Hey Alex what version of PPro are you on?
In CS6 alt(opt) + drag to the desired track should work flawlessly. Tom does this not work for you?

Hi Richard,
If I understand you correctly CS6 has the functionality at the moment to do what you are asking. You might just have to map a couple of keyboard shortcuts. Just open up the keyboard shortcuts box and search ‘extend’.
You’ll figure it out from there.
Hope that helps.

Cool! Is that a 75? We still have one of those for ingesting archive stuff?
And is that an 1800 above it? We used them to record question time from Parliament House every day for over a decade.
Great stuff Walter, what on earth are you doing with them?
BTW I do remember those old 5 1/4 floppy drives. All my Commodore 64 games were on them. Used to take ages for Jumpman and Manic Miner to read.

[Bret Williams] “Doesn’t work that way. You can have the whole suite installed on 20 computers for that matter. But only 2 systems will actively function at once. In your scenario, two of those 4 will always be inactive.”
OK so maybe I misunderstand. I realise you can only have one active computer at a time. So. . .
. . .Can I do this? I edit at work with PPro on my MacPro. I go home and do some extra work on Photoshop on my iMac. Later on, I finish off some Illustrator work in bed on my laptop.
Is that a workable scenario?

Plus of course, because the Creative Suite is a suite of products you don’t have to have all the applications installed on one computer. i.e. you can have Photoshop on your Mac at work and PC laptop at home while you have PPro installed on your other power PC at work and your iMac at home, if you so desire.
Beautiful!

[Dennis Radeke] “Agreed but as stated earlier, we are working on it.

https://www.idustrialrevolution.com/Here are two that are doing it as transitions today and a lot of others are working on it. I think we’ll get there.
“Many Thanks Dennis. I just purchased the FilmImpact set.
Cheers.

Stephen,
If you’ve had any background in tape editing then yes this is strange behaviour, but unfortunately it’s just the way Premiere Pro works.
When editing tape the mark out point on your recorder remains intact. Not so in PPro. It thinks the out point (on the timeline) is the last frame of video you wish to insert (or overwrite) and it does not remain intact (on the timeline).
It’s just a different way of doing things. As Ivan says, just think of your out point (on the timeline) as the last frame of vision that you are inserting (or overwriting).
Hope that makes sense?

Cool. No probs David.

Yes David I know you can do it like that but it’s not a transition is it. It’s a transition video effect, applied to a clip.
PPro is just totally lacking in the whole transition effect area IMO. In FCX I can apply a whole host of different FX as transitions. And that’s exactly what they are. A transition effect applied as a transition between 2 pieces of video. Totally customisable.
To get that same sort of variety in Premiere Pro you have to use 3rd party plug ins like genarts or boris and then apply them as an effect on a clip. A whole lot more cumbersome.

BTW DRW.
You are sorely missed sir. It’s nice to see your beaming face once again.
