Hello Everyone. I have Bunch of DSLRs, such as Canon 80D,90D,5d MarkVI. None of these cameras have Peaking, Zebra. and other features. I heard If I install Magic Lantern you can have Peaking and other Video Features. Also, I heard this Installation can Damage your Camera Is that True? Thank you very much.

Hi. I'm not sure which forum to post this in so please move this thread if appropriate.  I work primarily in After Effects, Premiere Pro, and VDMX (which is a live visual effects program), as well as Photoshop, Illustrator, and Animate. I also teach these programs, which these days means operating them while also livestreaming my screen and being live on a web-based video chat streaming myself as well as seeing student's screens. I enjoy working in the Mac environment, and have been saving money to purchase a new MacBook (I need portability). The new 16" 2019 model seemed to get good reviews and I was planning to spec it out. I was aiming for the 2.4ghz 8 core 32gb model with the upgraded GPU. I was assuming that would be powerful enough for my needs. I seem to have the most trouble when using After Effects and would like to be able to do more. My questions are:- With Apple's move to ARM based Macs how smart is it to invest in a new Macbook Pro right now? - Wil

Apologies as this is more a rant than a request for help...I am fulltime filmmaker but only part time editor.  I got myself a new state of the art, high powered PC 4 months ago with the latest Premiere CC on Window s 10 and it is utter crap!  It is so laggy that even watching proxied footage on 1/8 resolution stick and stutters.  I keep having to go through the same process- i tell tech support, they take over my computer, they spend 20 mins checking/deleting/setting things and the computer will be running fine (not well enough for me to view 4k footage in my timeline, but well enough that at least the proxies work) but within a few weeks it gets worse and worse to the point where i have to go through the procedure again.  I am really at my wits end.  I have been paying the monthly subscription to adobe for 4 years now and this is actually the worst their system has ever been.  Ive never been closer to switching to final cut...Sorry for the rant, thanks fo

Can the general viewing public tell the difference between these three formats?

Hello , I will be working on a project this summer , a movie for raising awarness , So I needed a movie editing software , so I was wondering if you can help me out. 

I need help please.  I can't see the video on my external monitot.  I installed the latest driver and when I click on Desktop video setup, I get an error that syas "No desktop video device detected".  I use a PC.

Hey Guys, Need some advice and suggestions please. I'm basically trying to re-create the effect that Comixology does, where I can create artwork for a comic strip, then zoom and pan to different panels. While it would be pretty easy to create this effect in say, After Effects or Premiere, I'd like the functionality of being able to click or swipe to move back and forward to the next panel or the previous panel.Ideally, it would be great to be able to export something to an android/iphone too.Can anyone suggest some adobe suite software capable of this? Or some combination please? Thanks. 

I'm truly hating the new 'grouped' icon colours.  They bring nothing in terms of recognition and make finding the right app harder when working quickly.  It's a problem that wasn't looking for a solution and makes my dock a worse place to be.

I am made a feature film and shot in 24fps and when I go to burn the file, it drifts slightly out of sync. I know blurays are not exactly 24fps but rather drop frame 23.976p. Thoughts? I use Nero to burn.

Just wanted to express my frustration with Adobe.   I purchased CS3 back in 2008 and it works perfectly fine. But when I've reinstalled it on my new computer it asked me to reactivate it. There is some kind of bug that when I try to do so, it says no internet connection; but I have one. I tried to use the phone option. Numbers don't work. Tried to get help from Support Live Chat - Completely Useless; they only tell me that it is no longer "supported" and the like. But that is total BS. Why they heck did they put this STUPID Re-Activation forced feature? Idiotic!!!   Adobe essentially blocks us from using software we purchase and just wants to force us to buy more unwanted stuff. This is THEFT. Criminal.   Shame on you Adobe. You only care about profits and screwing us little guys. Way to go. You'll definitely be 'Company of the Year'.   Keep counting your millions you make by screwing us little guys.   Pathetic!   Will never buy or use your crap again!

Adobe, your "answer" of File --> Close Project frankly sucks and is borderline condescending.   BTW - FCP is/was horrible.  There's a reason why people prefer Premier over FCP.  Can we not be like FCP?  Thanks.   Moderator Note: Post edited. Please do not condone the use of internal editing tools. Thank you.

Adobe, I want my money back.  I'm working on a feature documentary and you have cost me many days of troubleshooting.  See my other posts.  You shouldn't be able to release a new version until people working on large projects with varied media verify that it will not break their projects.  This has happened with PP2017, PP2018, PP2019, and PP2020.  Get your act together. Sticking with an older version is OK, until you have to work with other editors or the latest OS doesn't support your version. 

