Your first mistake was in "upgrading" to CC2017

So, your first mistake was in "upgrading" to CC2017.

Your second mistake was believing that Premiere actually cares about catering to "power uses". Adobe is the new Apple; if they can lockdown the consumer market, nothing else matters. When was the last time your nephew needed to "manually kern" by using "keyboard shortcuts" while cutting together a zero-budget Power Rangers fan-short for his grade 8 comp-tech class?

You don't know how badly your post makes me want to hit "correct answer" and be done with it.

Those are not entirely unfair assertions.  We've seen Adobe's limited resources spent on a number of 'features' recently which don't really add anything useful to long time, professional PP users, but instead cater to FCP switchers and YouTubers with no education or training in video production.

Derjis,

Off topic. Branched and moved to the Video Lounge. Please keep your comments focused around troubleshooting in the standard Premiere Pro forum. Off topic comments are better made in the Video Lounge.

Thanks,

Kevin

Wait--so Adobe staff have the time to wade into my thread begging for Adobe's input--and they choose to throw a user into the penalty box for a month old comment and then jet off?

You can't be serious.  You're proving his point.

Hello Cloud Disaster,

Thanks for the post and the curiosity about my position.

Part of my job is to maintain the forums and prune discussions that go far off topic. This assists users searching on certain topics moving into the future. That's why the work is done--to prevent others from asking the same question again.

Sometimes it takes a month to actually do this work.

Thanks for understanding.

Kevin
