Since 14.6 update (W10) Premiere is constantly crashing/freezing when :

changing timeline settings
drag and drop clips in the timeline
Add tracks to a sequence
Copy / Paste
Delete a sequence in a bin

I'm not the only one to have this problem (tested on 4 differents computers of my pro wo-workers)

Seriously ?? I've been a professional client since CS6 and I've rarely seen software sink over time... With each of your updates it's the same thing: you add functions that are often useless to the prosumers and you destroy what used to work. Please quickly correct these problems otherwise it would be great to remove the "Pro" mention in "Premiere Pro"

We all pay more than 700 euros a year for your software. As professional users, we hope to be able to buy our peace of mind with a work tool worthy of the name.
Is your goal to disgust your business customers to switch to Resolve or Avid?

Hardware :

Premiere "Pro" (14.6.0 Build 51)
Windows 10 (20H2)

Geforce RTX 2080 (457.30 studio drivers)

80 GB Ram

4xSSDs in RAID 5 (dedicated hardware controller)

Same experience here (and tried trashing prefs/media cahce etc). Beachballs when moving clips in timeline so I didn't get far beyond that. 14.6 is totally unusable.

This was on a current project, not a new one started fresh.

I wonder the same and would like a so called feature freeze, iow stop to add new features that no one has even asked for and fix excisting bugs that has been around for ages to make the software useful and snappy on a new computer.

For example, the latest update has the new Quick Export feature. They have actually spent time on a feature that adds close to nothing since exporting has been available since version 1.0. I read this forum everyday and has never seen someone asking for a quick export either, so it´s a mystery that it came. Yet it´s there and more time will be spent on it.

At the same time transitions are broken in some cases if "Composite in Linear Color..." is enabled and has been broken for years. That should have been fixed prior to adding any new feature that no one asked for. Totally insane.

I see the same thing in other apps from other companies as well. They add meaningless features for each version while known bugs are still there and over time the app become more and more unstable and behaves like molasses. It seems like those companies are obesssed with new features and think that for every new full version there *must* be x amount of new features othervise it cannot be released. Year 2000 most new features were useful and a welcome addition, year 2020 most of the new features are meaningless and just add clutter.

It´s tragic for all users and Adobe is not alone in doing those unwanted moves.

In addition to all the bugs you mentionned, we can't even SAVE properly our projects. Since when hitting ctrl+S has become a tricky manipulation where you have to "save as" everytime you just try to keep your work safe? You tell me. This is just unacceptable to notice that even the most basic functions don't work. Please try to fix this real quick because working with Premier has become a nightmare lately.

Are you serious ? Is that your "professionnal" solution after an update ? Cleaning the cache ? and reset de preferences ? Don't you think we haven't tried all this before? Do you find it normal to have to do this kind of manipulation after an update?

I need to keep all my Premiere Pro settings. I'm a professional user and I can't afford to waste time having to reinstall everything to correct your programming shortcomings.?
