Video Lounge

Yesterday I experienced a great weight being lifted from my shoulders. After, quite literally, years of suffering beneath the yoke of a certain NLE with which all of you are familiar, I took a giant step for mankind. Here it is: I fired up that relatively new competing program made by dark magicians.Stay with me.First, I read a very short "get started" article. Then I opened the new program, imported a bunch of 4k (repeat, 4k) and commenced to recreate part of my current edit in "the other program".It could not have been easier. I was truly shocked. My deepest shock was that, during my 8 hour session, there was only one crash. Otherwise, I was able to run 4k with zero hiccups and no problems whatever. I was doing dissolves, I did superimpositions, I used Gaussian Blur, I used Glow, I did a speed ramp up an down for fun, I flipped around a 4k four track video timeline with no lag and, as my astonishment grew, I realized that this was the first problem free editing session I'd experience

There's a court filing by Dolby somewhere that has been posted elsewhere. When you are credibly threatened with legal suit by a large company over the continued use of their product in yours, what the heck do you expect someone to do?So ... when Dolby requires Adobe to immediately stop allowing use or access of "their property" ... in this case, coding to process ac3 audio ... do you expect Adobe to simply ignore the legalities of the situation?And ... in that case ... I'm trying to figure out why Adobe is to blame here. Dolby is the company requiring Adobe shut off access or use of anything whatever relating to ac3 in their product (PrPro). Why aren't you complaining to or about Dolby? Would seem at least logical. Or at the very least, acknowledging this is a two-party dance and allotting the blame between them.Neil

I want to recreate a 3d scene with people moving from room to room in a house. What software would be best to use?

It's been a long time since I was involved with broadcast tv, Are title and action areas still used? Watching both the football world cup and F1 all of their captions are outside the safe area.

Thank you Adobe, for still not fixing this unbelievable C200 workflow in your latest update. Other big problems like fixing the Black Magic file workflow still are not solved either. It's hard to work professionally under these given circumstances, everything takes ages and workarounds which makes you lose credit with your client.Just wanted to let you know I'll switch to Da Vinci Resolve for future projects and skip my Adobe subscription because though I love your product, I cannot afford losing jobs because of some unability to fix some basic problems.BestPhil

This is total garbage!!!!Adobe should have gone back to GRAPHICS/TITLE software that works! We have been putting up with re-installing and AVOIDING their title software for over a year. Time to switch to different software and stop paying Adobe $79 a month.Creative Cloud is a pile of unreliable garbage re-engineered by the Adobe Engineering Team from Hell. Paul Rosa

There’s a lot of things I’ve loved about using Premiere over the last ~15 years, but the overwhelming amount of bugs is not one of them. It’s more buggy than any other established software I use on any of my devices - by a long way. It doesn’t feel right to charge a subscription to me when I’m having to deal with multiple workarounds and bugs that really get in the way of my work and deadlines. Why not just test it more? Have a community of beta testers to find the problems before releasing new features to everyone. Most of us would prefer more reliable software than software with experimental new innovations which we can’t rely on for our work. Here’s some of my latest bugs (can your staff submit the bug reports or do I have to?)Thanks Bin window: Search filter doesn’t workhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZHqF-BvelpUtgLESRFh5UXdJVCubs6M6/view Persistent filter (can’t delete it!)https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c_cx6tqeyqg64cLERhQjw7VddNkxMFdd/view Phantom waveforms on audio files: htt

That's awfully good of you to recommend that course of action. I see that you are "Staff". [Comment removed: edited for content].Here's the scoop: you know very well that reporting a bug to Adobe is pointless. I have spoken recently with a developer of plugins who said that there are bugs which he has been trying to get Adobe to fix for 4 years. That's four years.Indeed, the whole Premiere Pro edifice is so shaky that anyone editing other than simple cuts will immediately face never ending crashes. If you plop more than, say, 4 plugins into a shot you will face massive rendering times and system collapse. I believe that this is because Premiere Pro, in current form, is compromised by the fact that it is about 20 years old (possibly more) and the foundation is weak. All sorts of turrets and crenelations have been built onto this castle - including renaming and repackaging it. These changes are simply lipstick on a pig.It is my belief that Adobe is intentionally and negligently selling a

Hi guysI just saw that Sy has been discontinued and is going the way of OnLocation. It's a shame, but I'm not surprised. It seems Adobe wanted this one to die for a long time. I tried to use it several times, but the support and guidance was almost non-existent. It could have been a valuable part of the Adobe's so called creative process for video and related work. The fact it did not tie into other products isn't Story's fault...

Here here ... I so totally agree. Stop messing around attempting to give us new features which turn out to be barely usable and get down to the nitty gritty of fixing the basics of the program ... we all know the issues.And, since there are those who have had some success in reverting to PP 2017, why the hell didn't Adobe tell us about this? I must have called the so-called tech support line a dozen times this year asking about fixes to all the problems other members have mentioned above and never was a directed to revert to cc2017. (Comment removed)We have all wasted massive amounts of time trying to tame this awful program. I know that I spend the same amount of time recovering from crashes and finding workarounds as I do actually editing.And if there is anywhere else on this board to post this message, please tell me - or copy this message over to a different forum.Let me hear from you, please,Harry.Moderator Warning: Please do not discuss legal action or rant on these forums.

