On the plus side CC lets you rename a nested sequence and have that actually be reflected on a sequence containing a renamed nest

It’s the little things that make a difference

You may have solved already, but you could keep it in Premiere, assuming your shots are locked off, and make a few layers of the same video, blur fore, middle and background to your liking, and use track mattes to combine it all. Come to think of it I am going to try this myself.

Let us know how you solved this.

Quicktime is installed. 8gigs ram.
ProRes files which are not corrupt import just fine and play back, but stability is in question. Granted it is a non-Mac laptop

If you read the whole thread, the best comment is from Walt Biscardi, who points out that you can’t make a blanket judgement of software based upon one person’s experience. Everyone has a slightly different experience, given codecs, formats, output requirements, sequence settings and so on.

I use Premiere on Windows where an intermediate codec is generally not available as it is on Mac (sure you can use DNXHd or whatever, but ProRes is integrated with Mac). But we often make a master full res mp4 file, and then use that to make our other deliverables. When you render out of the sequence you are asking Media encoder to do a lot all in one step, it takes longer to try different settings and is prone to frustration.

I just started using CC on a Dell with these specs. It works pretty well with multiple XDCAM streams running off or a Lacie rugged USB3 drive.

I’m using Premiere CC on windows, and what I have found is if you scrub using the mouse and drag within the time part of the sequence header (the part with the little tick marks) the audio that plays is not teh audio you would expect – I am not sure where it is coming from.
But if you move the mouse cursor down so that you have the double arrow that hugs the current time indicator, you get the correct audio.
Using JKL I get the correct audio

it seems to be more than applying transitions

You used to be able to ctrl+K to razor all active tracks. Now it only affects all active tracks if no single clip is selected. If a clip is selected, it only cuts that clip even if more tracks are selected. This change increases the amount of mouse clicking.

Is there any way to bring back CS6 functionality to the sequence? Adobe? Bueller? Anyone?!

[Mike Cohen]

this extra precision (what happens to a particular track rather than loosey goosey days of CS6) seems to be an attempt to make Premiere act like Avid.

In watching people use Avid, you cannot apply an effect or many other functions unless the V1 indicator is moved to the target track. Seems like it adds more clicking. For example, if I have say 6 tracks and I want everything to dissolve at the same point, where before this would be one press of ctrl+D now it will be 6 presses.

This Avid-ification of Premiere is perhaps an effort to convert Hollywood and broadcast Avid editors to Adobe without forcing them to learn a new workflow. Instead current Adobe users will need to adapt.

Maybe Walt or Tim could chime in and explain if this is actually the case

I too have this problem, and so far it does not appear there is a solution.
In CS6 you could zoom in on the sequence, and the audio waveform would provide for resolution, but in CC you just get an unusable mess of waveform all mushed together. Surely this was an oversight.

Making the track height taller fixes the issue, but editing on a laptop, for example, you only have so much height available.Editing on a 36″ monitor, no problem, but it will be difficult to take such a large monitor on the plane!

Might as well add my transition question to this thread.

In CS6, if I positioned the play head at the end of a clip, and hit ctrl+D to apply the default transition, which for me is cross dissolve, it would apply that on all active tracks.

With CC it only applies the transition on the targeted track, regardless of how many tracks are selected.

I have been using CC for 2 week2, but previous versions of Premiere since the beginning of time.

Thanks
