Dear Adobe,

I've been using PP and AE for over 5 years now and the last months, actually from the beginning of the year with the new updates, I've had had major issues. As my clients are very demanding and I'm using these programs a lot on location with very tight deadlines, I can not stress more that you need to be sure that the updates are good with as minimal bugs as possible. I know I ask a lot from not only from Adobe but also from the program as I use it over 12h a day on location. For example, yesterday I was finishing editing and the program decided to crash 5 times in row. This to the frustration of me and my clients. This is unexceptable in a lot of ways as this undermines my professionalism.

Here are some problems that occur:

• Audio drops at random moments and than I need to solo the sound and than it's there again. This also happens randomly in the export.

• slow loading of panasonic EVA footage. And especially when it needs to be previewed. Why not accelerate this through the graphics card?

• Crash when exporting or changing the name in the export tab. Yesterday it happend 5 times and just 1h ago again.

• In the middle of the export it shuts down my whole system.

• Make after effects composition does not work as I do not get my video lines visible in after effects. Before this worked perfectly! Now I had to mask it in premiere pro wich is terrible...

FYI I use both apple and windows. Both top of the line machines for editing. I would love to have some feedback from you guys because I'm really getting disappointed as I pay every month for something that is costing me money every time something happens...

Thank you for reading!

I mix audio by applying compression/eq to either an entire track or a submix. Lately, two things are happening. One is that the audio will randomly not play at all until I solo and unsolo a track. Not a big deal. What is a big deal is that almost every time these last few days, when I open a project, my compression (multiband compressor with Broadcast preset) is not taking effect either in playback or export. I have to go into the effect, change it to another preset, and then back to my original one in order for it to work. This is happening in multiple projects for me.

Please consider implementing the older, extensive text-tool into the new regular text tool, so that it can be operated/activated with shortcuts.
The old Tool was quite usable, with ist ability to save presets and work on the text with Colors, textures etc. It has a lot of room to Play around in. Sometimes it even eliminated the Need to Change to AE. Still, both worked nicely together.
Though it still can be accessed, it is now hidden somewhere in the menus. If it could be actrivated with a shortcut, it would make the workflow much faster and untuitive.
Thanks for Setting up UserVoice!

Premiere Pro desperately needs a way to collapse and reveal location audio tracks similar to FCPx. This will serve two very important functions:

1) Keeps the timeline tidy and clean when you have 5-12 location audio tracks. If you can collapse or nest these tracks and reveal as needed...aka FCPx there is less to keep track of on a busy timeline and you can navigate and edit much easier.

2) It will be a much easier method to select which mics / tracks you need to enable on a clip by clip basis.

Right now it is some cumbersome and time consuming working with large track count location audio. FCPx has done it right in this area. One simple keystroke can reveal and collapse all the tracks on a clip by clip basis.

Previously, Adobe have made changes that were hostile to broadcast environments where versioning is required (changing the function of "enter" to become "all stop"?!)

To make lives (or at least mine) easier, I humbly request the following:

When versioning out multiples of a master, each audio cut is unique. If I could select all the audio cuts and choose "label-->gradient series", this would allowing me to choose two colours and then Premiere would label each item selected--in order--with the colors between those two colours selected.
This would make versioning more efficient and less prone to error.

Glancing at a timeline would reveal if the audio is correct--and in the correct order. As it stands I could (and have) changed the label colour of each audio clip individually so that this is apparent.

Choosing two opposing colours would create a ramp that's graduations would be very noticable, unless the number of cuts was enormous.

Colour blind editors/users could stick to greyscale, and work via luminance.

Please see attached for an example of how I achieve this manually ATM.
