Thanks Richard that’s good info.

I’ve put an e-mail to my reps at Adobe….perhaps they can shed some light on the subject.

As far as moving (or copying) is concerned…I understand that the benefit of a SAN is to be able to have multiple ppl accessing a single file. This is good….but in some instances…I’d like to have a freindly interface to copy material to a new location, that way if one editor deletes material…the other person doesn’t lose it….and from what I can see as far as Premiere’s architecture is concerned, since the data seems to be porject based and there’s nothing overseeing all the linkages…there’s no way to really determine external dependencies….

So adobe needs another layer of application to track all this…or do like I plan to…make additional copies of “library” material to a differnt location. being able to identify material based on meta data search is important to this process….so that’s where I see Bridge being useful.

Hi Guys…

In my situation, it’s not just the visual organization of the clips on the tracks that is problem.

If I have Material editied to V1 and A1, and I subsequently decide to take clip (with both video and audio) from elsewhere on the timeline and say Superimpose (via PIP, Key, or whatever) over the preceeding portion of the timeline. When I move the clip to put it on to V2, it’s corresponding audio does move in time, but lands on A1 covering (replacing) the audio that was there.

If it were to move to A2 then I could mix both A1 and A2 together. (say VO and Nat sound trax for example)

This is the crux of the problem.

I suppose I could ust move the audio to track A2 (or whatever) first then drag the video to where I wanted to on V2.

I think I got used to a FCP behavior that is not emulated here. BUT the HELP file mentions this functionality….Unless I just didn’t read it right.

hope this helps….

Thanks for the insights….

Hi Andrew..

Great…so there is a file based media consolidation…with handle options….
nice!

Also for offline > Online suppose you could make the copy w/o media…

then batch all the new clips with the trimmed marks?

Thanks….

Except that smoke is an editor and inferno a compositor…

the appropriate comparison would be:

smoke and fire

flame and inferno

OK…

so click the slider and type a value got it…

Perhaps a good rule of thumb is to drag the default settings to a bin…

so you can just redrop it on a clip if you want quick reset…

🙂

Where do I click?

On the value or on the slider?

Thx…
