Questions for CS6

[Dennis Radeke]

Hi all,

I’m very busy prepping for NAB and hope to see some of you there. That said, I always enjoy supporting this community and so…

While I expect that many of the questions that might be asked, I cannot answer, I would like to extend the offer to try answer as many questions as I can.

So, are there some questions around CS6 versions of Premiere Pro, Prelude and After Effects?

Yes, will the release of the retail versions be at the same time as the Creative Cloud launch?

Congrats Dennis – finally looks like a real pro update – on everything in the package – seriously. Would have been fun to have been part of the beta for this round… certainly might have made past pain disappear.

I look forward to seeing it in action at NAB – I think we have an Adobe staion in the AJA booth so hopefully I can play around with it a bit. Biggest question of course is upgrade cost…

how did you make it so awesome? why are you so tall?

but shheriously… premiere honestly does look quite the ticket to my semi-trained eye.

For myself, I can actually see one pottering around the timeline pretty happily, which, if I’m being honest, is a pretty new sensation for me with premiere.

I’m inclined to think it rocks. And the AE update is savage as well. I can’t believe some of the stuff that is after going in there –
3D camera tracker? Ray Trace engine? er, excuse me?

Where when and how can I get a demo in the NYC area.

Hi Dennis,

Many questions. Most would probably be answered if I had my hands on a 30 day demo – so I’ll make that the question to answer.

I’d cut a couple of spots on a demo, if I had one on hand. When is the release?

Okie dokey:

– Copy and paste clip parameters onto other clips?

– Can you save favorites, like filter presets & transitions, in a project bin?

– What (new) 3rd party plugin devs are on board, ESPECIALLY to create transition plugins? For example, it would be awesome to have FxFactory show up in PPro.

– Clip-based automated audio gain? (instead of track based)

– Search timeline for clip names, selected clips can then be acted upon (see Q#1 above).

– Nested sequences that can retain their (preview) render status. Eg; I had a project recently that had dozens of greenscreen + graphics segments that combined in different ways to create 21 30-minute vids. In FCP, as the render files are maintained, I only needed to render the composites once, and all the renders flowed to the resultant sequences, saving a HUGE (monster) amount of render time.

My biggest hope is that Premier would mimic FCP7 in the way that it uses the rendered parts of the timeline to export the media, rather than re-rendering everything on export. This is one of the major drawbacks that I’ve always had with the program. Cumulatively, in a facility, it cost us a lot of time.

So…. does 6 leverage pre-rendered segments on the timeline for exports?

This is all provided the export is to the same settings as the timeline (of course).

I do that now in CS5. I just select 10-bit uncompressed as my render format for the sequence, then export with “use previews” enabled when I need high-quality outputs. If you just want fast exports for preview exports, leave the render setting at a lower quality level.

Of course when mastering, I render the whole timeline.
