Who’s taking the plunge into Version 8?

[Cyrus Dowlatshahi]

Jake, I was unable to get Premiere 2014 to run on my early 2008 Mac Pro. I’m running 10.9.3 with an AMD 5770 graphics card, getting the error, “Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again.”

Then it crashes, and now, no BS, no applications are launching on my mac at all… keep having to force shutdown.

Same issue on my home iMac.

My impressions after the first couple days:

Minor New Features

So far the only new features I’ve really noticed is that when speeding things up in the timeline, it doesn’t chipmunk anymore. There is a new option (enabled by default) called “Maintain pitch while shuttling.”

I know there’s other features but so far this is the only one I’ve noticed.

Some Bug Fixes

Version 7 had a nasty habit where items would lock up on the timeline until I reloaded the project. I’d just suddenly be unable to move items on the timeline. Sometimes it would happen pretty frequently. This hasn’t happened yet in Version 8, which is nice.

Some New Bugs

Of course, what’s bug fixes without new bugs? In my case my entire sequence seems to have disappeared… only an old one is present. But if I close the old one, and then switch workspaces, my work re-appears. Oddly enough, a “Save As” as a new version does not fix the problem. I have to do it no matter what… awesome.
