CS6 Premiere Pro and Mountain Lion OSX.8 - A good mix

I don't usually upgrade to a new OS version until X.3 or 4 so the bugs are cleared. However, for those using Premiere Pro CS6, upgrading to Mountain Lion OSX.8 will give you a boost in performance and stability. Open CL acceleration is better, real time playback is faster. Just about everything is better and more stable. I was given this tip by Adobe themselves and finally bit the bullet. It works better. I was crazy enough to even do it without my Adobe Master install discs with me.

However there are a few caveats for those using AVCHD cameras:

For other formats, it's working fine and peppier! I'm not digging a few new features with OSX.8 but it is very impressive as an OS. Makes me wonder why I paid for OSX.7 and why they didn't name it Lion instead of OSX.7 (a sham OS upgrade if there was one!).

They did name it Lion when it was released. So far, I have really heard nothing negative about ML but am still holding off awhile before I do the install. We can expect a new FCPX version in late August/early Sept if all the beta testing is completed. Hopefully, we will get a scrolling timeline and the ability to set in/out points off a card on multiple clips prior to ingesting. I was asked what features I would like to see in the new version and gave them a long list but those are two I would most want.