unless Adobe totally restructure the entire way the app functions, otherwise many are going to move to Resolve.Premiere performance is diabolical in comparison to Resolve.  This latest Nvidia GPU update is too little too late, and no good for Mac users as I have just switched to AMD from Nvidia so I have native Mac support.I have a Vega 20 Macbook Pro - 32 gig of ram and the fan goes on Premiere even when I am LOADING THE MEDIA CACHE...!!On Resolve I never hear the fan on the Mac - plus I never hear the drives clicking away, which they always do on Premiere. The play back on Premiere is really really poor - and I have a top end machine and fast drives and I have tried every fix in the book.When I switched from FCP7 the change was relevatory, but ever since them the performance has dipped.I started on Media 100, cut on Avid, FCP until 7, Premiere and now I'm going over to Resolve full time.I've seen the GPU upgrade but really Adobe need to do a complete re-design of all the ar

As we've all come to realize in one way or another, the best way to solve this problem is to use Adobe less. You'll of course lose your effects, but if you can't output, it's not like you can actually utilize them anyway right?   As a final work around, DaVinci Resolve imports xmls, and is free. Just search for Black Magic Design DaVinci resolve. No promises this'll solve your issue per se, but free option is free; you'll only lose time (that you'd likely be using fruitlessly troubleshooting premiere) trying to find a real solution from a company's product that clearly isn't focused on solving your issue.   Best of luck all, I'm all ears to other solutions.   /rant incoming.   brand new computer - workstation level power, mid level, 4GB usable quaddro card - same problem. I'm in the enviable position to cut ties with Adobe later this year. This was the last straw, for all of Adobe's programs. Already can't wait. Lightroom = slow as a dog. Illustrator = for my purpos

You know how sometimes you read a book that is sooooo good you wish it was also a movie ? Of course some books just should stay books cause they cant be improved by being a movie. But given the right treatment etc sometimes a really good book can also be a really good movie.Most good books that get made movies have to introduce characters or voice over or something so that what characters only ' THINK TO THEMSELVES ' in the book can be delivered to the audience of the movie.  Thats kinda tricky.Anyway, this book I'm reading now would be a great movie if it could be treated well re: the above problem.It is " The Mouse In The Moon ".  It's the same author who wrote " Beware The Mouse " and " The Mouse That Roared ". The Mouse That Roared got made into a movie ( I think with Peter Sellers in it ? ) and was hilarious.The Mouse In The Moon ( copyright about 1962 ? ) happens after the mouse that roared...Grand Fenwick ( a little country started by some wayward Englishmen back aroun

is this a joke? We are in 2020, supposedly, premiere should work better than in 2003, but it doesn't. Premiere Pro (2020) sucks, very much.

Hi everyone. Although I have owned it for a long time, I am relatively new to Adobe Premiere and editing sound. I only have the 5.5 version. I imported video clips from my iPad (on my PC, not my Mac) and there is a lot of background whitenoise (air and reverb). The room is a dining room with a wood floor and I can't reshoot the video.  I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to properly edit the sound parts of the video to clean them up. I've tried using the Denoiser, but ti doesn't really help much. I've also tried doing research and every article I find is in a newer version of Premiere.  I had to increase the gain on the video, because the sound was too low. I used the Audio Gain and Normalized the audio. That helped a lot, but then it made the ambient air sound worse and the reverb worse.  the Does anyone know how I can edit this sound to make it not sound like we are in a hollow room? I appreciate your help. Thanks.

My audio is not working during playback in the Premiere Pro. I even went to AudioHardware and tried to see if I could get the sound working. Unfortunately, I only see one setting. We did not do any software updates to the computer either so I'm not sure what happened. 

I know this is primarily a support forum, but here’s a bit of musing for fun. Hopefully this type of discussion on these forums is allowed, if not I apologize. "Is Premiere Pro due for a full code rewrite?” By no means am I saying this is an easy task (on the contrary it’s probably the hardest thing for any software company to do), and by no means am I stomping my foot and demanding it. That said, I do think it’s a fair question to ask. Unless I’m mistaken, Premiere Pro’s last full code rewrite was 2003. A lot has happened in 17 years, and while Adobe has done a good job of expanding upon their foundation, there are some artifacts that I feel are the result of hanging onto the dated foundation. Rec 709 and the changing video landscapeIn 2003 Premiere Pro (and all NLEs I guess) were primarily used for broadcast and cinema. YouTube wasn’t even created until 2005. The landscape of digital video production has changed drastically since. Not everyone using Premiere

I recognize this isn't, really, a Premiere question. It's for a Zoom forum. But that doesn't exist, and Zoom's support is mediocre at best. So I thought, in these quarantine times, someone on this forum might have encountered the challenge I face. Any help appreciated. I am trying to capture HD footage in Zoom. I'm on a Pro account, so in theory I should at least be able to record 720p. I have: 1. Selected Group HD enable in Zoom's settings2. Selected Optimize for 3rd Party Editor in settings3. Tried recording both locally and to the cloud. None of these seem to work. The recording always ends up at 640x360. If anyone here has experience recording in 720p on Zoom, I'd love to get any and all advice! Thanks, Geoff

Its been more than a few years since I haunted this place.  Looks like its had several refurbs.

Which Adobe Creative Cloud app can be used to capture/record a video on the computer screen - i.e. a webinar?  I thought there was an app called Captivate that did that, but it's not on my list of apps.
