Needs Improvement

And the fun keeps on coming. @AdobeCare It's that way for every App I've launched so far. pic.twitter.com/oLhKiF5ghX

— Tim Stotz (@tim_stotz) December 1, 2015

The memory leak on @AdobePremiere is SO bad. Really disappointed with the upgrade.

— JAMES ARDEN (@jnarden) December 4, 2015

@AdobePremiere work on the known bugs first, then add one trick pony effects later. Amazed by Morph cut but need reliable system first.

— Chris Ohlmeyer (@CBOhlmeyer) December 2, 2015

@thecrankyeditor @adobepremiere For me, the last couple of releases have been stable, precious few crashes… but 2015.1 is killing me.

— Andy Mees (@andymees) December 3, 2015

@AdobePremiere 35 minutes in 2015.1 & I found two glaring bugs. https://t.co/Pu5UHrlE5V & https://t.co/ualKaZr8Rx @premierebro you confirm?

New Project Format

WARNING #Premierepro 9.1 projects don't open in 9.0.x !! Think twice when in the middle of a project. pic.twitter.com/F0l43ROfd9

— Animotion (Joost) (@animotion_nl) December 1, 2015

OMG @AdobePremiere.. seriously??!?! Have you ever heard of backwards compatibility? pic.twitter.com/MjkBeBajg6

— Zeke McGeehon (@zekesauce) December 1, 2015

Support for Mac OS X El Capitan

New update to Premiere Pro 2015.1 now supports OS X El Capitan.

— Erik Naso (@ErikNaso) December 1, 2015

Premiere Full Screen works again on El Capitan and all is right with the world. @AdobePremiere

— Adobe Cutter (@adobecutter) December 1, 2015

Adobe just released a new update for Premiere Pro. Seems to work smoothly now on El Capitan. #adobe #editing #apple #premierepro

— Michael Scholz (@magicgravity) December 1, 2015

@talkingorange no big issues I've run into in Premiere ( El Capitan, MacBook Pro 2014). The again I don't have a complicated setup either.

Optical Flow

@premierebro @AdobePremiere Optical flow retiming. Finally a decent quality available without plug-ins or firing up After Effects.

— Bart Walczak (@bart_hema) December 2, 2015

@AdobePremiere optical flow rules! Just updated an old video riddled with speed ramps for sync, and now it's smooth as butter. Thank you.

H.265

Tried and tested – Premiere CC now supports H.265 natively https://t.co/bJtHPi4Qf5 pic.twitter.com/IuorC3GVOd

— Andrew Reid (@EOSHD) December 2, 2015

Wow, #PremierePro exports to #h265, half the filesize and 2x the quality. Limited player support, only #VLC for right now. #districtcreate

— Chris Niewinski (@cnewski) December 3, 2015

@AdobePremiere 6K H.265 encode off and running pic.twitter.com/QyIVlKUBBq

— Rob Macey, SOC (@NothingFilms) December 2, 2015

@AdobePremiere h265 is probably my favorite thing about this so far.

Publish to Facebook

@premierebro @AdobePremiere Turns out, it's no use to me. It can't upload to pages. Maybe @Adobe can add page support in the next release?

Stacked Panel Groups

One of my favorite bits of the new @AdobePremiere is the stacked panels option. I can keep lesser used panels open, but reduced.

— Scott McElroy (@scottmakescuts) December 1, 2015

Also stacked panel groups have just made my entire @AdobeAE experience better. No more searching for tiny panels

— Chris Colton (@Chris_Colton) December 1, 2015

Wishing the new @AdobePremiere "Stacked Panel Group" setting let me stack "Panel Group"s rather than just panels within a group.”

— Andy Mees (@andymees) December 2, 2015

New Trim Preference

New trimming preference in @AdobePremiere should have a keyboard shortcut.

— Bart Walczak (@bart_hema) December 2, 2015

 

---

New Workspaces (Title & All Panels)

@AdobePremiere I'm not seeing the new default workspaces (Titles / All Panels) despite having upgraded. Do I need to reset something?

— Adobe Cutter (@adobecutter) December 3, 2015

 

---

Hide Application Title Bar

@AdobePremiere enjoy some little love for some more UI in 2015.1 hit Control/Command+\ - watch what happens :)

— Jon Barrie (@theJBfactor) December 1, 2015

The feature I'm most excited about in @AdobePremiere "A keyboard shortcut (Cmd-backslash) has been added to hide the application title bar"

— Richard Cullen (@racullen) December 2, 2015

Lens Distortion Presets

NOTE: This Tweet refers to the Lens Distortion effect and not directly to the presets.

Wow, wanna bring @AdobePremiere to its knees? Toss a Lens Distortion effect on something. @AdobeAE marginally better. #PostChat

— Matt Christensen (@_mchristensen) December 3, 2015

Adobe Audition Remix

Editors: Remix in Adobe Audition will change your life. @Filmgeek #DistrictCreate

— Sean Mullen (@smvfx) December 3, 2015

Just tried Remix in @AdobeAudition and honestly it's like magic. Probably going to use it constantly @AdobeCCVideo

— Chris Colton (@Chris_Colton) December 1, 2015

Played with the new Adobe Audition Remix last night. Got Adele’s “Hello” down to a clean 30s in no time. Still brought the tears. #PostChat

Features Requests

What I'd do for an @AdobePremiere shortcut that moved a next/prev clip to the playhead a la After Effects' "[ ]" shortcuts.

— Derek Lieu (@Derek_Lieu) December 1, 2015

@premierebro I still can't find a way to make the Lumetri Panel switch between two Lumetri effects. Any tips?

— Jamie Dickinson (@dickij10) December 1, 2015

Hey @AdobePremiere, optical flow is great and all... but I really want to keyframe text effects... THAT shouldn't require AE.

— Nate Weber (@natums) December 3, 2015

The list of updates for @AdobePremiere looks pretty awesome! Still hoping one of these days it'll say, "redesigned titler"....

— Jesse Koepke (@jessekoepke) December 1, 2015

@JBowdacious @westonWoodbury @editblog @AdobePremiere They do. Premiere already has media encoder why not send render&replace to queue

— Chris Colton (@Chris_Colton) December 2, 2015

@AdobePremiere I'm pleased about the new 2015.1 Premiere update, however there doesn't seem to be any settings for Canon C300 Mark II?
