Hi there I am just about to pick up my brand new Sony PXW-Z190 4K 3-CMOS 1/3" Sensor XDCAM Camcorder. So I am upgrading from my beloved Sony Z5P which is of course a tape based camera. So I am wondering what is the best format to shoot on with my new camera and best format to edit on? Is there any advantage in shooting in 4K? I do simple doco-style productions for organisations that require digital video clips to promote their programs and services and they are uploaded to social media platforms and websites. Have always got good results shooting and editing in HD. The advantage of the new camera is of course that I no longer have to rely on tapes. Any advice to help me with this transition gratefully received. 🙂

THIS DOESN'T WORK AT ALL!!! No one at Adobe knows what they're talking about! Nor do they care the slightest. They know we're all just going to keep giving them money on a monthly basis for their BS subscription model. In Adobe's eyes, why bother to keep the customers happy when they're already raking in the money regardless? The only solution to this issue: dump your Adobe subscriptions! Move to Davinci Resolve, FCPX, Avid, or even Windows Movie Maker is probably more reliable than this garbage platform Adobe calls an NLE. Absolutley pathetic! 

I use 4K setting to download this video. But video shows UHD. What is reason for that? Nepal 4K  

This is the Premiere Pro forum. Premiere does not support dlx files. Best is to contact dialux on this. Thread moved to video lounge.

It's unacceptable, I already can't install premiere anymore without the 2015.4 and if I cancel my subscription they add a cancellation fee of 75€. Adobe, you MUST provide the service we are paying for, if you can't release it for whatever legal reason, adapt it and find a solution for your loyal customers. I can't believe this is happening!

Any moderate to large scale project is painful to work with ... even with proxies, which one CAN NOT do when color grading, performance is horrible regardless of how much hardware I toss at Pr?  I'm working with a simple conversion of 5030 .jpg images (one per frame) into a video and I can't even edit the sequence nor change the duration.  Heck sometimes it will not even show me a program image from the timeline. To put this into perspective, I can use "HitFilm" express (which is free) and load my 5030 .jpg files and generate a video sequence without any issues. I'm a software engineer and I'm aware of performance pitfalls, but I hate to say this, but your development team need to revisit the basics. Come on Adobe, what the heck is going on with the your development team?  I've thousands of $$$ with subscriptions to Adobe and I'm simply NOT getting my moneys worth ... it's shameful.  The number of threads I've seen in regards to performance problems i

Some time YouTube videos have Blurred Letters when it shows APPr apps. Is there any specfic frame size option to download to get rid of this issue?      

22.3 feels like a step backward in so many ways. I'm normally cool headed with bugs, but it's maddening how many 22.3 dropped with. To name but a couple: - Recurring render bugs. I haven't been able to render once with this version, no matter how many times I try. I had to sent to AME everytime.- Render in out is totally broken. For me, at least, but this has never happened before yet consistantly throws up the bad return error now.- Scrubbing is buggy as hell and is either 10x slower than 22.2 or just outright crashes most of the time- The export window looks like somebody with an art history degree designed it. More clicks and less functionality.  Most of this is just a rant, though I'd love to know if there's known fix for both the render issues, since between them they are making pro unusable now. Any feedback appreciated. 

Dear Adobe, For a couple of years now, me and thousands of people from around the globe are reporting issue after issue, bug after bug.  Still some bugs are there for a couple of years now and do not seem to get fixed. I am not waiting for all these new functions you are adding all the time.  We are all waiting for the existing issues to be fixed. If I would not have to use After Effects, I would already have made the switch.  So, a lot of people like me, are very desperate.  We all pay every month, for software that crashes at least a couple of times a day.  It makes me wonder if you even use the software at Adobe, cause you would have the same frustrations, no? So, again, please fix these issues because when you keep adding more new features, just more new problems are appearing. Thank you!

The answers below are useless. They do not refer to the Current version. As ADOBE updates the software, they quickly invalidate any user-generated "help."The utter lack of relevant, accurate documentation is maddening. Relying on "the user community" to do the work the developers should have done is good modern corporate strategy and terrible for users.I have purchased dozens of licenses for ADOBE products over the past 27 years. Once, these were first-rate products that performed as described in adequate documentation and that did not crash when doing extraordinarily complicated, demanding actions like "pasting."   Now, the company had adopted the Microsoft strategy of delivering and hoping their consumers will accept any execrable product they foist upon us. I wonder if anyone is now proud to admit they work for Adobe.   Mod note: This post was branched and moved.

