Huge Bugs with Many Legs Still Living in Premiere Pro - (Border from Sharpening & Flickering from Adjustment Layer)

I haven't edited video in awhile.  While working on a new project I've run into a bunch of what I suppose are well known issues in Premiere Pro CC 2014.  It seems Adobe has know about these issues for some time, but that for some reason, nothing is being done about them.  Here is my most recent experience with editing a video using PP:
1. Found that color correction tools in Premiere Pro for setting White Balance Suck for folks who don't edit video 8 hours a day.
Searched on web to find solution find that Adobe has no fix but random humans have found hack solution: White Balance in Premiere Pro CC on Vimeo
The dude shows you how to use the Cyroce Color Neutralizer plugin from After Effects - but sure enough the current version of the plugin that ships with AE CC 2014 doesn't work with premiere any more so you have to download the old version from dude's website here:  http://www.sternfx.com/tutorials/136
Thanks to the DUDE!
2. Found out that adding an Adjustment layer can cause flickering in footage.
Searched on web to find solution find that Adobe has no fix but random humans have found hack solution: PP CC 2014 - adjustment layers flickering problem : Adobe Premiere Pro  AND  Re: image flickering from adjustment layer
Added mask to control flickering.  More specifically, I turned each effect in the adjustment layer on and off until I found the particular effect that was causing the flickering.  Then I created a mask in that effect which covered the entire frame.  Mystically the flickering disappeared.  Learned that if you make any changes to adjustment layer effects, flickering will return and you have to delete/recreate the mask once again. Ridiculous.
3. Thought all was good and that I could now peacefully continue to finish my project.  I was wrong.  Found that adding sharpening in adjustment layer causes a small border to form around the entire frame.  The pixels seem faded or translucent or something.
Searched on web to find solution find that Adobe has no fix but random humans have found hack solution:  Sharpening bug Premiere Pro - - Fourmedia
So now I've learned that the sharpening effect needs to go on it's own adjustment layer.  Awesome.
Flickering returns because I made a change to adjustment layer 1.  Re-mask.  Sweet.
That's it.  Pretty sure this post will help folks out, but man I am going to run out and give another NLE a shot.  None of these operations should be this difficult.  Makes me wonder if Adobe even attempts to use their own programs.  I don't see how anyone could possibly let a huge tool like Premiere Pro suffer from these issues -- and for so long a period of time.  Absolutely ridiculous.  Adobe truly seems to be asleep at the wheel.  This is some amateur crap here.

Thanks for this post. It would be cool (since Adobe doesn't seem to use their products) if there were more posts like this that I could read before I upgrade. I'm having the flickering w adjustment layer problem you mentioned in #2 - and this post is over month old! Aghh

    I am having some huge problems with my colorspace settings. Every time I upload my raw files from my Canon 5D mark II or 6D the pics are perfect in color. That includes the back of my camera, the pic viewer on my macbook pro, and previews. They even look normal when I first open them in photoshop. I will edit, save, and then realize once i've sent it to myself to test the color is WAY off. This only happens in photoshop. I've read some forums and have tried different things, but it seems to be making it worse. PLEASE HELP! Even viewing the saved image on the mac's pic viewer is way off once i've edited in photoshop. I am having to adjust all my colors by emailing myself to test. Its just getting ridiculous.

    Check the color space in camera raw, the options are in the link at the bottom of the dialog box. Then when saving make sure you save it to the srgb color space when sending to others. Not all programs understand color space and or will default to srgb. That won't necessarily mean it will be accurate, but it will put it in the ballpark. Using save for web will use the srgb color space.

