What's New and What's Fixed in 2014.1

First, here are links to the two main documents about new features in the 2014.1 release:

• Product Manager Al Mooney's blog: Premiere Pro CC 2014.1 Release
• The What's New page in the Help: Adobe Premiere Pro Help | New features summary

(I'll review both of those documents ASAP to see if any little goodies got skipped.)

And now, the bugs that were fixed in this release:

Import

• Import of CinemaDNG clip fails if the file has been renamed.
• Gamma shift in some re-imported QuickTime IMX clips
• Some QuickTime Reference files import without timecode.
• Indexing of XDCAM clips can take an excessively long time, footage shows Media Pending until indexing completes.
• XAVC-S files import without Timecode
• Unable to import certain XDCAMHD 422 Long-GOP clips with Pixel Aspect Ratio of 0.7500 MXF
• Spanned XDCAM HD422 clips not handled correctly if the clip names do not follow the normal convention
• When a sequence is loaded from Media Browser to the Source Monitor and then inserted to a sequence without explicitly importing, two copies of the sequence are added to project.
• Scaling values are not properly handled for clips/sequences imported via an XML file written by some shot management and conforming programs
• If the reported duration of an XDCAM HD MXF clip shorter than the actual length in the file, then frames outside the stated duration can be accessed.
• Some XAVC and XDCAM-IMX-MXF clips have audio noise introduced on playback
• Some .mp4 have green frames and 'static' garbage when played in Source Monitor
• Canon XF300 Footage has unacceptable performance for playback
• .mp4 clips generated by certain transcoding programs exhibit poor playback performance
• PPro no longer recognizes timecode from a .qtc file, referenced from within a QuickTime reference movie.
• Some XDCAM422 clips fail to import with generic error
• Occasional crash on opening Source Settings for DNG footage, with 2nd monitor enabled
• Overexposed white areas in some CinemaDNG footage display magenta artifacts.
• When scrubbing C300 clips in Project panel’s Icon view, red frames sometimes show and Event panel reports error decoding frame.
• If SpeedGrade was installed before Premiere, then double-clicking a prproj file launches SpeedGrade (Mac Only)

Growing Files

• The last frames of some growing file are green. Must relaunch Premiere to correct the problem.
• Importing a growing file can take an exceedingly long time, with footage showing as Media Pending
• When a growing file refreshes, it stops voiceover recording
• The incorrect timecode is shown in the Timecode Panel for growing files.
• Timeline playback of growing files drops audio for about 1 second each time the growing file refreshes.
• QuickTime reference files for growing files fail to import.

Export

• When source is 120fps, export fails if Match Sequence Settings enabled
• The Advanced XDCAM Settings section in Export Settings is blank for imported XDCAM presets
• In QuickTime encodes, audio exported as uncompressed stereo imports into FCP as dual mono.
• When you export to 5.1 AAC with the “Import into Project” option enabled, the resulting clip fails to import, throwing
• “File import failure”
• Image flicker is introduced in some constant-bitrate MPEG2 encodes
• When the only variable blocking smart rendering is an adjustment layer, the effect(s) thereon are ignored and the segment is smart rendered.
• ProRes media encoded by Premiere causes are not compatible with certain video QC programs.
• AAF export: 88.2kHz and 96kHz audio clips exported to AAF do not appear in some audio production programs.
• Audio EDL gets wrong source timecode if clip is nested or part of a multicam source sequence
• EDL does not give correct Source In and Out for clips with speed reversed.
• EDL does not give correct source in and out on reversed clips.
• OMF export fails with some multicam sequences, reporting Audio Export Failure.
• Hang during OMF export when the sequence contains a 5.1 audio track/clip.
• Smart rendering can introduce black and red frames

Playback

• Playback of IMX 50 clip freezes after 12 seconds.
• With XDCAMHD and DVCProHD footage, frames are sometimes dropped though the render bar is green.
• Audio for some mp4 files plays back at double speed
• When pre-roll is set to 1 frame, timecode and video of XDCAM .mxf files are out of sync
• Some DNxHD do not decode properly, resulting in frames being played out of order
• Performance of playback for some QuickTime is poor because they are unnecessarily falling back to QT32
• Dropped frames when playing R3D clips with RocketX enabled and Playback Resolution at ¼

