The past 2 years I was a pretty happy user of the premiere pro, ae and ps, all from 2018.One week ago my premiere pro 2018 stopped working. There is not even a loading page anymore. The icon jumps 3 times and stops.Premier pro 2019 crashes almost instantly.Premiere pro 2020 crashes almost instantly aswell.No updates work.No "suggested fixes" work.I tried everything for the past week so don't even try to ask if I "deleted the cash files" or "reinstalled".And no, my computer isn't old and weak, I work on a pumped, new mackbook pro.All my biggest projects to date are frozen. I can't finish anything and I'm sick of that.If I got one dollar every time i have a problem with premiere pro i would be a millionaire. And this is disastrous. Adobe, get together.

Hey guys I've been using Premiere Pro from 2018 that worked, well good enough. Now I have a brand new computer, 64GB of RAM, dedicated M2 super-fast hard drives, a new Ryzen processor and the 2020 Premiere Pro aaaand - it's pretty much useless.The performance is much worse than on my previous 7 year old PC and there are tons and tons of small, strange bugs throughout the entire software, not to metion it crashes now and then. I've been testing out Resolve for the past few days for the first time and it's flying like insane on this machine + the user experience design is, I have to say light years ahead so I'm really struggling with staying with Premiere. Does Adobe have a plan of fixing Premiere and seriously updating the general user experience because the damn Resolve thing is free and runs like a leopard on speed? I've been giving up on one Adobe software after another so now I'm just holding onto Lightroom but - what's the company's plan?

I am new to this Adobe world and looking for feedback on the video I posted on YT. Shot on smart phone.used photoshop and Premiere to make this video. Thank you https://youtu.be/PGj5vLozBAQ

I am now using TMPGEnc Authoring Works 6.  If I want to create a Blu-ray disc and use the Premiere H.264 Blu-ray setting, Authoring Works does not recognize the file because the video and audio cannot be combined. The Multiplexer does not combine the video and audio. If I create an H.264 video, Authoring Works encodes the video.  I see no noticeable video quality from the original video.

14.7 contains critical bugs as does 14.6.  I would avoid both versions until these core issues are fixed unless you enjoy watching your work being lost and time ticking away. I think someone at Adobe should issue a statement to this affect and apologise to all users currently 'alpha testing' this bannanaware.

Respectfully, Adobe are going down the same path with PP that Avid did in the early days of MC with Adrenaline. It cost them dearly, because editors hate change, but they hate lost productivity more. It opened the door to FCP. The next few updates are really important. Dont rush them, make sure they are solid.   

I'm getting pretty dam tired of Adobe and it's poor performace, applications stuggle to open, continually become unresponsive and crash on a regular basis. I really am thinking of dumping the lot and finding an alternative. I'm running a a PC i7 Processor 16Gb RAM and 1070 graphics card, I would imagine this should be suffcient to even operate the appliactions. I need a good reason why I should persist. Davinci is looking a lot better.

I have been having many crashed, and time-consuming, effect-erasing bugs with Premiere for a while. I've been using Adobe suite since Final Cut went prosumer. I think maybe Premiere is now doing the same, because it's unreliable and seems to be getting more and more so. I'm considering changing editing software. Is AVID reliable? This is very disapointing and inconvenient.

I have not yet "jumped in the pool" and officially purchased Adobe Premier Pro.  My concern is my current content is on outdated media 8mm, 35mm slides, Sony 8mm analogue, Sony 8mm Digital tape.  I am in the process of convert the 8mm home movies and 35mm slides to a digital format.  I am perplexed that adobe, to my knowledge has no way to Capture camcorder video and convert to an MP 4, AVI, or digital format that is compatable with Adobe Software.  Am I wrong?  The site claims it can capture video from Camcorders, but the Adobe programs, including PP do NOT have this feature. Can someone point me in the right direction?  Very frustrating!!!

HiI installed CC (full) on 2 PCs, and when I started with subscription, wes possible to download ENCORE CS6 as a part of Creative suite CS6.Now is not more possible because ENCORE was removed by Adobe from all download clouds/location.About a Month ago 1 of 2 installation report a SERIAL NR request when Encore Start, but on the second PC it start/works fine...I Contact the SCANDALOUS ADOBE SUPPORT for more and more times from a month to today, because I haven't 24 Digit SN... (i downloaded Cs6 as parte of new CC when this was possible). But "Support team" doesn't says never about this... it's incredible... The last solution is "post a message on Adobe Community"... so Can Anyone Help Me?Hi recovered a 24 Digit SN a specific software, both for Premiere CS6 and Encore CS6 from the PC where Encore works, but both serials are not valid if i try to use them on second PC...How can solve? And if the PC fails or I need to change, how can reinstall ENcore? Have anyone a copy of installer progra

I have a baby picture ( made out of 3 seperate baby pics from iphone vertical ). It illustrates a narrative (v.o.) for about 21 seconds. It's the introduction ( first images) of a 65 second film ( or digital film,, or video or whatever you want to call it ).It's extremely boring.I hate the idea of enhancing stuff just to keep audience aware of something going on ( visual effects just to get your attention ) but in this case I think I have to do it.My problem is I don't know how to do it. Cause I hate that stuff.I know it works ( I do watch football games and the news and tv shows ). But what can I do to make this more interesting visually for 21 seconds ??? The script is below and the composite of the babies with 'find edge' from psd applied ( to make babies more generic ). ========" BABIES LEARN HOW TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN OUTSIDE EVENTS AND INTERNAL REALITY GRADUALLY.AT FIRST THEY JUST THINK MOST THINGS ARE INSIDE.EVERYTHING IS INTERNAL BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW YET THERE IS

I am a growing channel and want to use Adobe premiere pro to edit my videos.

