Questions for CS6
-
[Bob Woodhead] “- Copy and paste clip parameters onto other clips?”
No, but we know FCP users want this and it’s on our list.
[Bob Woodhead] “- Can you save favorites, like filter presets & transitions, in a project bin?”
You can’t save them in the project but they are persistent on your machine. There are ways to move them to other machines too.
[Bob Woodhead] “- 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.”
We have just about everything and since we’ve been 64-bit a long time, you won’t have to worry about waiting to long to get updated versions. FX Factory built their architecture on Apple’s graphics engine and as a result cannot easily port it over to Premiere Pro. My advice is to tell them you want it for PRemiere Pro. As a plugin company they are dependent on users and host applications like Premiere Pro.
[Bob Woodhead] “Search timeline for clip names, selected clips can then be acted upon (see Q#1 above).”
Several ways I could interpret your question here, but I would say in a general sense, yes. We have searching in the project panel and a variety of ways to search. We have clip usage now showing up on the thumbnails in the bins.
[Bob Woodhead] “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.”
Don’t know, but I think the answer is yes and it’s been that way for a while. I won’t be able to check for a while so maybe someone else can help me out on this one. BTW – remember that our greenscreen is a) very usable and b) real-time!

[Shawn Miller] “I have a question about the camera tracker. After you resolve a shot in AE, can the tracking information be exported into a scene file for other 3D applications like Maya or Cinema 4D?”
I think the answer would be yes, because you see the camera keyframes and can copy them into the clipboard and paste into a spreadsheet as a worse case scenario. Also, we’re working with 3D companies and you may some nifty tricks from them in the future.

[Dustin Parsons] ” One thing that intrigued me about FCPX was it’s use of Tags or Keywords for entire clips or as a range based section of a clip for super fast organization and grouping. Is there anything like this in Premiere Pro 6?”
searching capabilities – yes.
static and temporal metadata – yes.
using metadata to create virtual subclips – yes.Doing it the way FCP X does it? – no.
Using the keywords to organize the project – no.In the end, you’ll have to give it a try and see if it fits what you like about FCP X’s way.

[al ellis] “hi, i heard somewhere that 3d photoshop objects/layers were no longer supported in cs6 is this true? and if so, does this mean the new programme achitectue is now a real 3d space which in the future may support .obj .fbx etc.?”
Photoshop 3D objects into After Effects is indeed not working as Photoshop changed a lot about their 3D architecture and so did After Effects. There wasn’t enough time connect the two and make it work right so we’ll have to deal with it.
I used to show Repousse from Photoshop into After Effects but anyone who has noodled with it, knows it’s kind of a hack and there are definite limitations about the ‘3d’ in After Effects. With true 3D extrusion in After Effects and a ray-tracing engine, I think we’re taking a first step into a much larger world for After Effects.

[Jeremy Garchow] “What’s the meaning of life? What would do for a Klondike bar?
and my favorite,
If CS6 leaves Boston at 65 mph how long does it take to download?”
Meaning of life – 42
Klondike Bar – not much but I won’t turn one away if it’s offered to me.
Download – No matter how fast, it will still take a while!😉

I answered before I read the last two. I read the books just like every other male kid of my age. 😉

[Michael Aranyshev] “Can you select a bunch of clips in the Project tab, Command-C them and then Command-V them onto the timeline?”
No, but you’ve got a ton of similar ways to get your media there. Premiere Pro has a very cool automate to timeline feature that would give you more control. you of course can also, control click and multi-select and then drag to the timeline and it would instance the clips in the selected order.
[Michael Aranyshev] “Can you select a bunch of clips in the Timeline, Command-C them and then Command-V them into the Project tab?”
I’m not sure why I would want to do that if the clips were already in your project? Because they’re trimmed?

Thanks for the response, Dennis. I appreciate how busy you must be at the moment! I hope you all have a great show.

Dual system. Non-matching timecode. Clapper slate.
– copy a shooting day worth of clips to timeline;
– rename from whatever camera generated to Scene-Take;
– park on a frame sticks hit;
– load matching sound take into source;
– hit Replace;
– repeat until there are no more clips;
– select all;
– copy back to project;Without ever touching the mouse.

I just pulled the trigger on the CS5.5 upgrade to my CS5 Master Collection. It was 10 percent off the list price of $549., so with shipping of the disks the total came to a cool $500.05. This, by the way, gives me a free upgrade to CS6. I love it!
