Premiere CC gives you the option to set the up/down arrows to go to the next or previous clip in the timeline just like FCP (regardless of what tracks are selected). So yes, it’s fixed in CC but it’s not the default.

Thanks kevin- already made the request twice. Once for cs6 and for cc.
Paul answered the problem regarding adding multiple effects- something I didn’t know PP could do!
-
Paul- you are the man! Although it seems funny that one can’t just grab the folder with stacked effects and drag it over to a clip.
Thanks for the tip though. This will make me sleep better at night.

4 projects in (coming from FCP7) I cannot make Premiere CC crash- even if I try. This on a MacPro.
To my astonishment it even plays back some of my Motion projects in realtime right in the timeline.
Audio Clip Mixer is great except the last key frame doesn’t stay where you left the fader. It snaps back to the point where you first touched the fader- this is plain old dumb.
True- no transcoding if you don’t want to but snappiness lags and then you have super long transcodes at the end if you want edited masters (and who doesn’t ?). But that’s what Media Encoder is for and it works well in the background.
For God’s sake you can finally adjust the volume of a clip in the source window so you don’t get blown out of the edit chair on playback.
Bad: You still have to select the tracks in the timeline before you do the “add edit” command. This is also just dumb. You should be able to just lasso the clips in the timeline and then add edit.
Very BAD: I haven’t figured out a way to select a group or batch of commonly used effects and then drop them onto a clip. Even if you’ve created a preset folder you can’t just grab the folder and drop it on the clip. You have to shift click each one and then drag and drop. Stupid.
Bottom line for me is that FCPX is not an option until GenArts brings Sapphire to the table.

Pretty much mind-blowing with 3.33 MacPro 6 core and Quadro 4000. Most things play real time at half res and even full res for the first couple of seconds. Mind blowing.

Got a response back from tech support…
They are aware of the bug and are working on the next update.

Since we’re talkin’ Quadro’s and 5770/5780’s I wonder if it’s possible to run both my Quadro 4000 and the ATI 5770 at the same time and use one for Motion work and the other for Premier work?
I have no idea if these apps can select the card to use in preferences and also wonder if this would fry the power supply…

Well my 2007 8 Core just croaked so I was forced to buy a new one.
Went with 6 core 3.33 and added the Quadro 4000 (from BH).
Quadro 4000 has no problems with FCP 7, or Lion but I will say that it is positively pitiful with Motion. Had to put the stock 5770 ATI back in just to do my titles in FCP!
That said the 4000 rocks with Premier CS6.

I just finished my first paid project with P6.
Black Magic Intensity is a dog as well with CS6
1. Audio is flakey – especially scrubbing. Sometimes you have to play a few seconds and let it grab the audio before trying to find the in point of an audio cue point.
2. 5 frames latency which is just maddening!
3. Sometime you press play and the first few frames are not in sync, then it reorganizes itself skipping a few frames and syncs up with audio but 10 percent of the time it actually doesn’t sync up.
It has to be said that this is the first driver for P6. I remember the same issues with FCP when Intensity first arrived. It shortly became EXTREMELY rock solid.
I have other issues with P6 which will force me to go back to FCP 7 but this first experiment with Adobe Transmit and Black Magic certainly didn’t help!

I just finished my first project in 6 and had a similar experience but with p2 media (avc intra). Some shots had artifacts that looked exactly like tape drop outs. Only a few shots had it but what is interesting is that the thumbnails in the timeline had it bad – even though the shots were fine.
