Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2017 version 11.1.2, released on June 13, 2017, was a critical update designed primarily to resolve a serious media cache management bug that caused accidental file deletions in earlier 11.1.x versions. Key Technical Updates in 11.1.2
Critical Media Cache Fix: In version 11.1.0, a bug in the automatic cache management feature caused it to delete unintended project and media files. Version 11.1.2 refined this behavior so that only specific cache file types (like *.pek, *.ims, and *.cfa) are targeted for deletion, and management is now turned off by default.
Expanded Format Support: Added support for the Panasonic GH5 10-bit video formats, which previously required workarounds or external transcoding. Workflow Enhancements:
Graphics Snapping: You can now snap a layer's anchor point to its edges, center, or other graphic layers within the Program Monitor. Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2017 11.1.2
Precise Movement: Holding Shift while dragging layers now constrains their movement to a single dimension.
Text Navigation: Added support for Home/End keys and Shift + Arrow for character selection within text editing. Notable Bug Fixes & Stability
Mac Performance: Fixed an issue where the timeline and waveform redraw would freeze on older macOS systems when working with large projects. Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2017 version 11
Multicam Audio: Resolved a bug where audio was unintentionally deleted from the timeline when performing a "flatten multicam" action.
System Crashes: Fixed crashes occurring during playback of "growing files" and when scrubbing through high-frame-rate clips (1000 fps).
Application Hanging: Corrected an issue where the program would hang upon quitting if Trim Mode source clips were in use.
