Proxy improvements

New features for proxies, like badges and watermarking

Premiere Pro 22.5 has a few new features related to proxies of note: proxy badges and watermarks. These features assist you with visual cues as to whether you have proxies enabled or not. 

• Proxy badges in the Project panel and Timeline: Proxy badges in the Project panel and the Timeline show you a quick visual cue if proxies are enabled in the UI.
• Burn-in option for watermarking proxies: You can now automatically add a burned-in watermark for proxies. You no longer have to customize an encoding preset to add a simple watermark. The watermark is seen onscreen in the Program Monitor if proxies are enabled.

For more information, see:

Proxy Workflow improvements

Support for RED V-RAPTOR camera

• Paste Insert to Same Track

• Paste to Target Track

• Paste Insert to Target Track

Hi Debra,

Does everything work better if you transcode or create proxies, or do you have the same problems?

Thanks,
Kevin

I do have proxies for most of the media but when I've checked the box "use proxies" when exporting, I still get errors. Weird, huh?

[PeterCorbett]

My new Mac Studio Max is constantly crashing when I try to export in Premiere Pro 22.5.   I have the base model with 64g ram.   The export will reach a random percentage during the export then hang.  The whole computer has to be cold-boot crashed to reset.   Same thing happens each time.   The files are standard ProRes422 from a DJI drone.  

[Michael Grenadier]

try running it in rosetta (the intel version).   What are your export settings?   You might try "smart rendering."

It's never easy to troubleshoot these sorts of problems remotely and I have no idea what your level of expertise is with both the mac and premiere...  so don't think I'm talking down to you..  and sometimes there is something obvious that even an expert can miss...  but here are a few questions and troubleshooting steps you might take and if I don't go into sufficient detail, post back

Create a new user with administrator privileges in system preferences:  users and groups

If you're running any other programs, try doing a restart and do not launch anyother programs...  

Try disconnecting from the internet/network.

If you've got a second display connected, try disconnecting it

And have you tried queueing your export to Adobe Media Encoder?  

Can't think of anything else at the moment...

But if you want to continue to troubleshoot this problem with our help, please try the above in a systematic fashion and let us know if anything helps or if you see any change in premiere's behavior.  

[PeterCorbett]

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

Since the update to 22.5 any HD timeline with nested sequences is giving me huge troubles. I almost cant move the cursor around, zooming in zooming creates lags of seconds to respond.

In 22.5 a 6k ProRes timeline works okay, but when I select the HD timeline in the same project the whole of Premiere Pro reacts like i'm on a very very old computer.

Reverted back to 22.3.1 and the same timeline works like a charm, i can move around, it plays back etc etc. What can be the cause of this?

I'm running into a bunch of issues. When I add an image to the timeline I can't select or move it once I've dropped it. I can't even click on it. I can't drag time indicator thingie either.
When I try to create a new sequence and go to change the settings under the Settings tab all the options just start scrolling down on their own when I hover over the fold out triangle. I can't click on that either. 
Everything just seems to be responding really slow or not at all or just to things on it's own (i.e. what I mentioned above or the fact that it just starts to play the sequence on it's own). I'd love to get some help with all this!

Is there any ETA for V22.6?   This version is so buggy and going back a version or two only creates other problems.  Are we looking at days or weeks until the next patch release?

Hello! I am having issues installing premiere pro. It keeps giving me error code:183. Any help? 

[stephen256183891ok6]

Arent updates suppose to make the programs better and easier to use? It's astonishing adobe has found a way to make this program worse... The lack of awarness with the team behind this program is so real. Why would you add steps for me when trying to slow down my audio in sync with my footage. Who is running this show?

there's always a balance to be acheived between making the program more intuitive for a new user and keeping the established userbase happy...   Apple thru their fcp7 userbase under the bus...  and I haven't forgiven them.

Great update to the essential graphics panel. One thing I would love to see is being able to import text files into the essential graphics panel. This would be extremely helpful for VFX editors who need to name shots/sequences and use database applications like Filemaker to make txt files with shot codes/names. Being able to import a text file into a timeline and have everything land where they need to with the text style chosen would be amazing.
