[Bret Williams] “so you don’t have to scroll down every time you want to adjust opacity!”
It didn’t get a lot of notice, but they compacted a lot of things in the inspector a little too. (smaller text field etc) Would be nice to optionally extend it though…

[Bret Williams] “Since 5.2 my Motion has no splash screen. It did have a splash screen before didn’t it?”
We are professionals. As such, Apple has decided we should know what app we are opening. Splash screens are for amateurs!
…I mean… yes, it did, and still does here… 🙂

It’s very good, and the developers are super responsive. I will say that if you have a lot of Libraries (50-60 or more) it can sometimes get a little bogged down. For basic cleaning out of Libraries before archiving, I use a little app called X-Wiper. Does one thing, and does it well.

[Noam Osband] “but maybe there is a detail I don’t know about.
“Use the loudness enhancement, same as Gain in 7.
What not a lot of people using 7 seem to know is that there’s no need to double stuff up. If you’re cutting in 7 Just go to Modify-Audio-Gain and reset it. +1 is usually plenty

[Bret Williams] “Seriously, don’t even go there. There is absolutely no comparison and I’ve never heard anyone even suggest it nor defend FCPs keyframing.”
lol… Well, as I said, my key framing needs are pretty basic, and in 10.2 it seems much better for the kind of stuff pictured in the screenshots above.

[Aindreas Gallagher] “Where are the keyframing tools? Why is X still as stupid as it is for keyframing?”
Yes, Premiere gives you visual, numerical, and linear controls for key framing. All easily accessible.
Sure would be great to have this in X. Oh, wait… I do have that and, subjectively, it’s easier on the eyes. 😉

[Steve Connor] “[Charlie Austin] “My favorite default feature is that titles act like compound clips in X. Change one, they all change. Really annoying for slates and spots with multiple versions containing the same titles/cards.”
That caught me out big time when I first used PPro again!”
lol… still gets me now and again.. The best thing about Pr is that, unlike FCP 7, I can work in X at the same time. You really get a feel for the difference between the two apps when you’re CMD-Tabbing between the two all day. 😉

[Steve Connor] “I don’t see these, what effects?”
The picture is just a transform, but they seem to appear in most things you’d KF in the viewer. Again, I haven’t really poked around that much to see if they’re missing or different in other things, but they seem to show up like that when I need them…

[John Rofrano] “How are you getting the curve handles?”
Just click the KF in the viewer, helps to zoom in so you can see them…

[Scott Witthaus] “create a title, save a title, go back the the bin and then edit the title back into your timeline…yeah efficient)”
My favorite default feature is that titles act like compound clips in X. Change one, they all change. Really annoying for slates and spots with multiple versions containing the same titles/cards. Sure, just remember to duplicate it and delete the original before changing it. Efficient.
