The differences between trimming in Avid and Premiere Pro CC
-
One of the things Avid has done very well – and in ways much better than any other NLE – is those types of invisible functions. For example, where the cursor goes after you complete an action. Or the fact the numeric values are stored. Advance +2:00 and hit enter. The next time you hit enter, it uses this stored value. Or transition values, like a custom 27-frame dissolve that starts 5 frames before the cut. The next dissolve you apply, those values are held.

[Oliver Peters] “[Aindreas Gallagher] “can’t you do the same with an altdrag in ppro cc – in that it activates all the edit points for edit trimming stuff?”
No. At least not like in MC. With MC if you drag the mouse from the blank space above a track and lasso around a stack of cut points, you are switched into the trim mode and these cut points are activated. In Premiere it selects the clips you’ve touched, but doesn’t place you into a trim function.”
I think Aindreas may have meant cmd+drag… ctrl+drag on the PC selects all edit points and activates the trim window… press “t” to toggle between that and the program monitor while keeping the edit points active. 🙂
EDIT: I assume it works the same way on the Mac version.

Yes….The Invisibles. Wasn’t that a movie? Well, if it was it was edited on an AVID.

One of the features I’m missing most from Avid, and my custom FCP setup, was JKL trimming WITHOUT entering trim mode. Maybe I’m missing something but in Premiere when you have A, B, or A/B trims selected in the timeline you can’t use the trim many or JKL without being in trim mode. This is a bit annoying for quick and simple trims within the timeline. You can only trim with the mouse within the timeline which for many of us coming from other NLE’s this is quite a design flaw.
