Adobe released 2015.3 (10.4) Update Fixes

Adobe application updates 2015.3 Version to v10.4, mainly to implement native Quicktime Format support, but also to fix several bugs.

Today Adobe released a list of improvements and fixes. This update mainly addresses further more native quicktime movie formats without to install quicktime on MS Windows.
