All I wanted for Xmas …

Your right….but at least we have Fit to Fill now.

HAPPY XMAS – WAR IS OVER

Now there will be no more disagreements and everyone can coalesce around the new beloved editing system of choice…

This is a very nice update all around, though you’ll still have people who find the magnetic timeline is not for them (understandable) or those that don’t realize there have been updates since 10.0.0 (inexcusable).

I love the magnetic timeline, I have seen all the improvements since 10.0 and yes this is a lovely sparkly update covered in festive decorations.

I just want gang sync and a real grown-up replace edit function – without which it’s very hard to execute the majority of the work I do. In fact, I’m wrestling with the lack of these two functions right this very minute.

Seasonal goodwill to all, however.

How about flattened multi cam, or the playhead following when you enter a compound clip, or match frame from a multi cam? Any of those made it? Trimmed project management?

I know I’m sounding like Scrooge but I didn’t mean this to be a thread about all the things that are still “missing” of which there may be many, few or none depending on your workflow and preferences as an editor.

I just wanted to point out that for me the lack of gang sync and replace edit (the real kind) are actually impediments of such magnitude that I find it really hard to migrate my work to X with any confidence, knowing that I will almost always absolutely require these functions in the course of a typical job. (The workarounds that I have to resort to are teeth-achingly painful and slow.)

It’s very frustrating that the lack of these extremely uncomplicated low level features is still preventing me from working in X as often as I would otherwise like.

So I get very grumpy when I see others jumping up and down in excitement cos Santa’s brought them their favourite new toy.

Have you submitted feature requests within the app?

[Simon Ubsdell]

[Gary Huff] “Have you submitted feature requests within the app?”

Only once every couple of months since the original launch date.

Do you reckon I need to be a bit more persistent?

I think what you wanted for Xmas should have been really big on the list. The list is still very long for many. Many features still don’t exist in Premiere. And they won’t until enough switchers “request” them. (A baffling way to innovate.) But as for the features I mentioned, I was simply wondering if they’re in there. If not, they’re a good addition to your list and this is the perfect forum to start complaining about what’s missing. 🙂

As far as I can tell, they’re not.

The new library system is a vast improvement however.

And it’s great to see that they didn’t migrate the white balance tools from iMovie despite the confident rumours that this would happen. That alone has made my Xmas 😉

FWIW…(nothing) The code for playhead to playhead Replace is definitely in there now, it’s just not enabled yet. There are a lot of “new” features that didn’t make it into this release. The bulk of the work (and there was an enormous amount) was under the hood. XML is way way more detailed, There’s a real API now etc. I think now they can focus on all the UI stuff, improvements to Roles, etc. I know I’ll be bugging the crap out of them. I’ll give ’em a day or two to relax first though. 🙂
