Premiere wish list
I want to be able to:
1) Assign user workspace layouts to hot keys.
2) Have various layout “skin” options, and be able to design my own.
3) Have tab based rather than folder based bins.
4) Have capture location default to the currently open bin.
5) Have sequence and bin tabs that would undock to their own windows.
6) Have hot keys to cycle through open bins and sequences (make active).
7) Have larger playable bin picons with markable I and O points.
8) Be able to drag clips (single or multiple selections) directly from sequence to bin.
9) Design custom macro tools that would (for example) delete space and clip leader from timeline cursor in current clip to previous clip’s out point (with ripple) with one keystroke.
10) Have an effects control parameter graph window that would display multiple selected parameters (superimposed in different colors) with adjustable curves.
11) Have a search tool that can look into other projects.
12) Decide what tools I want displayed in the toolbar, so I can make it smaller.
13) Make speed a default effect like motion and opacity, and allow curve-based speed changes in the effects control window.
14) Delete individual rendered sections of timeline (easily).
15) See capture audio levels, even if I can’t adjust them because it’s a digital source.
16) Drag the preview bar without having to be in the exact middle to grab a handle.The folks at Adobe read this forum, right? Hopefully all this and more will be in version 2. Anyone else have any suggestions?

…And by far the most important: 64-bit with 10-bit rendering.

HI,
Some more
1.Trim handles on edl import and batch capture (Not just Log).
2.Better interpolation options on speed change of chots.
3.Batch capturing of time line.
4.Batch capturing of edl on clip base like any other NLE, it should not just capture the entire tape.thanks

To be able to unlink a video-only clip and have it redigitized with audio.

Number 1 is already available. Look at the bottom of the list in the Keyboard Customization dialog box. The first one you create is zero.

Nice list.
For #16, hold down the Alt key and that’ll do the trick.

Thanks Steve and Tim. The workspace hotkey is a biggie for me. I’m glad it’s in there. A very handy suggestion (if you have dual monitors) is to have two user layouts; one with the project window full screen in the right monitor, and another with the effects control window full screen in the right monitor. Having a hot key to switch between these layouts makes it even handier. I’m sure there are more handy layouts, but this is one I use all the time.

1. Keystroke to focus the Monitor Window
2. Keystroke to focus the Project Window
3. Keystroke to focus the Timeline Window4. A keystroke to select the clip under the CTI in the timeline window, eliminating the need to click it with mouse.
5. A keystroke to move a clip from the bin to the source window.
6. Keystroke to trace/match frame from a reference clip in the source window to the master clip and bring it to the source window.
7. Multiple bin windows and a keystroke that will walk through the open bins. Should probably be the same keystroke from wish #2 but once the MRU bin is focused subsequent key presses moves you to the next MRU bin and so on in a circular fashion.
8. ABILITY TO CAPTURE DUAL MONO AUDIO TRACKS AND NOT JUST STEREO!!! (I’m sorry for yelling – please forgive me but this is important.)
9. Allow the rolling edit tool to completely roll over a clip. It really bugs me that I have to zoom in and delete the last remaining frame of a clip before I can roll onward. I’m a pro, I know when want to get rid of something and sometimes I want to do it by rolling over it – all of it. (I really wanted to yell here but was able to maintain some decorum.)
10. Some method other than Automate to Sequence to add the default transition to a group/range of clips. I want to do this after the clips are on the timeline not in a bin.
11. Preference for setting the default alignment of transitions. For an old fart like myself several decades of tape editing means transitions always Start at Cut. Why are you making me adjust this every time I add transitions?
12. The info that appears in the tool-tip when the mouse hovers over a clip on the timeline (source in, out, duration timecode) should be displayed on the clip all the time.
13. Zoomable (on the vertical axis) audio waveforms on the timeline.
14. Integration with AE, Audition, Encore and Photoshop that is so tight it seems like one big happy application.
15. What everybody else in this tread has or will mention.

This one is in there.
When the track is expanded, go to the left side of the timeline window where the track names are and drag the track taller. If you want to scale all audio or video tracks unformly, hold the shift key down while you do it.

Hi Tim.
Thanks for that. I am aware of that feature but it’s not quite what I was thinking. What I have in mind is to be able to re-scale the display’s area much the way Audition zooms the waveform display in the vertical direction. For instance, if we assume (dangerous I know) that it currently reflects 0dDfs at the full height of the waveform display area I would like it to instead reflect other values. For example, where full display height is at -9dBfs.
This is fun.
Dave
