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.

At NAB Adobe Introduced Text-Based Editing in Premiere Pro and a Properties Panel in After Effects

From Eric Philpott’s article at Adobe Blog.

This is huge and I love that it’s awesome transcription feature is being expanded out of for captions into actual editing.

I will have to see automatic tone mapping in action, I always get footage from different cameras, but I don’t think this will be what I need (I tend to throw the clips in DaVinci and make a LUT that will match them perfectly).

Background Auto Save is exciting, and I might turn it up so it saves more often.

Dragging to select track targets should have been there from the start! I will use that literally every day!

And bulk editing titles in the Timeline is huge, and has been needed since you could see all the Text of titles with the text tool.

And After Effects Properties panel could be a huge game changer, as on a daily basis i get frustrated when duplicating sequences how it doesn’t show the same properties that I was manipulating on the copied layer, but with a properties panel this should be faster, and anything faster I will adopt immediately.

And I really need to do a deep dive in to ACES and OpenColorIO workflows so I can try it out in After Effects.

And select able track mattes usable for multiple layers is pretty awesome, though you could do it by doing it on a matte layer and using it as the matte.

And defaulting colorama to the default color picker to save clicks is another time saver, and I always want time savers.