Audio

• With Maintain Pitch enabled, no audio when playing at slower than real-time
• Solo buttons in Audio Meters do not work for clips loaded into the Source Monitor
• Mono and Standard track puck and tray panner routing for Ls, Rs, C and LFE channels do not adhere to ITU-R BR.1384 standard.
• Occasional crash on switching a clip from mono to stereo via Modify>Audio Channels
• 5.1 channels are not properly mapped for some Dolby content.
• 5.1 clip changes to a 6 mono channel clip when “Extract Audio” or “Edit in Adobe Audition>Clip” is performed on a project item or track item.
• Changes to Frame Rate via Interpret Footage are sometimes not applied to saved for all audio streams, causing most audio channels to be out of sync after closing/reloading project.
• Constant Power audio transitions introduce buzz if either track item has zero channels (generally limited to multicam clips)
• Crash on applying changes in Modify Audio Channels dialog [Mac Only]

Project Panel

• Sorting by Duration is broken if the column has been moved during the current session
• If the Project panel is filtered via Rapid Find when a bin is created, the edit control for naming the new bin does not become active automatically, and it cannot be activated manually until Rapid Find is cleared.
• Project items cannot be deleted or renamed if the list view is scrolled to the right.
• Project panel does not autoscroll to the left when a column is dragged to the right side of the Name column
• When a timecode value is typed in the Video Out control for a clip in the Project panel, the value gets reduced by 2 frames upon committing the change

Subclip

• When a soft subclip with only an Out Point set is edited into a sequence, the Subclip Start is ignored; the resulting track item extends all the way to Media Start.
• The Media Start/End and Subclip Start/End times for subclips from a merged clip are incorrect

Editing/Timeline

• 3-Point edit: If the source is a sequence and only an Out Point is set for the source, the wrong segment gets inserted when KEM Roll is set to Insert as Individual Clips
• Keyboard trim commands do not affect clips on targeted tracks that are outside of visible area of in the Timeline
• Switching between sequences can turn the render bar red.
• Frame Hold option doesn't generate the freeze frame when speed change is in effect
• In the Timeline, the FX badge gets hidden when the clip is not wide enough to show the full clip name.
• If the Left/Right Balance control is displayed in Timeline header, the balance will change if the mouse strays over the Header region during click-and-drag operations in the Timeline (such as trimming out)
• 'Select In to Out' selects clips on locked tracks.

Multicam

• If time-remapping is used on a Multicam Source Sequence, the Program Monitor's multicam view continues to play at 100%; if source sequence was slowed, the Composite view goes black after the original end point.
• When a multicam source sequence has been slowed down via speed change or time remapping, the extended of the clip goes black—no video
• If the audio in a multicam sequence is selected when it is flattened, the audio is sometimes deleted.
• Disabled multicam source clips are sometimes rendered to the composite output
• The camera can be changed for a multicam clip on a locked track.
• The overlay displays timecode in audio time units for part of a multicam sequence if the source clips are stereo and the MC sequence is mapped to mono
• If a nested multicam sequence's duration has been increased via Time Remapping, then upon reaching the original end point during an editing pass, the composite view restarts from beginning

Flattening

• If a multicam sequence’s audio is 5.1 or adaptive, then flattening deletes the audio.
• Crash on flattening multicam clip with keyframed scale when using a camera angle that does not start at time zero.
• Flattening multicam can remove some audio clips from the sequence.
• Flattening a multicam sequence with reverse speed applied results in incorrect frames being used

Effects

• AE Text Template] When text fields are active for editing, they’re not being visually highlighted
• Adding mask points very close to each can result in the ordering of the points being incorrect
• Incorrect scaling of 1920x1080 adjustment layers in 720 sequences
• Unexpected behavior with Cross Dissolves between Adjustments Layers.
• Applying both Echo & Levels effects to an adjustment layer causes video playback to freeze
• Crash on rendering previews for a Lumetri filter in Software-Only mode.
• Crash on deleting a clip from a sequence after pasting an effect mask to the clip.
• JPG frame sequence gets scaled down if an adjustment layers is in effect above it [OpenCL only]
• Rename GoPro lens distortion presets to include the camera name
• Clip name effect doesn't work correctly if Source Track is set to a different track.
• Crash on using Clip effect or Timecode effect on a transparent video.
• Crash on loading or applying VST Effects (Mac only)
• Intermittent Crash with Warp Stabilizer applied (AEVideoFilter)
• The Clip Name effect does not work when applied to a transparent video track item, with Source Track set to a video clip.
• Crash on applying audio transition to clips with overlapping timecode
• Previewing fails when an adjustment layer has an animated mask applied to Opacity and any other video effect.
• In Software-Only mode, rendering previews of the new Cross Dissolve is slower than the old one.

