No replies – I’m guessing that means the answer is ‘no you can’t do that.’
Not a big deal – best backup then would be to keep lots of backup copies of the sequences (I do anyway), and make sure the source clips are well marked with markers.
Alrighty then.
I know i”m blowing up the board with these things but it’s always the little stuff that drives you nuts! -
Ok.
Is that also the best way to handle clips that are not getting time remapping? Just regular progressive clips in an interlaced timeline? -
Thank you Ann. Just to clarify, you are referring to the progressive clips in the interlaced timeline? I should go to the timeline they were created in (from matching a clip), nest them in that timeline, and drag the nested clip into the interlaced timeline?
Rather than pasting the clips directly in and applying a field effect? -
Thank you Dave.

Ha! MediaInfo.
Adobe says,”
Always Deinterlace
Converts interlaced fields into non-interlaced, progressive-scan, frames. This option is useful for clips you want to play in slow motion or in freeze frame. This option discards one field (retaining the dominant field specified for the project in the Fields setting in the New Sequence dialog box, General tab). Then it interpolates the missing lines based on the lines of the dominant field.”So I”m thinking for the motion clips, best to render out to Pro Res (they’re not very long) so as to avoid the compression, then choose “always deinterlace” in the field options, then apply the effect?
In a related question though, I’m still not clear how “always deinterlace” affects the progressive clips which were pasted into my interlaced timeline. Is this the best route for handling them? How best to handle them so they are not further degraded? You could “interlace consecutive frames,” but isn’t that already happening when they are added to the interlaced timeline?
I did see some interlacing lines on them on the DVD test that was made from this timeline. There are no field settings applied as of yet.
I wish Premiere had a field step so as to be able to see what’s going on instead of workarounds. How can they not have a field step? Grrr.

I was also able to map unlink (mapped it to option-L) in the keyboard shortcuts. Typing “unlink” brought up application>clip>unlink. Worked fine with the clip selected in the timeline.
Also, don’t know if there’s a way to keep the mouse from interacting with the timeline rather than locking it (maybe someone else knows). However as long as no clips were selected, the CTI moves fine in the space directly above the clip. Of course I only have two tracks going so it’s might be a bigger deal if there were lots of them.

Regarding transitions,here’s how I did it.
Works fine so far as long as the CTI is directly on the transition point.
For this, I mapped “go to next edit point” (under the “application” heading in kb commands) to Opt-page down (which is actually function-option-down arrow) on my macbook.(under “Sequence” heading in keyboard commands)
Apply video transition \
Apply audio transition Shift D
Apply default transitions to selection Cmd shift D -
Ok thank you!

Thank you Todd. I use that a lot too. It would be nice if they had a command that would zoom way in with one keystroke but maybe they don’t. Ok then I’ll make it work. =)
Drives me nuts that you have to zoom way in to the transition to select it and the cursor is constantly changing to a trim cursor, and you can’t select it. I think I remember reading that this got better in versions after CS6, not sure.
But a focus shortcut is all-around useful for everything.
