4 Point Edit Question
When creating a 4-Point edit, can either “Ignore Source In/Out” or “Ignore Sequence In/Out” be a user assignable default action set in the Preferences? This way the “Fit Clip” dialogue box does not appear every time a 4-Point edit is performed. Currently you are forced to slow down and click the appropriate selection in the dialogue box or remember every time to clear your Out Point.
Generally, most NLE’s use the Sequence’s In/Out to truncate the Preview Monitor’s In/Outs during the 4-Point edit. In Premiere it is the opposite of this and it in incredibly annoying to constantly be forced to make a selection from the “Fit Clip” dialogue box.

Being able to default to ‘ignore source out point’ is a must! I haven’t found a way around this. I’m adding it to my list of suggestions to send to Adobe. As well as auto-patching for video and audio tracks, like Avid has, so that the source destination automatically patches to a selected timeline video or audio layer. That’d save so many clicks!

You are absolutely right Nathan. Finally, someone in the Premiere forum that isn’t trying to tell me to change my thinking to assimilate to the Premiere way of doing things.
Yes, the program has come a long way but there are very BASIC editorial functionalities that are grossly overlooked in even the most recent software update. Sure, I like it more than FCP7 now. But, at this point, it is absolutely no replacement whatsoever for Media Composer or Symphony.
My Premiere wish list is growing day by day into a beast of missing features

I’m with you Justin. Don’t get me wrong, I love Premiere. It has a lot of features some NLE’s don’t have. But it could still be better.
Most of all I wish Premiere would stop treating sequences like After Effects does. I don’t want sequences to behave like a pre-comp, and to behave like an entirely new clip when it’s loaded into the source monitor. I want to be able to use sequences to organize my clips into one master sequence, load it into the source monitor, cut from that into a new timeline, and still be able to reference the original source material from there. I hate that it simply references back to the sequence, as if it’s a new clip.
