Having Issues with Premiere Pro 23.4, it just beachballs

And here are posts at Adobe Forums where other people are also having the issue. And I ended up trying it quickly because of the whole issue with the export window not working, as I was running the beta to get around it, so I tried this right when ti came out, and no matter what Project I opened the whole thing just beachballed, but the Beta continues to work, but for release version I had to jump back to 23.2, since it is before the damn export bug.

I had been enjoying the text editing features, except how if you edit from a sequence it cuts in subclips and not the original clips (there should be a switch for this, as I can’t think why you would want it to edit out subclips).

I just feel the beta runs a little less stable than the release versions, so for paid work I need to stay on a stable release version, and it would be nice if 23.4 worked for me, but it just doesn’t.

And I basically erased all of my Premiere Pro preferences, the entire folder to try and get it running, as it kept pulling old preferences from earlier versions, but even completely trashing all Premiere Pro sequences on my hard drive it is still beachballing.

So be wary of 23.4 as it does not like my iMac Pro at all.

Adobe finally has said they are working on their new Export Mode failing to load in Premiere Pro 23.2 and 23.3

Of late when I tried to export from Premiere Pro this is the screen that I got. And this after the them getting rid of the old export window for this new monstrosity (please see this very long thread at Adobe on the monstrosity).

For a little while there I could get it to work if I trashed my preferences and re-synced and the export would work for a few seconds, but this stopped working.

Then thanks to this thread at Adobe, I found that deleting my 23.0 folder from User/Username/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro fixed the problem for a single export, then it stoppwed working.

So then I have been using Media Encoder to open the Premiere Pro sequences directly. The Media Encoder version that I had been doing above, reset premiere pro preferences which worked for a while, and 3 the Match Sequence Preview Settings, but I can’t even get to the Export window for that to show up.

Well Finally Adobe has admitted the issue, and posted about it with work arounds.

AppleInsider Reports on Apple acquiring AI-Powered video compression startup WaveOne

Amber Neely has the news that Apple purchased an AI Video Compression company.

This is of course for iPhones, as the technology is made to cut file sizes in half while prioritizing Faces and Text and de-prioritizing backgrounds.

Better video compression is always to be looked for, but I am assuming this won’t be like ProRES HQ or 4444, but more highly compressed, so likely won’t be a great editing compression.
