Adobe shambles – Why subscription software should be illegal

by

Creative Cloud is anti-competitive, locking users into a perpetual payment plan with no guarantee of future costs.

Due to demand Adobe are finally putting Cinema DNG support back into Premiere. What’s more it is a fully featured implementation with realtime playback like Resolve and GPU accelerated debayering.
