For the price it is hard to beat the Blackmagic Design Intensity Shuttle. It is not the easiest capture card to use but it works great with FCPX, Premiere Pro CC, Edius, Avid etc.

[Scott Witthaus] ” Don’t you all think we will see an “iMac” Pro” with a hinge-able base to let it lie flat or slightly angled and touch capabilities in the future? Seems like a logical next step to match the surface.”
Yea, I kind of already said that by stating the Apple engineers probably have a Surface Studio in their office and are trying to replicate it. Having said that Apple used to claim people don’t want touch screen on their desktop PC.
[Scott Witthaus] “As an editor and not an artist or designer, I am trying to figure out what a Surface-like device would give me over my iMac or Mac Book Pro right now?”
It may or may not give you anything as an editor. I ask the same thing when people make the comment that you can raise and lower the volume in FCPX with the touch bar and also scrub the timeline with the touch bar. I think to myself you can do those simultaneously with a touch screen. It is unfortunate that you are limiting yourself to just editing. Why not try to create logos using Illustrator or edit the photos that you have to use in your video production with Photoshop? Maybe on day you will start to use Cubase or Cakewalk for audio mixing. In that case the touch screen will allow you to manipulate the virtual audio board as easy as using a control surface. In fact some Cakewalk users have stated they like using touch screen over the control surface but everyone will have their own preference. Others have stated touch screens work good for certain tasks but not everything. I agree.
[Scott Witthaus] ” wanted to watch this video in it’s entirety, but the VO kept causing me to fall asleep.”
It is unfortunate that you fell asleep because some of your questions were addressed in the video.

Make out a bug report and tell Adobe to start rewriting the code for Premiere Pro CC. They can call it Adobe CineEdit 1.0.

[Bill Davis] “Isn’t the Surface Pro just a tablet with a detachable keyboard section? And isn’t it ARM based like the iPad? Or are you saying the shoehorned a desktop CPU into that tablet? That would be cool.”
The Surface Pro uses a Core i5/i7 and Windows 10. It has done that for years. Even when it ran Windows 8 it could use an i5/i7 CPU. You can run Indesign and Illustrator on the Surface Pro. You can find videos of people doing this 4 years ago.
[Bill Davis] “What’s the advantage over an iPad Pro and an Apple Pencil? Apple’s “mimic a sketchpad and pencil.” tools have been out for more than a year and the artists I know who use them love them. Is this different?”
We Windows users have one OS. We can run all the Adobe programs on the Surface Pro. Try and find a video of someone running Illustrator on an iPad. It is possible Adobe may have recently made an iOS version of Illustrator but they didn’t have it a year ago. Having said that you can probably use the Android Tablets as a sketch pad but I doubt they can run the Adobe CC applications.
[Bill Davis] “Or are you talking about the Surface Pro Studio – the big iMac like honker? That’s a touchscreen too right? Does it have the dedicated drawing capabilities like the Surface Pro or iPad pro?”
Is it an iMac honker or an iMac bitch slapper? Many Apple users want OS X to get touch screen support. Other Apple users want the surface studio but it is to expensive right now. That will not be the case 14 months from now. The Surface Studio has a much more advanced touch screen than the Surface Pro but both Run Windows 10 and can use Core i5/i7 CPUs. As I have stated the Surface Studio is like an iPad Pro on steroids.
You can find videos of people ditching their iPads for the Surface Pro. Having said that it is good to ask questions. It is the only way you will learn.

It really doesn’t matter. You can drop AVCHD into a MJPEG timeline of you want. You can drop AVCHD into an HDV timeline. Just make sure at export everything is setup OK. I think Blackmagic Design cameras can record in Pro Res so it might be the best option.

[Andy Edwards] “If you copy and paste text into the titler in the latest version it will crash premiere. This is a known bug that Adobe is fixing for the next release.”
It may or may not get fixed. I lost faith in Adobe fixing the bugs I reported over two years ago. I guess Mac or PC doesn’t really matter. I swear someone working at Adobe is trying to sabotage Premiere Pro. I say that because CS 4 and CS 5.5 had very few bugs. CC is filled with them. I found bugs my first day of using CC.

I did a video a while back stating the Lumetri effects take a toll on the GPU. I swear someone working at Adobe is trying to sabotage Premiere Pro. It is getting worse and worse each release. The effects worked better in Premiere Pro CS 5.5 than in CC 2017.

Feel free to send these link to Adobe. They obviously cannot fix the bugs or they would have done it by now. It is time for Adobe to rewrite the code for Premiere Pro.

You have to send Adobe a link to the video below and tell them to scrap the Mercury Playback Engine and start writing the code form scratch. Premiere Pro is getting worse and worse with each release. We have to let Adobe know it is time to start a total rewrite of the program. I also find new bugs every day but they have not even fixed the bugs from two years ago.

Nice set up. I wish more people would have responded.
