I believe Adobe Ruined My Youtube Channel
To preface this: I know I am being dramatic, over reacting and simply put, being a bitch.
BUT. BUT. We need to see a nice butt, so I will put one in here.
My behavior is warranted.
You can watch my Youtube video where I stammer and stutter through it all. Or read a bit of my trials here.
To start off with, Adobe hasn’t a clue to what is wrong with my program. So it will not be resolved until they actually update what is wrong, and most likely by accident. But if you take anything away from this, it should be this 100%.
NEVER EVER EVER EVER UPDATE YOUR ADOBE PRODUCTS WHEN THEY FIRST COME OUT. PERIOD. YOU WILL REGRET IT.
The problem is when I am editing my videos, for some reason now the time line cursor will stop. The video keeps playing. Then the cursor will jump to the time on the timeline and then stop again. Then it will continue to do it, it will stop for 3-5 seconds, then jump to the correct location. The video is also lagging now, almost screen tearing in some ways.
I then posted my rig:
- i9-10920x
- 64GB RAM
- RTX3080
- WIN 10 Pro
- Premiere 24.0.0
- Working in only 1080 60fps
- Off a 4TB internal disk drive
This only happened after I updated to the latest version. I since downgraded my version to the last working one and it is still doing it. Again never happened before, this week it worked perfectly. Just started yesterday after I updated the app.
Here is a quick Youtube video to show you what is going on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqyZ1jaRd1c
I even downloaded that tool and all it said was my preferences might be corrupt. I deleted the preferences, got a new set and same thing. Not the problem.
Something else I noticed, that when I cut from the timeline, then snap the two clips together, there is a long delay for it to do that. Like 10 seconds. I can’t do anything, the program is frozen.
I tried all that you suggested and to no avail. I also did the audio thing with the troubleshoot tech and it did nothing. The person I spoke to on the phone didn’t have a clue to what was going on either. I want to point my finger at someone or something that I can truly hang my hat on but I can’t… other than Adobe. How can my computer be running at peak efficiency according to benchmarks, running video games at Ultra without a stutter, work with Resolve without ANY issues… and there is just one program that doesn’t work.
The one program that this computer was MADE for. No shit.
Thus the reason for my whiny video. So to wrap this up I posted what I ended up putting on the Adobe Forums.
What I posted:
I did more research on the versions I had previous to this debacle. If that combo worked before there should be ZERO reason it wouldn’t work again.
Premiere was easy, I rolled it back. Then looking at Nvidia it was NOT easy to find the last driver I had. So after 15 minutes or so I found it. You would think it would be easy to find, but I went to a 3rd party website to get the info. Thanks Nvidia! (Not)
So I rolled the graphics driver back to that version. I am confident enough to say, this was the exact setup I had before.
Guess what.
Now it worked the way it did before. At first it was stuttering again, a little anyways. But I realized it was “generating peak files” – and that is a good thing. Once it stopped. I was back to normal.
I decided I would work on my video a bit, and wouldn’t you know it… out of nowhere, it started to happen again. The timeline stuttered. It stopped. But the video was still playing. I would make a cut and the program would freeze and the loading circle. I hoped it wasnt that… but alas, I am back to the same issues I was having before.
Now going on 6 hours of troubleshooting that I will never get back.
Apart from sour grapes, I will just have to say, Premiere is not a good program if I am having all these issues with it. Twice a year I have had altercations with it, and I think I have finally reached the end of my rope.
Yesterday I put everything in Resolve. Though the interface is very clunky, I maneuvered my way through 2-3 minutes of editing and not a stutter, not a stop, not a hesitation. It was smooth and the kicker was? I was on 100% resolution too.
I am in no way trying to promote another product, though it seems it is superior to Premiere right now. This is just to show you Premiere & ADobe has issues, and instead of making the best stable powerful program Adobe can, they put their time into nonsensical new features and design new programs literally no one uses.
Thats it, the whole story. Weeeeee. Exactly what I wanted to do for 2 weeks.
