To me instability across the board on CS6 in the current build is still not at all ready for deadline work. Maybe if I were Adobe I would have waited a bit before release because to me it's at the level of near-release beta software, not something I would feel is ready to sell as a professional tool.

CS5.5 was/is AWESOME. CS6 crashes once an hour or more, and I really can't deal with that level of headache.

We are working on several Mac Pro towers.

Anyone agree?

Is the PC release more stable?

I dont agree based on my Mac Pro experience. Your problems sound systemic. Ive been using CS6 on my system for 6 months (see below) and have had a few crashes, which is expected with beta software. Currently Im running 6.01 with solid stability when using PrP and AE together.

Early Mac Pro 2008 3,1
2 - 3.4 Xeons

I'm not getting many crashes on CS6, but am chasing a couple of weird AE bugs with R3Ds that I can't quite explain.

l should have have specified - AE is the problem here too, also with R3Ds.
 
My new laptop I swear is faster and smoother to work on than my tower !... no crashes at all with the lappy... Tower I get crashes...

I think TOWERS are way past there use by dates.... Especially when a laptop can perform as well as it.

I think my TOWER will only stay because it has red rocket in it... other than that, I'm so close to kicking it out the door.
 
After Effects, Premiere, Photoshop CS6 + r3d = no problems, no crashes at all. Love the new features and GUI tweaks.
 
Mark,

Have you tried Speedgrade with your system? Any crashes or flicking on rendered files? So far, everything else is great.
 
Interesting. I haven't had any issues with CS6 so far. Only Speedgrade thing I run into is it sometimes closes incorrectly and leaves a process hanging around. I'm using this on a 64 bit Windows 7 PC and an MSI Laptop.
 
Hi Todd,

I keep getting this when working in Premiere and this is stopping me from really using Premier. I've even upgraded to the latest update but still.

[/Volumes/BuildDisk/builds/mightykilt/shared/adobe/MediaCore/VideoFrame/Make/Mac/../../../Src/VideoFrameFactory.cpp-233]

MacOSX10.6.8, 30+ GB RAM, I upgraded from CS5.5

Thanks
 
I've only used the CS6 versions of Premiere and Photoshop so far. Never had a single crash. I have a Sandy Bridge based tower with 32gb of RAM and multiple internal RAIDs. Windows 7.

Hi, Im not Todd. But you might want to consider updating to Lion 10.7.4. I recently did (from 10.6.8) and it seemed to address some issues for me.

Speed grade can wait for now... I will get to it though.
I'm just deciding still how easy or hard it is to edit 5k in a 5k sequence time line.... Reminds me of when I went from editing in PAL to HD years ago.

. Im finding all the things that will annoy me and benefit me still.

Put it this way... as pro's and cons go... There are more PRO ticks.... :)

I'm not about to do 12 layer comps and 3D animations on a laptop. Even the fastest laptop you can buy Mac or PC is not up to the task. There are so many issues, including hard drive connectivity, a much too slow processor, no way to add GPUs, I could go on.
