[Tom Wolsky] ” Interesting that the Prelude import interface, skimming, and selection marking looks very much like iMovie.”
Considering that iMovie we know today started out as First Cut, an ingesting / logging app, I wouldn’t be surprised if there were some similarities.-Andrew

You know this is not Pro right? Only one screen, no broadcast output, no multi cam, no EDL…
First Cut – iMovie
Prelude – Premiere X 😉 -

First Cut – iMovie

Let’s hope it incorporates XMP better than Bridge.
Maybe it will tap into some files native metadata and be able to edit that so the meaningful data travels with the footage and not in a proprietary sidecar file.

Key points here:
– consistent Adobe UI – yes mimicking FCP X wouldn’t be a smart marketing move to most types here…
– I don’t have a lot of hair left, so please don’t make me pull the rest out by asserting that Apple was thinking about metadata before us. We had a full metadata panel in all apps except AE since CS4.
– you can’t wiggle bits out of me though as usual, I would love to tell all and share all. 😉Dennis – Adobe guy

Maybe Adobé had the metadata panel, but it didn’t do anything with it. Al Mooney made it clear that this was a significant gap in the Adobe workflow. Prelude’s a good start, but it needs a good deal of work to make metatagging efficient, flexible, and easy. Right now it’s based on Premiere’s capabilities and doesn’t seem to expand beyond markers and subclipping and offers nothing like tags or collections or whatever you want to call it.
All the best,

Want you mean CS4 before Apple? Apple and many other had meta data running before that in iTunes! 😉

That may be what he said, but it isn’t true. Metadata currently flows from Story to OnLocation to Premiere Pro and I think, Flash and Bridge, as well. I realize it might not have been implemented very well, nor is it completely finished, but my gut feeling is that these approaches are rather Utopian. Concepts of all-encompassing metadata almost never pan out except in closed-loop environments.

“Concepts of all-encompassing metadata almost never pan out except in closed-loop environments.”
Isn’t that exactly what the production suite wants to be?
