Is PPro really ready?
Okay I dont want to start anything here but the odd things PPro does is starting to get to me. Especially when I have a deadline approaching!
First I had an issues with codecs not showing up. Okay got that fixed, it was a licensing issue. Okay so all good…. A few days later I open the project and i get that wonderful message that says ” This project contained a sequence that could not be opened…. You just had it opened last night! What changed!!??
Why cant PPro just work the next day? fingers crossed for CS7

Ilya,
It sounds like a licensing issue again. Can you contact support? https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.htmlThanks,

The next version (CC) looks really great, if you don’t mind paying Adobe every month to use it

Yes, it’s been ready since CS 6 came out which was a massive improvement upon CS 5.5
I’ve been using daily in our facility (2 seats) for the past year.
Our work flows are much more efficient and timely that we don’t
have to transcode anything.Sure there are occasional oddities, but it looks like those have been solved in
the newest version out next month. -
I dont mind paying Adobe a monthly fee… But the program better work every time I open it 😉
Chris, How big do the projects get at your facility? I’m asking because as much as I love the “no transcoding” and direct to edit in PPro I definitely do miss the smooth scrub search we had with FCP and still have with Avid. I notice when there are lots of files that are direct from camera, the lag from scrubbing on the timeline or source monitor can be somewhat annoying. I understand the processor is doing extra work to decode the video but at what point is it better to just transcode again?

[Ilya Osovets] “How big do the projects get at your facility?”
Lots of short form up to 15 minutes, 30 minutes and some up to 1 hr.
I don’t think I’ve had any issues smoothly scrubbing the timeline.
We’re on octocore macs with 16gb of ram, quadro 4000 cards in each one and
fiberchannel disk arrays.The one annoyance was single layer of unrendered video and the audio sync.
you hit play it’s off, you stop then hit play again and it’s on.
One client was annoyed with that. I’m hoping the enhanced mercury playback
in CC addressed that.Whenever a project came in with multiple video sources in different formats
it was smooth as can be and very much appreciated it worked.
