[David Lawrence] “We’ll have to wait a couple more years to see what happens but this is my prediction.”
Originally it was 6-months, now it’s a couple of more years, then what? “Wait a decade, it’ll happen.”

[Mitch Ives] “You’ll excuse me if I tell you that your faith in Adobe is seriously misplaced.”
And I could probably find scores of stories where people had to borrow a machine because their Mac Pro or MacBook Pro went down and they weren’t able to get a replacement in time.
Even under AppleCare.
But you put your trust in Apple apparently.

[David Lawrence] “He’s talking about how funds are approved and allocated in the department’s yearly budget. Typical accounting does not treat software like a utility; no matter what Adobe wants you to believe. It’s especially problematic in edu where budget for new software is never guaranteed year to year.”
He mentioned both “Ed circles” and then editing labs with departments. There are two different ideas there, unless only editors worth talking about work in a post-facility.
Of course, the post-facility I deal with routinely at the moment is on CC.

[Richard Herd] “I have definitely noticed media students buying their own CC to finish projects “at home” (or really anywhere) rather than the post lab. Doing a bit of math, Adobe can take the hit from universities buying CC for 20 stations, if the student body is buying a license (and many many many are).”
Most of what I did in school I took home because the edit lab only had the cheapest Media100 license, which meant color correction tools weren’t included (save for Brightness/Contrast).

[John Hutelmyer] “I changed the renderer to not include OPEN CL and initial tests seem fine.”
Let us know if that fixes it. Whenever I have any kind of error like this, that’s the first thing I do. I just assume that the GPU supported rendering is still buggy in spots. If it does fix your issue, it would be best to submit a ticket to Adobe so they can fix this.

[David Lawrence] “Weak argument. Accounting departments don’t consider software a utility.”
No, the argument is sound because it’s about not having enough money to not pay the monthly fee for Creative Cloud.
Are we really trying to argue that someone would have the money for their electricity and not have the $50 per month for the software? What if we’re still on the perpetual license model and you are offered a decent job putting the finishing touches on a Premiere CC project. Let’s say you’re on Production Premium CS5. Would you rather pass on the job instead of paying $2700 to upgrade to a mythical version of Production Premium CC, or $70 for a CC subscription for one single month?

[Craig Alan] “So all of a sudden you can’t operate your post lab cause the rent wasn’t paid?”
If you couldn’t pay the “software” rent, does that mean you also couldn’t pay the electricity? Can’t run your post house if your power is turned off.

Have you tried another project to see if this behavior is continuing?

If you disable the FilmConvert filter, does the problem go away?

What do you mean exactly by “really bad compressed internet video”? Do you mean pixelated?
