Had high hopes, has wanted to move from the FCP, but is still insufficient on the main features

We had hoped to spend all our edit places (20-50) of FCP to Premiere Pro, because the PCF was abandoned as a pro platform.

We had high hopes for CS6, but from what I can tell, still missing some key features, making it unusable for us.

Maybe someone (Adobe employee?) can correct me, but it seems that:

  1. There is no 'reveal in bin/project"of the command for a clip in the Source monitor
  2. You cannot display multiple time codes at a time, in the TC, either as overlay window. I need to see the TC of all video and audio tracks at once. (Infolog shows, but takes too much place; not practical).
  3. There is no way to see the Waveform Audio & video at the same time, synchronization, in the Source monitor (or in a separate window)
  4. There is no shortcut to 'Jump ahead 1 second' - only 5 frames; useless for me.
  5. the 'match frame' command will only program source, not the other way around.
  6. There is no shortcut to change the alignment of the Transition («start on edit», "ending on"edit","edit-centric")
  7. There is no shortcut to "Dip to Black", just "Dip to white" (!) Really?
  8. There is no shortcut to change the duration of the transition; We must go in the effect controls panel.
  9. I can not understand how to perform simple toppings from the keyboard, without entering the window Trim... How to choose a cut and simply roll back / just 1 frame?
  10. Bug? If I toggle audio scrubbing, it doesn't 'take' until I hit 'play' or move timeline with mouse - functions "skip 5 frames" are unaware of the toggle.
  11. There is no way to "page" through the timeline (like PageUp/PageDown in FCP)
  12. Fast forward/backward is limited to about 5 x the normal speed... too slow for us. Need to at least 10-20 x (FCP is 30 x I think)

We absolutely need these features to do our work in a timely; they exist in Avid and FCP for at least 10 years. I am amazed.

Perhaps CS7...? It will probably go to Avid...

I really, really love CS6. It's super fast, and integration with After Effects is fantastic... but there must be basic editing without using the mouse at all times!

There are solutions if you are interested

  • There is no 'reveal in bin/project"of the command for a clip in the Source monitor

    I can hardly believe that you have used that often. In Premiere Pro, you can overlay the clip in the sequence open with '. ', select the command to "Reveal in project" clip and overlay use, or assign a hotkey, mine is Ctrl + Alt +'

  • You cannot display multiple time codes at a time, in the TC, either as overlay window. I need to see the TC of all video and audio tracks at once. (Infolog shows, but takes too much place; not practical).

    Info palette is a must. Buy a bigger screen. Send a feature request: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

  • There is no way to see the Waveform Audio & video at the same time, synchronization, in the Source monitor (or in a separate window)

    No, but you can assign keyboard shortcuts for display modes. You can also send a feature request.

  • There is no shortcut to 'Jump ahead 1 second' - only 5 frames; useless for me.

You can create a simple macro script with AutoIt/AutoHotkey and jump forward/back by sending keystrokes like "Send NumPad numpad1 NumPad0 NumPad0 NumPadEnter"

  • the 'match frame' command will only program source, not the other way around.

You can create a marker - it won't be visible in the timeline panel

  • There is no shortcut to change the alignment of the Transition («start on edit», "ending on"edit","edit-centric")

Drag ' fall is even faster, but you need to use a mouse or buy Logitech DiNovo http://www.logitech.com/ru-ru/keyboards/keyboard/devices/192 start

  • There is no shortcut to "Dip to Black", just "Dip to white" (!) Really?

You can set "Dip to Black" as a default Transition and use a different shortcut to dissolve - "apply video Transition Crossfade" then you'll have shortcuts for both.

  • There is no shortcut to change the duration of the transition; We must go in the effect controls panel.

You can use the mouse or a touch pad on a keyboard DiNovo and look in the Info Panel, but it is faster to use the effect controls panel to set the exact time. Another way to do it only with the keyboard, is to put "Video Transition default duration" before adding a balance, but it is acceptable for the news transitions.

  • I can not understand how to perform simple toppings from the keyboard, without entering the window Trim... How to choose a cut and simply roll back / just 1 frame?

Read the tutorials to watch, it's easy http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/premiere-pro/using/trimming-clips1.html#id_12239

  • There is no way to "page" through the timeline (like PageUp/PageDown in FCP)

There are indeed: keyboard shortcuts > panels > timeline > Show Previous screen or simply a filter for screen

  • Fast forward/backward is limited to about 5 x the normal speed... too slow for us. Need to at least 10-20 x (FCP is 30 x I think)

Only with the mouse to scrub. You can use an AutoHotkey script to do this with the keyboard. I use it all the time: http://www.autohotkey.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1159&hilit=NumpadMouse&start=75

In the past, I've tried FCP, it was a nightmare. First in some parts of my work, I work standing up using only the keyboard.
