Who’s taking the plunge into Version 8?

[Morten]

Seems faster on 3 year old MacBookPro. Like the new tools.

But did manage to crash the whole machine. (this might have been an FxFactory issue)…

Adobe CC, 3 x MacPro, 3 x MbP, Ethernet File Server w. Areca ThunderRaid 8…. and FCPX on trial

I think you can safely upgrade as CC2014 versions install next to old CC versions so you can still use older version if you notice some problems.

making my bootable clone disk backup now, then plunging in head first!

Yeah, you can install the CC 2014 next to your CC apps. The 2014 doesn’t yet have updated drivers for Red Giant plugins (they said soon-they want to test on GM release first).

Sadly, if you were hoping for the OpenCL updates in this update to resolve the glitchy line issues, I can confirm that it does not. So I’m back to running Premiere w/o being able to use my dual d700s….

Can you open a version 8 project in version 7?

[Jake Abramson]

Nope

Did the upgrade. I like the new features, but that is about it.

I’m running a 6 year old mac pro and it runs even slower now (new systems arriving next month).

It installs next to your existing version, not on top. It’s an entirely new install and you need to find and copy over all your preferences manually to the new system. The Sync settings only move a few of the prefs but I still had to move the Keyboard Short Cuts, AME presets, and a few others. All the files are in different places and are a pain to find.

[Jake Abramson] “, AME presets”

did you see if the mpeg2 presets import?

They wouldn’t from cs6 to cc and I had to manually setup/hand enter
the modified ones I made.

[Jake Abramson]

I manually copied the preset files from one folder to the other and they all appear to work fine as is, no adjustments. (CC to CC2014)

excellent!
