No more Encore Chapter Marker button (or shortcut). 
Jim, I agree with lots of your issues. I'll add two myself below. But for the Chapter Marker...I'm pretty sure I was able to go into Keyboard Shortcuts and type "Chapter" and chapter marker came up. I set it to the letter E for Encore and ignored the previous E shortcut, but you could do anything. Now it adds a chapter marker with one click. See if this works for you.
My main two issues so far with Premiere Pro CC (I used it only for one full day but then had to leave and go back to CS6 due to issue #1):
1) The Multicam Bug. I'd elaborate but there's a whole thread to describe just how bad this bug is:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1236698?start=40&tstart=0
2) Appearance Issue: If you switch appearance to "Light Background" Premiere no longer adjusts other colors making some things disappear or be very hard to see. You basically can't see your in to out points! In CS6, working with the light background was just as optimized as the dark background. For example, with PPro CC, if you mark an in/out point on the source monitor or timeline it's light in color. Switch to light background and that color stays light and disappears into the background so you almost can't see it. In Premiere CS6 that in to out point turned light blue so you could still see it. Also, selected clips in the timeline are white and sort of blend in with the now light background. Dark background looks cool, but it can be hard on the eyes so I'd hope Adobe fixes some of these appearance issues so the light background is actually usable.
There's lots to like for sure, and I'm sure I'll have more for this list...but this was my "first impression".

  • The thread for good things about Premiere CC

    I know that people will use these forums to communicate complaints about the new Preimere CC, or to ask questions about things that have changed and become confusing.  People who are happy with the new software, however, may not be inclined to start a new thread to say so.  So this thread is specifically for communicating things about Premiere CC that are noticablely better than in earlier versions.  I, for one, need this information as much as the criticism in making my decision about whether to upgrade or not.
    J. D.

    There are lots of things to like about PPro CC. However, I do believe it's important to know of the issues that may affect your particular workflow before you update. You can look at their product page and see all the great new features in action in their tutorial videos, but only in this forum will you hear if they have issues or not. Sometimes looking at a forum like this makes you think that the program is totally screwed...but most forums can make you feel that way. My experience is a fairly positive one but with one big setback.
    LOTS TO LIKE:
    If you have CS6, I think it depends on your workflow and what you use Premiere for which should determine whether it's wise for you to update at this point. You can always download the trial and see what you think. They made many awesome improvements to the editing "finesse" as they like to call it. Things like through-edits, paste attributes, easily expandable (with one scroll) and solo-able audio tracks are nice combined with bigger features like the added "looks", wider GPU support, and audio clip mixer (although, can you undo if you mess up with that mixer?). Honestly there are so many other little things they tweaked and improved that many go almost unnoticed. Long time FCP7 users like myself really enjoyed many of the updates.
    THINGS TO BE AWARE OF:
    Three things however, after just one week, stand out to me as either confusing, or completely unacceptible based on my personal experience:
    1) Multicam is essentially broken. If it's important to you, I recommend you wait until it's fixed. Sure, you can do it, but be aware of the issue with re-doing any of it before you start. As people have said in previous posts, it's great that you can now stop/pause/forward/rewind without it making a cut on a timeline during a multicam edit. I also like that the audio meters now work while editing multicam. But just know there is a new bigger issue with CC Multicam that, if you are not aware of it, can set you back hours and hours:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1236698?tstart=0
    2) Be aware that Encore is not included with the new CC update. It's a bit perplexing why they did this but you can just download (or keep installed) Encore CS6 and all will be fine. Moving away from DVD/Bluray disc creation over time is fine, but cutting the ties now is makes about as much sense to me as if they only allowed Premiere editors to edit 4k footage and nothing else. Oh well, at least you can use CS6.
    3) One other post (#20) here mentioned "appearance" issues with PPro CC. I agree with his assessment but I'll take it one step futher. I think the dark background looks so cool on these programs...BUT... editing 10 hours a day 6 days a week with white letters on a dark background can start to kill my eyes so in CS6 I switched "appearances" and made it a light background. Not as cool, but it worked better for me. Problem solved! The problem with Premiere Pro CC is that, unlike in CS6, making the background lighter ONLY adjusts the background BUT the rest of the clips and markings don't adjust to make it usable. What do I mean? Try this...on CS6 go to Preferences>Appearance and make the background light. Now in your source/program monitor, mark and in and out point. Notice how the selected area is now light blue and visable against the light background. Now try that same thing in Premiere Pro CC, and you'll realize that the same selected area did not adjust to the changing of the appearance and it remains light colored and disappears into the background now. Bizzare. Small issue I guess in the grand scheme of things, but still, an important design element that became worse, not better, coming from CS6.
    I'm a fan of Creative Cloud. I realize all new software will have it's bugs. But I do get nervous at the thought of this program updating often and bugs as big as the multicam bug being overlooked prior to a public release. Personally, I'd rather they wait and fix it first when it's that big.

