Awesome, thanks David.

Why should we be forced to keep from upgrading because Adobe failed to use the three month beta period to make sure their app would be stable? Not that it was stable on Yosemite. Really a shameful piece of software no matter the OS.

Completely and utterly idiotic statement. As if Adobe was the only company saying to not upgrade to the new OS. As if this was completely stopping you from working in the application.
It’s completely stable across 6 systems at my offices in Yosemite running off a NAS. Also very stable on my home MacBook Air.
If you have something useful to add to the conversation, that’s welcome, but statements like that above show completely and utter ignorance.

Because you want to get work done? Anyway, it’s a Beta ( i.e. incomplete, a work in progress, code is still in flux) and not a Gold Master. A better question is, why doesn’t Apple work closely with 3rd parties like Adobe and Avid anymore so the 3rd parties can have updates available as soon as Apple drops a new OS?

I’m running it on three different systems at the moment and on every single one, it crashes over and over again, giving me the “serious error” message, among others. Sometimes it just refuses to play at all, something that FCP never did. The CUDA drivers in conjunction with Premiere completely corrupt my graphics system-wide. On the other hand, After Effects runs beautifully, so stable.
I’ve clean installed the OS many many times to see if maybe there’s a problem with my OS, and I keep having problems. How a program that is so established can still be so immensely buggy is beyond me. How they can sell a program to professionals, when it has serious crashes on the brand new iMac I run at work, my top-of-the-line iMac from three years ago at home, and the Mac Pro at my other job? Instead of fixing these issues, they’re adding features like Morph Cut that benefit only a handful of users, but look good in the media when they release a new version. I’m at the end of my rope trying to troubleshoot and dealing with the constant crashes. It crashed trying to autosave once. AUTOSAVE.
I would love to hear what config your systems have, because I can see no reason that my system wouldn’t be able to handle this program. I bitch because I don’t think Adobe cares that they ship a buggy program. I use Thunderbolt-connected GDRIVES, I save to Dropbox, I close out all my other programs, and still I’m constantly having to stop my work and interrupt my flow, to address crashing issues. If this isn’t a reason to speak out, I don’t know what is.

That is a better question, isn’t it? I often wonder if the app is to blame or Apple. For instance, OpenGL was never anywhere near as good as DirectX, so I’m excited to see what they can do with Metal.

FWIW I’m running CC2014 on an ’09 MP with a GTX 680 GPU as well as a late 2011 MBP and it’s never crashed on me anymore than Avid or the old FCP. I haven’t upgraded to CC2015 because I haven’t hit a good stopping point yet on my work.
With regards to CUDA and the GPU, from what I’ve been able to piece together it’s a driver issue and Nvidia is supposedly working on a fix. A frequent poster here (David Roth Weiss) has had good luck with solving GPU-centric problems by doing a completely clean install of the OS and all apps. Others have said they fixed the problems by using an older version of CUDA (I don’t remember the exact build number but if you search the COW I’m sure you could find it).
From what I’ve read, Apple is only supporting an old version of OpenCL from 2011 (the newest version is from earlier this year). Presumably so that there will be more of an incentive to use Metal which is proprietary to Apple.

I’ve been running with zero issues for weeks…

David, how is Yosemite and cuda and ppro working these days? I’m still on Mavericks but with all the updates lately wondering if I should be moving to Yosemite at least. thanks.
