Adobe CS6 - Breaking News!

Some members of the Adobe CS team(Dennis Radeke and 2 others - sorry, forgot their names, but they were PPro/AME team people) were in attendance at the Atlanta Cutters meeting last night. You'll all be happy to know that they revealed quite a bit about the next version - CS6. Here's the quickie info on CS6, I've quoted as carefully as I can:
- "It's coming in 2012"
- "It's going to be amazing"
- "It's pretty exciting"
I hope they don't get fired for revealing all of that info. I'm sure you all are very excited, as I was last night, to be able to gain such an early look at the next generation of video editing.
In all seriousness, they were very good at the one thing they were really there to do - convert FCP dissidents - and answered a few questions people had - again, mostly about migrating from FCP. Quite nice to hear my FCP friends talking afterward about how it's a done deal, Adobe is the here-and-now. All this in spite of the fact that Media Composer 6 is basically here now as well.
Sorry to get everybody all excited with the thread title...I really couldn't help myself. It was refreshing, though, to see not 1, not 2, but 3 reps from Adobe at a relatively small user group meeting in Atlanta (150 attendees, more or less) and this is after they've already been out here once this year. Says a lot about the development of the production community here in Atlanta for the last few years, but also says a lot about Adobe's committment to listening to their customers and working constantly to solve problems and develop new solutions that fit our various workflows. I still remember the old days where Premiere Pro was seemingly an unsupported piece of Adobe refuse, meant simply to fill a gap and keep people working with AE. Those days are as long-gone as they can be now, and the good times are rolling on.

I wanted so bad to read this thread and get excited the way I used to about Adobe product launches. But not today. You Adobe folks just don't get it. FIXING THE DISASTEROUS BUGS that your products have ought to be the no-doubt-number-one-and-there-is-no-question-about-it priority. I con't give a crap about a bunch of new buggy features added to an already buggy product when I feel like I got ripped off with the last upgrade. Seriously, how can you guys sleep?
I've submitted many, many bug reports to Adobe over the past year or two - in particular pertaining to the very well known constant crashes and memories leaks in both Dreamweaver and Fireworks - and not only has Adobe not made any progress in improving the reliability of these products, but they have the audacity to release competitive products and offer pseudo-upgrades like "FIREWORKS CS5.1" in the CS5.5 package, and WITHOUT even fixing the problems Fireworks had OR adding ANY new features,  AND YET they ask us to pay for the upgrade?!?!? Seriously, WTF? My wife an I are both UI developers and we use different computers, different make/model, different preferences, software and setups, and I can't count how ofter we look at each other and say "Dreamweaver just crashed again lol". It's disgusting. I'm not alone in this opinion by a long shot.
But the worst part of all is the insulting replies or dismissive comments from Adobe employees suggesting that all of us "obviously-edge-case" users sumit bug reports when the things we're complaining about are extremely well known, described and discussed, happen extremely often during routine use of Adobe products, and are in all other ways extremely typical-of-adobe-products bugs.
I'm a big supporter of submitting bug reports  crashes and wierd UI behaviors. But I'm not a beta tester, I paid like $2500 for this crap. And the bugs aren't rare, and they are can't be described within the context of a specific action or operation. Rather we are being asked to submit bug reports for things like "Dreamweaver crashes while I'm eating lunch and I'm not at my computer", literally, or "Dreamweaver crashes when I'm typing" - again, literally, or "Dreamweaver crashes when it's launching" or "Dreamweaver crashes when I do a save". It's just infuriatingly patronizing. Adobe employees know full well that their products crash hella-often, and they know full well that we're pissed about it. How about you apologize AND fix the problems, and then start trying to con us into your next updgrade. Maybe I don't get it, but it seems like common sense to fix the problems first. Once that's out of the way we would be happy to focus on submitting feature requests and supporting Adobe's rabid launching of canaballistic products that alienate current ripped-off customers.

    I bought a brand new Mac 27" desktop that came loaded with Adobe CS6. Everything worked like a charm until the hard drive, 1Tb, developed a bad sector and the Apple Store reinstalled a new one as I had extended warranty with them. They recycled the drive immediately (like a fool I didn't ask for it back to get the data off it.) But luckily I have all my data on CrashPlan. I downloaded it and it worked great except I downloaded it to the desktop and not the original location so it got squirrely. I also have an external 1.5Tb drive that I wanted to make bootable so I installed Mavericks 10.9.3 . I then went ahead and installed it on the newly installed drive too.
    I think that because I have a new drive Adobe thinks I have a news computer. I bought the 27" Mac brand new from Ebay and it came loaded with software, including CS6. I have a serial number for CS6 but Adobe said it wasn't valid. (I have owned CS2, CS4 and now CS6 which came preloaded onto the Mac by the seller who told me that the software was registered to the Mac???
    I am going to re-download the backup but this time to the original location (I still don't think it will work with Adobe. What can I do about this?

  • Can i get a new serial number for Adobe CS6 Design Standard for Students and Teachers?

