there’s no way to help you if you don’t say what your system specs are.

go to your autosave folder and open a recent version or if you had the button “save a backup to adobe cloud” selected in your preferences you can simply go to your adobe cloud account and retrieve a recent version from there.

[Bill Davis] “There’s a LOT of complexity in the modern workflow – and yet only a few words we use to describe the types of files (and the states of those files) that we are creating.”

I don’t think it’s all that complicated. Share and export are one in the same. Master files are whatever the deliverable requirement is and exports are usually h264’s. why make it more convoluted than it actually is?

Skip Premiere and use Amara.org.

[Paul Golden] ” I have a new iMac Pro and I’m still underwhelmed by AE or Premiere performance.”

Again, much like the original post, your inefficiency relates back to your particular setup and not the Adobe software. Many Adobe users, including myself, have no latency issues and the software works as advertised.

There appears to be trend of folks blaming Adobe for a litany of problems but when you examine these so called “bugs” in detail the culprit is almost always operator error.

For the record, the publish to you tube function works just fine in Adobe Media Encoder. Also it was stated in the video that he’s spending hours rendering 4k videos and so it’s also fair to assume that he’s using an under powered system for his editing.

I’m all for people using whatever software to improve their workflows but let’s not confuse operator error with bugs in particular programs.

And why can’t these videos be more concise? There’s almost always a worthless preamble that delays the point of the video. This one doesn’t actually start until 1:06.

Use something else to confirm your bitrate. I just made a pro res HQ file and it was 119 Mbit/s.

thanks for sharing your workflow. It sounds like it works for you and that’s all that matters.

FWIW- I do have anti-virus protection running in the background but I only do manual updates and overall I’ve never encounter any performance issues.

mxf works just fine in Premiere Pro ( I edit with mxf files regularly) without any transcoding if you have:

a newer CPU
a newer GPU
a minimum of 32 gigs of RAM
a fast RAID for all media
optional but even more ideal – a secondary ssd drive for cache and renders

Details on CPU’s and GPU’s that work well with Premiere are all over the Adobe Hardware forum.
