Nope. Maybe in the next version of Premiere. We can only hope.

Make a Premiere project with all of these elements already in it – call it Template. When you need to start a new project just duplicate the Template project at the file level, rename it according to the new project name, and open it.

You can’t do that. I don’t think you can map the number pad at all, actually. You can map the rest of the keyboard without modifiers, though, or map the keyboard with the Shift modifier. You can’t map Option or Cmd modifiers like you can in FCP.

Just copy your entire Avid MediaFiles folder from the PC to the Mac. Put it on the root of your Mac media drives and open Avid.

If you copy a project over too it should automatically relink.

If you’re staring a new project and need to populate your bins with the media then drag the database file from your Avid MediaFiles folder into a bin and it will populate it with master clips. The database file is either msmMMOB.mdb or msmFMID.prm. I’m pretty sure it’s the msmMMOB file.

Make a custom Quicktime export.

Choose Quicktime Movie.
Video and Audio (if you want video and audio).
Under Video Format choose height and width 864×486 16:9 Square Pixel.
Display Aspect Ratio – 16:9 square pixel (864×486).

This should give you an SD, unsqueezed 16:9 video.

It does not use the source file. If you import as a lower resolution it will transcode the source file during the import and use that transcode for future operations.

That said, once you lock your edit you can batch import at full resolution and then export.

There’s something in your .aaf settings that is making it do that (probably consolidate media). You can check your .aaf settings and change that, or do this:

Make a new bin – call it AAF or something.
Copy your sequence to it.
Make an AAF from the copy.
Delete the AAF bin.

It’s pretty awesome, and incredibly powerful. Here’s the Adobe info on it:

You can use Photoshop’s data set feature and batch create them, then import the photoshop files and cut them into place.

[David Evans] “(A) Move the Playhead back to the beginning of the Timeline”

Home key.

[David Evans] “(B) Move a clip one frame at a time back/forward on the Timeline”

Option+Right Arrow, Option+Left Arrow. Shift+Option+Right Arrow and Shift+Option+Left Arrow moves it 5 frames at a time (at least on my system).

On a PC I assume it’s Alt+Right Arrow/Left Arrow and Shift+Alt+Right Arrow/Left Arrow.
