Disappointed in CS6 and Adobe in general

I am more and more disappointed in CS6 and Adobe in general.  I no longer have any respect for Adobe or their products.
I can't read the new title editing function in Premiere CS6 (it was fine in CS5). Somebody here said you can make it bigger: No you can't. You can make the box bigger like a picture frame around the edit, but the text is still unchanged and unreadable. Soundbooth was usable as a wave editor, Audition is not. Installed on an AMD machine, Premiere Pro CS6 imports Nikon video as audio and after more than a month of playing with it Adobe's India supper support still doesn't have a clue.
Dreamweaver CS5 Ste files won't fully import into CS3 or CS5 (it can't read the FTP user/pass), my install of Encore CS6 is missing all the menu templates and buttons so I go back to CS5, and I was totally disappointed that CS6 won't edit in 3D. The After Effects work around for 3D is a joke.
The Master Collection download install file is just a little too large to fit a backup on any DVD. How inconvenient! The first one kept asking for "Disk 2 - English/Japan". It would be nice if they got it right before releasing it to the public.
Finally frustrated with the idiocy of Adobe, I bought Grass Valley Edius 6.5. When I called GV for a minor issue I got an office in the USA on the second ring and a quick, correct answer. Everybody there speaks clear English. The Edius product simply works (it's been a broadcast news editoring standard for years) and I can also edit 3D.  I can actually see titles when I'm editing them. It imports any file I want correctly, including the Nikon files that Premiere CS6 can't. It has all the functions that Premiere does, including good stabilization, and a few that Premiere does not.
And Grass Valley Edius is a product from Japan!
Wake up Adobe, your ship is sinking fast into the Indian Sea and I'm sailing in the other direction.

I had another adventure today. Learning from this forum that the menus and buttons missing from Encore CS6 were in a "missing items" update, I downloaded and installed the update only to find there were still no backgrounds, no buttons and only a few "menus". So I contacted Adobe Chat Support. I was put in contact with Rahul.
I filled in form indicating that the missing files update did not contain very many missing files.
Rahul asked what the error message was.
I said there was no error, that Encore CS6 after installing the update still contained no backgrounds or buttons.
Rahul asked for the serial number. I provided it.
Then Rahul asked what the error message was.
Rahul is not paying attention.
3 cents per hour would be overpayed for Rahul.
Rahul is not unlike all the others I've encounter with Adobe's outsourced support. They don't pay attention. They simply don't understand plain English. They are robots.
Adobe is not saving anything by hiring people who act like robots and accomplish nothing. They are only alienating customers. (Double meaning on the word "alienating")
Two other "Rahuls" wasted hours doing the same things over and over by remote into my computer trying to figure out the AVI files that came up as audio only, and they solved nothing.

  • Issues with CS6 and Adobe Application Manager

    When trying to open an Adobe CS6 application, a crashing loop begins. The AAM opens and closes once per second in the Dock, along with the application I was attempting to open.  Because of the constant open and closing of these apps, it's almost impossible to get the mouse or keyboard to focus for enough time to do a force quit on either application, and a hard reboot is usually required to break out of the cycle. I had the entire suite uninstalled and reinstalled, but several weeks later, the issue resurfaced.

    There was an issue with the serialization file created.
    Creating a new serilaization file via AAMEE and running it resolved the issue.
    Create a serialization file via AAMEE: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/creativesuite/pdfs/Ad obeApplicationManagerEnterpriseEditionDeploymentGuide_v_3_1.pdf
    And then run it via command line.
    Here are the steps:
    AdobeSerialization (serialization file created using AAMEE 3.1) is not a double clickable file. You need to run it via command line to serialize the products. the command line is -
    AdobeSerialization --tool=VolumeSerialize --stream --provfile=”Absolute_Path_of_prov.xml”
    where
    --tool=VolumeSerialize:  specifies that the tool needs to process the prov.xml file to serialize.
    --provfile” specifies the absolute file path to the prov.xml file,
    By default, the tool looks for the prov.xml file in the same directory as the executable file and so
    typically you do not need to specify this option. (Specify this option only if the prov.xml file is in some
    other location.)
    Make sure you invoke command prompt with Admin privileges. Return code of zero means success.
    Tiffany can you please confirm the same?

  • CS6 and Adobe ID

    My question has to do with deployment, we create master images and then clone them to multiple other systems. With versions of creative suite prior to 6 we could enter the serial number in the gold image and everything would work great. With CS6 we can still enter the key but now an adobe id and login is required within 7 days. How can we get around having to manually do that on each system we deploy to?

    I think this blog might help you out:

  • CS6 and Adobe cc

    I have Creative Suite CS6  will I get the same as my creative suite

    That's right – the new Adobe CC release is a paid upgrade to last year's CS6 version, but there are discounts available for current CS customers going back to CS3, CS4, and CS5 as well as CS6.
    There is and will be no CS7 version; CC is the next in line.

  • InDesign CS6 and Adobe Viewer - Unable to view Folio

    So today I upgraded to CS6. But when I went to update one of my Folios I could not view it on my iPad Adobe Content Viewer app. I get the error message of…
    "Please update your app: The issue is available for download, but requires a newer version of the app. Please update your app from the App Store."
    Problem is when I goto the App Store, there is no update for the Content Viewer.
    Is there an update waiting for Apple approval or did I do something wrong. I even tried a new test Folio but with the same error. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    The new viewer is still in review with Apple. See the status message at the top of the forum for updates.

