I purchased the Adobe Premiere Pro suite several years ago to do videos for a Cancer Childrens program that I started.  "Kids Racing For Life", then I got stage 4 cancer and never used the program much except the first year. Now I don't remember squat.  I would like to get started again but it's been 6-7 years.  Is there a free learning tutoral somewhere?  I would like to at least do some of the basic stuff, I have a good video camera and can take the videos, but doing it my myself, I will need to edit the start and ending of each video, along with intro and exit titles, (I actually remember how to do those I think), what I need help with is the import of the video, and the use of the tools and a glossry of the terms that I can't remember.  If anyone could help you would make an old guy happy. Thank you. RaceRev [Personal information removed by moderator.]  

There are better options for your Chromebook than Adobe Rush. It's clearly not a priority for them. Download Linux on your Chromebook then DaVinci Resolve 16. Good luck mate!

Hi all, My video in adobe assets is not previewing, i need my client to be able to play the video in adobe assets without downloading it. Link to file: https://shared-assets.adobe.com/link/c851f606-c834-4a82-7e3c-3d1f0a0ca8c6 Philip

Hi Dev,I just saw this on my Facebook feed  and it made for interesting reading. TLDR is that compared to other video editing softwares out there Premier is the slowest.Here's the article - https://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/switch-from-premiere-pro/What's your take on it please?  And will steps be taken to speed up Premier? Many thanks from a loyal fan and customer, Lu

I'm a real estate agent trying to make cheap reidential walk-through videos and then post them to a web hosting account.  I have my first video, a 838 MG, 7 minute video that I need to reduce the file size. The videos just need to show the property.  They don't need to be high resolution.  What would be a good resolution? Which Adode product should I use?

I am teaching a video editing class and I need to find some raw footage for them to edit. I have some projects that came with the class but they are old and not very good. One project uses footage of a bank robbery that I now learned is for a short film called, "The Heist," but we are missing some of the footage and I cannot seem to find it anywhere online (or hardly any information about it). I do not need the highest quality footage but I do need complete projects, so the students can look at all the different shots and cut them down into finished products (commercials, music videos, corporate videos, short films, TV shows, anything and everything I can find). Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated!

Would just like to know if anyone can suggest the best way to get a good amount of free footage for practicing on Premiere? New to it and would just like to learn as much as possible, thank you!!

The real solution is Final Cut from Apple. Much more powerful and intutitive and you never have to reinstall the entire program because it stops working.

You are a big company, you can solve it - so solve it.To use the excuse that it is difficult to solve is just silly and provocative.You need to prioritize this issue.There are thousands of users with powerful multi-core CPUs with lots of power that are not utilized by Adobe's programs.You will get incredibly positive response from users if you focus on speed and core utilization over new features in next updates - especially with the new CPUs currently being released.Right now, it is becoming more and more annoying to have more and more powerful computers - which are well utilized by other software - while Adobe's programs only exploit a fraction of PC potential.

It takes me an hour to get into premier pro Im so sick of it. It just will not open,.it takes several tries and i just hate it..that is why i cancel 

The video compares Davinci Resolve to Premiere Pro for real-time playback. You might find the results interesting.https://youtu.be/Nbm0t_gtRWE

I've been an Adobe user for 20+ years. Mainly on mac.  First off, I have to thank Adobe for giving me an amazing career in the creative field. Everyday doesn't seem like work because I'm loving what I do. and using Adobe's tools is whatgets the job done... but that's the thing, getting it done. It's hard to get it done when Premiere and After Effect crash and crash and crash. Autosave not working when it says "it's trying", then loosing a ton of "creative choice" work in even a 20min time period. Why release an update with issues like this? More serious testing needs to be done on the new OS systems before releasing updates.  I know it must be difficult to make programs like Adobe does. But please Adobe, stop making huge updates to your programs every year. Fix the crashing that Premiere has had for years & years. A lot of people I know are abandoning Premiere and moving to Davinci, cause of its stability and speed. Now Davinci is even including a new

Sorry but can't find help forum for Encore. Has adobe droped this now?

Some time ago, from experiencing down time from PP bugs, I alwasy complained to myself and told myself, some day I'm going to rid myself of Adobe Premiere Pro. Well, yesterday was the day. Premiere Pro is not working again. Not going to go into what's wrong, it's just not responind, severly lagging, play head won't move etc etc etc. Not to mention the hours and hours of down time and having to still pay for it, I am over Adobe.Am now looking for an alternitive. If you are in my shoes, what NLE would you choose and why?I've heard Avid is a good one. I don't have a mac so FC is out. What about resolve?  Seriously pissed off Rick

Did any of you ever take Film History when you were in college? I did and I absolutely loved it. Please link to your favorite film school films.

