Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 4.0.1
Sheri Codiana Nov 19, 2008 9:02 PMAn update to Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 will be available via Adobe Update Manager shortly. The file will also be available for download tomorrow (November 20) on Adobe.com, as will the readme (at http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/premierepro/releasenotes.html). In the meantime, here is the text of the readme.
We're really excited about this update, especially considering we released CS4 just one month ago. To force an update, choose help --> find updates from any Adobe application. The AME update that releases with this update is required as well.
Important note: if you are using the Elemental Technologies RapiHD plug-in, you must update to the latest version in order to use Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 4.0.1. You can update the plug-in by visiting the Elemental Technologies web page: http://www.rapihd.com/?q=node/129

- Crash when the Metadata panel is brought into focus when a DVCPro HD clip is selected
(#1884633)
- When a filter/search is applied in the Metadata Panel and then a different asset is selected, the
filter does not update (#1876954)
- Custom schema causes Adobe Premiere Pro to crash performing many basic operations,
starting with New Project (#1888938)
- Render of transition in imported EDL-based sequence fails; on Mac, causes application to hang
indefinitely, user must be force-quit application (#1873434)
- After ASND is saved, an effect is always ON if it turns OFF while playing (#1864978)
- Crash when attempting to load a project that contains a composition if headless Adobe
Premiere Pro is serving Adobe After Effects (#1871578)
- Exporting video as MPEG 4 will create a video file that imports at the incorrect length
(#1851063)
- Trimming both ends of a clip, then moving the clip will cause looped playback to be silent, or
only playback portions of the clip (#1868409)
- When exporting a timeline containing cuepoints, deleting a cue point via AME Batch-> Export
Settings, the cue point is still present in the output file (#1866690)
- Playing an audio-only file in the source monitor will cause the application to lock up (#1887330)
- Exporting any MT session as 24bit WAV leads to garbled audio Mac only (#1881684)
- Adobe Premiere Pro allocates too much memory and reads too much data from disk when
loading project files on the Mac (#1890579)
- With camera connected, opening clip from Timeline into Source and selecting File Debug
results in a serious error (#1889197)

- When an AVCHD clip is inserted into a DV timeline with Scale to Frame Size applied, rendered
previews of the clip show artifacts during Timeline playback (#1863988)
- Using scale to frame size in a timeline lowers output quality and softens detail and sharpness;
typing in scale attributes manually or using Adobe After Effects produces much better results
(#1527669)
- Multiplexed MPEG files exported to HD size and then imported back in to Adobe Premiere Pro
show up as 601 color space instead of 709 color space and hence the colors of the imported
files are off (#1852977)
