I understand. Yes, it takes an extra keystroke, but the same result is possible. But sure, I totally agree – it gets to preferences and which tool fits your own personal style best.

OK, I see. Thanks.

That was my point about 3-point editing. In your example, the timeline in-point would automatically be determined based on the duration between in and out on the source. Or the duration of the source clip if you didn’t mark an in and an out.

You can achieve the same in Premiere, but it does require two keystrokes. Mark clip, then press “o” for out. However, if I only wanted to remove that portion of the clip (from out to beginning of the clip), then there are separate “top” and “tail” edit commands, same as in X.

“I know how Pr works, I just want it to default to the next edit like X. That’s how I cut”

I’m confused. That is how Premiere works. When you do an overwrite edit, the timeline playhead is at the end of the edit that you just made. Am I missing something?

Edit – Or do you mean you want the focus to stay with the timeline panel after an edit is made? If so, there’s a pref setting for that.

Correct. Your client must have been on a single application subscription. I think with Premiere you also get Media Encoder, but nothing else. Once you get past 3 apps, it makes more sense to subscribe to the full Creative Cloud subscription. When you do that, you get over 20 apps, plus mobile apps.

Tony – Thanks. Premiere works on standard 3-point editing, like FCP7. There is a pref setting for behavior when 4 points are picked. In that case the source and the timeline in-out duration won’t match. In Premiere you can select whether to stretch-to-fit or ignore either source or timeline outpoints. Plus you do have to manage target tracks. What takes a bit of getting used to, compared to Media Composer, for instance, is that Premiere bases targets on the source side.

Fusion makes more sense to people who prefer node compositing, which is the norm for traditional VFX compositors (Smoke, Flame, Nuke, etc). Motion makes more sense to people coming from a tracks/layers tool, like Photoshop, After Effects, Boris RED, etc.

But, speaking of Motion… Do you wish it was better integrated with FCPX or used some form of “send to” or dynamic linking function?

Tim – Simply three editors who use multiple NLEs discussing the pros and cons. Plus why someone might chose one or the other depending on the circumstances.

Now what would the fun be in that? But my general thoughts these days are that I use all four as needed, but love and hate them all!

I believe Resolve can, but you have to do it through the Fusion page. It’s not a regular Media page import function or in Clip Attributes. I just glanced at the instructions. There’s an import function as part of the Loader node in Fusion. That has pulldown removal, but I don’t know about PA. I didn’t dig too deep because I haven’t spent much time with Fusion.

[Oliver Peters]

Any chance that the free version of Resolve can remove the pulldown?
