No, you cannot change a default value here. In your case, you’d have to nudge 5 and then 1. not too difficult as there are already keyboard shortcuts for both, but I get where you’re coming from. Try this: Feature Request Form

Export with progressive?
Also, try right click on clip>field options>flicker removal and see if that helps. -
[Matthew Sonnenfeld] “Going on what Dennis said about editing in ProRes also, could you not ingest/convert in Prelude and then you could still use the “takes” that you want without converting the entire clip?”
yes, exactly. If you use Prelude as a ‘log and transfer’ type tool and are choosing transcoding as part of your ingest, you can do a partial ingest.

Moving your pointer to the end of the clip should allow you to change the duration. You can also right click and choose speed/duration to enter a precise value.

I think what you’re really saying is that we could do a better job of giving you options about when you convert your footage – that I can agree with. There are always areas where we can improve and we take customer input very seriously.

If you need to use ProRes for your conform, then I’d edit in that too. There are lots of easy ways to convert to ProRes and they all revolve around Adobe Media Encoder.
Use it to batch process your H.264 clips to ProRes. Assuming that you’re on Mac then download the AME presets for ProRes: AME ProRes Presets

Okay, good luck with the RAM.
Remember, your system is only as good as the weakest link and even the HDD can be an issue too.
As for Hover Scrub – check this out before you dismiss it because JKL are all in there: https://library.creativecow.net/harrington_richard/CS6_Hover-Scrub/1

I understand your frustration.
Changing from FCP to Premiere Pro does require a certain amount of understanding about what your’e gaining and giving up. FCP worked reasonably well with 4GB of RAM for two reasons: 1) Everything was ProRes – an intraframe codec designed for Apple 2) It could only use 4GB of RAM anyway, so more was superfluous.
Premiere Pro gives you the ability to save a lot of time by not transcoding. In return, as a 64-bit native app, it expects more RAM in order to do it’s job. Lets face it, generating blended frames from a LongGOP stream is computationally more intensive than 30 still pictures per second. I think at this point, investing in max’ing the RAM in your MBP would go a long way you making a final decision on whether Premiere Pro is right for you. Even if Premiere Pro doesn’t work out for you, the 16GB of RAM will be well used by any 64-bit applications in the long run.
Also, you still haven’t told me whether hover scrub could potentially meet your need.

[Mark Drosten] “I´m starting to give it up right about now. I´ve worked with Sony Vegas so far and didn´t have that kind of problems. Now I wanted to try out Adobe Premiere Pro and it can´t even get a simple .avi to work properly. I´ve imported the very same video file into Sony Vegas and it plays it perfectly – video and audio in sync, exactly how it should be.”
Well, an .AVI is a container and not a codec so saying a simple .avi is not necessarily so. An .avi could contain any number of codecs which could be the problem.
I’ve also thought of one other possibility about why you’re having the problem. If you launch Premiere Pro CS6 and then drag the clip into a timeline, do you see a little progress bar on the lower right hand side of Premiere Pro beneath the timeline? If so, then you should wait for that to finish and see if you still have the problems. Premiere Pro will conform the audio if it doesn’t understand the format or sample rate in order to make sure we have a sample accurate audio lock as well as giving us a map to generate an accurate waveform file. For a 2hr plus length clip, this might take several minutes to complete and could be the reason why you’re having these temporary sync issues. Then again, maybe not – but it’s worth a try.

[Mark Drosten] “@ Dennis Radeke: IS there a converter to convert the .avi into Panasonic P2? “
Adobe Media Encoder which comes with Premiere Pro. Launch it then choose file>Add. Then pick the format of P2 and then what preset you want. you can also create watch folders and encode Premiere Pro sequences and After Effects comps. It all works in teh background too.
Hope this helps,
Dennis
