You will need to upgrade to Premiere Pro 1.5, then download the 1.5.1 upgrade free from the web…HDV is supported in v1.5.1.

[pixel8ted] “The plexi/glass idea sounds Interesting,But why would one do that and not use say white paper?”
I was thinking that the camera is below the glass looking up…toward the source of the drip. When the drip hits, it would fall right at the lense and look as if it struck the lense….that sort of thing.

[Lloyd Coleman] “It appears that After Effect is not holding up the show. There have been several pretty credible leaks about AE7. Check this link out
https://www.highend2d.com/news/software/43.html
If AE is ready, we can only hope the whole collection is close behind.”
Software can be demo’d to that extent with all sorts of issues…beta demos are structured to work around those things…I’ve done it before myself. I’m not saying what is or isn’t, but I don’t think I’d use that demo as a prime indicator…

[Ron Shook] “I’m no more a coder than you are, but I made that possibly presumptuous statement based on what an expert NLE coder told me several years ago. That sort of thing often doesn’t get done because it’s not a glamorous new feature unlikely to find its way into a “what’s new and exciting” list and because it’s no fun, coding grunt work.”
I can see making each function *available* to be assigned a shortcut key…that would seem like that should be easy I guess…I was thinking about the shortcuts in the default map that would have to be displaced and thinking that it could end up being a nightmare to make exactly the choice you describe…what is important enough to need a key shorcut?
…we can’t even decide what the most important missing feature is in this thread… 🙂

[Ron Shook] “You can’t do that sort of thing unless all of the operations to make it happen are available from the keyboard, whether they are normally used that way or not, and making them available is not coding rocket science, and is not going to screw something else up. It’s a matter of will and understanding the potential facility and necessity.”
Do you have an Edit* keymap? It sounds like there are an awful lot of functions not represented in the current PPro keymap…
But as I look at the keymap for PPro…there aren’t any keys left on the keyboard and many of the keyboard shortcuts are three key combinations…it seems to me there are even some four key combos…not that I bother learning those as I find them less productive than a one-click mouse action…
So I guess what sort of science it is and what else it potentially messes up might still be unknown. Not that I think anyone should stop asking for things…but I’m an editor, not a coder and I can tell Adobe what is *important* to me…but I think for me to tell them what is *easy* would be pretty presumptuous…

[robertbec] “would pp2 have multicam built in
or do i just buy the plugin”Unfortunately, as mentioned earlier, those who know can’t say. Adobe announces their own products, and I guess that’s as it should be…
…sorry.

[david cherniack] “Who could disagree with this sentiment? But the point is that there ARE a large number of inefficient work flows in Premiere Pro. That’s just poor design, not different design . :)”
…and who could disagree with that sentiment? There are things that I would like changed as well.

Steven Gotz has been kind enough to host a typestyle library and a couple of other little things I threw together for PPro…
You may like them or not…either way they’ll be worth what you paid for ’em.

[David Cherniack] “Although I’m sure you don’t mean it (because you seem like an intelligent guy :), it could be inferred that you mean all workflows are equal – in the eye of the beholder, so to speak. Well, for someone who insists on an inefficient workflow (A/B editing for example) I say let them have it! Just give me the option to work efficiently.”
I mean all workflows’ efficiency is in the thought process of the operator. I’m intrinsicly an artist, I draw and nearly became an illustrator back in the day…
Keyboard shortcuts are great, but I think in terms of what I can see.A/B editing had its definite drawbacks, but it was very visual and easy to teach. A newbie could understand what media was there and therefore understand how it’s involved in the transition. I use the inline method now and I like it, but the idea of the “invisible trim” for people who are getting into the field is tough…that was the principle reason why I liked it. I can use almost anything to edit…Vegas, Edius, Media Studio Pro, Media 100…but I like what I like and I’m fastest with what I like.
I had a producer from out of town come in who needed some fast post work done as their Avid Symphony suite was scheduled tight I guess. At one point, I remember the producer mentioning how surprised he was at the speed of PPro…I mentioned that I knew my way around in it fairly well and the interface works largely the way I think…and that was probably what he saw…but to this day he insists for the way he likes to work, PPro was much faster.
So what’s efficient? If a function can be executed faster but unintuitively (eye of the beholder again) with a key, is it faster…ultimately?
If there is one thing I learned when I got involved in training and software projects, it’s that my personal mindset doesn’t have a monopoly on the best workflow for every situation and every user…
…and nobody else does either. 🙂

[david cherniack] “I sure hope that the design team leaders can sit down with an experienced edit* user and get enlightenment :)”
…and for those of us who may not cozy up to the way edit* worked?
…also…illustrating my point once again…for every top priority, there is someone who thinks that can wait because there are three others…
This thread may continue until PPro v3 is out…
