To elaborate on how it might work, as I see it:

1. It dupes your project file
2. Makes the substitutions
3. Renders
4. Deletes the duped project file it made (or not, doesn’t really matter)

Man I love Vegas but I have read an awful lot of complaints about customer support.

My Canon 5d2 1080 projects render on best at a ratio of 10-30 minutes for every actual minute in the project. This is with pretty simple projects on an i7 3.4. So, layers, effects, and i3 could mean 2 hours for every minute, 35 minutes, 70 hours. I’ll let others add to this estimate

I’m using Windows 7 64. It’s only showing that the program is using 900mb of 16gb of ram when the file in question is rendering, and that overall 13.7gb is available. I’m getting this msg

As I stated I have 16gb ram and it’s hardly using any of it, my page is set by Windows at the moment to be 24gb, so I don’t see how what you’re saying applies. Task manager shows 13.7gb of available memory when I open the project, and now I’m getting memory warning upon opening it.

Ok, thanks Todd, I will submit some usability improvement suggestions. I like PP in general. The engine is obviously powerful, and the render quality is excellent. I think there is room for improvement in the UI/way of doing things, particularly in the editing basics. Thanks for the response.

Hi Todd, thanks for the reply. No, I meant rippling clips when you simply move a clip (not trim or delete). I’ve since deduced that that’s what the “track” tool does. It only seems to work on one track at a time though, which is problematic. In Vegas for example the ripple edit tool applies to trimming or moving or deleting, and it operates on all tracks at once. Is there anything analogous in Premiere? Thanks

[Brett Cole]

Thanks, I don’t want to trim the clip, I simply want to move it, to shift it on the timeline. This doesn’t seem to be possible.

As for the rolling edit approach it only seems to work if I’ve already trimmed the clip in the source monitor, which is not what I want.

I want to be able to bring in entire clips, cross fade, then simply move them around and keep the transitions. This is really straightforward in Vegas. Also when I overlap two clips and then separate them it trims them automatically. This is not helpful to the way I edit and is not the way I’m used to working in Vegas. Is it possible to place a clip, place another, overlap the first with the second, then move the second back down the timeline, leaving the first unchanged?

I’m new to Premiere but very old to software UI and Adobe Products. Whereas the rest of the Creative Suite is brilliantly designed, Premiere seems to be really clunky as far as basic editing. Just doing the most basic things is like pulling teeth. I like the fact that’s it’s faster and more robust than Vegas, but I can see why so many Vegas users went back to Vegas after trying Premiere.

[Brett Cole]

Thanks for the reply. I’m not talking about removing one of the clips, just simply shifting it some on the timeline, the overlap between the two is still there, but any time I move any of the clips at all the crossfade is removed. It can’t really be that poorly designed can it? Doesn’t make any sense. I’ve never used another editor that behaves that way.

Thanks for the feedback John, appreciated
