Premiere Pro – I could be convinced!

BTW DRW.

You are sorely missed sir. It’s nice to see your beaming face once again.

[Alex Hawkins] “5) No soft edge wipe.”

You can do that with a Linear Wipe transition effect. It’s in the Video Effects folder, not the Video Transitions folder.

Thank you very much Alex. It’s great to be back, and you can expect to see me around a lot more. I took a year off to totally immerse myself in my new gig at ProMAX, and that year is now over.

Yes David I know you can do it like that but it’s not a transition is it. It’s a transition video effect, applied to a clip.

PPro is just totally lacking in the whole transition effect area IMO. In FCX I can apply a whole host of different FX as transitions. And that’s exactly what they are. A transition effect applied as a transition between 2 pieces of video. Totally customisable.

To get that same sort of variety in Premiere Pro you have to use 3rd party plug ins like genarts or boris and then apply them as an effect on a clip. A whole lot more cumbersome.

Agreed. No question transitions in PrP are weak and need improvement. Just wanted to point out the workaround for anyone who may not know.

This is good news, I’d be very interested in learning what insights that year at ProMAX has given you about where the industry is heading

[David Lawrence] “3) WYSI not WYG if you use maximum render quality and don’t have the right hardware. Lots of confusing variables.
“

Very glad, I’,m not the only one complaining this!

To actually get 32bit float processing in PP is nearly rocket science!

I’d expect 100% 32bit float, 100% MRQ, pixel-for-pixel 100% the same value regardles if GPU or CPU.

In FCP-X I don’t need to think of it. ALL is processed 32bit float RGB.

Don’t forget to write Feature Request to Adobe.

Best regards,
Bernhard

[Oliver Peters] “As far as PPro and editing, for me there are a few issues that are still problematic.

1. You cannot open multiple projects at the same time.

2. You cannot modify audio channel configurations after the clip has been edited to the timeline. The source clips may be changed and then edited again to the timeline.

3. If you import a sequence from another project (like two editors working on the same project with mirrored media files), the import include a folder of master clips that correspond to the sequence. These are essentially duplicate master clips, but they cannot be deleted.”

I have the exact same gripes. #2 is the hardest to adjust to. Will submit a feature request, fwiw.
