Premiere CC 2014.1 bugs in new UI

Is anybody noticed that bugs in new Premiere UI? The first I noticed is when i use bezier curves on audio in track, the line is always strait. It shows curved when the line is near left end screen of timeline, and when you move the clip to the right then is strait again. The secound one is when i use audio effects on audio. The tab in wich is the EQ plugin is messed up and shows half of the plugin. Also the thumbnails in bins must be adjustable in much smaller size as it is now when the slider is all way down to smalest size. This new UI sucks because the fonts are too big when looked on 27" monitor.

There is a known bug in the H.264-Bluray export. I assume it has nothing to do with your issue, but perhaps it will give you something to consider.

It appears due to a malformed xmpses file. It creates a problem on import into Encore, and I think it should do the same upon import into Architect or it would be ignored entirely. The test is to delete the xmpses file and see if that avoids the issue.

  • Adobe Premiere CC 2014 crashing and can't open project in Premiere CC

    Hi,
    Till now I had been working with Premiere CC with no problems. I decided to try out Premiere CC 2014 with a new project, and I regret I did.
    I start working ok, but after about an hour of editing, it freezes on playback. And its a much smaller project then the ones I've worked on CC. No color correction and very few effects yet. Its frustrating. I have to force quit premiere and start over again, for a little more time before it freezes again.
    I tried to open the project in premiere CC and was surprised that I can't. I can't even save the project it appears from Premiere Pro CC 2014 to Premiere CC, just one version down??
    If anyone know a way to do this please let me know. Premiere Pro CC 2014 is not ready yet.
    I have a MacPro 5,1 running on 32 GB RAM, with an USB 3 raid drive. It worked seemlessly and pretty fast with Premiere Pro CC, while Premiere Pro CC 2014 gets clogged.
    Many thanks

    Hi, Arjun,
    My OSX version is 10.9.2 and I'm using only a Red Giant plug in in two short clips, and a RED Giant transition. I have the newest Red Giant Plug in Versions (for the Premiere Pro 2014 update), they worked fine in Premiere pro CC.
    Is there a way to take the Premiere Pro CC 2014 project to Premiere Pro CC?
    Many thanks.

  • Missing Waveform Monitors - New Install, Most Recent Premiere CC 2014

    Hi,
    I recently downloaded and installed Premiere Pro CC and related apps with a cloud subscription on a new Mac Pro tower. I connected by working RAIDs and opened a PPro project originated on my previous edit system, an iMac.  Right away I noticed some strange behavior and key features missing when I went to color correct my footage.
    With the desired timeline active in the "Editing" workspace, I used the keyboard shortcut (I also tried this with the dropdown menu) and switched the workspace to color correction. Rather than the timeline activated in the "editing" workspace, a completely different timeline in the project appeared in the "color correction" space. This occurred multiple times with seemingly every timeline, but the one I desired to correct activating in the "color correction" space.
    Also, the waveform monitors are absent from both the reference and program viewer menus. I can't seem to the find them anywhere. This leaves me feeling a bit crazy, as I was operating in the most current PPro CC version on the iMac just yesterday and everything was in its place.
    Thoughts on what  is going on here?
    Here are my system specs:
    Mac Pro
    Yosemite 10.10.1
    Processor: 3.5 GHz 6-COre Intel Xeon E5
    Memory: 32 GB 1886 MHz DDR3 ECC
    Graphics: AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB
    For now I suppose, I'll try uninstalling and re-installing the app. Other ideas? Anyone else experiencing this?
    Lindsay

    Thank you for all of the feedback. I have tried un-installing and re-installing twice now. Once using the cleaner tool and once without. Neither has remedied the problem. I was sure to check "Remove Preferences" when performing the un-install, but when I opened a new project after the re-installation, PPro opened in the "Color Correction" workspace rather than opening in the standard editing workspace and still no scopes.
    Other ideas?
    I found this thread, which isn't boosting my confidence in a healthy Premiere / Mac Pro relationship, but I have seen no mention of the missing scopes issue I am experiencing. And really I haven't progressed to the point of attempting an export or render. As you well know, scopes are vital, and there's no point exporting if I can't properly polish a product.

