Mark In/Out on section of timeline, copy paste?

That would be Lift or Extact in the Program Monitor.
Make sure you target the track(s)

Aah, got it, thanks…

Now Im trying to see why keyboard customisations do not stick, for example I wanted to use the up an down arrows to move to previous next edit points… and have changed them in the keyboard customisation and saved the new setting. Returning there the setting has been saved but it still does not work.

Also, ripple paste? it seems to be missing completely.

TX for the help,

Mark.

I assume ripple paste is what Premiere calls Paste Insert (under Edit menu, and it has a keyboard shortcut).

Thanks Chris,

I was spending a day doing a relatively easy job on PP as I have just got Apple to refund me for the pathetic FCPX.

I am pretty fluent in FCP, and found the FCP keyboard mapping in PP did not work very well, when I changed one thing and saved it, none of it would work… anyhow, job is nearly done, but it was a bit of an uphill battle… not PP’s fault at all!

Cheers
Mark

Hey Mark,

Good to se you. You’ll find the place is working a lot better than the time you left. 64 bits and MPE turned a huge corner. Not all is perfect but where is it. BTW I’ve also found that redefining the up and down arrow keys does not work.

Hey there David,
Good to see you too!
Ja, a bit tired (to say the least) of apple doing what they do best, being super arrogant… so Im trying to use PP on Windows on my Mac until I can justify getting a new PC and getting rid of the mac… but am having major issues cos my MacPro does not have a 64 bit kernel (late 2007) – despite 64 bit being plastered all over their advertising blurbs at the time (like “revolution in post” was supposed to impress us with FCPX!)

aaaanyway, things are generally good, hows things with you?

Im going to start a new thread about the 64 bit question…
Be well, catcha later,
Mark.

I’m good. I just finished a 3 hour mini-series. Happy to report that it was a stable great experience on my 8 core W7 workstation. Waay different than CS3 – 4.

I’ve no doubt that Adobe’s in it for the long haul. If the Mac Pro won’t run 64 bits you’re SOL. The upside is that Windows workstations are very reasonable. After the Axio and HP xw9300 I built one on an Intel motherboard with dual 8 core Xeons and 24GB for 3k$

Hey mate,
Im glad youre doing well.

Well, it’s odd… the Mac Pro does load win7 64 bit, it does load CS5.5 and the apps seem to run fine…
The main problem is I dont know if it would be wise to buy a quadro 4000 which works on the mac pro in osx and win7 only to find that when i dump the mac pro, the card will not work in another pc, or even worse, the quadro 4000 will not work at all in the macpro without 64 bit boot camp drivers which cause BSOD after 30 seconds.

Your system, would you mind telling me the specs so I can price it here in the UK, I may do something similar, or copy yours since it works!

Cheers David

Mark.

I based it on an Intel Workstation Board S5520SC. But that was 10 months ago and it’s probably going to be superceded by something else with Thunderbolt in the not too distant future.

Of all the high end dual Xeon boards that one was recommended most highly for stability and compatability, even over Supermicro.

I Populated it with 2 Xeon 275’s – mid range, best price performance – 24GB of 1333 MHz ram and an Intel 150GB SSD.

I already had a chassis that I could drop it in to.

With CS5 all 8+8 cores are working all the time, but CPU usage rarely goes above 25%.

I threw in an nVidia GTX 470 which I found great for everything except it’s a little memory short with 5k still series clips.

As far as the Quadro 4000 GPU it’s a mid-range card and the higher end gaming GPUs are much more powerful in CUDA cores at less than half the price. They are short of the 2-4 GB of vidram that’s useful for editing 3k+ material but if you’re exclusively HD then they’re a really powerful and economic solution.

If you’re flush with cash I’d recommend an HP workstation and a higher end Quadro card. It will save you some time, work very well, and HP will service it on site for 3 years.

Hope this helps.

Great advice, thanks David, very helpful.

Ok, but I thought only certain of these Nvidia cards were able to harness the mercury engine, or are those high end gaming cards able to do that too? I usually work 720p rarely 1080, never higher… But more speed for less money sounds like a winning formula to me 😉

Speak soon, thanks again mate,
Mark.
