Premiere Pro slow down my work.

I did Tim, thank you. I also did respond, actually to both of your emails. Thanks for the download and be sure I’ll spread the link, thanks again.
I’ll have to try and get some technical info for you on this board set. I only know about what I was able to do on this system with the hardware I mentioned. This BTW, does NOT mean that I think that each time processors double in capability, Axio will also double in real time, there are other bottlenecks to consider, obviously. But I do believe that as long as another bottleneck is not reached, Axio has the ability to deliver more capabilities.

Don’t get me wrong. I chose Premiere. I think there are advantages to being with a mainstream application that many will know, with integration with the other Adobe products will pay off in the long run. There are lots of things Premiere will do that Edit won’t…but it is a tough transition.

Fair enough. It would be great to get a little insight into that, both for myself and those here on the PPro board…

Yes, is a very tough transition.
I can’t make simply editing things than with Edit it was so simple and intuitive.
Premiere have too many tools, is a little confused and not intuitive.
Edit have few basic commands and with that commands is possible to make everything; intuitive, fast, simple: less commands (all with keyboard shortcut!) for the same result.
Premiere seems to me like more a photo editing program that a professional video editing program.
I try to study Premiere but is very tough.

TYPICAL DISCREET EDIT* WORKFLOW

This type of keyboard based workflow allows the user to develop great speed and accuracy as well as being able to perform all necessary editing functions working within the smaller workarea of the keyboard. It is a wrokflow that must be experienced by an editor to really appreciate.
I will try and give you a “typical” workflow to try and follow this workflow on the keyboard only.

press a key to put focus on the timeline

press a key to activate each track you will edit on

press a key that puts the focus on your current bin, another keystroke would let you cycle thru your bins until the right one is selected.

The Arrow keys now allow you to search thru clips in the bin, with keystrokes allowing you to view each clip when selected. viewing means wathing the clip play, jog, or scrub, with the ability to create an In or out point, or mark an In point with the I key, press the D key and enter a duration, press enter and the clip has both in/out marked. Or enter an Out point, press D and type a negative duration, press enter and you have back timed your clip.

You find the right shot and now, while still in the bin, viewing the clips playback on both desktop and broadcast monitors, you navigate footage by playing, jogging, or scrubbing, and mark your in/out points.

another single keystroke edits that clip to the timeline.

B key takes you back to bin, arrow keys again allow you to continue finding clips in that bin or a single keystroke allows you to cycle thru each bin to find the next shot.

you find the next shot, mark your in/our points, and create another edit to the timeline

continue as needed until you are ready to trim some of these shots.

single keystroke puts focus back on timeline

the Home key puts the timeline cursor at the beginning of the timeline

Space bar plays, you watch the first edit go by

Space bar stops playback

You type T to trim the tail of the last edit or H to trim the head of the last edit, and then type in a + or – duration, press enter, the timeline cursor automatically backs up 2 seconds (user defineable) before the last edit and plays back. You repeat this process as you play thru the timeline, trimming where needed.

This represents a typical but powerful workflow that can be used to create your basic timelines in the fastest time, with a tremendous Economy of Motion value for the editor. All of this possible without ever leaving the keyboard. . .

P.S.

I use to sit with the keyboard in my lap, sometimes with my feet up on the console, and edit hours and hours of footage, and actually having fun doing it. . .ahhhh the good old days, if ONLY ADOBE WOULD HEAR ME !!!!!! There just a few keysrokes away from doing this, maybe 2.5 🙂

This is exactly what i want and what i need from a video editing program, and i don’t think is so difficult to put in some future versions of PP.
I wait PP 2.0 before think to maybe buy an Axio System because my work is 95% pure and simple editing.
For now i stay with my Discreet Edit and if i need some special effects i prefer to wait the rendering, fast editing workflow (with ONLY keyboard) is more important for me.

Thanks LS
