[Simon Ubsdell] “For me the static, the spin-of conversations about anything and everything, are every bit as fascinating”
No apologies needed. I still contribute here and love a good debate, but when I need real answers, I go to other sources (and it might be another COW forum). Nor harm, no foul. I just feel the signal to noise ratio is leaning more towards noise.

[Scott Witthaus] “Agreed. Sadly I have started going to other sources for answers to real NLE questions as I want to avoid the “static” on this site. “
Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you mean by ‘real NLE questions’, but aren’t the program-specific forums on the COW the best place to ask those questions? Where as this specific forum is designed for, well, debates?

Yes, please, for the love of all things holy, NOBODY should come to THIS forum expecting to find answers. We have over 200 forums for troubleshooting, such as the Apple Final Cut Pro X forum, also linked at the top of the page.
This is one of only of a couple of forums at Creative COW for troublemaking ????
I love it for what it is, and feel that we’ve had some particularly energizing conversations of late, but I would be truly distressed if anybody was under the impression that the goal here is anything resembling product or technology support.

One would think that a group of professionals might offer up some insight. And putting the FCPX name on it skews it a bit. There is no longer a debate over X. Period But it’s your COW, to do as you wish! This forum has been great in that I now have a list of folks to contact direct.
Like I said, I enjoy the banter but go elsewhere for answers. As I said to Andrew, I get better Premiere answers here than over at the Premiere basics forum. So if I want them, I put up with the static…just my humble opine and mine only.

Agree, it’s NLE debates now

I don’t doubt you can get answers for Premiere Pro in this forum but overall there is much more questions and answers for Premiere Pro in the actual Premiere Pro forum. If you ask questions in the Premiere Pro forum I imagine your questions would get answers.

Went back to dip our toes in the premiere water for a project recently and had some major issues with import, export and performance. Tried the Adobe forums, the premiere forums on the Cow and got no answers. Adobe tech support was woeful – was even told that a 2TB library of rushes was too large and to reduce it down because premiere wouldn’t support it, or we could edit half the sequence in each project and join them together at the end. I’ve really not experienced good tech support for premiere pro.
The main thing that was impressive was the speed and efficiency of dynamic link.

I don’t doubt you had real issues, and I’m sorry to hear that.
What were the specifics of your problems?
In my experience the kind of thing you are talking about suggests system issues rather than grave malfunctioning of the application.
Of course, you could be right and Premiere Pro just fundamentally “doesn’t work”, but it would be reasonable to expect more evidence before arriving at that conclusion.
FCP X is unpleasantly sluggish on my current work system configuration but I appreciate that there are compatibility reasons for this. I have optimised my system for a range of applications and it doesn’t suit FCP X. But I don’t for that reason suggest that FCP X itself has performance issues.