    I have had to re-install my Adobe CS6 Design Standard for students and teachers after having problems with my computer (MacBook Pro)
    I am wondering if there is a way to access my old serial number from when I originally installed CS6, or do I have to start over again and get a new serial number?
    Help is greatly appreciated!!

    You normally use the same serial number that you are first issued.  If you registered your product when you first installed it then you should be able to find your setial number available thru your Adobe account online.

    As we were instructed I attempted to download the new Adobe Cloud to replace Adobe CS6 as it is about to expire.  It had been downloading for about an hour when I lost power due to a storm. It was only off 20 minutes. When it came back up it had stopped because my internet of course was also off. Now I have tried to do it again and it tells me “that number has already been approved and uploaded” However, it has not because I do not have the cloud programs yet. I still have my CS6 but I am not sure what to do from here. Can you assist with this please?

    After admittedly only a quick read the one thing you don't say is how you are trying to make this move.  Most people with moving library issues do it the wrong way.  Plenty of web sites tell you how to do it the wrong way.
    If the iTunes application is started before the drive with the library is fully mounted and awake iTunes will revert back to the internal drive.

  • New AJAVideo Mac & Windows Plug-Ins for @Adobe CS6

    New #AJAVideo Mac & Windows Plug-Ins for @Adobe #CS6 now available! Read more http://bit.ly/IfTKL9 download http://bit.ly/JcwWfx

    First off - yay.
    In the little amount of time I have had to test, the first thing I notice is that the video out to my ext. monitor seems to lag by a few frames from the program monitor in Pr.  AJA support is great in their help, but I'm wondering before I bother them, is anyone else seeing this - is there a setting to be tweaked? 
    Also, the video out is looking a touch soft to me - I have a Flanders Scientific Grade 1 monitor, so it is not the hardware.  I may need to test this a bit more with other footage, but it was my first impression.  Wonder if the settings here need to be tweaked as well.
    I had visions that Transmit would output the hoverscrub, but it looks like you have to click on the clip and play back before it is displayed exernally.  But, on second thought, I don't know how that would be utilized, since the video out would have to suddenly switch every time you hover your mouse over the clips in the bins.
    Having said all that, I am thrilled to finally have this driver!

  • Adobe CS6 doesn't read the new Canon 7d Mark 2 Raw format.

    Hi.
    I bought the new Canon Eos 7d Mark 2, but Adobe CS6 doesn't read the new RAW-format. I can't find any helpful information. Does a plug in already exist? Thanks for any helpful information.
    Best regards, Jean-Paul

    Adobe has not yet issued an updated Camera Raw plugin to read 7D Mark II Raw files.
    Lots of people waiting for it. See Adobe Camera Raw
    In the meantime, use the Canon DPP software, save as TIFF then open in Photoshop.

  • New MacBook Pros not compatible with Adobe CS6

    I am having constant crashes with inDesign cs6 on new MacBook Pro. Lost a lot of the functionality of my printer—NO LONGER DUPLEXES! That was the purpose of that printer. Anyone with similar experiences. Shame on Apple for not coordinating efforts with Adobe before release!!!

    Shame on Adobe. Have you posted in their support forum?

    Hi Amanda,
    Software applications are usually installed in the Applications folder on the Macintosh HD and are accessible to all users.
    I would advise you to check the Applications folder and see if your software is in there.
    Next step would be to Control Click or Right Click on the application and choose "Get Info" and make sure the permissions are set to "Read & Write" for all users. The article below provides more details:

    You may need to contact Adobe Support if this does not resolve your issue:

  • Adobe CS6 is out! new DPS features?

    Adobe CS6 is out! Will that bring new features to DPS or viceversa?
    Thank you,
    al3nai

    I am so excited CS6 is finally out
    There's one big feature that should interest DPS folks: alternate layouts. In InDesign CS6 you can now have one InDesign file that contains layouts for multiple orientations and/or devices.
    Here's one easy example of where that's helpful: no more "_H" and "_V" files littering your machine. Just one InDesign document that has both H and V inside. Here's another example: one file that has your iPad and your Kindle Fire layouts in it.
    The best part about this is the text is linked between the layouts, so if you have to make a text change somewhere you can do it once, the links panel will indicate the other layouts are out-of-date, and you can update the link to make the change ripple across the other layouts in the file. Typo correction is now far less painful.
    You can also use the new page rules feature to define ways for InDesign to automatically create layouts for you. For example, you can start with an iPad layout, apply some page rules, and generate the Kindle Fire layout.
    One small feature to look forward to: you can directly paste HTML snippets into your file and automatically get a web overlay with that HTML.
    Note that to actually produce folios using the above you'll need the next release of DPS. The current release (v19) does not support CS6.

  • I've downloaded two adobe cs6 files to a new computer.  How do I activate photoshop with these files?

    I've downloaded two adobe cs6 files to a new computer.  How do I activate photoshop with these files?

    i said the 2nd file name you listed in message 6 was incorrect, not the file name in message 8.
    but if the file name message 8 is correct, both names in message 6 are incorrect.  or you just might have a typo for the first file name.
    in any case, make sure both file names are exactly the same but have different (a 7z and an exe) extensions, put both in the same directory and then click the exe.