  • I'm reading way to many bad things about the new Lion... is it worth it??

    I'm reading way to many bad things about the new Lion... is it worth the upgrade and hassle or will this push me back to Google for e-mail, calendars and contacts? I love my Mobile.Me... Why change whats working for an OS thats not working ?

    The more you read these forums the more you'd mistakenly think that Lion is generally a problem.
    For every person who comes here with a problem there's many thousands who are running Lion hassle-free, including me.
    I've used MobileMe since the beginning and have happily moved to iCloud, There's a couple of things you may miss from MobileMe in the short term but those things like iWeb hosting are going away anyway in June.
    I suggest you join the millions of Happy Lion Users. Just back up your data in case you absolutely need to do a clean install back to Snow Leopard.

    What are the bad things about Apple Remote Desktop? Need it for my assignment

    Is your assignment about managing a classroom full of Macs?
    Otherwise, Screen Sharing, or a VNC client/server, or TeameViewer.com, or LogMeIn.com might be better, and less expensive.
    ARD is intended for managing a classroom or office full of Macs. It is overkill for remotely accessing a remote Mac or two.

    I currently have Snow Leopard and am thinking of upgrading to Lion but have heard some bad things about it.  Should I upgrade or not? What do you like/dislike about Lion?

    It is indeed all down to what you need to do with your machine.   Snow leopard is an excellent OS and as Baltwo suggests you have to check out your current apps and programs because PPC won't work on any higher OS than the one you have.
    Andy's comment is very interesting and, I suspect, insider knowledge based     Certainly I would wait for Mavericks now it is on the horizon ... and then add six months or so for the bugs to be ironed out.
    Good luck, whatever you do.   I'm staying with Snow Leopard.

  • Good and bad things about Bridge CS6 Beta

    The good thing first: No memory leaks anymore. No crashing, no freezing, no write errors when running Bridge scripts on large numbers of image files. Ah—what a relief!
    In comparison this this, the bad things are just trifles. First—when selecting the exposure data to show up under each thumbnail then the aperture number will get rounded down to the nearest integer. So, for example, apertures of f/1.4, f/1.7, f/2, f/2.8, f/3.5, f/5.6, f/6.3, f/6.7 will get presented as 1.0, 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0, 6.0, 6.0, respectively. In the EXIF data, the aperture numbers are correct, and Camera Raw 7.0 will display the correct numbers. Second—when starting Bridge CS6 or Photoshop CS6 then the monitor will get switched off for a brief moment. The screen goes completely black for two seconds or so, then returns as if it was in stand-by mode. It's nothing severe but very annoying.
    Windows XP (32 bit) SP3; CPU Athlon Dual-Core 64 X2 6000+; RAM 4 GB installed, 3 GB used; graphic card AMD Radeon HD 2600 Pro (AMD Catalyst Display Driver from March 2012 installed); monitor Dell Ultra-Sharp 2407WFP-HC (24", 1920×1200 px) connected via DVI, no second monitor.

