All,
first of all I wanted to thank everyone for making this a productive conversation over the last couple of days.
As several people responded to my comment about keeping the tone civilised, I need to dwell on that for a minute. Please hear me out, this is important to everyone on my crew and I hope it will be to you.
Saying that we shouldn't be surprised when things get heated is very problematic in my opinion. How do you expect a junior person on my team to respond to a technical question when it is combined with something that can easily be described as hate speech? How do you think we can actually come together on actual issues when there's already the assumption that we're a big faceless corporation, not even listening to our customers?
People on my team have received threats. I've been there over the years,…

Patrick,
Most of us are horrified at the threats. That is not okay and you're right - it's NOT acceptable.
I, personally, am trying to shift my perspective and paradigm and be grateful for the product we're all currently using... but I think this one subject is just highlighting the issue that the professional community has been feeling more and more of over the years: a divide between the development team and the professional community.
In this case, more unsolicited changes/"upgrades" when there are legitimate, long-standing issues/existing requests/app-breaking problems that have been mounting and unresolved - things we as the professional community are confused by when we obviously would prefer the solicited and communicated issues to be prioritized. Mayn of us understand that there is just an insane amount of complexity for an application that needs to work on seemingly infinite hardware/software setups with seemingly infinite projects/plugins, but the vocal frustration from the community and our inability to do our jobs should be considered a good sign: we want Premiere to get better!
Believe it or not, we want it to succeed as much or more than its developers and managers, even!
A lot of times, I have sworn I would leave the entire Adobe Suite because of frustrations when the grass is greener, but we stick it through and make every attempt to make it better via these forums in hopes that it will get better.
But it's not getting better. The issues (many of which are integral) are crippling our ability to make a living and like any relationship that is getting worse, we have to cut and run at some point if it's not getting better.
Maybe there are leadership problems; maybe there are process issues; maybe there are legal/licensing/communication issues with hardware vendors; maybe there's just not enough people (or the budget to get more people) to making Premiere Pro as stable/compatible/efficient as its competitors with all the requests that have to be juggled. Regardless of the cause - I don't think Premiere Pro's direction/reputation is as healthy as we'd all like it to be, so let's make it better!
Like others, I would LOVE to know what the QA process, feedback process, and the "enough channels" look like to bring on these kinds of changes and how that interacts with other priorities/requests! It looks like there might be a disconnect, maybe!
Best and God Bless,

This is good feedback. Would you be interested in seeing other transitions too, like slide on from the side or bottom?

This is by design. We always keep captions within safe margins (10%). Would an option to defeat this restriction be useful or is it better to remove this safeguard all together. Opinions welcome.

Custom positioning of captions? Are you crazy?! Think of the damage it could cause! If anyone from 1997 were to watch a video CD of my captions below the safe margin, they would be out of luck! Do you think you can just put captions wherever you want as if you're a video creator!? Jim!!! You mad man.

Please. Random waveforms sometimes show. How is this a feature request and not a bug? Maybe I'm missing something?

This is crazy to me that this isn't "possible" natively.
Typical Use cases:
- Creating a sub-edit for a group of specific audio in a scene that you don't want mastered (from dB to effects)
- Looping a music track that is STEM'dTyler Hanson

Please DO NOT eliminate the Legacy Title creator in future updates.

We understand that retiring a part of the software can create issues for some users. We are doing our best to make this a slow and steady process and are adding needed features along the way. Most importantly, we have added the ability to convert Legacy Titles into Source Graphics. While not all characteristics will translate perfectly, this should give you really good results in most cases. We’re not just taking something away, we’re adding functionality to Essential Graphics constantly. Our team is working hard to make sure it meets your workflow needs. And if it doesn’t - we want to know about it. If you feel that there is a specific feature missing in Essential Graphics please create a single UserVoice post for it, e.g. for Inner and Outer Strokes. This way it is much easier for others to vote on something actionable. Please take a look at our…

I'm not sure Adobe wants to fix this/adapt this/listen on this one. Organizing graphics assets is paramount to my workflow, but the betas omit them AND offline previous version'd projects. It. Is. Gone.

I tried DaVinci... It was not great for our use case and we just can't use it.
I did the Pepsi challenge, myself, to edit an easy video (usually 10-minutes of editing per video). After 4 hours of research and stumbling, it was… a problematic experience. I know I would get better/faster, but I walked away because of these dealbreakers:
- No native ProRes RAW support (even with paid version).
- No auto-transcoding for caption. Dang Adobe has a powerful tool, there.
- Speed-ramping is horrifically hard/impossible to use which means all of my a7siii 120fps is almost garbage…
- Fairlight had a weird bug (feature?) where I couldn’t loop a 1-second clip of audio for de-noise using the play button. After 40 minutes of research, I had to a use a completely different and hard to find button ("Play Around/To" - ugh).
Too many pro’s to list for DaVinci (it’s the king for color correction, after all), but I feel like Adobe has a mostly good product that is mostly better than their competitors and they know it so why make it better according to the noisy demands of their pro users?
I’m considering trying FCPX, again, but I am even more trigger shy.
