This might be the worst version of any Adobe app so far.  Why is it SO SLOW?!  Generating waveforms is slow, opening windows is slow, the UI is slow, everything is SO SLOOOOW!

OK

Haha what a pathetic comment. Grow up kid. 

[BibbidiBobbidiBob]

Oh, the sweet irony as this is the exact comment you send to me on a thread before 😄

Seems like you don't like your own childish complaints yourself. You just insulting yourself there 😉

not sure what happened in this update, but saving a file now takes 1 minute (file size 1 mb), waveforms aren't generating and sometimes the whole thing just starts freezing while the video is still playing in the background. i have 48gb of memory so I don't think it's my laptop lol.

[default54w22gptk8xk]

My projects now freeze and dont properly playback video after this update. video playback will freeze but audio still plays. timeline playhead doesnt move. 

plz fix cant do my work with this bug happening, update has some cool stuff but the core functonality at least for me is now completely broken.

what about rotoscoping( object masking) tool is it present in in premier

[ISM238479986wvu]

Hi! I've noticed a small bug, on the export page all the text is really blurry and low-res, but the File Name tab is normal. Also, there seems to be a change to the way the ripple edit tool works but I can't find any info about it. I used to be able to drag the edge of the clip to the playhead, so I knew exactly where I want the clip to end/start. It doesn't behave the same way anymore. Can it go back?

[ISM238479986wvu]

I've also had the low-res text in the text panel with transcriptions and captions. Another bug I've noticed is when loading PP, there's a pop-up that asks if I want to enable the new masking feature, if you continue the program just continually restarts. The only way to use the program is to say no!

I am finding this new update to be very buggy! My cursor will sometimes turn into a weird select all tool in the timeline and try to highlight all the media when I am trying to scrub through. I will have to close out and restart the app. Sometimes the sound just stops working. Very strange and very frustrating, I never had these problems with the previous version I was using.

[ROB ALLEN]

Good day Kevin, 

Is there a way to revert the Ripple Edit Tool to its previous state? Following the latest update for Premiere Pro, I've found that this new method has disrupted my workflow and doesn't work as well.

Please advise if there is a way.

Many thanks,
Callum

My Premiere Pro has been updated to the latest version. Now I can’t open my video projects. Help! 

[Stanley23056129wumz]

Yeah it’s pretty terrible. Audio track mixer doesn’t work. If you try to play your video while you’ve got effect in the mixer it doesn’t work. Even worse it gets to a point where it just crashes if you try to play anything.

Just got contact with Adobe. They told me to download the Beta version till everything gets fixed. Beta version works well.