    What camera produced the files?
    Doesn't matter. I have files from two different cameras, Sony A900 and Leica M9, all shot in both JPEG and raw format (ARW for the Sony; DNG 1.0 for the Leica). The issue occurs with the thumbnails of both the JPEG and raw files. For the very same files, the issue is not there in Bridge CS5.

    It's often good to run the latest ones.
    Well ... the previous version of the display driver actually was the latest, at the time of installing CS6 Beta. The current driver version came out only two days ago.

  • What are the rules for keeping things running smoothly

    As my iMac is now a month old and has been burdened with a number of trials, shareware demo, open source, video tutorials and general clutter; what are the basic rules for keeping things running smoothly? My 'log in' is certainly a lot slower although I don't have any apps loading and finder has become much slower with less spring in it's tail. Are there any caches etc that need dealing with? I'm afraid to say I was a bit of a pro at hammering my windows setups till they came to a stand still and I can't bare to see the Mac going the same way. Have I got to be ruthless and limit the number of apps I have installed? The quality of what is available just on apple.com makes it hard for a software addict to stop downloading Any help or just a reality check would be much appreciated....rob

    Hello,

    A good disk utility to empty caches: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html
    Use Onyx once a week, run the Maintenance and Cleaning scripts and that will help speed your Mac up pronto.
    Run Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities) once a week and Repair Disk Permissions:
    Launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.
    *Tip... very important: Run Disk Utility BEFORE and AFTER all software updates. That will save you headaches down the road.
    You do not need to limit the number of apps installed but one thing to bear in mind. A Mac needs a minimum of 10% available disk space just to boot and it's all too easy fill up a drive and before you know it, you can't open apps, or they open and freeze up, or you can't install software. A good way to keep an eye on available space: Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the black arrow next to: General so it faces down. You will see: Capacity and Available ... Best best is to always have 15% free drive space.
    Back up your important data every day. If you have a system failure and need to either do an Archive and Install or completely wipe the drive and reinstall your system software, you'll be glad you did.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software.

  • Why is the upgrade for Adobe Photoshop and Premiere elements more expensive than just buying them?

    I currently have Photoshop and Premiere Elements 12 installed on my mac and when I go to upgrade to 13 the price increases from just buying the two because of the sale. Can I just buy them for the cheaper price and uninstall the current version? ..or do I have to upgrade and pay more money?

    I don't want to have several full versions! I wanted just to upgrade it.
    Whether you buy one "full" version and upgrade it several times or buy several "full" versions, after installation, the end result on your hard drive is exactly the same.
    The only difference between upgrade and "full" is the price you pay at the time of upgrading.
    If the "full" version happens to be cheaper than the upgrade then buy the "full" version. Nothing lost. Nothing gained.
    A "full" version actually makes your life easier since you only need to enter one serial number if you ever need to re-install. With an upgrade, you have to enter the upgrade serial number plus the earlier version qualifying serial number - people often lose the previous version serial number.

  • HT1222 Should I update? I've heard a lot of bad things about updating

    I don't know if I should update and would like imput on how you feel or how your update went and if I should update my iPhone 4S -thanks

    You're sure to hear some negative comments about any update - all the way back to iOS 1.x, and even other platforms like Android. That is what tech support forums are for - people experiencing problems. Most people who have successful updates have no reason to post about it.
    Try not to be scared of updating. If you listened to complaints about every update, you'd end up never updating your phone. Maintaining an up to date operating system is important to improve security, get bug fixes and new features.

    I am using twitter mobile and don't want to install the app. I am wondering instead of hitting the x by the app, can I get rid of that forever or do I have to just hit the x every time? Maybe there's a way and I don't see it. My ipod is a touch 5th Generation. Hope that helps. Thanks for your kind help.

    Just delete the app form the iPod and if you sync with iTunes make sure that you do not resync it to the iPod. You can delete it from your iTunes library too..
