Kicking the tires on Proxy Editing with Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015.3 2

Adobe released the Adobe Premiere Pro 2015.3 update onto the world in late June and I was smack-dab in the middle of a project. This was a longterm project with no end in sight but I updated anyway. Partially because I had used the beta and it was nice and stable but partly because I […]
