Additional Info:
All staff on the same Adobe Creative Cloud team plan are experiencing this issue. We’ve all logged out and back in on various workstations (mostly Windows 7 Professional SP1).
A new version of Adobe CC (desktop application manager) was available and installed this morning on all systems–we noticed no change.
Oddly, Photoshop and Illustrator sync on all accounts with no problem.
But Premiere and After Effects DO NOT SYNC. Below are the error messages from each software:
Pr: “Syncing Settings Failed”
AE: “Authentication failed. Check network connection, Adobe ID, and password. Please try again.”

Oh, my apologies–I misread your original post. Good point… heading over to Premier forum now!

Agreed and done. I usually always post everything to both the COW and Adobe simultaneously. More eyes on the topic never hurts!

I found the answer!
In the audio preferences, I had unchecked the “Automatic peak file generation” box. I check marked the box and now every clip “conforms” on import and waveforms populate immediately on the timeline.Thanks for all your ideas!

Thanks, Kris. I’ve got one edit suite running the Quadro 5000 and another with the GeForce GTX 660 TI. Both are acting the same way.
The 660 TI is iffy, but the 5000 should be golden. And the fact that they are both doing this leads me to think there must be a preference setting I’m missing. Or maybe this is just the way Adobe Premiere Pro CC avoids long conforming-time waits… it “conforms as you go” to only show you what you need (just a shot in the dark). I seem to recall reading something about CC having “solved the wait” for conforming. I’m searching around to find that info and have posted on the Adobe forum as well. I’ll get to the bottom of this one way or another!
Thanks for your help. If it makes a difference, I’ve included the specs of my “A” system below:
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1
CPU: 41.6GHz (dual octo-core Intel Xeon E5-2670 @ 2.60GHz)
RAM: 64GB
GPU: NVIDIA Quadro 5000 v307.45 (2.5Gb GDDR5 RAM)
VID: Blackmagic Design DeckLink 4K Extreme 3D+/Desktop Video v9.7.7
DRV: Facilis TerraBlock 16TB RAID/ATTO ExpressSAS R680 v2.19
NLE: Adobe Premiere Pro CCJames Brady

UPDATE–I got this answer from Adobe:
————————————————-
Auto-Save only runs in an ‘unsaved’ Project.
Also, Premiere does not Auto-Save when in the background,regardless whether the Project is ‘unsaved’.If you have an unsaved Project minimized and you pass your Auto-Save time increment, it will not run an Auto-Save until immediately after you bring Premiere to the foreground.
The 15 minute interval could reflect that you did a manual save(or several) during that period or had the project minimized.
————————————————-Take care, editors! This means that an editor who manually saves a project more often than the time to which the auto-save increment is set, can work on a project for 8-hours with NO auto-save files being generated!! Good to know!

Thanks, Alex. CI Feathered Crop is a nice free effect from the folks at Creative Impatience.
Since it’s crop and border capabilities are limited to straight lines (no use on certain logos or type), I still favor Radial Shadow.
But I do like that CI Feathered Crop lets you invert its crop to achieve a cutout (“yawn” for After Effects, but a real “wow” moment for a Premiere effect).Adobe: A simple stroke effect would still be greatly appreciated.

I just did some additional testing and found that the problem only occurred when I attempted to make an 1920×1080 H.264 QuickTime file.
Using the same original file (1920×1080), Adobe Media Encoder WILL export 720×480/486 H.264 MOV file.
More interesting still, it will ALSO export at 1280×720.
Testing this information to it’s limits, I found that the cutoff for a successful render is between a frame size of 1610×906 and 1609×905.
Useless, random sizes, I know… but that’s the breaking point for Adobe Media Encoder CS6 (6.0.3.1 to be precise) and H.264 Quicktime files.James Brady

BUMP for this thread because I have had the EXACT SAME ISSUE since CS6 (CS5.5 exported H.264 Quicktimes on the SAME SYSTEM with no problem).
As mentioned above, I also prefer working with MP4 files, but there are those few stickler clients out there that want their H.264 files to say “MOV”!
Anyone have any ideas yet?James Brady