  • No AAC audio in Premiere CC 2014.1? [bug - resolved]

    --- Original post for reference
    I just updated to Premiere CC 2014.1 today.
    I have a set of files that I regularly convert with Handbrake into MP4s with an AAC audio stream. I have had no problems at all with CS6, CC, and CC 2014. But now with CC 2014.1, I get no audio when I import the mp4 files.
    The Project window says it is a "Video" file, not a "Movie" file. The associated icon in the Project window is also missing the waveform on it.
    When I drag it onto the timeline, only the video track appears, as you'd expect. The video alone appears to play back correctly.
    Restarting PP CC 2014.1 did not do anything.
    I loaded up PP CS6 and imported the exact same MP4 file and it works as expected. Windows Media Player has no problem playing the video file with audio either.
    What changed between CC 2014 and CC 2014.1 that could have caused this?
    This is what MediaInfo reports for the file:

    Reason: there is no Premiere Pro CC 2014.2, you probably mean 2014.1. If not, please PM me.

    Hi wired.au,
    Thanks for this solution.

    OK ... after I finished my post below about how PP CC 2014.1 would not recognize the mono AAC audio track from my MP4s, I decided to produce the same MP4 again with Handbrake, with a stereo audio track instead.
    It worked. After loading the stereo MP4, I reimported the original mono MP4 that didn't work (without restarting premiere or anything) and the mono audio is now recognized. Looks like there was a strange bug with Premiere Pro CC 2014.1 and mono AAC audio tracks, which got resolved after importing an MP4 with a stereo AAC track for the first time.
    I thought I should leave this here just in case anyone else encounters the same thing.

  • How well does a new Mac Pro work with Adobe Premiere CC 2014

    I'm trying to spec out a new Mac Pro so I can edit 4K footage from a RED camera. I currently edit using Premiere CC 2014. I've heard all kinds of bad stories with the new Mac and Premiere and was wondering if anyone has had a good experience. These are the specs I'm looking at for the mac. Thanks in advance.

    Those AMD Dxxx and drivers as well as it may take a product cycle for Adobe if they are interested in the 6,1 customer base.
    Dual AMD PCIe 7xxx and above even in dual setups, or of course you can throw one or two nVidia GTX 7xx into those silver "oMP" 2009-2012s (the 2008 just lacks good decent PCIe GPU performance with good graphic cards).
    Also the way the nMP will 'share' and throttle to limit itself to 450W and its thermal design so that both GPUs and the processor are not both given full reign (they do when running Windows 8.1 natively - 8.1 because that is the "oldest" version supported with drivers and booting via Apple).

  • Premiere Pro CC and the New Mac Pro (2014)

    I'm expecting delivery soon of a new Mac Pro, nicely loaded, which I purchased mainly because of all the work I do with video. Yet, I read in a review that Adobe Premiere Pro isn't optimized to take advantage of the new Mac Pro, won't run faster, and I'm better off using Apple's Final Cut.
    1. Is this true?; and
    2. If so, will Premiere Pro be updated any time soon to run best on a 2014 Mac Pro?
    My new Mac Pro will have the following configuration:
    3.5GHz 6-core with 12MB of L3 cache
    32GB (4x8GB) of 1866MHz DDR3 ECC
    1TB PCIe-based flash storage
    Dual AMD FirePro D700 GPUs with 6GB of GDDR5 VRAM each

    My main problem is that when i export using gpu open gl it crashes hard boot the mac pro. A 3 min timeline with 4k footage n a bunch of color grading.  I get lucky if the timeline is shorter. But i think it is a gpu issue n my mac must be fixed. Currently under apple tech support. N my case is unique. No one has had the same issue and that makes it harder for me to figure the isse and to apple figure the issue.
    If i export using software only mercury then the export goes smoothe no mattrr how long. But that defeata the point of owning a mac pro with 2 GPUs

    I have had my 12 core 2014 Mac Pro for a couple of weeks now, and I'm not very impressed with Premiere CC performance with 4K R3D on a 1920 x 1080 timeline.
    I understand that there may be an update soon that will take adantage of the CPU's and GPU's when it comes to the complex task of de-bayering the R3D footage, but it's just not there now.
    I get similar playback performance to what I experienced on my 09 Mac Pro tower.
    Any insights on getting better playback performance in this scenario would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • New iMac Retina for Premiere CC 2014

    Hi everyone,
    we're ready to upgrade a couple of PCs here at the studio and I think we are probably jump over to the Mac wagon. We love the idea of getting the new Retina iMacs (maxed out) with i7 4.0GHZ and 32 RAM, flash storage.... There are a few considerations on top of performance like compactness, portability and yes...design. There are however a couple of questions:
    - Will the iMacs excel in editing HD footage with Premiere CC 2014, we need them to edit like a hot knife cuts through butter
    - In terms of editing with external hard drives, is USB 3 a good idea until we can afford some Thunderbolt drives?
    - I read the new iMacs will come with AMD graphic cards so I guess they wont be able to use the CUDA Mercury engine?
    thanks for your help,
    Guille

    The Mercury Engine can use OpenCL in Radeon cards. That being said, the R9 M290X is not in the list of currently supported cards, and therefore the Mercury Engine should default to Software Only.
    Adobe won't add the R9 M290X to the list of supported cards until they can fully test it. So hopefully they will add it in a future update (*fingers crossed*).
    Until then, you may be better off with a maxed out 27" iMac which has the GeForce GTX 775M, which is supported. It will no doubt perform better, and yes it will be like a hot knife through butter.

