Tom –
I know you are a cheerleader for AJA, and I am too. I have used their products for almost 10 years and I think they do great work.But my expensive monitor has sat dark for weeks now and clients have had to huddle. Sure, I don’t want a buggy release and I know that it is a time-consuming task…sigh. I guess i just want to commiserate. My excitement for CS6 has had to be tempered as everyone else gets to play with their toys…

They haven’t released the drivers yet for CS6. (Getting frustrating…)
-
Are you seeing something I am not? I see they put a link in for the CS6 Drivers, but then it only says “coming soon” and the download link is not active.

No one outside of AJA knows. They say “soon.” It’s a bummer they didn’t (couldn’t?) make them available for the launch of CS6.

I can comment on a few of your points:
5) Hold the Shift key and hit delete – it will remove the gap.
7) Hold Opt key and drag and it will create a duplicate clip
8) There is no defined sorting in the thumbnail view – you can drag clips around to reorganize, but you can only sort in list view. Changing this has been requested by a few people in the forums, so I bet it will eventually find its way into Pr. (Don’t hold your breath…)
11) This is another thing Pr doesn’t do as well as FCP. You can’t drag an effect from one clip to another. You first have to save the effect as a preset (You can right-click on the name of the effect in the Effect Controls panel and save as preset) and then it will be available in the Presets folder in the Effect tab. A few extra steps here. -
I just worked through this yesterday, because I have ProRes on my Mac, but didn’t see it as an option in Prelude’s presets. You have to open up Adobe Media Encoder and create a new user preset for ProRes, and then it will show up on the list for Quicktime presets within Prelude. Let me know if you need help figuring out how to make presets in Adobe Media Encoder.

Well, that is the beauty of Pr – you can customize all of the windows. You can place/dock your windows, pallets, timelines, etc anywhere you want by picking them up by the dotted lines and dropping them on other windows, make them into tabs, resize, or undock them and let them float. There are tutorials out there which show you exactly how to do it – just google customizing Premiere interface. And now with CS6 you can customize your transport buttons below the program and source monitors, or remove them completely for a very minimal look.
Hope your transition to Pr is smooth.

Yes, there is a way to see it like a filmstrip.
First, twirl down the video track to see the track options (keyframes, etc…)
Then, you can grab the track and make it taller if you want to get really big thumbnails.
Finally, there is a drop down menu next to “show keyframes” called “set display style.” Click and set to “Show Frames.”I’ve never used FCPX so I’m not sure what you are looking for with the audio.
I am a FCP switcher too – good luck exploring Premiere!

That’s really great news. Thanks for testing.

As much love as I have for AJA, I think they messed up on this. Of course there are probably a lot of reasons behind the delay and it’s easy for me to make the demands, but from a user experience, having them release their drivers when CS6 became available seemed like a no-brainer customer service goal…
I’m sure it will be soon, though.
