So I installed the Premiere demo on my Macbook Pro…

Well I am not here to flame you, but there is something else wrong. I also have a Mbp and have never had any issues with Adobe products in master collection, which includes them all except Lightroom and Acrobat pretty much.

Not sure what your issue is.

I’m sure it was coincidence since there was nothing wrong prior to the install. I had to laugh at the irony – all things considered!

here’s hoping it was a one off. Realistically, we should all be hoping quite hard that premiere takes strong leaps forward with every release from this point on.

The like, senior video manager for adobe is about four threads down answering questions about premiere if you have any..

It certainly is odd as I also have a MacBook Pro and don’t have crashing issues. Let me know more about your system and perhaps I can help.

As someone who has used Premiere since it existed, I can honestly say it has taken strong leaps forward with every other version (the flow has always been brand new release with new features, followed by minor feature upgrades but tons of bug fixes). And there’s no reason to doubt that process won’t continue.

[Chris Knight] ” And there’s no reason to doubt that process won’t continue.”

There seems to be a real pace and energy to the way that Adobe are moving forward with all their apps, Premiere especially, and a genuine desire both to innovate and at the same time listen to what their users really need. No real sign of anything comparable from AVID or for that matter that other company beginning with the latter A … what was it called now? Sorry, can’t remember …

The only difference now is that if you contact Adobe Customer Support, you’ll actually get an answer.

yeah, they’re hungry like. We pay for the software – that’s a big chunk of their revenue. we get paid, they get paid. I like that.
As opposed to our current existence as unnoticed bacteria living in the armpit of the behometh named Aplha Omegahedron, or Apple humanities or whatever it is they’re calling themselves.. They’re off trying to bend spacetime and redefine human existence in a series of permanent exploding revolutions.
So that’s me not getting the source viewer back then.

Totally disagree. While I believe everyone should use what works for them and I am in favor of competition, I can’t say I am in favor of Adobe Premiere so readily as a result of this debacle by Apple. I really like FCPX despite it’s shortcomings. I’ll keep using FCP7 perhaps dabble in Premiere, and keep seeing what FCPX can and can’t do at the moment. It’s already been very useful and highly more productive for our tapeless workflow, but we’re only testing one seat right now anyway.

[Nick Toth]it froze, crashed with a very cryptic Windows looking error message and my laptop would not run properly the next day…

What do you mean by “Windows looking error message”? And what do you mean by “not run properly”?