  • Bug in Premiere Pro 2014.1

    Hello everyone,
    there is a bug in Premiere Pro 2014.1 (81) - when you want to replase klip from bin or from sourse monitor on klip in your timeline (and speed of your clip on timeline is not 100%, it is set to 50% , or 60% - it is not matter) it happends, but it replaced not from moment, that you are deside (with your IN button), it replaced from the another point of the video. It happends only if your klip on timeline is not set on 100% speed (then it is on 100% speed - everything is work perfect). In previus build (AP 2014.0.1 (21)) all work perfect in any case .
    Maybe someone faced a similar problem and knows its solution ?
    Best regards , Alex

    Anyone from Adobe care to offer some insight as it's something that is reportedly fixed?

  • New Adobe Premiere CC 2014 release update

    Does anyone know when the next update for Adobe Premiere CC 2014.1 release might be days, weeks or months?

    Hopefully days - because I've stopped using CC2014 until the 'cool' flat blue phone app colour scheme is removed.
    I'll be an ex-customer at the end of January if I remain unable to work with it. 
    After 21 years, it seems a bit sad.

  • Premiere Pro 2014 is crashing and freezing and I have to use force quit to get it to shut down.

    Premiere Pro 2014 is crashing every day. i am running Premiere Pro 2014 on a 2013 imac with 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5 with 16  GB RAM. Playback on premiere continually freezes and the program crashes. Or the playback will start to freeze and then I save and close the project file/program, but the program will not close and I have to force quit. This is extremely frustrating. Premiere Pro CC was super stable and I rarely if ever had a problem. I have changed my permissions to give myself read/write. I have created a new project file in 2014 and then imported all my sequences from my updated project file but none of these strategies have worked. I am considering creating a new project file and going back to working solely in CC because I am on a deadline and troubleshooting this issue is taking up so much time.

    I have had to force quit PP CC four times today. The fourth was when it crashed while trying to reopen it. I have had exactly the same problems as described above. I have no solutions to offer. I will go through a week of constant Premiere Pro bugs and poor performance then experience a period that seems too good to be true only to end up having a day like today. I can't believe that they call this a professional editing suite. It just wastes so much of my time pissing around trying to fix things and managing all the extra render and preview files it makes each time I have to save a new copy of a project which usually results in renaming it. It gets confusing after a while. Really not happy with this and have begun to learn Avid so as soon as this project is done, PP will be history.

  • Premiere CC 2014 continuously generating peak files

    Hey all,
    I have a problem that seems to have started last week, when I finally had the time to upgrade to 2014 (was in the middle of a few projects and did not want any 'new software issues' to us slow down).
    I expect the generation to happen upon import, but I see that it is hitting the same files over and over. I checked the cache folder this morning to see what it was doing and was shocked to see that it was generating thousands of .pek files.
    I have included a screenshot of the folder. This is for just one file in my project and there were 3839 of these when I came in this morning. It is also happening for all the other files in the project.
    So it would seem that after it gets finished running through all the files in the project, it starts over and does another set, then another, and so on.
    So, I turned off auto peak file generation and quit the program. When I restarted while no more peaks were generated, no waveforms are showing up (odd given that there are so many to choose from).
    Any clue as to why this is happening?
    On the current project I am using H.264 (720 29.97) files and ProRes (Lt) 1080 29.97 files (if this makes a difference).
    Mac (mid 2012) 10.8.3 - 2 x 2.4 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
    24 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC
    NVIDIA Quadro K5000 4096 MB
    Is this a bug, or new feature that I need to disable? I did not have this problem with CC (pre 2014).

    I had this problem on Win 7. Deleted ALL of the peak files associated with the project and relaunched. It took a while for Premiere to create all new peak files, but eventually it stopped continuously rec-creating them.
    A few other things:
    If you set the Preferences to Media - Save Media Cache Files next to the originals where possible, it may alleviate some problems.
    Also, Premiere will create PEK files for as many audio tracks as are in the source media - even if you do not have any audio in these tracks.