Seriously I'm going to start to learn more languages because the english language alone does not contain enough words to describe the horrible service provided by this garbage of a software   Mod note: Post was moved. Title was changed to reflect the problem.

Friends, let's stop paying for Adobe and start with Final Cut or DaVinci,I think Adobe has abandoned us and for my part the word PRO is obsolete. I am very angry!!

Looking at the extensive feedback I've seen recently on the Forum regarding new features such as the 'controversial' header bar implementation and the import screen that was incorporated in V23.x - is this a dumbed down product that Adobe are trying to push in the market?.You cannot appeal to the casual laptop mobile editor and serious Desktop user at the same time surely when making user interface changes ?I'm not a Professional editing house - I'm just an enthusiast hobby video editor and I find some of these new features puzzling .......and sometimes annoying.To a Video Production house it would seem to me these could also give rise to a few questions, "where are Adobe going with this Software?".I'd like to see less gloss and 'cool features that are 'me too' and  trendy ... ' and focus on investing engineering resources that give real performance improvement and stop wasting time on messing about with user interfaces that really don't need it. These are low priority rated devel

Should Deinterlace and Decomb be used when exporting interlaced footage?

I need to create video banner ads in specific sizes and I'm not sure what Adobe tool would be best for that. I'm need to generate HTML5 from MP4 files, but I need to create multiple ad sizes. Suggestions?

I want to share a project recently completed that extensively used the Photoshop painterly action. When I first saw the painterly action, I thought it would be a great way to make my next music video stand out.Of course it meant applying the effect to individual frames (still images) then piecing them together in Premiere. So after many hours (don't ask for a number because I don't know), please check out the final product:https://youtu.be/NrzDcglqqZo

New Ouija Macc video Feat Violent J of Insane Clown Posse dropped yesterday! Check out the video editing here!

Just gonna leave this here for everyone apologizing for Premiere. Why I Switched to Resolve 

I am following a tutorial. There is a word it sound to me joby. It is not clear enough to me and I do not know the meaning for that as well. Is it possible for you to identify the word?Time 0.4-0.6. Video is attached.    

I'm just gonna leave this here. This expresses everything I've been going through over the past few years.   If I had spare capital I would without a doubt short Adobe shares. I've never been more confident that an 'industry standard' tool is total, utter —. It's just a matter of time before there's a critical mass of people leaving the careful entrapment that is the Adobe ecosystem before it crumbles like the house of cards it is.   Moderator note: Please do not use profanity on Adobe forums. It's against community guidelines.

I have been using adobe products and premiere for over 10 years professionally, and almost 20 years now in general. but the level of dysfunctionality with this crumbling software has finally reached its peak as i'm concerned.  Premiere has always had its issues, but trying to edit this short film since january 2022 has been the absolute biggest nightmare imaginable. I have wasted hours upon hours trouble shooting issues that bring my day to a hault- from bad design/UI decisions to absurd bugs that have useless work arounds (disable gpu acceleration on my brand new custom editing pc is no kind of solution) - I must spend 60-70 percent of my time pulling my hair out in frustration and this is not an exaggeration.  I am blown away but how terrible this software has become and at this point I feel like I deserve my money back because Premiere "pro" is LITERALLY unusable garbage.  For what it's worth I'm using a PC with a ryzen threadripper 3960 with 128 GB ram

I'm not expecting to have my problem resolved because I know that you guys at Adobe don't care. I have been a paid user of the Creative Cloud Suite since 2016. I am a video creator that uses Premiere Pro as their primary tool to edit videos and all the other tools that Adobe has to compliment my video workflow.I think that the program it's a very powerful editor when it works, but I don't know why it's getting worse and worse with each upgrade, and it's just getting super frustrating. It's not a cheap subscription to have, and it's just only sad that I can't work faster because of the program crashing all the time or not working correctly.I work with Sony Codecs mainly (A7 III and FS5). I'm talking easy codecs, nothing crazy like raw footage or 8K. And I work on a top of the line iMac pro from 2018. It's ridiculous the number of times that the program has let me down on critical deliveries with my clients.Right now, for example, we are cutting a 15-minute documentary that needs to be d

I have not even tried messing with Premiere 2022 cause 2021 still has its share of annoyances, therefore, I am planning to exit this mess of a program once and for all! Every year, Every year it's a new batch of problems and then Adobe expects US to just deal with it. The cloud package is expensive and we never get the option to just buy a program. I plan to buy Da Vinci and not "rent it" forever. Thanks Adobe and byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
