This is another amazingly useful and well designed tool from Andreas.

No-one understands subtitling better than he does.

I highly recommend this latest offering to anyone who needs to work with subtitles in Premiere Pro.

[greg janza] “My years as an Avid editor have trained my fingers to expect certain actions from keyboard commands and so I’m usually disappointed when other NLE’s can’t be customized to operate in the same fashion.”

Fair enough. But then by the same token a Premiere editor could justifiably be irritated that Media Composer automatically sets an inpoint on Match Frame.

I’m not sure it’s fair to suggest that one default operation is more correct or desirable than an other in this case.

And hitting two key instead of one is hardly any sort of hardship when we are regularly employing keyboard modifiers to achieve particular functions.

But that said, I am slightly inclined, as you are, to prefer the Media Composer default 😉

[Michael McCune] “But also helpful may be information on the “logic” level, say, how boolean syntax and algebra work and show how it is applied to masks and mattes.”

I am actually planning a basic introduction to channels and channel booleans as soon as I get the time to finalise it.

I think you’re right that many users new to Fusion could benefit from some very simple explanations of the basic concepts. Most Fusion tutorials tend to presuppose a lot of technical knowledge and are aimed more at VFX professionals than at the casual user. Fusion is at last starting to attract a lot of users who are not necessarily deeply immersed in VFX and who are probably less familiar with the concepts that help you get the best out of the application.

[greg janza] “(btw, this is my top complaint so if anyone knows a setting that would allow for automatic in point marking when match framing I’d be very appreciative.)”

Why not just hit F and I simultaneously? That would be “automatic” …

As I mentioned, you can delete a gap (as if it were a clip) – you don’t need to be messing around with adjustment layers.

Opt/Delete is the shortcut for Ripple Delete.

Make sure Sync Lock is enabled on all your tracks. Select the gap and use Opt/Delete to close the gaps keeping everything in sync.

[Michael McCune] “Is this a recognized problem (“the beta blues” perhaps) or does this seem to be specific to my setup???”

I have had no problems at all with saving new compositions in Fusion 9.

Maybe try trashing com.blackmagic-design.fusion.plist in ~/Library/Preferences.

[Michael Gissing] “Clever software.”

Very, very clever software with an incredible range of translation options, but even more amazing support from Michael Rooney.

Since I posted my comment a few hours ago, he has already run me a test that confirms this is going to be a perfect solution for one of our biggest workflow headaches.

Thanks again.

[Shawn Miller] “AFAIK, the Studio version requires a dongle to operate”

That is correct.