I just here to "troll" the adobe team to share my experience over the years... Because of covid-19 i've got some free time and I have saw that there were a few update fixes since the october release of CC 2020... So I have decide to update premiere and..... IT CRASH AT THE FIRST LAUNCH... so I know that a video more than 3 minutes will still be an pain in the *** to work with.... Might have a look resolve ... And by the way the sync settings still not work it didn't find my workspace etc....

Hey,  I would like to start a discussion:  Why is there only one Premiere Pro Forum for everything and every language? To me this makes no sense? At least we could have like: englishspanisch chinese as main languages.  What about sorting MacPc out , that would help a lot! I don´t have the same problems than someone with a dell computer and windows 10, or do I ?  Then there are different tasks: 101 for people that are new Editing Effects/GraphicsAudio CC  Sorting by purpose: Image VideoSocial Media DocumentaryMusic VideosMulticam ProductionsLive  There are people that edit film in premiere mabe its nice to have this sorted because it demands different skills and workflows  And maybe the people that collaborate with other people are the next groupthat has special needs (like TEAM USER ) I don´t know....What about the other people here? seem

Is there a site where there is free epic music for commercial video? I need music where I don't have to worry about whether I can use it for a project. I have to be allowed to do everything with the music.

I feel like a time traveler trying to create ancient media for ancient clients.  Thanks Adobe for completly trashing ?"  Are you insane!  That was a decade ago.  Mistakenly trusted the cloud and my $52 per month subscription for all Adobe software.  Yes I knew it wasn't updated or supported.  Yes I thought this was incredibly ignorant as billions of people own DVD and BluRay players and enjoy watching this media with a remote control button. I didn't count on Adobe delteing it and then refusing to provide me with the program to reinstall.  They provided me a trial of Ppro 6 or somethning which had it bundled.  It worked for awhile. And nd then it didn't.  and now theres not way to get it to work on Catalina.  Super!!  So.  When  I figure my move to Vegas or DeVinci it will be bye bye jerk faces at Adobe for $52 a month!!!   Mod note: Title changed to reflect actual issue

Just received an email from Adobe saying that I have earned not one but three separate Badges for my Contributions. This is rather odd but not when it is Adobe, since I retired five years ago and since then I have posted very little. i do note from occasional none contributary visits that ptobkems still abound, so why not save yourself some cash and migrate over to Da Vinci Resolve which I did and use most of the time now. The plus side is that I still occasionally use Premiere 5.5 and as I have never subscribed to Premiere CC which is £20 per month here in the UK I am well in pocket with saved subscription costs. good luck

Hi All,   I'm putting together some online courses that I plan to sell. I've purchased the licensing for stock and read the agreements, but I can't find a place that says if it's okay to use licensed images in the sale of online courses. Does anyone have any experience in this? 

Well I've been using Adobe's much adorned 'Premiere Pro CC' and have to say I can't wait to get back to using Apple's Final Cut X. I downloaded the trial version of this to my Mac Book Pro to help an organisation who happen to be working with PP - they've had no end of tech issues with this programme. Overall, I'm finding it slow and 'clunky' I hate the continual rendering procedure. It lags when playing any high-res material. I appreciate this is a program used extensivly in film/television but for the life of me, why are there so many ways of performing the same task. I'll be removing the trial from my Mac Book Pro and Imac - FCX is so straightforward in comparison, performs exactly the way I want it to and renders in the background, making work much quicker. Sorry Adobe, I think the CC package is over-priced. 

The following is a podcast I can recommend: Art of the Cut: “Coup 53” Editor Walter Murch, ACE     Trailer   Thanks, Kevin

I have just noticed this in the BBC delivery spec when using UHD footage:    For images acquired at 50 frames a second vision mixer cuts and edits shall occur so that the startof the first frame of the progressive video pair is aligned to the start of the first (upper) field of aninterlace video signal as defined by SMPTE ST2051.   I presume this is to cope with converting to interlaced HD. Does this mean at 50 FPS we should only edit on every other frame? ( a bit like the field sequence on quadraplex VTRS for those of you old enough to remember!)

I've been using Adobe for years including Captivate, Photoshop , and Premiere.  I have a fantastic laptop with quad core and enough RAM I shouldnt have to struggle EVERY SINGLE TIME I EDIT A VIDEO. The lag time is horrible. It stutters and audio plays along while video is stuck in a repeating loop. Actually, I've had this issue with Premiere on my past 2 laptops. I just can't take it any more. Adobe has forced my hand and I'm going today to purchase a Mac with Final Cut. I've read forums where the same issues I've just laid out are being experienced on the Mac OS as well. I refuse to pay yearly ad infinitum for software that makes me want  to scream every time I use it.  I just came to say my peace even if just 1 person sitting in a coffin-sized cubicle at Adobe reads it