  • Open CL errors with AMD Radeon HD 6750M, on Premiere Pro CC 7.0 and 7.0.1

    I am on a Macbook Pro early-2011 with a 1Gb AMD Radeon HD 6750M - I noticed this in Console, repeating constantly while loading Premiere as well as all throughout my edit session and export:
    MacBook-Pro.local Adobe Premiere Pro CC[770]: [CL_INVALID_OPERATION] : OpenCL Error : Failed to retrieve device information! Invalid enumerated value!
    Meanwhile in project settings my Video Rendering and Playback settings is happily set to Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Open CL) - not greyed out like in CS6. Someone else mentioned having the same open CL errors but said it only occured when they updated to 7.0.1 - however, I have seen the exact open cl errors on both 7.0 and 7.0.1 (every string is identical except the "[770]" which can have other values like [270] or [1060] etc. I have graphics switching off and my AMD Radeon HD 6750M shows up fine in system profiler. I am worried there might be something wrong with it, but other than in Premiere CC, I am having no problems.
    Can anyone shed some light on this? Is it a bug? Is there any other info I can provide that would help clarify anything?
    I've spent way too many hours and late nights trying to troubleshoot but couldn't come up with anything, so any help would be more than appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Ronny

    Anybody from Adobe have any insight? Are you aware of this? I hope this is being looked into soon because I have a wave of TEDx HD videos to edit coming up in less than a week and just need some reassurance. Should I be worried?
    Maybe the problem is with Apple's Console not logging it correctly, since my Mercury (CPU) option is not grayed out and still selected.

  • Intermittant problems with slow motion and crash of Premiere Pro

    Many complain about Premiere Pro's instability.
    Since a couple of days I have the same problem. Every time I want to navigate from A to B, Adobe seems to either introduce a severe SLOW MOTION effect on it's own accord, that I never put in !!!, or it just CRASHES with an error message along the lines "Problem, Try again" or similar.
    This is utterly frustrating !!! I have been trying for over 6 hours today to get this remedied, but no luck.
    Looking back over the past days, the problems seem to have grown exponentially both in frequency and in duration.
    Of course, this is not about the program, but about the Premiere Pro Forums.
    Is there a 300-day refund period for Jives???
    I suggest you use that opportunity Adobe. This is

    OK, that makes sense.
    OS: Vista 64 Business
    Browser: Firefox 3.5.2 and IE 8.06
    Symptoms:
    1. The connection has been reset, try again. Often after 15 minute waits.
    2. Nothing happens, just waiting for Adobe and even after 30 minutes, still waiting.
    3. After posting, nothing happens. You press the post button, nothing for ages. You press Cancel, nothing.
    4. All other pages load without problems and are responsive.
    5. Top participants listing and most popular discussions are not displayed.
    Do you need further information?

  • What is the problem with Adobe Customer/Tech support for Premiere Pro?!?!?!

    Today Adobe closed the NINTH support ticket - since mid-January - on my problem with Premiere Pro CC - it crashes on startup (just after the splash screen loads). From what I gather on here, I am not alone with this problem. It's apparently rather common!
    I've left message after message and, as I said, NINE tech support tickets (most recent #0185443350). All have been closed or withdrawn without ANY help, reply or solution. Yet my monthly Cloud charge is reliably withdrawn from my bank account!
    I need access to a working program! I use this in my studio business and my customers have been waiting since the end of January! This is now costing me money and customers!
    Adobe - Apparently you don't particularly care about your customers. I am NOT impressed and, at this point, I'm starting get a little pissed off. It's been almost six months and.....NOTHING!
    And YES, all of my drivers are up to date, etc. I've reinstalled. Updated drivers. Etc etc etc, ad nauseum!
    NOTHING WORKS!

  • Which cameras are compatible with the capture feature in adobe premiere pro?

    My son is making stop motion videos and wants to be able to use the capture feature on adobe premiere pro where you connect your camera via USB and can capture images on your computer through your camera. I'm looking into buying him a camera and am trying to find a list of digital cameras that are compatible with this feature, he has a small fuji camera now that will not let him do so.

