1. Create a 1920x1080 square pixel aspect sequence


2. To the sequence, add a 1440x1080 anamorphic source clip (ie one with a 1.33 pixel aspect ratio) ... image will correctly fill the frame


3. To the clip instance, add an effect eg Lumetri, Gaussian Blur etc ... effect is applied to the full frame image.


4. To the effect instance, add a shape mask.

Expected result : effect is constrained to the area defined by the shape.

Actual result: effect is constrained to the area defined by the shape, but that shape is incorrectly squeezed to the sequence's pixel aspect ratio ie 1.333 PAR shape is squeezed by 1/1.333 to become a 1.0 PAR shape, meanwhile all areas of the sequence's source image instance lying outside the effect key's frame buffer are lost ie the full frame 1920 (ie aspect adjusted) image in the sequence, becomes a 1440 (aspect adjusted) image crop.

Basically, it seems like the effect key's image buffer is being created anamorphically (ie per the source) but is being applied as if its square (per the sequence) and everything outside the image buffer's boundary / window is lost.

Workaround is to nest, or use an Adjustment Layer, to apply effects.

Issue has been observed recently across multiple Mac based systems running OS X Catalina and Big Sur.

I'm having a new audio issue for a multicam sequence I'm editing. All of the audio past a certain cut (for the remainder of the timeline) cuts out. If I scrub back to just before the edit and let the video play through the edit the audio is present. But if I stop the timeline at any point beyond the edit and then try and play it again, the audio is GONE. The audio level bars are also inactive, but the waveforms are present in the timeline. I opened the multicam sequence directly (double clicked the audio track) and the audio is present there. So I cut the portion I needed from there and pasted back into my regular timeline. It worked... BUT... now all of the other audio that previously worked (first half of project) was GONE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

This is a brand new machine. It's absolutely mind-boggling how many new glitches and bugs appear with each new project I work on. Adobe, this is NOT acceptable.

Premiere Pro Version 14.8.0 (Build 39)

Consolidating projects is very hit and miss. There should be a way of working through the clips so that it doesn't copy the entire source file by default when it hits an issue that means it cannot consolidate.

e.g. When source codec is not one that it can trim - offer us the choice to transcode those clips to a format it can trime.

Similarly if identical source clips have been given different audio configurations (e.g. 3x stereo vs 6x mono) shouldn't result in whole clip being copied... let me know as part of the dialogue.

Ideally I'd like to be able to 'find' a bunch of clips in the timeline (e.g. Description = 'consolidate me') and be able to consolidate/transcode from there.

As it is I'm just about to round trip a section through Resolve or Avid to get some media management done

Premiere Pro captions are filled with bugs, which makes it very annoying to burn in captions from an SRT-file or directly create them in Premiere Pro. Here's a list of recurring issues I've noticed:

• Captions background not adjusting to bold text. Some times I have to add a space myself in order to make the text stay inside the background box.




• Some fonts are not centered on the background. For example, Arial is placed closer to the bottom of the background than Verdana. Verdana seems correctly centered, but several other fonts suffer from the same problems as Arial. Some fonts even go beyond the captions background.




• Different amount of space in front of text compared to behind the text. While the background space before the text starts seems consistent, the space behind the text is very inconsistent. Some times there's 0,2 cm of space, some times there's 1,5 cm of space. It's not very professionel to present a video that has messy-looking captions.




• Adding an edge to the text completely changes the centered placement of the text without adjusting the background.




• Adding an edge to the text makes the edge go red by default. Why not black?

There are probably more issues, but these are the ones I'm struggling with the most.

My old laptop was replaced in 2020 with a new one. I work for the federal government, so it is a standard Dell Precision 7740, 64GB RAM, with Intel UHD Graphics 630, NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000. I work regularly with Adobe Premiere Pro. This particular laptop has been terrible, so when I started having trouble with Premiere Pro, I naturally assumed it was my laptop that was the problem. But having visited some of the online Adobe chats, and having spent a couple of hours troubleshooting with our IT helpdesk, I am sure it is not my computer, but the Premiere program itself.

The trouble started with a particular project file. The original file was fine. I copied it and began making substantial adjustments with new footage. As I worked, the program suddenly froze, the fan on my laptop began screaming, and I could do nothing. In the Task manager, I saw CPU use increase to 30-50%; and Memory shot up to 99%. If I walk away for 15 or 20 minutes, the program unseizes; but I am often unable to continue working, as it may seize immediately and repeatedly.

I see this has been an issue for over a year now. What is the solution?
