Will P Pro 6 edit for me so I can sleep when the producer leaves?

[Dennis Radeke] “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.”

Right Dennis. The basis for their plug-ins is Quartz Composer. It’s a great plug-in structure, however, it is Mac only. Their plug-ins work in After Effects, but only on the Mac side. You could certainly use dynamic link to get the FX Factory plug-ins into your workflow. As Dennis said, you could write to them and ask them to port their plug-ins to Premiere Pro on the Mac side. If it can be done for After Effects, it certainly could be done for Premiere Pro. However, you will not likely see these plug-ins on the Windows side. I love FX Factory, I really hope they make the move to Premiere Pro some day.

Yes- but it will also get mentioned in the credits in the place where your name would have been if you hadn’t dozed off. 😉

[Dennis Radeke] “Come to the AENY.org group in May and I hope to be there showing a lot of CS6”

I’m shooting in Boston for most of May, but hopefully not on the day of your meeting. Schedule permitting, I’ll see you there.

Thanks and have a great NAB.

Ok my FCP to PREMIERE PRO CS6 questions

1 – custom layouts – love the button bar in FCP7 for quick layout switches – is this possible in CS6?

2 – audio normalization – assignable to button in FCP7 – available in CS6?

3 – keyboard shortcut to globally raise/lower volume by x number of dbs – possible here?

4 – blur transitions – popular but only available on third party in FCP..or roll your own with filters in and out of clips…CS6?

and this is big –

Autoduck like export of project to AVID – we use this ALL THE TIME in FCP 7 (Thank you Wes..for making it FREE!) I assume with Wes now working at Adobe this function is now built in?

So many questions but look forward to working with the new Final Cut 8…sorry PP CS6!

Denis, has machine controlled been worked on. Walter Biscardi reported playing out to tape with machine control felt slugish in CS5.5.

I am interested in an integrated finishing system with grading but I must have timecode accurate playout to HDCam. I note that Tangent Wave is supported. Please let me know when video tutorials on Speedgrade are available.

[Jim Giberti]

No need to prove it to me Jeremy, I’m happily doing the finishing on my second short with it. About 2 years of four season shoots at about 40 locations and dozens of actors.

I’m very happy with the organizational and finishing tools/speed.

I was reinforcing Timothy’s point that you have to do the thinking and leg work to make complex projects organized – there’s no question that FCP X allows for quantitatively deeper and faster ways of doing that as we as speeding things up in finishing – both film and audio.

[Jules Bowman]

Please don’t ever do things the FCX way. The thought strikes fear into my heart. I’m genuinely relieved and excited about CS6. I really appreciate you listen to and are trying to accommodate FCP7 user requests. Apple do it their way and the acolytes love being ‘shown the light’ but for those of us that prefer the more atheistic sensible path we’ve now got you. Stay with us. The hockey puck isn’t going to be landing on a basketball court any time soon. Hockeyball is a fad. You can be an international sport. Please do..

Many thanks.

I see that CS6 will have broader support for Radeon GPUs, but the blurb only mentions the models that come with the Macbook Pro. We have 3 Mac Pros with Radeon 5770s in them. Will CS6 be able to utilise these?
