[Oliver Peters] “This seems to be to answer the desire to have some lightweight editing capability on set.”
Thanks Oliver,
Two questions:
Not being able to transcode media within the PP application is not missing something? Wouldn’t you want that capability? Or is it just a workflow thing. Log and transcode with Prelude and then start editing with PP. But then extra bits and pieces come in and pickups and stuff and back to prelude for logging and transcoding? Sounds a hassle but perhaps it’ so seamless it isn’t?
FCPX kind of ticks the on set box as well don’t you think?

[Dennis Radeke] “I would say that if you need a transcode workflow, that’s exactly one of the uses that Prelude is designed for. Imagine a whole program for “Log and Transfer” and throw on “keyword tagging” as well.
“If Premiere doesn’t need transcoded footage why the option in Prelude to do so please?
Or does it run that teency bit smoother with everything in Pro Res (for example)?
And just a reminder to anyone reading this (because these threads do become hard to follow). This sub thread was me asking the question of Dennis (taking an opportunity seeing as he was in the room so to speak) and not Dennis jumping in and pitching Adobe. (I’m sure everyone knows his manners are too good for that anyway)
Best

[Aindreas Gallagher] “It’ll take anything – david lawrence coined the phrase years ago: it’s the honey badger. You can also set it up to do ProRes passthrough encodes like FCP7 would – if that’s to your taste.
“I’m sure I read somewhere some years ago that it was the Mercury Playback engine that made Apple throw on the towel with Legacy.

[Dennis Radeke] “Native File Format Support – Not transcoding media and being able to edit immediately is a huge time saver and one of the biggest things that moves/moved broadcasters and large media companies away from Avid and FCP7.
“Hello Dennis
Can I ask for clarification on this seeing as you are here please?
With PP you don’t need to transcode media Full Stop (or Period).
You put whatever it is in the timeline and don’t give it a second thought? Just cut and then export to whatever you like?

[Steve Connor] “[Neil Goodman] “My fav PPRO workflow enhancer is the ability to pancake timelines. Cant do that in FCPX and thats one place where PPRO excels above the others. Its doable in Avid in a different form but adobes implementation is dope.
“”Seconded. It’s a pain in the back of the trousers having to tab backwards and forwards through timelines and not be able to have two open at the same time.
-
Out of interest does PP not care at all what codec you put in the Timeline or does it perform better if stuff is transcoded to Pro Res?
-
Not being able to tab between timelines or pancake is a big loss I feel.

[Eric Santiago] “I do have a massive feature on Premiere and will test that soon.
“when you say “massive”??
Just curious.
-
I was gonna say the same thing. For that kind of work I’d be in Motion.

[Scott Parker] ” I find a “select all forward/backward” command really useful but maybe that will come later.”
That was the tool I thought I missed most but once I got my head round the fact that with a Magnetic timeline you really don’t need it. Or I don’t any more. I do use gaps a lot when i nee to push stuff one way or another down the timeline.
