Hallo,ich möchte gern meine alten Videos mit Familienfilmen digitalisieren.Nach mehreren Versuchen mußte ich feststellen, daß das Videosignal beim digitalisieren verschoben wird und horizontale Zeilenverschiebungen auftreten.Hat jemand einen Tipp, wie ich die Zeilenverschiebung korrigieren kann?Kann man mit Adobe auch analoge Videos digitalisieren?Gibt es dazu ein Konverter oder Kabel mit Video S Eingang und USB Ausgang?Vielen Dank.

Your Premier Pro has, in my opinion, got the be the worst app ever as far as user friendliness goes. It took longer to download and install than it lived on my PC. It took me 10 minutes to figure out how to navigate to my movie clip and another 20 to add an audio track that, on playback, sound like a scratched up CD for all the skipping it did. The mp3 plays just fine in ALL other apps; it only skips in your software. That ended my affair with your software. Based on those 30 minutes which I can never get back, it would take me 6 years f college just to learn to navigate your bloated software and another 10 to learn what the options do.On a scale of 1 - 10, you rate -100 for annoying and user friendliness and -1000 for simplicity.Why can't you software companies make a video editing software designed for us people who simply want to click and go. We don't need or want a billion options that even most professional users NEVER use.Keep it simple stupid!

Adobe why where you so careless to the contestants? Why did you care more about lead generation then creating a competition that actually cared about your customers and contestants? Why didn't you communicate more effectively the rules and regulation? Why didn't you design a competition that could handle thousands of entries? Why weren't all the 25 finalist videos amazing kick ass videos? How come I'm seeing better videos that didn't make the cut on You tube? Why did you call it an editing competition? How come you did not take down video that where uploaded to youtube with out consent? Please tell me the process you used to judge the videos? How many entries you received. How many "Judges" you had to view the content and pick the 25? Please, I would like to know?

i need someone who can make a intro for free so Can you make a intro for my new channel coming soon called cyclone, so there will be gears spinning then it will show the word cyclone with gears in the background and the letter o in cyclone is a spinning gear too the. It will fade to black with a red flash can you make it for me?

Have you seen the Top 25 "Finalists" of the contest at Adobe - Make the Cut ?No offense to the finalists, but other than maybe 4 or 5 which are decent, the majority are amateurish garbage. Notice that so far most of the videos have more "dislikes" than "likes" (and I don't believe that can be attributed to disgruntled "losers" like me; I am happy to give credit where credit is earned.)It seems pretty clear that Adobe and/or the "judges" did not watch all the entries ... maybe they watched "enough" to find 25 that they felt were good enough. It's not even a matter of taste ... I know (from seeing colleague's entries as well as Youtube posts etc.) that there are dozens of much much better cuts, which any idiot would immediately prefer to this pile.It would be one thing if Adobe said "we can only accept x submissions" but they made rules, which stated that all entries would be viewed, and there is simply no way that this happened.And if this were a "submit a funny photo" contest or someth

With the release of DaVinci Resolve 14 and the full version price drop from $999 to $299, along with Premiere Pro's inability to handle CinemaDNG Feature Request I'm very hard pressed to renew my recently expired subscription.DaVinci Resolve 14 What's New - YouTube DaVinci Resolve 14 Editing - YouTube DaVinci Resolve 14 Color - YouTube I will miss Photoshop, and the familiarity of Premiere Pro.  I don't often use the other tools in the box.  But the new features in Resolve 14 and it's lower cost make those losses very easy to handle.I bring this up here because competition is good for the consumer.  I encourage anyone sticking with Adobe to keep filing those feature requests, because Premiere Pro suddenly has a loooong, uphill battle just to keep up, let alone pull ahead.Feature Request/Bug Report Form

I know that the top 25 finalists will be announced on Monday, May 1, but I'm curious to know if anyone has been contacted so far by Adobe to submit their project file.

Question- I've noticed a lot of people have been sharing their Imagine Dragons contest submissions on Youtube. I'd really like to do the same, but I'm afraid it might result in disqualification. Is it possible for one of the moderators to give a definitive answer on this? Good luck to everyone!-Amy McClung

Hi All! So after a week of nonstop editing, I finally finished my edit for Make The Cut, and I was beyond excited to submit it. Now after almost an hour past submitting it, the upload still has the spinning uploading icon, and it's past midnight, which was the deadline for submission.  I'm very worried, as not only do I not want my days of work to go to waste, but I was really looking forward to seeing how my edit stacked up against everyone else's. If I submitted before midnight, will it still go through? And if not, is there a secondary way I can get this to who it needs to go to?Thanks,Josh Miller

So  ... it's Friday afternoon. Does anyone know: Have the 25 been chosen?The Rules say "potential winners will be notified..." When is that? Will the 25 finalists be contacted before Sunday's midnight Youtube posting? Or is that the earliest way to know if you've "made the cut"?When will the Grand Prize winner be announced? After the YouTube voting?For the "Fan Favorite" thing -- is there any kind of system where people will have to watch a certain number of entries before voting? If not, it's just basically a social media popularity contest, isn't it?(I emailed the "team" but no response yet.)

