  Premiere Pro 2.0 …..Where’s the Beef?

  Where’s the Beef?

  After looking at the new features video and reading through all the hype, I wonder what happened to all of the features that users wanted:

  Complete AAF / OMF integration – to play nice with others
  Hardware control – external mixers etc
  Import Single sequence from another project automatically
  Chain of effects – user built effects chain to be reused
  Hot keys for Effects
  Open complete sequence into Audition – Audio and Video –
  3:2 Pulldown tools like after effects for film based work
  Ram leak issue

  The whole 2.0 upgrade is a nice makeover but I am not certain that it addressed alot of the user base concerns.

  Hopefully a review will pop up shortly.

  For my workflow I was really hoping for 4 things…

  -Native HDV & Other Capture Card options(AJA)…Great, gives us some options other than Axio.

  -Tighter Integration with AE…all f/x carry over from PPro to AE…looks like this has been addressed.

  -The “Chain of Effects” like AE…really thought this would’ve been added. I do some work on Avid DS too and having those presets and a keystroke to access saved presets is huge, especially from project to project. They did add a “transparent layer” which you can add several effects to and it will affect the underlying layer. I just think this may be cumbersome. If anyone who has beta tested this can describe how this is working for you let us know.

  -Time Remapping…looks like we’ll still have to do this in AE…why?

  Complete AAF / OMF integration – to play nice with others
  AAF import/export much improved and works well with Vegas 6 and Avid Xpress Pro.

  Hardware control – external mixers etc
  Not yet. Although I’ve yet to see editors running work surfaces even on systems that support them – audio editors seem to live by them.

  Import Single sequence from another project automatically
  I agree with this one but simple work around – dump all unnecessary files and sequences from other project before you import it. Importing other PPro projects works well – though don’t know what “automatically” menas?

  Chain of effects – user built effects chain to be reused
  Presets are easy to build but still must ne appied individually unless via copy and paste attributes. Sony Vegas is the only NLE I know of the allows custom fx chains.

  Hot keys for Effects
  Odd request.

  Open complete sequence into Audition – Audio and Video –
  This is a MUST but not there.

  3:2 Pulldown tools like after effects for film based work
  Are you editing film that will have the begative cut? Doubtful.

  Ram leak issue
  You want this added back in as a feature?
