    1) Replace clip(s). Select a clip or range of clips on the timeline, then drag and drop replacement clip(s) from bin to timeline; or simply select replacement clip(s) in bin and hit hot key. The same hot key would replace selected clip(s) in timeline with contents of source viewer if highlighted. Track would ripple to accomodate new clip duration. New clip would remain selected, facilitating rapid substitution of alternate scenes by selecting in bin and hitting hot key.
    1A) It would be nice to be able to play, scrub, and mark in and out points on clips directly in the bin a la Discreet Edit. This, along with point #1 would speed the editing process significantly.

    2) A pop up box asking you if you want to add or replace effects on clips if that effect already exists. I am specifically thinking of applying a new color correction setting to a range of clips using paste attribute, but other effects could benefit from this option as well.

    if you have just one effect to paste onto a range of clips, you could setup your effect on one clip with no other effects, then copy and paste attributes. Or if your effect is one of many on a clip, copy just that effect to a dummy clip, then copy and paste attributes of that dummy clip.

    You can set in and out points in the preview window (left monitor) – is that what you meant?

    What I would love is Batch Sequence Exporting. When I have a project with 22 separate sequences, it really is time consuming to have to render one at a time.

    [Mike Cohen] “is that what you meant?”

    No, that is not what he meant. What he is asking for is the ability to use the bin’s micro player (at the top of the bin) to play/scrub the selected clip and set in/out points there.

    It might be a little hard to envision if you never saw/used the bin picons in good old edit. Much superior to the nearly useless micro player in PPro’s bin.

    More picon size options. The trend is to higher resolution monitors. Currently I am using 24″ 1920×1200 16×9 LCD panels. The picons get pretty small at this resolution, and are useless for discerning any detail, especially with HD. I’d like to be able to set up my bin with a single column of extra large picons that I could scroll with my mouse wheel (using shift key for a speed boost).

    That’s pretty obvious, but what I think he means, is the ability to CHANGE a setting or REPLACE the ones in a bunch of clips.

    Say I have a sequence with 100 clips such as a fast-cutting music video. I’ve color timed them all with a lighting effect and a touch of radial blur, but after looking at the seuence, I want to back off the blur and warm it up a bit. If I do PASTE ATTRIBUTES, it ADDS the effects, doubling everything up, not REPLACE THEM. To do that, I have to go to each clip and either ajust them individually, or delete them indivicually and then batch paste attributes. (Unless somoene knows how to clear out all attributes except the default ones in one batch command.) And that can be very tedious.

    Eric,

    In Premiere Pro CS3, you’ll be able to replace clips:

    Check out the section on improved editing efficiency.

    Cheers,

    Cool. I hope it ripples the track. This is a little unclear from the demo.
