HelloFollowing GoPro's recent announcement to release CineForm as an open source codec:RedShark News - GoPro opens all doors to the CineForm codecGoPro Official Website - Capture + share your world - GoPro Open Sources the CineForm Codec GoPro/CineForm Insider: CineForm Goes Open Source Do you think it would be a good idea if Adobe would integrate it and make it the default codec in Premiere?Could we finally have a free, cross-platform, open source, broadcast-quality, codec for mastering files?Any thoughts?

Then Kevin, why don't you and your pals at abobe stop ruining your own software?If multiple project capability has been a long/greatly desired advent, then why on earth did you make it so unbearable and confusing?Why would I want my projects to open within each other? Do you or have you ever used this software for actual video editing? Do you find this feature helpful?I can't for the life of me think of an instance where'd I'd want my project to open inside another project where it combines my timeline sequences and places sequences from one project next to the sequences from the other.I understand that in previous versions if I want files from another project, and I don't want to have to re-edit the shot, re-color correct it, etc, I can simply copy the file from the timeline, close that project, open the other project and paste and PRESTO, it's there.Is the new multi-project addition supposed to help me in that I'm avoiding going between projects? Because if that's the case you missed

i just saw this leaked documentation for the next version of CC. this may be the best release yet... Adobe Creative Cloud has moved to native Operating System (OS) support for 16x9 Widescreen Video decoding (reading 16x9 Widescreen Video files) and is no longer providing support for encoding (writing) 16x9 Widescreen Video formats in the current and future releases of Creative Cloud.16x9 Widescreen Video decodingBoth Windows and OS X operating systems (Windows 8.1 or above and Mac OS X .11 or above) contain native support for 16x9 Widescreen Video decoding functions. Please update to the latest version of your operating system16x9 Widescreen Video decode support for Windows operating systemsIf you run a Windows operating system on your computer, all recent versions now support some form of Operating System (OS) level decode for 16x9 Widescreen Video.There are a few exceptions, though:Windows 10N/10KN: Windows 10N/10KN version does not include the media package required to decode 16x9 W

Am planning on running my own multi-media production company, but as it stands right now, I have to do everything from pre/post-production, effects and lighting right down the line for some of the work I want to do, I believe if I learn a 3d software like C4D, Blender or Maya,  I will be able compete way better with my competitors in the market am in right now.So I think the key is to be able to do some cool high end 3d stuff in a timely manner.But the only problem is, I don't know which one to choose:C4D - is cheaper and looks like it can get the job done, for most commericials and other small productions I will be doing.Maya- someone told me the possibilites are endless in this program, but the only thing is, it is very expensive, so I don't know if it would make sense to invest so much into a software and hardly push it to its limit.Blender - am not sure about this, it's free LOLRegards,Semple

Dear Maxon, if you read this, please buy After Effects from Adobe and save us future trouble. Every new version is getting worse and slower. I think this application would be much better developed under Maxon and their team. I just had this to say.Thank you.

I am hunting the Apple ProRes 422 in the update as well... Anyone see it? Am I just missing it?

My videos in a pdf play on the computer, but not on mobile devises. How do I get them to play on every devise within the same pdf?Matt

Hello everyone,Well, I've been using Premiere Pro for a year now but I've cancelled my subscription today. Here's a few of the reasons why:1. The main reason is that Adobe and Apple don't seem to be able to talk to each other. I've had an engineer tell me that Adobe have filed a bug a with Apple about terrible CUDA performance (exporting doesn't work properly - just constant errors - on my configuration of machine with OSX Sierra and apparently that's Apple's problem, there's a bug report been filed. Not good enough).2. The keyframe animation is appalling, I can't work on keyframes I have created as I can't actually move the playhead to them, I have to create a new keyframe and slightly alter the values of that and then delete the old one. Ugh. If they're trying to force me to use AE for animation then that just stinks.3. Adobe don't really have any idea about customers or users. When I just cancelled and I selected 'other' as my reason they gave me a text box the size of a matchbox -

Just a thought. Wondering how many times on uses your SD card in a video camera before inserting a brand new one. Suggestions?

I'm writing on behalf of Sierra Leone based (UK registered) charity WAYout, regarding free products, and particularly Premier Pro and Photoshop. WAYout has helped over 3000 street and disadvantaged youth in the last 5 years to change their lives through projects using film, music and arts. Our Photoshop and film editing projects are enormously popular - we have over 100 regular weekly members hoping to complete courses and get courses. Our members have gone onto paid employment as editors, writers, designers and film-makers.But we do all of this on a very small budget. Adobe products would be key to our work were they not prohibitively expensive; and trying to navigate how to get donations, through TechSoup or other providers, seems overly complicated.Can someone advise, is there anyone we can talk to about this?Thanks

Adobe can say what they want. After years of nightmare editing, loosing weeks on trying to solve things and get premiere to work like it should. I just threw it out, finished, no more! For the price we pay, it's not worth all the frustration and stress. I always read about cache, ssd's, older systems.... it's pure hogwash. IT IS.!! Went over to Davinci Resolve 14 and what do you know? Gone are all my editing problems (years of frustration solved in minutes). All the nonsense that I read about why PP crashes and what not with 4K.... R U joking? The only explanation I've got, it just does not work.Davinci plays with it like a child, with several 4K clips on top of each other for more then 10 minutes AND with color grading and fx added.Don't get me wrong, AE, PS... all good but PP... never again! Hope Davinci Rersolve keeps growing as an NLE (and no doubt, it will). It has the potential of being one of the best! Amen...

Hello Everyone.I have the Sony PXW-Z150 4K, Camcorder. B&H Photo Video B&H Photo Video Also, I have few Canon DSLR Camera Like Mark III, and 80D. The problem with shooting Sony Z150 is that you can not change the Lens, and It Is very poor In Low-Light shooting. But, with Sony Z150, you can shoot 4K, and you can shoot HD 120fps, Not 4k fps.  With C100 Mark II, It dose not shoot 4K, But I can change the lens, and Its design for Video only,  rather that having a DSLR Camera that Shoots Video. Off course, C300 is a better choice but is very expensive. Dose anyone knows about this camera, would you please let me know what you think.Thank you very mcuh.

Hey there:I'm looking for a semi-professional product for a reasonable price. Of the four options - sourced from Amazon - listed below, I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on the more expensive JVC. Intention is to shoot high-end quality interviews and footage without breaking my bank. Prices are Canadian... Any comments on the JVC from people familiar with the camera? Any other suggestions in that price range? Using Premiere Pro CS6.
