    This update did resolve the issue I was experiencing with GPU effects (specifically "Cross Dissolve") randomly failing to display / render (and instead showing as a basic cut).  YEAH!!!

    It also improved the frame rate issue I was experiencing, but did not eliminate it.  I'm editing 1080p/60 AVCHD video (Panasonic TM700 in 1080p/60 mode), on an i7 870, Win7 64-bit, 16GB Ram, with a GTX 570, and a 2TB 7200RPM WD Black HD.

    I lose frame rate when switching from one clip in the timeline, to another.  On that change over (particularly if it is coming from a text graphic that doesn't require heavy HD activity), the computer tends to drop to a low frame rate.  If I pause and resume the video (this can be done just as fast as you can push the space bar) the frame rate will snap back to normal.

    It does this less frequently than before... now I can continue to edit without having to render the previews... but if I want to watch/review more than a few clips in the time line (~40-60+ seconds of video), I still have to render it out first, or I'm constantly having to pause and unpause the video.  So better.... but not completely resolved.

    Thanks for improving it though!  It is now much more usable that it was before.

    Hi,

    I have updated flash and media encoder with automatic updates of aplication manager, but application manager updates reports "everything is updated" and is not offering premiere 5.5.1 to be updated.

    Why application manager do not show this update?

    Finally I downloaded and installed 5.5.1 update manualy.

    Same here LluisV. 

    Whilst I have decided not to reinstall PP CS5.5.1,  I, too, am informed that everything is up-to-date after updating Flash and AME.

    See this excerpt from the announcement post:

    "Soon, but not yet, you’ll be able to install this update by choosing Help > Updates.

    For now, you must directly download the update packages from the download pages for Windows or Mac OS, using the “Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 5.5.1 update” link."

    Thanks Adobe.

    This seems to have fixed a lot of the issues I was experiencing with AVCHD footage.  Specifically with CUDA transitions (cross dissolve) randomly not working, and playback issues when the playback head passed from one clip to another in the timeline.

    Scrubbing is still choppy, but very much improved.

    I've updated successfully on two computers but one of them needed full reinstall od Adobe Suite.

    It would be nice if you can make your installers "smarter". There are many people having "update not applicable" errors, not just with Premiere but other CS programs. Uninstall/Reinstall is frustrating fix.And yes, I've downloaded proper versions.

    Also, I've reported some bugs few weeks/months ago and none of them are fixed in 5.5.1.

    Some of them are explained here:

    Lord Nelson here.

    I've reverted back to 5.5.0 as I was experiencing lock-up problems with the BM Intensity Pro.

    Unfortunately I haven't found a way of simply uninstalling the update and reverting back to an earlier version.  Win 7 Sytem Restore wouldn't, so I had to uninstall Premiere Pro, apply the Adobe Clean Install utility (or whatever!) and then reinstall PP CS5.5.  Trouble was that it reinstalled the whole suite, not just PP - so I lost all custom workspaces across the suite.

    Grrrrr!

    Don't check the "Remove Preferences" box in the uninstaller, Or better yet, back up your various preference/settings files before an uninstall.

    I downloaded last night without any problems and ran several PPBM5 benchmark runs and I am pleased to say that all the fixes did not affect the performance as far as PPBM5 goes.

    We just found an issue that causes eyedroppers to not work correctly on Mac OSX v10.7 (Lion) when the Premiere Pro CS5 (5.5.1) update is installed.

    Will a patch come soon Todd?  There's no way I can update if I can't chroma-key.


    > Will a patch come soon Todd?

    We don't know yet.

    Note that this issue with the update and eyedroppers is only relevant to Mac OSX v10.7 (Lion).

    How in the world could you release this without fixing the NIKON PROBLEM!!!!!!!!! RENAMING IS NOT THE ANSWER! IT WORKS IN 5.0... WHY NOT NOW??   I am truly flabbergasted if this does not fix this problem as is being reported. What is the explanation???!!! We have been patiently waiting for this fix and we were promised it would be fixed. I am rapidly losing faith.

    Updated to 5.5.1 - now I have audio problems:

    There´s none when running the timeline!

    Workaround: click open a new clip in the project, play in source window - voila: audio is back. BUT, in the seqeunce: out of sync!

    Sheri has hit the high points, but there's some more information here:

    I see Sheri's post mentioning Canon DSLR scrubbing, and yours generically mentions DSLR playback and scrubbing. Is the Nikon issue corrected in this? Looking at one of the Nikon DSLRs...

    EDIT: Never mind, I answered my own question. The answer is "No." Nikon MOVs (D7000) still stutter like there is no tomorrow.

    Bummer.

    Colin, the trick of renaming the Nikon .mov files to use the .mpg file-name extnesion should still work. Actually, it should work even better, since the improvements that affect the Canon footage will also affect the Nikon footage decoded along that path.
