Hello all. I am deeply troubled as I have been experiencing buggy Director Suite Live software- specifically in PDR. I have three weddings on backlog waiting to be rendered for my clients. The issues are as follows:

1)- Stabilizer- Using this causes footage to jump around worse than pre-stabilized. Whether using 1 or 50, it happens each time. If I use the enhanced stabilizer, the problem becomes much worse and the whole image warps as if it is wrapping around a sphere in the corners of the image.

2) Transitions randomly stop working after rendering. Different transitions each time. I may render one and the "Glow" transitions stop working (or jump back and forth in a stammering fashion). Perhaps in another, the "Fade" transitions stop working.

3) On occasion, there may appear to be a black frame in between two clips. Usually this is due to one clip not backing fully on to the next. However this isnt the case here either. The clips are definitely touching and still the problem persists.

I am about to have some very angry clients and this is beyond embarrasing. Please help me decde what to do.



Am I better off:

1) Ditching this nightmare all together and going with another software (I am really leaning in this direction now). I know this will require me to re-edit 3 wedding films however the long term payoff for me seems higher. I am already a member of Adobe Creative Cloud and I like the service...

2) Is there some sort of fix? My research using the search button seems to show that there is no fix. Could I re-install PDR 13 until I can get the videos rendered properly and if so, will this even work since the files were created on PDR14 first?



Please help. My reputation is on the line and this is out of hand. I have been dealing with issues ever since PDR 14 got released and I cant run a business like this. I need reliable professional software.



Thank you all in advance!