Hey'all!I guess some of us are still hanging there, praying hard while experiencing the 'Uploading Issue' problem.It's really superb-dreadful while staring at that yellow button spinning off by its own, hoping that it would upload now,but I tried contacting via email to adobemakethecut@gmail.com - as still there's no luck of getting any swift replies from themas I know the contest has ended. (But hey! My video is still uploading from like 1 hour plus, still no luck - photo attached)I do really hope there's other solutions or secondary solutions that I could submit my video edits.Been through the same hard work as y'all did for this edit and I do really hope my efforts are NOT wasted as well! ;(Do really wish they could extend at least a little bit of time for this submission or could allow email submissions for those whom are experiencing uploading issues, as it's damn hard to catch the submission timing due to it's Eastern Timing from SGTiming anyways.Let's just try updating each othe

I submitted my entry last night after days and nights of heavy work. Fingers crossed.I asked Jason Levine on Twitter (@Beatlejase) how many entries had been submitted ... and at 2PM ET Saturday he said:"Don't have exact number, but at last check it was in the thousands!I find this a bit overwhelming. How exactly are the judges going to watch 100 or more hours of the same song over and over? The rules say "All submitted Entries will be judged by a panel of expert judges (“Judges”) selected by Sponsor in its sole discretion" ... and the blog says "evaluated by a panel of luminary judges, who will select one ultimate winner to receive the $25,000 Grand Prize. Judges include members of the band, Academy Award winner Angus Wall, who edited films like Fight Club and Vinnie Hobbs, a music video editor who works with Kendrick Lamar and Kanye."Does this mean that the 'expert judges' are going to watch ALL thousands of entries? All together? Or will they divide them up?"Thousands" x 3.5 minutes

Hello,I spent a lot of time making the Imagine Dragons video for Make The Cut.  I had technical issues, and I could not submit before the deadline.  I was wondering if I could send it in to Adobe just for them to look at it.  I spent a lot of time on this and believe I used the Adobe Stock footage in a creative way.  I would just be excited for them to see it even though I can't compete in the competition.  Thanks for your time!Sarah

I tried 2 different computers(Win-Mac), 2 different browsers(Safari-Chrome), 2 different files and it did not happen. I have tried 2 different files with file sizes 193mb and 160mb. Formats mp4. I waited 8 hours for each one. I threw about 10 e-mails to the support department. I bothered the live support of Premiere Pro 2 times. I tweeted to Adobe and Adobe Premiere Pro account from Twitter. I even tweeted Imagine Dragons' vocals. But it did not. Although I did all the things I said, I could not reach the video I was trying to get in two weeks. I've been working for 2 weeks because of the problem with the internet site! There is a website that gives no information about the installation. I sent the project to the support team. Mail address and I could send the video there. But the support team just said '' Refresh the page. '' As many people as I see in the forum have the same problem. Nobody who had this problem could have joined the competition. I think a company like Adobe should he

Hi! I was recently trying to upload my video for the “Make the Cut” contest. I fill in all of the boxes; but it never fully submits, anyone have the same issue?

So I attempted uploading my Imagine Dragons music video yesterday for the Make the Cut competition. I filled out all the forums and uploaded my file. I clicked submit and was told my file size is too large. Okay, shouldn't be a problem. So I closed the tab, re opened Premiere Pro, exported my video to fit the proper size. I go back to the Make the Cut submission page and fill out all the information again, using the same info and email address. I upload my new smaller file and click submit. But when I click submit it says that I have already submitted my video and that each person may only submit one entry. But, I was never even allowed to submit my first video because it was too large. That's why I got this smaller one. So now I am unsure of what to do. I thought maybe I could just use a different email address, but then I became concerned that the judges would see two of the same video, think that I am cheating, and disregard both videos from the contest altogether. I haven't tried s

So, when I upload my video? Do I get email from them that I successfully upload or it just takes me to the next page that says you successfully upload and click to share to your friend, something like that?Because I am freaking out and also the official rules stated that I need to upload my working file? DID I MISS THAT?[Moved from the Community Help Application forum (which is for issues regarding an old app for creating help documentation) and into a more appropriate forum - moderator]

hi,are we we allowed to use the band logo and/or text created in Premiere Pro cc for the "Make the Cut" contest? The rules say we can only use the assets included in the sponsor zip file, and the logo is not included in there. only reason I ask is because I created some open titles for the video. Thanks!!good luck to all!Sean Patrick

Not that my opinion as a paying customer will matter to the increasingly bad software development choices being made by Adobe, but what the hell? The original version held a lot of promise because of the features that allow tracking and organization of creative ideas. Logline, summaries, character bios, etc. This new version is pointless.I get the benefit of updating the code base, but if you're going waste all that time and money at least start by recreating what is already good. Unfortunately you abandoned development of Story about 4 years ago and left those really trying to use it dangling in the wind. If your intention is to create a top tier Script platform, then release it when it is ready and hire someone whos know something about actual productions.It's getting more and more difficult to take Adobe seriously when it comes to professional tools.

Anybody interested please email me {email removed by moderator - note: it is better to use the forum to prevent spammers}

James_eater's advice is best so far. Until Adobe gets their act together, I'm finding that the less Premiere Pro touches my footage the better. Lumetri, morph cut, warp stabilizer, titling, captions, export, read/write permissions... CC2017 in the last month has been more error, glitch, and crash ridden then anything I've downloaded since the Vista days (and all of those woes were because of Vista, no questions or doubts about that). Adobe's CC subscription model is starting to prove the detractors true - as long as we keep paying, I'm beginning to think Adobe won't fix anything besides the most embarrassing errors and let the others slide.I for one am trying not to get caught flat footed and have started learning Davinci Resolve and Fusion. Resolve has a bit of a learning curve (as do all programs) and doesn't have the format support of Premiere Pro, and I haven't been able to tackle Fusion much at all, but seeing as both of them are free in contrast to beta testing for Adobe... only

Heh. Adobe's marketing team must be the same folks in charge of QA and beta testing their software...
