Will give this a look in a bit, thanks. I am just learning, and moving over from Avid / Pro-Tools, so it was more academic than something I’m in immediate need of.

If there are any Lightworks editors here who have been hankering for a USB Edit Control Console, there is one available on eBay right now. They’re few and far between, so it’s newsworthy when one appears.

Yeah, if I’d set the project up myself, that’s probably what I would have done; made synced sequences. Although somebody would have to explain to me the benefit of using nested containers, as that’s not a workflow that’s available in Avid, and I’ve never done it. But alas, I didn’t set up the project, so I’m slogging thru best that I can. It’s sometimes frustrating, but I’m getting it done.

Alex, that is almost exactly it! But what I would really like is the same functionality for “merged” clips, so I can see the waveforms on all 8 tracks of my synced audio. This makes it so much easier to know which tracks have active sound when making edit decisions. I wasn’t able to test extensively, but it seemed like I wasn’t able to get merged clips to open on the timeline. Am I wrong? Or is there perhaps a work-around?
So close!

Hi Wallace,
The footage you’re seeing in my video is an hour or so of “sports broadcasters” reading back random lines that the director is giving them, shot with two cameras. Therefore I synced them and figured rather than subsequencing it all I would simply watch it and throw down markers for later reference. Since it was all “off the cuff” sorts of things, ie. unscripted, I knew I wouldn’t be needing it all, but still wanted some way to reference what was there.
It’s all dialog, with no motion-ramping of any sort. Very simple stuff.
I appreciate your effort to help, but I’m not a newsie. 😉
I’m an editor on The Flash, Once Upon A Time (among others), and probably 50 feature films, so matters of process are largely understood.

Yes I’m an Avid-centric guy, so other workflows can frustrate me.
The reason I’m in Premiere Pro is because the project came to me that way, and the director is comfortable in Premiere.
It seems to be working now, so I’m going to just keep chugging, since I need to have my cut ready to present to the director in less than a week. I’ve been using computers since the ’70s (Sinclair and TRS-80, anybody?) and worked thru the Amiga years, etc. I’m fully capable of trouble-shooting hardware when needed.
If I were to make Premiere my chosen day-to-day editor, believe me I’d cross all the Ts and dot all the Is. This machine is tuned for Avid, so I’m not going to change anything major for one project.

Wallace, you’d choose to cut a feature film in After Effects? I’ve cut about 90 Features and television shows, and have never once chosen to do so in After Effects. Yes, the card is CUDA capable and being used. The only reason i’m using PP now, by the way, is because it came to me already started that way. But I’m starting to lean to the “never again” category.

Well then I say Premiere Pro is a resource hog, cause I’ve got 24GB of RAM, 12TB of fast storage, and graphics card that meets spec. All I can say is I would be able to cut this feature in Avid without breaking a sweat. Not trying to get in a NLE war here, but if I’m pushing it to hard cutting a narrative feature with no FX, maybe it’s not ready for prime time?

Yeah, I get that. The problem I was having before, as the first video showed, is that the marker list was clearing when I simply scrolled the playhead, and then wouldn’t repopulate.

Okay, the fine users in Adobe’s forum helped me figure some things out. Here’s an update.

No, my machine is pretty up to snuff. Here’s a video of what’s happening, for anybody interested.
