Feels less laggy than it used to, they have added many new features, transitions and effects, theres very less need to go outside premiere now, you can do mostly everything within the software itself.Object mask tool is amazing, i always used to "Replace clip with after effects composition" to rotoscope something. And then AE would take 20 gb of ram for no reason, theres no need for me to do that anymore, this is amazing.

For a company that charges an exorbitant premium subscription fee, their software stability is a absolute joke. A routine update completely destroyed the core Lightroom-to-Photoshop handshake workflow, rendering the standard 'Edit in Photoshop' feature entirely useless. When you try to bypass their broken code pathways, you are met with flat, washed-out colour profiles that fail to render correctly even when manually assigning the proper colour spaces. Adobe clearly does not test their systems

Editing doesn't work correctly, I click on some words I want to delete and it looks fine and I hit the backspace to get rid of them and it switches to edit mode and messes everything up. Like all the letters get stacked on top of eachother somehow, like it is terrible. The Ai bot didn't help and no one helped me when I called service. Absolutely terrible

NEGATIVE trustpilot

This has got to be the worst next generation' brand and tool existing. It is not intuitive, many of the features do not work properly and they are charging top dollar. I have just had a terrible customer experience attempting to make a small change to a PDF form. I cannot wait for the time that I do not have to use (or attempt to use - should i say) this product.

Once you learn an Non-Linear Editor(NLE), you can jump from one to the other relatively easily. Whether it’s Avid, Premiere, or Davinci. They each have their quirks, but it’s mostly surface level stuff. This is not true of Final Cut X (or whatever they call it now) that’s its own thing and isn’t really like the others. If you want affordability, Davinci is great. Especially since you’ll already be using it for the color grading side of stuff. If you value career sustainability, Premiere is proba

Programa caro y con políticas de suscripción muy agresivas. Si algún día te vas a dar de baja de una suscripción anual que sepas que te van a cobrar el 50% de lo que quede del año. Aunque ya no tengas acceso al servicio, te lo cobran por la cara, basándose en una política de letra pequeña de la que no se informa adecuadamente. Jamás volveré con Adobe.

The cost of my plan was raised by more than double this month and they attempted to charge me £100 to leave.

I'm learning Resolve and I like it enough. I don't understand the Premiere hate. I've been using it steady since 2003 - and daily since 2007. The only time I had regular problems was back in 2007-2008 when I was using an under-powered windows machine without a proper graphics card and it would crash during long renders. I've been using on a Mac pretty regularly since 2014. All the complaints I'm reading just don't match my experience. Still, I like Resolve, as well, though I'm new to it. However

Ich habe den Kundenservice kontaktiert. 1. Unverschämtheit: damit ich überhaupt kommunizieren konnte, musste ich 1.€ zahlen für einen Chat zahlen 2. Überlasteter Mitarbeiter - antwortet nur alle Jubeljahre 3. Parallel ständig Angebote, einen Anruf für 16.-€ zu ordern. Das war die Spitze des Eisbergs. 4. Letztendlich konnte oder wollte mir der Mitarbeiter nicht helfen. Konsequenz: ich habe den Kauf der Software stoniert!

Scammers - I took out a trail and cancelled this the same day, receiving a cancellation email. They then took 2 x AI assistant payments : of course there was no email warning of these, or an email saying payments were taken. I've sent 4 x complaint emails without response.

I wish the government regulated such scams. I don’t know how adobe got so big I had to beg them to cancel my trial on the first day!!! They wouldn’t even listen to me kept saying different things and not listening to me it wasn’t until I told them I have the services for free on another site that they went ahead and canceled my account. Absolutely ridiculous that there’s no option on the site to cancel your free trial. SHAME ON YOU ALL WHO TAKE PART OF THIS AND STEAL MONEY WHAT GOES AROUND COMES

Horrible subscription process. You are given options without clearly stating what which option gives you and once you subscribe to one option, you cannot easily upgrade it but have to wait for the cancelation process to go through before you can re-subscribe. What should've been an easy re-entry into your subscription program made me wish to just move away and start a new. Luckily for you I have all my photos still on your cloud, but is that a business model? You clearly lost your Why and it fee

Took 20 minutes just to open a pdf and figure out how to add the date on the document. You cant just add in text where you need it to be. Every time i click one button five different pop up show up offering me something i dont need or want. always trying to upsell me on some feature. i have to subscribe every month for something i barely use. Alls im trying to do is change the date on the document and i cant. thanks adobe. im not paying you anything to edit three numbers on a document and then n
