[Robin S. Kurz] “Aside from being a complete straw-grasping non sequitur?”

It’s only a non-sequitur to those that can’t see the connection.

[Robin S. Kurz] “Yeah, I’ve used it MANY times and it’s been brilliant. So? Anyone that thinks that’s nuts or laughable, clearly has never actually used it themselves”

I don’t know if it’s more nuts or laughable but I do no that any sound recordist showing up on a shoot with only his phone in his equipment kit would be sent home, quickly.

[Robin S. Kurz] ” Or they are just another pompous, self-proclaiming “pro” who is reduced to having to judge the quality of their work by the price tag on a box and random tech-specs. As a cheap distraction from a lack of actual content and ability.Amazingly sad actually.”

I don’t know if you keep with the horror show that is American politics but i must say that those final three words are hilariously Trumpian. Too bad this was not a tweet.

[Bill Davis] ” my experience is in danger of aging out. “

Taking audio recording as an example; experience with specific pieces of equipment is always aging out, experience in understanding mic placement ages out more slowly, experience evaluating the emotional connectedness of a reading never ages out.

[Bill Davis] “And about that cheap Rode mic?
Surprise, surprise, used property it actually turned out to work BETTER than those classic mics. All the off axis rejection, none of the sunk cost, and self noise that was essentially unmeasurable due to modern components – just like what you find in iPhone’s recordings.”

I’m not questioning your use of a Rode mic for VO, but it sounds like you are also saying the iPhone is just as good as the Rode. If that’s the case why are you bothering with the Rode at all?

[Bill Davis] “When a big LED array weighs 2 pounds and the hero monitor weighs 3, all those C-stands and the boxes of Mafer and Cardillini clamps are WAY too much for the jobs I need done today. I’ll keep one or two and sell a dozen off.
“

Flags and nets weigh as much as they ever have, Cameras that once ran on floor dolly’s are now running on Danna dolly’s, I’m sure you’ll get a good price on your C-stands and clamps.

[Bill Davis] “I suspect the iPhone will prove to be the Leica of this generation. Small and simple, accessible, and amazing. That it also has a working phone and a personal computer attached to it is mind boggling.”

So now you’re comparing a Leica lens to the 30 cent piece of crap in your iPhone. And your comparing your snap shots to professional photography. And previously a scratch track recording to professional VO. If all this is true then why would you ever use your Rode for VO work? It’s not the “grip truck full of equipment” that matters, it’s the quality of the tools. You pay the money so that you don’t “occasionally” get great results, you pay for equipment that will always give you great results, under any conditions. And you know that this is true Bill, everybody does, that’s why you don’t show up on your shoots with only your phone and a prayer.

[Robin S. Kurz] ” But if only one lav is involved, which is more often than not, then I use a MKE2 Digital with Apogee’s Metarecorder on an old iPhone with AirPods as monitors. Up to 96kHz, 24bit audio all iXML tagged, named, marked and subsequently exported with a FCPXML file for good measure and single click import and organization. “

But would you be just as happy to use the iphones’s built in mic for recording? With video you are stuck with the built in, cheap, POS lens of the iphone, which is why there is no equivalence between recording audio and video on a smartphone.

[Tero Ahlfors] “This is because Premiere (like pretty much every other NLE) uses inclusive out points so the frame you’re parked on is included.”

As an aside, this statement, while true, drives me crazy. The inclusive out point, while intuitive, is a major PITA. The exclusive out point, while totally non-intuitive, is mathematically sounder and infinitely more useful. It is not intuitive that the Earth revolves around the sun, but it is both true and useful information to know.

I wish it were merely a bug because that would be fixable. This is a design decision and I don’t think they have any interest in changing it

[Blaise Douros] “As far as I know, you can only use Multicam View in track 1.”

That is incorrect. Multicam works on the lowest enabled track. If you want it to work on track 2, make sure track 1 is disabled and track 2 is enabled.

By the way this is a terrible design. It requires constant switching of track status and makes it impossible to view continuous multicam if you use multiple tracks. The ideal situation is that the multicam viewer show whatever is on the highest enabled track in use. This is probably the worst flaw of the Ppro multicam paradigm.

You can save any filter, with whatever settings you choose, as a Preset.

Presets are also available for some transitions, but not that many, and unfortunately not for crossfades, either audio or video.

You can set crossfades, both audio and video, as your default transition and set your most commonly used timing in General Preferences in the Timeline tab.

I have requested that transitions have the same Preset abilities as filters, but so far Adobe, in their infinite wisdom, has turned a deaf ear. You are encouraged to add your voice to the chorus.
