Adobe Premiere Pro CC 9.1 - Problems
Current problems I am experiencing with Adobe Premiere CC. Version: 9.1 (Current)
If you want to add things to this list email me at [email protected] and I will add them. I will post this on Post Chat whenever it is updated. I hope Adobe looks at this and finds it useful.
1. It crashes too often. I have never lost work as often as I do in Premiere. This is a little less insane in the current version than it used to be but it still is over the top.
2. Can’t open multiple projects. Big problem. In Avid, bins are saved as separate files, which means there is no one file that gets huge. In FCP 7 (and below) and in Premiere, the entire project is one file. In FCP, I would avoid projects getting too large by having multiple projects. In a long form projects this is very useful - a project for dailies, a project for the cuts etc. This is not possible with Premiere, and we are therefore stuck with huge files which take too long to save, crash often and possibly have a high risk of corruption.
3. Extend function is awkward and often doesn’t work unless you click a couple of times on the cut. It should not have that directional thing it has - you should be able to click the cut, move the cursor to where you want to extend it, and extend. And you shouldn’t have to command-click it, you should be able to just click it. There should not be several different modes for extending.
4. Cannot program lock-track into the keyboard.
5. Cannot program specific filters/effects into the keyboard. This is a huge annoyance to me personally, especially when there is a filter I use often.
6. The poster frame function does not work well, the poster frames keep changing after they’re set and it goes against the whole point of poster frames.
7. Speed effect - a “fit to fill” option would be very helpful.
8. A sequence should have a codec, and when you put footage of that codec on the sequence it should not have to be rendered. It’s frustrating that nothing is ever rendered, ever, until you render it.
9. Often, rendered audio clips with little dissolves between them (which I put there to make the pop go away) play without hearing those dissolves, so the pop is there. Then I stop and play it again and it isn’t there. Happens very often.
10. Copy-paste doesn’t work well. When I copy footage from a sequence, if I do a bunch of things before pasting it, it does not retain the copy and I can’t paste it.
11. Another copy-paste issue - why does it not paste stuff onto the track it was copied from? That is extremely cumbersome. It makes much more sense to paste onto the track it was copied from. If I have a certain type of sound effect that is recurring and it is on track 5, I want to copy it and paste it back to track 5, I don’t want it overrunning my dialogue that’s on track 1.
12. When matching back to the shot in the bin, it opens the shot in list form in the main project window as well as highlights it in the bin if the bin is open. Very distracting. It should only point to it in the open bin, and if the bin is not open it should open the bin and highlight the shot.
13. The process of “generating peak files” is… not ideal (aka maddening)
14. When you set a view in a bin to sort by name or by user specific, then close the bin and do other things, and open the bin again, it reverts back to a different sorting method and you have to go back to the one you already set it to.
15. When saving a bin metadata display and trying to load it in another bin it loads the metadata but not in the order that I had it in the bin I copied the settings from.
16. Label system isn’t good. We should be able to give folders and clips colors and not have a label show up near the clip or folder. If we give a clip a color - it should show up fully and reliably in that color in any timeline it is in - whether or not the clip has been put in the timeline prior to giving the clip in the bin its color.
17. From “Post Chat” Facebook group Craig Bergonzoni: being able to Sort sequences by Date Modified and Date created would be very useful.