  • Flash Pro CS6 and Adobe AIR (and Android APK)

    I have a compiled SWF that I can't convert to a newer ActionScript 3.0 format.  Anything that I try breaks the file.  It is basically just an animation with a tad bit of code on the Movie Clips.  I can't seem to identify the culprit that causes the newer files to generate with errors so I have decided to use the load method to load the ActionScript 1/2 format into an AS 3.0 container.  This still does not work for generating APK's directly.
    However when I generate a desktop AIR file it plays just fine.
    Is there a way to take the AIR file and convert it to an APK using the command line?  I have heard of using adt on the command line but most posts speak of converting SWF's directly.  I would like to try it with the already-compiled AIR file.  If I use the SWF I might as well compile that into a non-functioning APK directly from Flash.  That's not what I'm looking to do.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi kglad,
    Yes I have the original FLA.
    I think you're right, working with it to convert it to AS3 would be optimal.  Unfortunately it is not such an easy task because I tried that route already and I thought I had a good file but in the Android APK it still played back strangely.  With the desktop AIR I didn't have any problems after using the original FLA to reauthor the SWF movie.
    I also find it strange that when I try to import the SWF into a version of Flash below CC it does not import properly.  I guess at runtime it takes some of the ActionScript commands into account but at import-time to get it into the Library or on Stage it throws the AS out the window.
    Best,

  • Adobe After Effects CS6 and Premiere CS6 wont work on OS lion

    This shows you what's new in Premiere CC 2014, and you can use the links on the left side of that page to see earlier updates.
    (CS6 is an old version, which was followed by CC and CC 2014)
    And of course CC is subscription based and CS6 is a program you used to be able to purchase and own forever.

    That doesn't look like a complete panic report. Is there any more to it? Regardless, I suggest you run the extended form of the Apple Hardware Test. If it fails to identify a fault, remove the RAM upgrade and test with the original RAM.

  • Playback is entirely broken in CS6 and Elements

    I have a frustratingly persistent problem: When I hit space or "play" to play my timeline, nothing at all happens.
    This happens regardless of what files I put in the timeline (it even happens if the timeline has just an audio file or a photo). The program lets me put clips into the timeline, render them, and scrub through them manually by dragging the slider. It just won't play the timeline.
    The problem only began after I'd already used the program normally for about an hour. And bafflingly, every now and then—twice so far in my few dozen attempts to use the program—this problem disappears and the timeline plays just fine.
    An Adobe Support employee used screenshare to try fixing the problem by creating a root user account for me, but using it changed nothing.
    Technical details:
    New iMac 27" with a clean install of OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2
    Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and Adobe Premiere Elements 11 (problem occurs with both)
    Fixes I've tried:
    Logging in as root
    Replacing com.apple.audio.AggregateDevices.plist by deleting/renaming it (I don't have the file)
    Replacing com.apple.audio.AggregateDevices.plist by creating an aggregate device with Audio MIDI Setup (does not create file)
    Repairing disk permissions, repairing disk, then trying all the above
    Installing new NVIDEA driver
    Uninstalling and re-installing Premiere
    My problem seems very similar to another user's unresolved reported issue: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4822956 I've messaged that user asking if they found a solution, but received no reply.

    Just to get this out of the way early, as a test, make sure that the Timeline Panel has focus, and try the Spacebar again. While the Timeline will play, with many other Panels having focus, I have encountered times, where, say focus on the Project Panel, will not allow the Timeline to play.
    In PrPro, there is an orange border around any Panel with focus, but PrE is not so easy to spot, unless you are looking at the Timeline Panel's border, when you click on it, and notice a very subtle (I mean VERY subtle) change.
    Good luck,

  • PSE 10  and Adobe CS6: When running silent install help is not working afterwards

    Hello,
    I'm not sure if this is the correct forum. If not: Please help me find the correct one.
    I have a big issue with Adobe CS6 (and former versions like Photoshop Elements 10): When installing it from DVD running GUI everything is working fine afterwards. If I install e.g. Photoshop Elements 10 using "Silent Installation" help is not working afterwards. It states that it cannot locate the URL. I have not installed AIR and also do not plan to install it.
    I have 'played' a little around with Common Files\Adobe\helpcfg and help directory. Now at least I do not get an error message but still it's not the online help which opens in the browser but the web page that is defined as 'home'.
    The same I see now in Adobe CS6. I have e.g. packaged After Effects and Illustrator and when deploying it I'm not able to open help as well and I fear that this is the same issue.
    Has anyone deeper knowledge about how "helpcfg" is working? Any example files? Any other help appreciated as well.
    Kind regards
    János

    @hannilator Have you checked the exceptions folder contents for instructions on how to push to logged off computers? Here's what I get when I package CS6 (DesignWebPrem) and excude AIR/CHC:
    After you have deployed the package, separately install the products in the exception folder.
    IMPORTANT: Before you install the products in the exception folder, refer to the following Adobe Knowledgebase article for information on installing these products and configuring the settings correctly:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/aamee_exceptions
    NOTE: The installation commands provided below will work when the user is logged in to the client machine where the package is being deployed. For the scenario where the user is not logged in, prefix the following string to the command:
    sudo launchctl bsexec `ps auwwx |grep [l]oginwindow | awk '{ print $2 }'`
    As an example, here is the command to install "Adobe AIR" when the user is not logged in to the client machine (assuming Adobe AIR is part of the package):
    sudo launchctl bsexec `ps auwwx |grep [l]oginwindow | awk '{ print $2 }'` Adobe\ AIR\ Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ AIR\ Installer -silent
