Premiere Pro 2.0

What would you look at?

You can have multiple timelines with a single project, however they will all adhere to the project settings dictated by your selection when you created the project. So, you cannot have an HD and HDV timeline in the same project, but you can have multiple HD timelines or HDV timelines in those respective projects.

it would be nice to be able to have two sequences (timelines) on screen at once – it is nice to be able to drag from one sequence to another, rather than copying and pasting.

Also, copying and pasting or dragging from a timeline to a bin is a nice feature, but one we won’t see in Premiere probably.

You can have two timelines open in Premiere Pro, you just need to have them in separate windows (now panels), you can easily drag and drop between the two.
The Timeline to BIN is not in 2.0. I would hope to see that in a later version.

well…that IS handy.

I’m coming from Incite on a Digisuite system, using Titlemotion and AFX for effects. On the upside, clip management and timeline editing were great. On the downside, there were no clip database search functions, and there were no options to output the timeline to something other than tape or a dvd recorder. You could create a capture clip and convert it to MPEG1 with TMPEG, but that is cumbersome for long sequences/numerous layers.

I am interested in the Axio hardware and was hoping to transition to it with Premiere on one system and the same editing, software only on a second system. I would still capture SD material from Beta SP, DV and DVCPRO25 tapes via analog component/RS422 from decks.

In HD, I want to work with HDV input via firewire, plus DVCPRO50 and HD via p2 cards, firewire and usb 2.0. I do not plan to purchase an HD deck, as most HD projects will be short form and can be output as files. Consequently, I planned to purchase the SD Axio system. My understanding is that Axio’s HD breakout box is only needed for HD analog component and SDI i/o.

What I would really like is the realtime performance of Axio with an app that’s as easy to use as Incite but offers flexible output and better integration with AFX. Premiere would be the ticket if it has enough of the right stuff.

Using Premiere 2.0 software only, it doesn’t sound like I will be able to use p2, DVCPRO 50 & HD. My only interest in HDV is that I know some clients will be bringing it with them, so I need to be able to support it.

I’ve looked at Canopus Edius and like much of what I see. I think it would be easier to switch from Incite to it. Of course there are lots of details and problems you won’t know about until you actually try to do one of your own projects with it. Support for DVCPRO 50 & HD is extra but at least it’s available.

I haven’t had time to read all the Premiere 2.0 posts, but the mood here seems to be one of disappointment.