I need your help. I'm an amateur photographer and my hobby is editing photos so for now i'm just learning.

Suggest me some Good Monitors for that. My Budget Is 500$.Thanks

I woud like to learn how to add a green screen to a cell phone/laptop. There are hundreds of YouTube videos that show how to key out and track a green screen onto a cell phone/laptop, but I am unable to find any videos to show how the green screen is first placed on the cell phone/laptop. If anyone has any beginner videos for me to follow, please. advise. Thank you.

I've been working on a project for a month with Adobe Premiere Pro. This morning I clicked on the update of it and medica encoder. It has made it impossible to complete my work because it has rendered completion of the work impossible,    as a 'frame substitution recursion - error' message is coming up a 100 times a minute and it has blacked out footage that has been perfectly okay for the past month. Now Media encoder won't let me convert it to anything courtesy of it's upgrade when the previous version pre upgrade worked with all of the footage I am currently working on. I need to seriously consider quitting my subscription to Premiere pro as the upgrade has rendered it useless, I have work to do and there are other software companies out there. mark D    [Mod:]This topic was replied to the "September 7th Release Notes" thread on the Using the Community board, but has been separated from the post and moved to Video Lounge.

My name is Emily Stuart and I am a Volunteer representative at Cinepsace. I was just looking through your website and found your diversity and inclusion page which is something our production company is very passionate about. Cinespace supports the Victorian screen industry and Australian screen culture, ensuring that it is representative of the broader inter-cultural community. We work to create greater cultural diversity on screen and behind the scenes. We are currently putting together a short film competition online during Covid restrictions to help promote a passion for film and inspire creativity within our community. We are reaching out to companies such as yourselves to see if you would be willing to sponsor/contribute a prize to the winners of this competition. I was just wondering if this could be forwarded to an appropriate contact?

Hi Folks,Looking for a pointer in the right direction.I have footage of a group of people being asked the same questions that I need to put together into a short vid.Although they were all filmed separately, I want to make it look like a Teams or Zoom video conference with the current speaker taking up the majority of the screen with either still or a non-speaking loop of the others in smaller 'windows' to the side so I can cycle through each person's answer to the questions in sequence as if they were taking turns to speak.I can probably do this with lots of cropping and scaling but it feels like that's harder work than it should be.I've had a good search but can't find any matching tutorials or youtube vids.Anyone know of an example out there that I can learn from?

First off I want to point out I have been an Adobe Premiere user since 1999. I want to give adobe credit for releasing the cloud subscription because it brings its products to the masses. That is the good here is the bad. I have noticed a huge increase in frequent crashing explicitly in Premier pro. We all appreciate the updates. But Adobe! You need to start releasing “stable” versions of your software. There is nothing worse than updating Premier and then experiencing 3rd party plugins missing and once working projects start crashing. I always wait till the project is finished before I update. But… when a client wants a change months later I must troubleshoot deleting media cash resetting preferences reinstalling plugins and so on its ridiculous. I can understand a 1 year old project but not 1 month old projects. It’s to the point I will most likely need to look for other editing solutions that you have not monopolized on. I know I am only one person and you probably don’t care, but t

Hello friends.This is my first post at Adobe.Now I am an artist of the soap bubble show, I am here to understand who I can become later!All have a great day! And creativity!

Can you someone point in me the direction of what kind of sounds I can use to sound design titles and text animations?

Adobe is so pathetic! People dump Premiere and go with Resolve. It's free, stable, and highlights what a pos it is!

Sorry Adobe.  You're losing a 10 year customer.  You first enraged me with your legacy Title functionality "update" as it no longer works for me with the workflow I used.  And you pointlessly keep rearranging icons in ways that I have to reorganize my layout.  WHY?  Your locate media option doesn't allow me to select my iCloud and I was told by customer support to change my workflow.  You focus on minutia like layout changes, yet your platform can't support variable frame rate iphone footage, which is HUGELY idiotic when you consider about 80% of humans use iphones.  Premiere has just become the laggy old lady that can't get up from the chair.  It's ridiculous.  I pay you a set amount each month to give me QUALITY products.  I'm better off using iMovie which is free.   I crank out about 3-5 vids a week, so I know it's not me.  Your product is simply getting worse.  In the most general of senses, you have regressed in