    What the other users have said is correct. Premiere captures through FireWire or through SDI/HDMI via a 3rd party solution.
    For your situation I would say the best bet is to connect you camera to your computer via USB or use a card reader and copy the entire directory to your hard drive and ingest into Premiere via Media Browser.
    If you Google 'how to make stop motion in premiere pro' there are tons of great tutorials.
    Best,

  • Export problems with relation to audio in Adobe Premiere Pro HELP!!

    I have been working on a school assignment for media on Adobe Premiere  Pro CC and have come across a very frustrating issue that I have no idea about how to solve. it goes under the category of a 'technical difficulty'.
    As I have alot of interviews and talking in my project for my Documentary I am shooting on Bullying for my Current Affair I have alot of audio to deal with and with my Rode VideoMic Pro when in conversation in the midst of an interview there is a constant 'hiss and crackle' that one can hear when watching hence I have used the audio affect of "DeNoiser" to get rid of this and it seems to work great on my workflow in my sequence in Premiere as I have reduced most clips to -15Db's. But when I export my project as I have done several times,the 'Denoiser' affect doesn't work for the first 3 seconds + for all clips that I have used to affect for. At the start of all the clips used with the affect there is a constant hiss and crackle and after 3 seconds it fades out??? Please help me with this very unusual problem as I want this to be a fantastic film on your fantastic software!
    Thanks

    I would not return Adobe, I would return the camera, it is not suited for editing. If you insist on editing that material and end up with pretty crappy results, play it out from a DVD player into a good tape based DV video camera thru analog in and pass it thru to firewire for capture.
    To put it another way, when maximum achievable fidelity of video is 100, your camera is at 10% due to the heavy MPEG compression. You need to convert that to DV and you are left with around 8% due to DV compression, you then need to encode it again to MPEG and you end up with less than 1% out of a possible 100.

  • How do you create a thought bubble with a video playing inside on premiere pro CC??

    Hey,
    I was wondering if anyone knew how to make a thought bubble with video playing inside it using premiere. I'm trying to create a video for an assignment and i want it to start off with someone dreaming and have the thought bubble pop up with their dream then have it fade into that. My teacher told me i won't be able to do it so i kinda want to prove him wrong and shove it in his face . i'd looovvvveeeeee and appreciate if someone can help me!

    If you program is Premiere Pro CC, you have posted in the wrong forum. Somehow your thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum.
    Please re-post your thread in the Adobe Premiere Pro Forum or wait for a moderator to see your thread here and move it from here to there.

  • Clips with warp stabilzer are unrendered everytime Premiere Pro opens

    Had an issue with a CPU setting yesterday which has since been resolved, however since that was fixed this new issue with the rendering keeps happening and I do not want to have to render my sequence everytime I open up the programme. Anything I can do? I'm using Premiere Pro CC 2014.2

    Hi,
    As long as you saved the changes in your project, you should be able to see it there. A few times i have seen a similar issue happen where Premiere would not open the sequence you were working on the last time. Make sure you have the right sequence open. You can search for the right sequence in the Project Bin.
    Using the trial version is not the problem.
    Thanks,

  • N8 Mail client huge bug with hotmail mailbox

    Heï / hello everyone,
    I just want to remote a bug to Nokia software support ASAP.
    On the mail client, when a hotmail mailbox if configured.
    When creating or answering to a mail:
      - all acute accent are remplaced by "?"
     - subject of the mail is remplaced by "? ??? ? ...."
     - all word wrap are missing.
    Does this problem happens any other user ?
    Does Nokia Software care knows about this issue ?
    Thank all !

    Hey back,
    Well, I discovered that the option "my name" of the email app on the Nokia N8 does not take over the windows live services profile name .
    So now with this new 2011 version(unified nickname and user name), if we have fanzy name in WLM, with special caracters, it sent or reply to email with this same fanzy name, whatever we write in the option "my name" of the Nokia N8 email app.
    On my ovi email setup (on Nokia N8) the option "my name" perfectly works, it takes over the usual one. BUT not with Hotmail account ! So be aware of that.

