[Jeremy Garchow] ” I’m willing to deal with a bit of slowness in exchange for overall workflow gains”
I know. I don’t even acknowledge the UI “slowness” because I know overall I am working faster. And have more creative tools easily at hand. Then again, Pr CC2015 has come a long way for the better since CS6.
Maybe we should ask Murch? 😉
While we are on the topic of speed, I posted this on the Premiere Basics forum with no responses. Maybe someone here would know:
“Please note I don’t use Premiere very often, only when required to, so I am no expert.
I have a late 2013 MacPro, 3.5 ghz 6-core Xeon E5, 32 gig ram, AMD FirePro g-card
A while back, I commented on a weird visual “echo” I was seeing when using PrP CS6. Basically if I scrub around in the source viewer and let go, the playhead mimics my movements before settling to the spot I am currently parked. Same thing happens in program viewer. If I scrub in the timeline however, that acts normal, but I get the “visual echo” in the program monitor. Very odd.
Some folks advised me to upgrade to CC as that might solve the issue, and it hasn’t. Is this a computer setup issue? A bug? Feature? Not a show-stopper but rather annoying.”

[Steve Connor] “I’ve already sent that as a feature request to Apple”
I do like the fact that in Premiere, you can simply grab a dissolve and move it where it works best at the transition point. Pssst. Hey Apple, take a look at that.
On the other hand, there’s the Premiere title tool…gak.
Nothing is perfect.

[Oliver Peters] “It all boils down to your personal style of working, the cutting demands the project imposes, and how the NLE fits into that workflow.”
Exactly. For us freelancers, it also may depend on what a post house may have to use.
I am working on Premiere today and I surprised myself in finding some things I really like over X. On the other hand, there are some things in Premiere that just kill the good feelings. Nothing’s perfect.
To each their own and it’s best to know as many as you have to to keep working!

[Aindreas Gallagher] “It’s la la land software. You’re all at the mad hatter’s party.”
Damn. I guess I need to give back that big fat check my client just cut for the gig I did all on FCPX. Darn.

Why do we care what he edits on or thinks about other NLE’s?
Just asking, because it makes not a bit of difference to me and my work.

Did you get this to work without stopping playback?

Might be. I am working on a pretty tricked out MacPro. Good luck!

In the section about “how I accidentally found a shortcut” user guide.
While messing around with some of the footage I was logging, I accidentally hit cmnd-6 for a keyword (instead of cntrl-6, which would not have worked anyway since the timeline was active and a clip was highlighted) and it popped a CC effect on the selected clip in the timeline and opened the color board. Never knew that worked that way. Of course you can’t add secondaries using the same method, but it’s a nice quick way to get to the color board.
Ya learn something new every day.

No, as long as you have the browser active (cmd-1) and use keyboard shortcuts for keywords, it keeps playing.
