The Adobe staff should be well aware that people still need to capture old VHS, Mini DV and HDV tapes. We still need full Firewire support in 2021. Adobe should know many people still use the Old Legacy Titling system and sill need to create DVD/Blu-ray discs.  ADOBE does not care what the users want. They only care what the programmers want.

Dear Zeesy,First, I'm a designer and not supposed to be a technician!Second, like others, I'm saying (millions of times) Adobe earns millions of dollars we're scratching the mouses dying by the monitor, spending hours for trying to fix these surprisingly appeared problems and at the end I open the iMovie or 3rd party programs and finalize in simply way.It shouldn't be like this.Adobe should hold this problem for millions of customers.Making this short, what you suggested I did several times. Sorry doesn't work!I think I erased premiere pro! Does Adobe care? I don't think so. Adobe and Apple are in the same bucket. They are far away from solving problems. They use the user's platforms and chat rooms where people research solving their pains. Does it right @Zeesy? Tell me!

Good morning.I have a bit of trouble creating small animated videos for internal email communication as well as social media. I use after effects to create the animations and export using media encoder. The file sizes for the final  products are generally above 100MB, all at 30fps. Using the media encoder to reduce bitrate reduces it only to an average of 20MB depending on how big the file size from Ae is. Then i reduce the videos further online to about 7MB. The quality is not bad but also not great. For email, they require a maximum of 1MB for distribution in the organisation. Is it possible to get the video file sizes that small and still maintain crispt quality?

Man im not sure how Adobe id it but.. They managed to make this WORSE over the years instead of better..  Bye Bye Adobe.. You just spent your 9th life with me..Its been fun. You shouldve gone back to just selling us the software instead of make us spend year after year after year for a product that goes deeper in the toilet year after year after year..  adios

Hi, are you interested in Adobe Premier Pro bounderies (almost no boundaries), thru an animated music video I recently made for a band?https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=mytra+exogen+(animated+video)All video effects (as far I remember except one)  are applied by Premier Pro tools with penettrated however easy work. The support team also helped me in issues, which were mostly generated stupidly by me and the limits of my anyway advanced (i7) processor and almost best video procesing. But oit's still a home desktope. There was always a method to solve. Good to know.Regards, Winci

best editor will be getting award tonight and will fun to watch the whole thing ( broadcast ) for me.I like the film biz even with all it's imperfections over the years.this mssg will get moved by monitor cause it's not about editing with PPro. It's more like a social thing.?Who knows... maybe telling stories or expressing oneself is somehow related to the ease of using an editing program to finalize the product for distribution and enumeration ?  

Yup, same for me.  I'm inching closer and closer to leaving Adobe every single update. If I have to relearn node based compositing and switch to Fushion or Nuke – I'll do it just to leave Adobe and their crappy quality control behind. 

Hello! I need to be able to stop playback of a video hosted in Scene 7 from a click on my web page.  Basically, the video opens in a modal window on this web page.  If the user starts the video and then closes the modal (which basically sets `display: none;` on the modal), the video continues to play even though it is invisible.  As you can imagine that is kind of a strange user experience.  I'd like to be able to stop the playback when the user clicks the button that closes the modal. Is there any way I can do this?  I guess I could do something like remove the video frame from the DOM altogether, but then I need to add it back if it's missing and I might run the risk of a condition where the modal loads without the video.  It seems cleaner to just send a stop command to the video. Thanks! Jeremy

Learn how the new Quantization feature of BeatEdit for Premiere Pro and BeatEdit for After Effects makes your beat detection even more accurate. This feature is added in BeatEdit 2.1, which we published today, and it is available as a free update (for users of BeatEdit V2 for Premiere or BeatEdit for Ae).       If you didn't hear about BeatEdit for Pr before - here is an overview:    

Since Premiere 2021 has now been released, Premiere 2020 can no longer be updated at all on Mac OS High Sierra - even updates for 14.x that are compatible with High Sierra. Premiere 2020 14.0 was originally compatible with Mac OS High Sierra 10.13. Later updates for Premiere 2020, up to at least 14.5, continued to be compatible with High Sierra. But during the lifespan of Premiere 2020, apparently Adobe changed the OS requirements, so according to the current release notes versions of Premiere 2020 released after 01/01/2021 now apparently require Mac OS Mojave 10.14. It looks like the December 2020 version 14.7 should still be High Sierra compatible since it was released prior to that date, but I can't be sure. This seems to have now cut off High Sierra users from getting ANY updates to Premiere 2020. For example if you have Premiere 14.0 and want to update to Premiere 14.5 on High Sierra, you cannot do so through the usual means of updating through Creative Cloud. On High Si

OK, I am used to working on projects by myself and this the first time I have worked with an editor, so......... I have a friend that made a short film. He is doing the editing and coloring. I am doing the VFX. He works from his home and I work from mine. I am trying to figure out a workflow solution where when he gets an edit done at his house and then he can send me a file to work on the VFX. (He shot the footage in 4k S-Log.) Most of my VFX elements are files from places like Action VFX, or Video Copilot. (they are not in a log format) Does my friend need to color grade all the clips before he sends them to me? What is the best way to get just the clips that need VFX from his Premiere files at his house to after effects at my house? Is there a way to set up a color profile that we can both use so we are in the same space and he can then grade after VFX are done? What do I need to export out of AE so he can easily replace the clips in Premiere? And finally, if you know of any workflo