  • Premiere cc 2014+ENCODER cc 2014

    ЗДРАВСТВУТЕ появился вопрос:используя Premiere cc 2014 вместе с ENCODER. при экспорте в него и выводе образуются офлайн кадры!
    какова вероятность, что это глюк или я не правильно настроил что-то не так?  ENCODER cc 2014 - обновился до версии где голубой интерфейс, а Premiere- нет!

    I am having a similar problem.
    Premiere Pro CC 2014 suddenly decided to crash every time I export to either Adobe Media Encoder or within Premiere itself.
    The encode will usually go for 5-10 minutes before the programs either spits out a "serious error has occurred" window, or it just sits there frozen until I force quit.
    I did find a work-around for the moment. If I open AME and FILE > OPEN, select my project and then the sequence I want, AND put it in Software render mode, it will work.
    My timeline is 2K, 58 minutes in 23.976
    Only effects applied are Lumetri LUTs - no third party.
    I've exported as recently as a week ago without issue.
    Running OSX 9.5 on an X99 board
    3.75 GHz 8-core
    64GB 2400 MHz RAM
    EVGA Titan Black 6GB
    Because I can get my renders out, I am not too concerned. Either there is something wonky with my timeline that screws with any graphics enabled rendering, or there is a bug that is have the same effect. I will try rendering on another of my edit bays that utilizes a GTX 580 that I KNOW works. The Titan is pretty new to my workflow.
    Thanks Adobe, for checking this out.

    What does the detailed crash report say?
    And have you updated your video card drivers from the GPU maker's website? (most crashes on launch are due to bugs in out of date video card drivers)

  • Adobe Premiere CC 2014, regularly licensed (Mac Pro early 2008, Mac OSX 10.9.4).Adobe Premiere CC 2014, media offline, not playing, unusable.

    Adobe Premiere CC 2014, regularly licensed (Mac Pro early 2008, Mac OSX 10.9.5, Graphic Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB).
    Hi guys,
    since the CC2014 version of Premiere has been released (on Creative Cloud) I'm experiencing - really often - the MEDIA PENDING (yellow background) issue... even if the clip can be found right clicking and selecting "reveal in finder" or "reveal in project", in the timeline the clip can't be played. Not to mention the many many problems the app is causing stopping working suddenly and obligating me to restart the system to have it regularly working again (usually it stops reproducing the video, only the audio stays alive, but the playhead seems freezes there where I left it).
    One more problem: all the app (and customized) keyboard shortcuts are gone. Totally disappeared (this happened just after the last update, CC v8.1 Caravan. Synching from CC was unsuccessful.
    Please don't suggest me to contact the adobe italian service to have an help... the last time (almost the same problem) they just made me lose time with some basic procedure checks that I knew were not leading me anywhere.
    I ask sorry for my polemic tone, it's a few months that Adobe Premiere is not working anymore as before. And you can't immagine how many hours I've lost.
    Thank you very much,
    My best regards,
    Stefano Bianchi.

    Guys, would you suggest me a new graphic card (in case, which model on this Mac - would be great a 4 or 6 MB VRAM GPU) or a new Mac Pro? This is still a great machine, but it's starting becoming unusable due to this Premiere issue (that is day by day more severe).
    Thanks a lot for any suggestion,

  • Updated to Premiere CC 2014 and AE CC 2014 and now have blue lines/blue imprints of windows and crashes after 5 minutes of use or on start up

    iMac - 27 ", late 2012
    Processor  3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB
    Software  OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
    After I updated from CS6 to CC 2014, my screen started to display blue lines and/or a blue imprint of a previously closed window, and Premiere CC 2014 and AE CC 2014 began crashing after about five minutes of use. Also, an error message popped up telling me to update my CUDA driver. I took the iMac into Apple and after updating the CUDA driver in store with an Apple associate, the error message went away. They were concerned about the blue lines, and after 3 days of hardware testing, they determined that the screen was not failing, the hardware was in great shape and the lines and crashing must be a software related issue. I took the computer home, uninstalled and reinstalled AE using the appropriate installer, and rebooted. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled Premiere using the Premiere installer and rebooted again. During the second restart a blue imprint of the Google Chrome window I had had open before the reboot was imprinted over the welcome/password screen. I typed in my password, opened up the Premiere project I'd been working on and immediately, the always dramatic message "A serious issue as occurred..." popped up. I tried opening it again, saved a new recovery copy and started to work on the project. Five minute later it froze up and I had to force quit. This happened two more times, both roughly after five minutes of use....back to square one.
    Obviously, this is seriously hurting my workflow. Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated!