Masking and Tracking

• Shift-dragging a control point for an effect mask sometimes yields unexpected results
• If a clip has an effect with a mask applied, moving the clip in the Timeline cause rendered preview files to be lost.
• Previews rendered to a P2 codec are incorrect for the first 10-30 frames of an Opacity effect with mask applied
• If a mask is applied to a GPU accelerated effect on an adjustment layer, the Program Monitor shows a cropped frame with Playback Resolution at Half and goes completely black at Quarter.
• Opacity effect on Adjustment Layers fails to render within the mask with tracking.
• After rendering an adjustment layer with multiple effects with masks applied, some of the effects are no longer confined within the mask  [Mac only]
• Crash on opening some projects with masking and tracking applied to effects
• Direct Manipulation control fails to switch between multiple masks that are applied to the Opacity intrinsic effect.

3rd Party

• Certain audio filters cannot be applied to a clip in a sequence that is imported via XML
• PPro reports audio filter missing when opening a saved project with certain audio filters applied to the clips in a sequence that was imported via XML
• Artifacts are introduced when using certain 3rd party transitions.
• Certain 3rd party stabilizer plug-in are not working

Markers

• On mouse-up after adjusting the Out point of a marker with duration, the playhead jumps to the marker's In point.
• Video in Program Monitor strobes when dragging the In or Out point of a sequence marker

GPU

• With GPU acceleration enabled, Gamma is being applied to some RAW media when it shouldn’t be.
• Basic 3D effect can result in Program Monitor’s video overlay to become corrupted on some GPUs

Performance (Note: Most of these fixes are also listed under a product area)

• Locking all Audio Tracks can significantly impair performance.
• Performance of playback for some QuickTime is poor because they are unnecessarily falling back to QT32
• Dropped frames when playing R3D clips with RocketX enabled and Playback Resolution at ¼
• Navigating through projects in multiple Media Browser panels impairs performance and can culminate in a crash
• In Software-Only mode, rendering previews of the new Cross Dissolve is slower than the old one.
• Canon XF300 Footage has unacceptable performance for playback
• .mp4 clips generated by certain transcoding programs exhibit poor playback performance

Interop

• Crash on selecting Edit>Edit in Adobe Audition>Sequence...
• When a 5.1 clip is sent to Audition via Edit Clip In Adobe Audition, the first channel is used for all channels.
• Exporting from Audition to Premiere Pro opens Premiere, but the file fails to import
• After grading a sequence in SpeedGrade, Premiere regenerates index & pek files

Miscellaneous

• With some capture card hardware, captured uncompressed clips have the wrong field order
• In the Overlay Settings dialog, the Track control is not properly constrained by the Property control.
• A single preference flag is used for the "Import into Project" setting in the Export Settings dialog and the Export Frame dialog; they should be managed independently.
• Custom scratch disk location for Video and Audio Preview folders get’s reset to default, “Same as Project File"
• Changes to the label color cannot be undone.
• In the Usage lists, all instance are ordered by track item start time; should sort by Sequence Name first, then by track item start
• Automatic relinking fails in certain cases when the name of a folder in the relative paths are too similar. [Mac only]
• With OpenCL GPU acceleration and Transmit enabled with some 3rd party I/O cards, the video on the output monitor is corrupted
• Newly created projects sometimes have multiple Project Panels open.

And in closing, a request: If this post prompts you to think "Great, but what about..." or "Thanks, but I just found this new bug in 2014.1," please start a new thread--after, of course searching to see if there's already a topic on that issue.

[And Shooter, I apologize in advance if the foregoing contains any typos ;-)]
