No official date. I would assume mid-late May as this is their usual update time. During or after Adobe Max here in LA.

Well HDMI is not bi-directional, you’ll need a box that will accept HDMI. I suggest the Intensity Pro Shuttle for Thunderbolt https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/intensity/models/ it’s a cheap solution at $240USD. It will come Blackmagic Media Express which will allow you to monitor/capture to disk. It does not have scopes.

You have three ways of applying effects in multitrack mode:
For individual tracks you can apply effects in the effects rack with the “Track Effects” button selected.
For individual clips in multitrack mode you can select a clip and apply effects in the effects rack with the “Clip Effects” button selected.
For the entire composition you can add effects to the master track (the track at the bottom that doesn’t allow clips) in the effects rack with the “Track Effects” button selected.
These effects will not be reflected instantly in Premiere. Go to Menu > Multitrack > Export to Premiere Pro. You can then print your audio (print is the term in the audio world akin to render, comes from the old “print to tape”) so it applies your effects and it’ll stick it in your active timeline in Premiere.

Your setup seems relatively solid, but let me chime in on a few things:
I wouldn’t worry so much about hard drive speed. If you’re doing a narrative then a single stream of 4K RED footage actually plays pretty well of something as humble as a firewire drive. I’d worry a bit about USB2. The fact you have an internal RAID is a plus.
As far as a 12 core processor, I’m not sure if that can debayer RED footage in real time; I have a quadcore i7 and without my RED Rocket the processing time at full debayer is 20 minutes to every one minute of footage so do the math. On the other hand Premiere’s program monitor has the quality switch which works phenomenally well for playing RED footage at 1/4 or so quality if you’re getting sluggish response or dropped frames.
Premiere pays the render tax at the end of the process, during export. If you’ll have review sessions on-site with your director then you should be fine. If you know you’ll be exporting then benchmark your system to see if you find the times acceptable.
Without a RED Rocket, I would say you’re better off exporting proxies at half debayer quality 1080HD from Redcine-X in something like ProRes and then onlining the film during finishing. There is little reason to edit a full film in 4K, you’ll run into more things that suck time out than save you time.

I’m a PC guy, my Mac hardware is pretty aged otherwise I’d give the demo a try. My last post isn’t meant to be belligerent so much as, on the surface, I don’t see anything enticing for the way I work.

Now I haven’t used FCPX, but from all accounts its initial release was like releasing Microsoft Word without a print button.
Most of these “legacy features” in Premiere are simply keyboard shortcuts and other UI improvements that FCP had been doing right in the past. Yeah, it courts to the migrating userbase… but that’s what pays the bills. What people seem to forget about Adobe is their class-leading support of native formats, advanced algorithm effects like warp stabilizer, metadata supported workflows and so on. They’re catching up with Avid in terms of media management and Adobe Anywhere looks to be on par with Avid’s Interplay.
Avid is always there with their best-in-class support for multi-user editing and storage. Media Composer brings along a lot of features to match Premiere Next like LUT support and some new audio mixing features. Dynamic folders look very interesting.
I’m looking at FCPX and its feature list but I can’t say there is any one feature that could save me more time with my workflow. No one thing makes me feel like it’s a best-in-class solution for a particular problem. While event based bins look alright, they really only offer a big advantage to those with a lot b-roll, and only then you can emulate that workflow with metadata keywords. Auditioning clips seems interesting on the face of it, but I feel like it’s more of a tool for the learning editor than the professional. It does the job but nothing makes me go WOW.

Audition is phenomenal. Form what I know it has good penetration in radio broadcast since it’s inception as Cool Edit Pro. Many stations use it to cut and mix loops for promos and so on. Shame it hasn’t caught on with studio users.

Youtube link? I’d like to listen. My guess is it’s predominately an audio mixing problem, add some compression and makeup gain on the voice-over and lower the music.

Also, if iMovie works for you then try this: find your iMovie capture folder, delete it and replace it with a symlink that points to your thumb drive. You can look up how to create a symlink on Google but it’s one line in the terminal. It basically creates a shortcut that fools the computer in thinking that it’s the location. It’s commonly used for, say, saving your iTunes library on an external drive.

Menu > Preferences > Capture > deselect “Abort capture on dropped frames” is really the only setting that comes to mind. I probably wouldn’t record device timecode either.
For others who may take a crack at this, can you describe in detail any of the possible settings/solutions Adobe gave you?
