[Simon Ubsdell] “If you really are doing ripple moves all the time, then maybe you need to be doing more thinking about what you’re doing and less random moving of stuff around?”
Hmmm. I don’t know what kind of editing you do. But the kind of editing I do involves continually cutting to get the length down as low as possible while retaining the message. This involves a lot of cutting words, cutting pauses, shortening gaps, heck even speeding up interviews when they are off camera. And, yes, more rarely rearranging order. But, all of these things involve ripple edits. Ripple edits are basically my bread and butter.
What I don’t do is a lot of trim tweaking. To this I would rephrase your original posit, “If you’re trimming a lot maybe you need to think more about setting your in point properly when you put the clip in.” ? Of course, I’m half joking here.
But let me ask you. Is it possible the difficulty of easily rearranging clips in other NLE’s actually discourages experimentation to get the best possible edit? While I don’t do it a lot, when I do it really makes an enormous difference.
Sometimes I think there is a disconnect between those editing news/documentary/web videos versus those editing scripted videos. Honestly I think they are in completely different worlds with completely different needs.

I have had a similar problem with cache files stored on a server. The crazy thing is, it doesn’t always happen. Sometimes you open a project and everything is rendered. Other times you open it and it has to re-render everything. Other times it has to re-render some things.
The best I could figure out is that it had something to do with permissions. It was far worse on projects I restored from a backup.

Assuming your horizontal pixel dimension is the same in each, it should be a pixel to pixel match. So no, you won’t lose any quality.

In the Inspector, click on the video tab. Then scroll down to Spacial Conform. Change it from “Fit” to “None”. That should do it. The risk with scaling is that unless you do it exactly right your pixels won’t line up exactly. Therefore it could blur the image slightly.

The feature is there in the non-pro version, but it doesn’t work. They seem to be going through a buggy phase. I can’t even register a new workstation. Hopefully once the pro version is released they’ll get everything cleared up.
I think what separates the Pro version is ACES color management. My understanding is that they both will have X-Rite capabilities.

Script-Q works for us. Not terribly sophisticated, but works.

Apparently Color Finale Pro, which is supposed to be released soon, will have a global adjustment feature.

Yes. I’m joking. Good luck.

Looks like I need to launch BrettFX.com for a little competition. 🙂 Don’t you dare buy that domain!