The American Cinema Editors announced the nominees for the 71st ACE Eddie Awards, which will be presented during a virtual ceremony on April 17 at 11 a.m. PT. 'Minari,' 'Trial of the Chicago 7' Among American Cinema Editors' Eddie Awards Nominees. Who will win at this years Eddie Awards for top editing for feature films? Read more here.   Personally, I'm rooting for Kirk Baxter. I think "Mank" was a super cool film. I'm also rooting for Rob Komatsu for best editing for features presented on television. Rob is a colleague from Avid Boot Camp back in '97. He'd already assisted on "Twister" with Michael Kahn by then, an all film workflow. Go Rob!Which movies caught your eye as an editor in 2021? Let's hear from you.   Mank and Adobe

I had the same problem as you have with Rush. I just uninstalled the programme and installed a programme that has the surname of a famous painter and the word resolve in the name. Haven't said it because I don't know the t&c's of this board so don't know if promoting non adobe products is allowed. However I used the free version and it seemed to be alot better than Rush in my opinion. Still love adobe for photoshop (not so much lightroom) but the Rush product is definitely lacking

As a someone who makes videos for a living, I love the level of innovation that the team at adobe is always working on. I love the constant new features being added to make my workflow faster and my editing experience intuitive and pleasant. I would trade all the new features from 2017 till today for a stable version of Premiere Pro. No amount of innovations can justify instability. I need to know when I hit render, why video will render all the way through. I have had to review my videos to ensure Premiere Pro did not render the frames in my video in the wrong order or that the video plays all the way to the end. For a "professional software" this is beyond unacceptable. I think I speak for most of the people here and say "We will never leave Premiere Pro for a missing cool feature here and there but, unreliability is a sure way to usher us out the door"

I know this probably isn't the best place to ask this question.But I'm just curious, what are most people's go to F Stops for different situations? (eg. F.8 for Wide) I'm doing some travel videography soon and I just wanted to build a better understanding around faster and more effient ways of shooting, without wasting too much time.  

Hey. Just wanted to put this out there. I just spent five hours of my live, that I will never get back trying to upload a simple video to Tik-Tok. The problem was that every time I exported the video, it was recorded at like triple speed. Not the video. Just the audio. So after hitting the forums since 8am. And trying a bunch of stuff on my end. I ended up downloading a program called shotcut. It's free. (so you don't have to rent it from adobe). And guess what? It worked... On the first try. So instead of wasting your entire morning trying to figure out something that should just be intuitive for a service that charges $50 a month. I recommend trying some of the free ones. They're far superior.  Thanks for wasting my time.... A former customer. 

Does anyone use timecode userbits or has its functionality been taken over by file meta data. It the old analogue days it was often used for recording recording date and it would also take a second timecode stream, useful for music playbacks.

General question about video hosting services:Does anyone have suggestions on alternatives to Vimeo or Youtube? Vimeo keeps playing bait & switch with features and I am about done with their buggy new player. Youtube is not the ideal place for my corporate training videos.Looking for an easy way to post simple Spark or Rush videos without the mindnumbing hassle of resetting presets (vimeo is driving me nuts with preset resets).

Each next Pr version is slower than the previous one. Adobe are deleting my uncomfortable comments about this, it proves again that their programmers has low skill and Adobe is not going to do anything about it.  

So sad...someone sent me a 15 second 8K raw clip from the new Canon R5... Premier Pro would not play it at all.  Then I put the same clip into Resolve and it played like butter!  Adobe...keep up the good work. This is 2020. Its on the same computer...Resolve handles it perfectly and Premiere Pro - no matter how I change the setting, just sucks!  How is this a thing??You occasionally ask me how you could improve Premiere. There is ONLY one answer if you're a real editor - ands the word is PERFORMANCE. 

Here's what I think about the Adobe updates: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro/premiere-pro-perfomance-all-versions/m-p/11910410#M335846

First off, I have been with Adobe for over 20 years since the inception of Premiere Pro. I have always loved the interface and its features. But… throughout the last 7 years I have struggled with instability resource-hogging issues like the majority of the users and clearly, Adobe refuses the memo. The tech department refuses to acknowledge the application is the problem but oddly enough as I have been using Resolve more and more lately it seems to glide right through projects without an issue. So is the problem my “32GB Ram Solid state drive 3700X AMD GTX 2060” or Premier Pro? Well the issues only happen when using Premiere.🤷‍♀️ My Office will most likely continue to use Adobe since its what the industry considers a standard, but just like Blender 3D did to pull customers from the 3D tycoons like “Autodesk” Adobe is next. Tighten up and remember you did it to yourself. ✌

Wish there was performance improvements on Mac OS Big Sur software to catch up with the other major editing software providers offering multi-core optimization for high core counts. This is the missing piece for Adobe's Premiere Pro.

Because poor Adobe is a teeny-tiny little company, who can't afford to pay someone to benchmark every single card on the market! And then I guess, they would have to post those results on their compatibility page, (oh God! the humanity!), so that people like myself, who have are fairly new, only having started using it in earnest back in August of 1995, (Brother theodore voice) ,would be able to check your list against the prices...without having to read anything about GAMING.  Your customers, literally, by the thousands, have been pleading for this for 20 years!  Un. accepatable. So for you marketing majors, this is one of those Edsel or New Coke case studies, speaking of ancient news, this is how, inexplicably, Final Cut Pro got started.  Then inexplicably, Apple applied the same logic with Final Cut X, which put Premiere back on top, through no fault of their own.  I guess it's almost time for the poles to shift again. just look at all the new sequence pre-sets f
