Map command to multiple keyboard shortcuts. Possible?

As far as I’ve been able to tell, it can’t be done in current releases of PPro. (I’ll venture a guess that you’re coming from FCP where this was common, eh?) I suspect this has been requested of Adobe — maybe I’ve requested it, can’t remember — but if you want to ask them for it, here’s the link.

Avid primarily, then took a job that used FCP and when it was EOL’d we started the move to Premiere since it came with the production suite. I can just about map and run Premiere like an Avid, but there are little things like this that are getting in the way. It’s a much more efficient editor than FCP, though, in many ways. I like it so far.

Thanks. I’ve been peppering them with feature requests since I first opened the program. Probably sent 10 the first day. I see a lot of promise in the program, but it definitely needs some finessing.

I’ll post another feature request.

EDIT: Feature request sent. If anyone else wants this I suggest you also request it. The more Adobe gets of these the more likely they are to implement them.

Thanks for the request Michael. We read each and every one. The more requests we have for any one feature, the more probability it will get into an upcoming release.

Thanks Kevin.

I figure the Adobe crew, particularly the Premiere Pro team, are being inundated with feature requests begging to make the program function more like FCP. I’m begging you guys to make it more like Avid!

Question for you – if we have a feature request that’s pretty difficult to explain, or is GUI related and would easier to show than tell, how do we send that? I feel like there’s a lot of wasted space and would love to mock up some ideas I think could improve the program, but I don’t want to write 1,000 words when one picture would suffice.

Thanks again. Looking forward to CS6 to see what’s being implemented/changed. Premiere is really surprising me (in a good way).

Hi Michael,
We are not working on making Premiere Pro to be more like FCP or Avid, but we are making changes based upon what editors really want and need. That might even be a feature request that doesn’t exist in either of these products.

Regarding feature requests that are hard to explain, I agree, there should be a way to upload an image or movie describing your problem. I’ll see what I can do to have them add the feature to the feature request page. That’s pretty cool anyway, making a feature request for the feature request page!

Though I can’t comment on what’s coming in the next version of Premiere Pro, I think you will be very pleasantly surprised.

Understood – I didn’t mean to imply you were going to copy either program. But there certainly are things I’d love you guys to “borrow”, and there’s lots of stuff about Premiere I wish Avid would borrow.

Overall, I’m really impressed with Premiere and feel like we’re making the right choice by moving forward with the Adobe suite.

[Kevin Monahan] “That’s pretty cool anyway, making a feature request for the feature request page!”

Lol! It’s like the Inception of feature requests. Should I make a feature request video about the feature request video request for the feature request page?

[Kevin Monahan] “Though I can’t comment on what’s coming in the next version of Premiere Pro, I think you will be very pleasantly surprised.”

I have no doubt that CS6 will be great. I’m looking forward to it.