  • HUGE Bug With ITunes

    I already posted this message in the ITunes Forum and I'm posting it here also. I just can't play any of the stuff that I bought in years. It is much more then frustrating. Could be a hardware problem, so I'm posting this message here also. Thanks in advance.
    Hi. I have bought a brand new Macbook Pro and was already listening for my music and watching my videos bought at ITunes store as usual. Then, this week, my computer stopped playing all my protected stuff. It asks for authorization at ITunes Store, I authorize it, the ITunes says it is ok with a dialog window, in my account settings I see that there is one more machine authorized and when I try to play my stuff again... it asks for authorization. Just before that happened, I heard a weird sound wile playing brand new songs from ITunes Store. Then I had a system crash. Everything freeze. I restarted the computer by pressing for some seconds the power button (that was the only way) and my computer was never more able to play protected stuff.
    I've reinstalled my ITunes and QT and did not work
    I restarted my computer as another user and did not work.
    I bought one new song to see if the problem was with my media and did not work.
    I've tested my media in another computer and it works.
    I'm pending to think that is a hardware problem... don't know. Is there is anybody out there who nows what is happening and how to solve it, please help.
    PS: the guys from Itunes Store support were very correct. They even gave me a redownload of my stuff, even when I asked then not to do it because the problem was clearly another. I mean it. They were nice, but never saw this bug before and that made me more worried.

    What I was also going to say about this is that it certainly appears that itunes is referencing albums to sync based on relative position in the list of aperture album items. Obviously there is a better way to do this, such as name referencing. I'm sure this wouldn't be too hard to fix.

  • Context (right click) link to edit audio track with Audition is greyed out in Premiere Pro CS6

    I have reported this previously in the forum and I've seen some other posts on this and was hoping that there is either a solution or workaround for this real workflow issue. I read that this is a known bug inserted with the update to 6.0.1. It is now 6.0.3 and time to fix this bug please.
    Adobe, if you're listening, this is all about workflow. It's disruptive to a workflow situation where deadlines are important and it shouldn't be a difficult programming problem to fix. It worked before. Make it work again. That's not asking a lot from a customer who has been a Premiere user since the 90s.
    Thank you.

    It does work for most.  So we have to find out why it isn't for you.  (Though admittedly, I'm not even sure what questions to ask trying to track down the cause.)

  • Importing still images to Premiere Pro CS5

    I have some still digital images in my computer which I want to use for a project for class.
    The problem I find is that when I import the images they are too big and only a portion of shows.
    Apparently the size of the image has to be 720 wide x 480 tall.
    How do I resize it to that scale?
    Please help.

    Correction: I redid the whole thing as I was using the wrong image.  But anyhow, this is the scenario.
    My project requires images close to 720 wide x 480 tall.   My image is 3264 x 2448
    When I resized I couldn't use 720 width as the "constrain proportions" makes the height 540.
    The latter being greater than the 480... so I have selected (with the right image now) 640 width and it automatically inserts a height of 480.
    This is better than the previous dimensions with the wrong image so I guess I might be ok.  What do you think?

  • I have a problem with the Warp Stabilizer in Adobe Premiere Pro CC on mac

    If I want to apply the Verkrümmungsstabilisator on a clip, suddenly only a small neckline of the clip appears in the upper left corner when the effect has finished analyzing. The rest of the clip appears black. Why is that? Is this some wrong settings, I've met?

    Hi skwosnjak,
    Please try to switch the renderer to software only mode, So, go to File Menu>Project settings>General and change the Renderer option to Software only Mode.

  • I'm working mostly with CS6 Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator and Acrobat Pro X. Can I update from 10.6.8 to Mavericks without any problems?

    Can I update to Mavericks without any problems for CS6 Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator and Acrobat Pro X?

    I can't guarantee it, but I think it's very likely you'll have no problems. Mavericks is now up to 10.9.3, and it's extremely stable.
