so... ...Everything else with my system works fine, I've updated all drivers and software otherwise and all function normally with every single program I have (quite a few) including accelerated 3d design apps, but the adobe software fails to start. The problem is with Windows? No. That's a non starter.
uninstall all the apps and clean them out of your system. Manually update your drivers. Install the CC desktop app again. Pick a year to upgrade to. Start with the first version for that year (it should have a .0 with no other numbers after the dot 0). Now update by one version at a time to get to it's latest. Start with media encoder, get within one version of the latest you want, and then go to AE, Prelude, Photoshop etc. and do the same for all of them, stopping one short of latest. Now upgrade premiere pro all the way, and then update the others the last time. Open several of the apps to get them running. Take snapshots of your task manager. The apps will probably not work all the way, but we'll fix that in a hurry.... ...Print your snapshots of your task manager. Open your antivirus and make sure all ops for any adobe app are allowed and trusted. Close the apps. restart machine. Open any app, open CC desktop. They should be better, but maybe not fixed. Close if not fixed. GO to CC Desktop, log out, close. Open Log in, and close. Open it and hold Alt shift R. Log out. Close, Open and log in. Open each app while holding ALT, when it wants to trash prefs, say yes. Limit which prefs you sync, and all should be well.
If you have discrete graphics, update your CPU (intel or other) based graphics first, you may have to download the driver to a folder, uncompress it, then tell the system where to look for the driver files to bypass any driver locks. Do a clean install of NVIDIA or other discrete. This took care of more than just adobe problems with graphics.
I also noted that new OPENCL uses both my GPU and CPU power, and is lightning compared to CUDA, with very little quality difference unless warp effects are employed. I export using OPENCL now from media encoder, occaisionally from premiere, but I prerender some effects in AE with CUDA for more accuracy and better quality.
I can't open premiere pro once I close it. If I am working on a current project and close it for any reason I have to restart my computer in order to be able to run it again. If I don't save just before I begin to export media and try to change the name on the file it will lock up and I will lose everything.
Long time windows editor here. Recently had to start editing inhouse on a Mac for a client and I was really surprised at how much better / more smooth some stuff works! Keyframing is much more intuitive and less of a hassle, projects seem to be loading quicker, better video playback and an overall way better experience.
Did hear there were differences but this feels big to me! Recently acquired a new video editing station and this M1 mac is blowing it away in terms of user experience. My question is: is Adobe Premiere Pro more optimized for Mac than windows or am I missing some basic settings in Adobe or windows to optimise my user experience?
