Premiere "Sorry An Error Occurred" Pro

 

  







Premiere Pro with Blackmagic Design UltraStudio 3G Monitor - Frozen video output

Note to Premiere users - v25.1.0 on Mac mini M1, macOS 15.1.1

For some reason with Premiere I cannot use Primary Audio Device: Adobe Desktop Audio, and Transmit Device Playback to both Blackmagic and NDI. The output video on the Blackmagic USM3G is frozen. It will update if I jump around in the timeline, but it will not playback in realtime instead displaying a frozen frame.

I have to either use Primary Audio Device: Blackmagic, which is not convenient for me, or stay on Adobe Desktop Audio and uncheck NDI output from the Premiere/Preferences/Playback video stream and then it plays just fine.

Just in case someone uses NDI and encounters frozen playback.

This does not work, frozen video output - Both BMD and NDI checked, Primary Audio Device: Adobe Desktop Audio

This works fine - Only BMD checked, PAD: ADA
This works as well, but I have no use for it - Both BMD and NDI checked, PAD: Blackmagic

Adobe Premiere "Pro" Is Such A Sorry POS Software (02)

 Sorry Adobe, your software is so crappy you should be ashamed.

I have a 20 clips for that small project that I want to transcribe. Longest clip is 9 minutes. Select all clips, hit Transcribe.

Premiere crashes after a few minutes on transcribing one of these clips. Boom, error, sorry got to close. All the shit that happened is not saved, sorry user, fuck you. Send the report, sure, whatever.

Fuck you Adobe.

 OK, manually going one clip at a time because Premiere is so crappy it cannot batch transcribe without crashing. Great time Saver Adobe!

Clip 1, Load, transcribe, transcription done. Save.

Clip 2, Load, transcribe, transcription done. Save.

Clip 3, Load, transcribe, transcription done. Save.

Clip 4, Load, transcribe, transcription done. Save.

Clip 5, Load, transcribe, transcription done. Save.

Clip 6, Load, transcribe, CRASHES!!! Fuck you Adobe.

Relaunch Premiere. The first 5 clips transcriptions are still there. No transcription for Clip 6.

 OK, again manually going one clip at a time.

Clip 6, Load, transcribe, transcription done. Save. (FUA.)

Clip 7, Load, transcribe, transcription done. Save.

Clip 18, Load, transcribe, CRASHES!!! Fuck you Adobe.

Relaunch Premiere. The first 18 clips transcriptions are still there. There is transcription for Clip 18. Go figure!?

 OK, again manually going one clip at a time.

Clip 19, Load, transcribe, CRASHES!!! Fuck you Adobe.

Relaunch Premiere. The first 18 clips transcriptions are still there. No transcription for Clip 19.

 OK, again manually going one clip at a time.

Clip 19, Load, transcribe, transcription done. Save.

Finally! Yeah! Best NLE in the world. What should have taken 15min. unattended has taken instead 1hr babysitting stupid Premiere "Pro" all the way. What an amazing time saver waster! Thank Fuck you Adobe!!

And by the way, all the Speaker separation is wrong, like not even close. There are only two speakers, Premiere is inventing a 3rd speaker, mixing up speakers, really a great job. And the transcription is approximate at best, but that'll have to do. I'm not spending another minute on this crap.

Adobe Premiere "Pro" Is Such A Sorry POS Software (01)

 Premiere is so crappy it's unbelievable.

I'm trying to reload a simple project from 8 years back (2017.) Premiere forces to save a new version, fine. Premiere hangs trying to locate the media, with no indication of what it's doing whatsoever, sitting there doing nothing, forever. Not fine!

Fuck Premiere. Hit Cancel, Premiere is missing all the media, opens the Link Media window, fine. If I try to locate media, Premiere hangs miserably after relinking the first media. Super!

Fuck that, hit Cancel.

OK the project opens with all the media offline, at least that. Then "Upgrade Legacy Title" message pops up "The Legacy Titler is no longer supported. Premiere Pro (cringe) will convert each legacy title into a Source Graphic, and all timeline instances will be replaced." Oh great! Click OK.

Relinking the very first clip in the timeline manually, click OK. This is working, great, only 20 or so more clips to relink in this timeline.

Let's try to relink them 20 all at once... Select, select, locate the first file, click OK. The fucking beach ball from hell... Waiting, waiting, waiting, nothing happens, waiting, waiting, waiting, beach ball spinning, waiting, waiting, waiting...

Fuck you Premiere.

Force Quit. So now what? I have to relink clips one by one? What a joke. "Premiere Quit Unexpectedly". Oh really?

Reload the freaking project, again stuck locating media. Click Cancel again. Showing again the link Media window, Cancel.

Selecting the first clip, relink, fine. Select the second clip, relink, hangs! Beach ball of hell, nothing happens.

Fuck this!

Nothing works, what a fucking joke.

Deleting all Media Cache file.

Going into the Finder, media files, deleting all the stupid ".pek" and ".pkf" files by hand.

Relinking one clip at a time, by hand. Great time saver, thank you Adobe!
