Frame.io meets Adobe Premiere Pro

it does show you the gist of what Frame.io does though. After watching the PPro ‘tease’ I was like Herb and a bit lost. Once I looked over the rest of the site, including the FCPX video, I was like “Ah, it’s going to do those types of functions but *inside* of PPro”.

[Walter Soyka] “I’d love to see more services from Adobe, too. I think there is so much upside here for us as users.”

I’d love to hear some ideas that you would have Walter. There are a lot of different areas we can pursue. What is the low hanging fruit?

Personally, I would rather having all this stuff running outside of my edit software.

Then you’re lucky thats the only option with FCPX then 🙂

Exactly my point. Maybe I have been in this business too long, but having that software running inside my edit software seems like a SNAFU in the making.

You Premiere folks have fun! 😉

For someone committed to using an NLE that is predicated on outsourcing as many features as possible to third party plug-ins, that seems like a strange sentiment.

I have as few of them as possible and use them only as needed. Even then, I am not sharing timelines, media and accepting comments inside my NLE. You have to admit that Fram.io is a bit more than your ordinary plugin.

This is a joke, right?

[Jeremy Garchow] “This is a joke, right?”

I didn’t mean it as a joke. The design of FCPX is such that many key elements are pay as you need third party plug-ins – I’m not saying that this is bad in any way, it seems to work fine and the whole editing ecosystem around X seems very healthy and is one of it’s positive virtues, at least in my eyes. I’m just surprised that an X editor is now claiming that a third party plug-in is such a dangerous concept. Where’s the joke?

Thank you for clarifying.

[Herb Sevush] ” I’m just surprised that an X editor is now claiming that a third party plug-in is such a dangerous concept. “

For me, I don’t think it’s the third party support, it’s just that it’s a very vague video that shows how you can scrub someone else’s timeline, and peep in to their project via another ‘pane’, and all of this runs via the cloud?

It seems like it may be cool, but it may not be either. Frame.io, just on it’s own, is very cool. Adding virtual NLEs to it remains to be seen. One of my major gripes with Premiere is it’s project organization. Files seem to double and triple in the browser for no reason, especially when you start adding versions of timelines via XML. I am sure I’m holding it wrong, but interchange between multiple editors or systems seems to be a few steps behind even FCPX. Perhaps Frame.io will help this, but perhaps it will only add to the confusion.
