With the Creative Cloud Desktop app updated, I recommend that you disable auto-updates in the Creative Cloud app (Menu icon > File > Preferences > Apps) so that you can manage updates at your own pace. If you’ve already got the newest version, the installer will see that and skip the installation, opening the Creative Cloud Desktop app quickly. You can also download the Creative Cloud installer directly from Adobe and run it. Telling the Creative Cloud Desktop app to keep itself updated (Menu icon > File > Preferences > General) should take care of this, but you can check for the latest version in the release notes. You can find your current version of Creative Cloud in the Help section. So first make sure you have the latest version of the app. Old versions of the Creative Cloud Desktop app don’t know about the newest versions of your software, so the newest updates may not show if you’ve repeatedly chosen to postpone Creative Cloud Desktop app updates. But it’s recommended that you take a deep breath and go through some simple steps before you hit that “Update” button. It’s tempting to just hit “Update” when you get a ping about a new version being available. If everything else fails, do a clean install.Create a new project and import the old one.

Update third-party plug-ins, extensions etc.Trash your Preferences and recreate them.If I had followed the “never update in the middle of a project” advice, I’d either be on CS2 still, or I’d have a lot of versions installed-none of which seems very attractive.īesides, we need the latest Premiere Pro features, so when we see the little blue update indicator, how do we make sure that everything goes to plan? Some of my documentary projects have lasted for 3-4 years. Don’t let that little blue update indicator bother you. Hitting that update button can make almost any editor nervous, as getting it wrong can cause unexpected issues that soak up time.įor this reason, we’re all told to never update the software in the middle of a project, but we all know that this isn’t really possible because we’re always in the middle of a project-or rather multiple projects, since they tend to overlap. But updating any software to a new version comes with risk and Premiere Pro is no exception. Now that Adobe MAX has wrapped, many of us will be thinking about downloading the Creative Cloud updates that are released during this yearly event.
