontinued CUDA and OpenCL support on macOS

As macOS moves towards modern Metal-based graphics, we are discontinuing our support for CUDA and OpenCL graphics.

So first Mac Pro users had to get Radeon cards because of zero support for Nvidia and now this?

It seems older mac hardware is pretty much going to obsolete because of the M1.

Sad day indeed as new hardware costs a small fortune

The same is coming for Windows/Intel machines. Nvidia has been showing off arm processers with RTX 3070 like video cards. A shift in the ground below is within site of the horizon. Might work out that Adobe software is 'as a service' / subscription based as the hardware changes out. I hope that doesn't give them ideas to change the subscription to tie it to platform.
