I didn’t realize that your premiere pro settings were no longer going to sync after Adobe Discontinued Creative Cloud Synced Files. Now I have always had issues with it, because they seem to get fucked up more often than they should, but it is kind of huge that this is going away.
This is going to make Digital Rebellion’s Preference Manager to be back to being a very important part of my workflow, and it should be considered the same for all editors.
I find this interesting as I love the new fade controls in the timeline (I have been using the Beta as it has fixed the timeline issue with an M2 Ultra), though I have still found some issues with tagging short clips, that just refuse to be tagged as dialogue, which is annoying, because the new features are great, but just don’t always work.
So I have posted about his one in the past because it really affects me. I hate having the monitors as separate spaces as it messed up just how I use the computer. Now it has been better with newer versions of Premiere and Mac, but is still there, and I do a lot of restarting Premiere to clear it up.
Apple has identified the source of the bug. I anticipate that it will be fixed in a future MacOS update. My understanding is that it’s a complex bug to fix, so it may take additional time to get fixed in the OS.
To facilitate a quicker improvement for users, Apple has also provided us with an application side code change which will workaround the bug. This change is available for testing now in the latest Premiere Pro Beta (24.2.0.34) dated 2023-12-01. I’ve verified it myself but if anyone else experiencing this bug wants to validate that this Beta version (or newer) also solves the problem on their end, that would be helpful. If we don’t find any negative side effects as a result of this workaround, it will be available in a future non-Beta version of Premiere Pro as well.
As I mentioned above, I also expect an eventual MacOS update to resolve this issue. This will be useful for those users who do not wish to update their versions of Premiere Pro.
I will provide another update when I have concrete Premiere Pro (non-beta), or MacOS version numbers which resolve the poor playback when “Displays have separate Spaces” is disabled.

So there is a workaround in the latest Beta, and at least Apple knows what is causing it, I bet they want to fix it before the M3 Ultra comes out.
Having a new M2 Ultra Studio, and always using 2 monitors to edit, makes this an issue close to my heart. Especially because to fix it, you must set you mac to Display have separate Spaces, which means you can’t have windows party between 2 windows and you are forced to have a dock that switches between the 2 windows (seemingly at random) and menus confusingly on both windows.
I have a quick update for anyone experiencing poor playback performance on M2 Mac Studio Multi-display setups. We’ve identified an issue where disabling the MacOS system setting “Displays have separate Spaces” under “Desktop & Dock” degrades playback performance. By default this setting is enabled. We’re still working on an official resolution but in the meantime you can try re-enabling that setting as a workaround (requires system reboot to take effect) I have a quick update for anyone experiencing poor playback performance on M2 Mac Studio Multi-display setups.

And with the issue not fixed in Sonoma or in Premiere, I think this is going to go on for a long time, and I HATE IT.
New Text-Based Editing Features, including deleting all pauses (I will never use this one), work with multi-channel audio and more control over transcript view. More control is always welcome.
Color Settings with a consolidating of color selections into a single tab. Lets hope this brings a little more of the control that you have in DaVinci Resolve, but I doubt it. Also be nice if they added in a setting to get around the damn quicktime color shift like you can in DaVinci, but I doubt it.
Audio Auto Tagging is welcome I guess, though not something I ever thought of needing. As I always bring things into labeled folders and separate things onto their own timelines, so I guess I am not the target for this.
Effects Manager is to help identify and troubleshoot problem plug-ins, which is good, help in solving issues is always good.
Project Templates for Fast Setup is great, but it needs to also have hard drive folder templates, like you can do in Post Haste. And it should include folders and let you automatically set the renders and the export folders, that would be amazing.
