[Banks Meador] “I still haven’t figured out how to move a clip up or down on from track to track using the keyboard. Used to do that in FCP with the option key and the up/down arrows.
Any way to do that? “
Not currently. Create a feature request to let us know that you want that: https://www.adobe.com/go/wish

You can duplicate a clip by holding down the Option key and then dragging the clip to a new location. Hope that helps.

That’s correct, and it’s new in CS6. If you want more than one track displayed, you can make a feature request: https://www.adobe.com/go/wish
More info here: View timecode in the Timecode panel.

You can see the Source TC in the Source Monitor with a quick matchframe. Gang the monitors to have both running at the same time. Enable that in the panel menu.
If that doesn’t float your boat, make a feature request: https://www.adobe.com/go/wish

I loved M100! M100 and After Effects to be precise. 😉
If it doesn’t work out for ya’ll in the next few weeks, I’m quite happy with a PC tower on my left, and a MacBook Pro on my right. I don’t do any of my email, blogging, photos, or music on the PC. That’s for the Mac. Good for lightweight editing stuff too.
If there is any heavy lifting to do, (say, ray-traced 3D compositions in AE, or editing RED footage natively), you do need serious power. A system might include a solid state boot drive, a dozen or more CPUs, a GPU of 2GB or more, 32-64 GB RAM, multiple slots, etc.
When you’re editing or compositing, I don’t miss Mac OS too much. When you’re working in the Adobe apps, there is no difference in the UI at all. Oh, warning, the fonts in the menus are different!
Still, I’m all for it should Apple be releasing a new “tower” that rivals that HP machine Tim was talking about.

[Jon Hiseman] “point me in the direction of the tutorial that allows me to grade 8 different parts of a clip with a minimum of key stokes and keyframe them over time without resorting to the dreaded round trip. I’ve done it in AE but its really hard work.”
How in the world did you grade 8 areas of a clip in FCP, and with few shortcuts?
•Garbage mattes? Premiere Pro has that.
•Secondaries? Premiere Pro has that.Tell me your FCP method, and then I’ll tell you if the same one exists in Premiere Pro.
[Jon Hiseman] “So, delighted with the Clip duplicate, I immediately tried to duplicate a transition to another clip in the same way – not possible. I don’t think I should have to put a request in for this. Somebody is just not joining up the dots.”
Whatever the reason, you do need to make a feature request: https://www.adobe.com/go/wish
Option+dragging a clip, and Option+dragging a transition are two separate functions, and two separate engineering tasks.
It could’ve gotten left out for any number of reasons:
•There was not enough time to implement the feature.
•The new feature broke an existing feature with no obvious fix.
•It isn’t possible to implement something precisely as it worked in another application.
•Feature requests were not specific enough.
•…and more engineering “gotchas” than you can throw a stick at.Things will get much better. I apologize for any problems you may have in your workflow. Keep up the posts. We appreciate the feedback.

How will you be screening this? Projecting it? If so, how? Playing from a tape? Playing from a computer? We need a bit more info. Thanks!

[Jon Hiseman] “duplicate the clip above the original / sandwich a gradient in between, change the blend mode of the top clip and regrade it. The gradient had simple controls to isolate a portion of the clip. The killer part was that these could be stacked. I have had 15 of these sets of 3 tracks stacked in no time at all.”
Hi John,
Forgive me if I’m missing something, but you can use travel matte effects, gradients, and blend modes in Premiere Pro very easily.Unlike FCP, blend modes run in real time. In FCP, you always had to render anything with the blending mode changed.
Let us know exactly what you would like to see in a future version of Premiere Pro here: https://www.adobe.com/go/wish
