Prem vs FCPX – Panels

[Jeremy Garchow] “It has a tremendous amount of switches and buttons”
Check out my other post for some exact (and frightening) numbers. PPro competes heavily with MS Word in terms of “GUI design” (hard to even use the term in that context).
[Jeremy Garchow] “I don’t know why I have to feel like I am launching Saturn 5 to get a high res mp4 out of Pr.”
????????
I know, right?Never mind that setting a project up for the first time is a very close second (Saturn 4?) in terms of “usability” or “user-friendliness”. Boggles the mind what hoops one (still!!) has to jump through before even so much as a single frame has been edited! I guess that’s “pro”? Confuse the user with THE most irrelevant options that a screen-sized window will allow… if he still gets something usable out the other end, he MUST be good (i.e. “pro”)! ????

[Jeremy Garchow] “I need to sync the Dailies audio to the higher res, ungraded ProRes. I had to go through no less than three iterations to finally Merge clips, because syncing doesn’t work, mutlicam is unnecessary, and you can’t merge clips but on a timeline.”
I see your issue, however, this is really a case for multicam, even if only one camera angle is ever used.
[Jeremy Garchow] ” In Pr, I have to manually point at every folder.”
I’ll have to double-check, but I don’t recall that to always be the case. Relative paths seem to work fine, although there are cases where one or two folders have to be redirected. Yet in most cases, I can move from one to the other and relinking is completely automatic. It may vary with camera formats – for example, when you have spanned clips, like from C300s – those are a PITA.

[Oliver Peters] “For example, with PDF Viewer, I can see my client’s script right inside of Premiere Pro. In theory I could do that with a PDF in an event in X, but then it’s seen as a graphic, not a PDF with pages.”
Not that it’s directly equivalent, but it’s perfectly possible to bring a text based script into X via the Notes field for any Range Selections you’ve created.
IIRC, Lumberjack uses this technique for script sync and lookup in their system.
Doing so will keep the script text in virtual sync and allow for text search with visual range call-up via the standard database query’s inside X.
FWIW.

I understand, but it isn’t really the same thing. Although better for many applications. I can do that for a clip in Premiere, as well. A very nice approach to that is Media Composer’s storyboard view.

[Oliver Peters] “I understand, but it isn’t really the same thing.”
So how is just a plain ol’ import of a PDF (as described) not enough?
But then, I much prefer the ol’ analog paper version anyway, since that is far more flexible in terms of corrections etc. …

There was a reason I couldn’t use multicam. I need to revisit it as it’s the first thing I tried to do, and then had to resort to an obscene amount of work to get two angles synced and ready to use.
I looked for a panel to help me out, but couldn’t find it! 😀

Simply go to the “edit tab” on the menu bar. Then select “preferences”. Use the jump list menu and navigate to playback. There you will find your second monitor and any 3rd party hardware. Mercury Transmit must be enabled.
