Here's another installment of critical, useful or bizarre bugs in your NLE that you should know about.

After a bit of a hiatus, Bugs of the Week is back again.
Like any major software update, Premiere Pro CC has several new and exciting bugs.
Fix for CC applications crashing immediately
Adjustment Layers may not affect nested multicam sequences
Color Curve Tool clips luma at 100%

Trick for installing Adobe apps in multiple languages

Premiere may not boot for some Windows users with old graphics drivers
Premiere CC no longer creates a new sequence with a new project (this is probably a good thing but it's causing some confusion)
Cannot sort clips by creation date
Clip Mixer levels can reset when stopping playback
Media Composer 6.5.3 released with lots of fixes
Media Composer 6.0.4 released. Among the usual bug fixes, it also includes a new XML export option for markers.
Workaround for failure rotation stabilizer failure in the 3DWarp effect
Repeated frames on QuickTime imports
Performing a mixdown instead of transcoding can sometimes prevent gamma shifts
Dongle Manager may not launch if permissions are incorrect
Apple finally fixed a bug we reported a year ago that prevented certain apps from opening QuickTime movies that did not have a chapter marker on the first frame. We've been working around it but it is now fixed in OS X 10.8.4 so we recommend updating.
Adobe Premiere Pro has a little-known Console window that provides access to hidden functions. To access it, press Cmd+F12 on the Mac or Ctrl+F12 on the PC. You may have to also hold down Fn on a laptop.
A blank window will appear. Click the dropdown button in the top right and select Debug Database View.
A list of various hidden options will appear. Here are five useful things you can do with it.
Adobe disabled the Time Warp filter in CS5 and subsequent versions. If you still want to use it, change TimeWarpFilterEnabled to true then relaunch Premiere.
Peak files allow Premiere to cache waveform information so that it doesn't need to be regenerated every time the project opens. However, these files take up space on disk and the peak file generation process can take time for certain formats. If you'd like to disable peak file generation, change SuppressPeakFileGeneration to true.
When you unlink video and audio and then adjust it, Premiere does not show that the clips are out of sync. You can enable that by setting TL.SupportsUnlikedSyncIndicators to true.
Note: this only appears to work on video clips that were imported with audio attached, rather than clips where the audio was manually linked.
This respects the gamma level of the QuickTime movie as specified in its gama atom (you can add this in QT Edit). To switch it on, set QTUseSourceGammaLevel to true.
You can hide the list of AME presets that appear in the Export dialog by setting AME.EnablePresetDB to true (yes, this is counter-intuitive).
