Using #PremierePro after a few years away is like being forced on a date with an ex. They look different, maybe even better because of the built-in transcription, or the snappy new playback speed, and you think, “Okay, maybe they’ve changed.” But as the date goes on, the old red flags start popping up—like that decade-old multi-cam audio track bug, lack of ability to change sequence audio settings after creating a sequence, still no way to search markers project wide, and many more feature requests that have been ghosted longer than your texts to your ex. Then, just when you think you can look past it, the playhead starts randomly jumping to the start of the sequence every single time you tab into one — and always seemingly happening when I'm in the process of moving a clip, ripple pasting, etc — and before you know it, full meltdown crash importing a single file into the media pool! All this with a fresh install, latest release (not beta), and all. Like huh? How are people using this program for professional paid work? Maybe these issues are MacOS issues only, or maybe Adobe just sends me their worst builds. At this point, I'm wondering if the ex—or Premiere—will ever really "change", because the fresh coat of makeup and lip filler isn't doing it. #videoeditin #postchat @scottbelsky @AdobeVideo