I think I am not the only one saying this but.. WE NEED the Dolby codec back again in Premiere CC 2018.I work everyday with DVDs and Blu-rays, importing and exporting AC3 2.0/5.1.

Adobe,I am a paying customer that is becoming increasingly tired of the bugs that you fail to test out before an update is released and it in turn costs your customers their time and their money on projects. You are at risk of losing many customers on here with so many neglected and serious bugs.How can you not already have an update for something as simple and yet crucial as importing image sequences (especially DPX sequences) and .MOV files with codecs like H.264, JPEG2000, and Animation? All of this worked in earlier versions, and now it doesn't?I have contacted customer support about this several times and all I hear is "try an older version" or "we are working on it and have no estimate as to when an update can be released". I have tried older versions and it does not help me since NONE of the project files that have been saved in recent versions of your software is backwards compatible. So I end up being stuck losing project files that I work on, not being able to import, edit, o

Try Resolve.  It's become a competent NLE, comes with the equivalent of After Effects and Audition built-in, doesn't need any kind of Internet access to function, and is free.

After 20+ years of support I can't take the unreliability of your products one more minute.Cant believe I'm ditching Apple AND Adobe in the same year yet here we are.Thought I'd post this for anyone else wanting to announce their departure...I have a feeling a mass exodus is pending...GOOD LUCK....

Typical Premiere Pro... always have to do something extra to make this piece of crap work like its supposed to.  Hours of work lost...

I have just watched the Soccer European Cup Final in 4K streamed to my OLED TV via BT Sports YouTube channel. Every time anyone passed the ball it disappeared until it stopped moving when it came back again. Would make some boring games more interesting.

This is so ******** unacceptable. I've legit lost hours of my life on this bug. GET YOU **** TOGETHER ADOBE.Moderator Warning: Please do not use profanity. It is unacceptable according to our guidelines.

The triggers lol. Adobe still haven't fixed this, what an ongoing major issue. So you can't use the latest update with the latest OS and the latest graphics cards. Hahaha, Adobe, check your mirrors, that's Da vinci resolve right there waiting for you to spin out.

What are the alternatives to Adobe's premiere?

DO IT! Switch to Resolve. I tried putting together a 4K project with effects, colour correct nodes and fx and the smart cache made my playback smooth at full resolution on my threadripper 1950x with 1080ti. I'm going to buy the studio version this month. Forget Premiere its archaic

Wow. I haven't used Premiere in some time. I sat down today to edit some AVCHD .mts video from a Panasonic camera. I thought about upgrading from CC2017 to CC2018 and discovered - and correct me if I'm wrong on this:Without warning Adobe decided to remove it's Dolby codec from any future upgrades? Seriously?So anyone working with certain .mts files had to scramble to find a fix?And that fix entails either upgrading yer OS or dialing back to CC2017?It just boggles my mind. I wonder how many human hours were wasted across the globe on this.Is it possible on MacOS if you haven't upgraded to High Sierra to copy and paste the older framework into the new CC2018?

Just one last note that you can take back to the robot, or brain in a jar, or whatever it is that runs adobe: The biggest issue here is that there are a myriad of simple and profitable solutions to these problems adobe keeps creating for its users, but no one in the company is willing to do anything about it.  Everyone here is MORE than willing to pay for the features they need and have grown reliant on. To see your company be completely blind and silent about this is really the most staggeringly alarming element in the whole equation. These are not impossible problems, yet the company that was built on offering solutions hasn't a single one for us.

I get a ADOBE Mail with"Access your assets anywhere"The question is where can a admin say, i don't whant to have this feature!We think this feature is in a time from data protection, cybercrime and so on,a point that we have to ban.In europe we have EU-DSGVO, perhaps ADOBE hear some think about that.EU-DSGVO is personal data and save data and some other thinks.Lovely how are this feature confirm with European laws.Not all things that are cool are good too.Greetings

Da vinci resolve 15 is the solution you're looking for.

I think the important thing that adobe needs to understand is that it is not just about marketing and resource allocation, and it is not just about Story. The true issue here is that adobe seems to be walking away from it's loyal user base to pursue the same kind of "new features" arms race that runs rampant in the camera manufacturing industry. Of course you are expected to stay on top of trends, keeping your products working with the current technology. Everyone is impressed and appreciative of that. Everyone here has been paying upwards of $59 EVERY month to use your products. To have major features consistently culled inspires no confidence in the company. This is speedgrade all over again.Adobe has been the go to for major studios, and small studios alike. A lot of people here are small business owners. Just to teach ourselves how to use all your programs is a HUGE investment of time and energy. Now piece by piece we're losing features? Features we depend upon. Features we pay thr
