[Jeremy Garchow] “[Chris Harlan] “One of the great new things about audio in Pr is that I can assign that whole region to a sub and treat the sub as if it were a single track.”
And the color coding. Oooohhhh the color coding.
“Can I? Color-code tracks? I do that in Avid all the time. I didn’t know Pr had picked it up, too. I’ll have to look.

[Charlie Austin] ” if X gets Logic style Track Stacks or some sort of new invisible Compound Clip thingy, it would be really really versatile. I know they’re working on it, I have no clue as to what they’ll come up with or when it will appear…”
Sounds cool. I’d like that.

Not tracks (although you can NAME tracks in Pr which is also nice) but clips. The color coding of clips in Pr is awesome.

[Charlie Austin] “Adding an audio/video clip from a multichannel source to a sequence with dozens of audio tracks and/or stacked video tracks without overwriting something would be impossible.”
Well, the difference is that I am incredibly organized. I setup my sequences in as efficent a manner as possible, mostly so that if someone else has to take a look at it and work on it, they can get up to speed quickly without having to decipher a bunch of procedural b.s. Probably stems from my programming background.
I also don’t work with multichannel audio. Never been asked for anything more than a stereo mix.

You sure can. It’s awful! LOL I got a sequence from someone the other day that looked like something Mondrian had painted while on acid. The colors were not helpful, I put them all back the the defaults. 😉

[Jeremy Garchow] “It is also video and audio, not just an audio clip.”
Ah! You’re talking about where attached audio goes when you bring in video. Yes, patching is the way to go, but I don’t think about it much because those are the tracks I keep patched–1,2–and I drag other dia on those tracks downward when I’m looking to overlap.

[Jeremy Garchow] “Not tracks (although you can NAME tracks in Pr which is also nice) but clips. The color coding of clips in Pr is awesome.”
Ah. I just used clip colors in Pr. on a large sizzle and found them useful. Comedy became one color, new shows another, returning shows another, movies another, etc. I found it useful in contemplating balance and product representation. I doubt, though, that I would use it in most other situations.

But then you want to cut in just ch 3&4 from your source, and not video. So you unpatch video, unpatch 1&2, and patch 3&4 to say, tracks 7&8. Then, you need video and ch 1&2, so you repatch video, repatch 1&2, unpatch 3&4. Unless you forget, then you hit undo and start over. I’m cutting in 7 right now and doing just that. It sucks. IMO of course. 😉
Again, patching isn’t a problem at all. Until you get used to not need to even give it a microsecond of thought….

[Jeremy Garchow] “I also really enjoy the color board, and shockingly, I don’t miss color wheels too terribly. It is more difficult when looking at a vectorscope to try and skew a color in or out with the color board. Perhaps they need a square vectorscope to match the color board? 🙂 I’m kidding of course. Kind of.”
I’m addicted to Colorista II, won’t leave home without it, so the type of native CC in any app is mostly irrelevant to me.

ha, I wondered where they all went : )
It’s interesting to see the contrast though.
So like if you went into say, a BMW dealership the 5 series models would be mostly sticks?
It’s funny how different we are. You would be hard pressed to find a stick over here on a showroom floor.
