Feature request: improve audio (track) fx workflow

Hey, this might have been suggested before but I just keep running into these limitations on an almost daily basis so thought I'd just add my request.
First of all, I really like having the option to have FX on an audio track (as opposed to on a per-clip basis). But it misses some basic workflow functionality.
1. We should be able to drag and drop FX between the slots, so we can change the order of processing.
2. we should be able to copy and paste effects between tracks and sequences. Very often I'll be making something like 5 variations on a spot and dialed in some compression on a voice-over in one sequence. But there's no way to copy these settings to the other 4 sequences (except to copy the entire sequence and then copy and paste back the correct video from the other sequences ... not ideal)
3. We need the ability to save and recall user presets for the audio FX and whole FX chains so we can re-use these throughout sequences and projects.
Hopefully the next update could add some of this much needed functionality and make Premiere Pro even better! (it's come a long way recently )

I'm just writing to say that you're not alone.  I put in these feature requests a second time about ten minutes after I noticed they were missing from CS6.
The audio is getting so good in Pr, there's almost no need to go to Au or another DAW for mixing.  But, they need to fix a few things, like the suggestions you and I made.
There are some bugs that need fixing as well.  I've never gotten the noise reducer to work (I'm on Mac.), and some of the GUIs in CC are messed up for third-party VST plug-ins that work fine in CS6.
Dragging the order of FX would be great.  So, would, option-dragging or copy/paste to make copies from one track to another.
And, the absence of having an ability to save audio presets is a major oversight.  When I (often) start a new sequence whose settings differ from the original, I have to manually apply the same track effects, and then note settings manually from the first instance and apply the settings to the second instance in the new Sequence.  Very time consuming.
Here's my list of feature requests from 4-25-12:

You'll see that a lot of them have been implemented.

  • Nokia 5310 Alarm Feature Request/Improvement

    Hi,
    I started using the Alarm with my Nokia recently. As alarm tone i selected a song. Unfortunatly the alarm switches itself off after 1 min? Can this be changed. It quite annoying if you sleep deep and cant hear the alarm or want to keep listening to the song while waking up.
    It would be nice to have the alarm keep running. Or even make it play a playlist.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Not doable, the phone will just repeat the alert tone when snoozed.

  • Feature Request:  Modify Audio Channels from the Timeline in Premiere CC.1

    Why have we never been able to modify audio channels once a clip is added to a sequence?  I'm guessing there's a good reason Adobe has never had this feature.  The lack of this feature is explicitly mentioned a few times in the audio section of the Premiere Pro CC manual, as if it's a benefit NOT to have it.  But the benefit is entirely lost on me. 
    In my workflow, I synchronize my double-system video and audio before anything else.  I do this in PluralEyes (and unfortunately I'll have to keep doing it this way, until PPr's sync on sound feature gets fixed—for me it's never worked).
    Once PluralEyes has synched hours of footage and audio and placed it on a PLURALEYES GENERATED sequence, I import that sequence into Premiere.  Note:  Since I haven't gone through the step of creating a blank New Sequence, I don't get the opportunity to setup my audio channels the way I'd like in my sequence (i.e. Stereo recordings should occupy ONE track, not two.  Typically these tracks come from a camcorder and are used for reference sound, or ambient noise at best, so I don't need them taking up precious real estate in my sequence). 
    Since PluralEyes doesn't merge my clips for me (or rather I don't want it to since I'm usually doing multi-cam sequences where I want to keep all 14, or so, tracks of audio), I have to go through the clips one by one and do a Merge Clip action once I've adjusted any minor sync issues, or determined which tracks I actually want to keep.  But, and here's the key, at this stage I'm not yet 100% certain whether I'll use the nat sound or the wireless mic sound (separate audio recorder, etc).  Furthermore, I don't really want to think about that at this point.  After I've spent a few mind-numbing hours just ingesting files, sync and merges, I want to jump into the edit as soon as possible, before I lose all will to finish this edit.  If I modify my audio channels right now, I'll lose the ability to make some creative decisions later on.
    I'd like to start whacking out an assembly edit.  And then after I have a rough program, I can start looking at which audio tracks (nat or double-system) I like better in each circumstance.  This is where I become stumped that at this stage, I'm locked into whatever audio channels I've setup (or not) in the earliest stage of the edit, back before any media was actually on the timeline!  It's at this stage, and usually only at this stage that I want to start Modifying Channels—FROM THE TIMELINE!
    Does anyone else feel the same?  If not, what is your workflow?
    Feature Summary:  Right-click on any clip, (master clip, sub-clip, merged, nested or otherwise) in the timeline and choose Modify > Audio Channels.
    I've submitted a feature request, with a link back to this discussion, so please pipe in—especially if you want this feature. 

    Maybe its your specific workflow, asset mangement  and use of a 3rd party application that  runs you into an issue.
    Take Pluraleyes out of the equation, I would imagine my workflow is the same as most everyone else.  Find footage in the Media Browser.  Import it.  Create a Sequence and start editing.  Use the Source Monitor to set Ins and Outs and then Insert the clip on the timeline. 
    At this point, if the audio needs to be modified, it cannot be done on the Timeline.  The workaround, of course, is to Find Clip in Project; Modify Audio in the Project panel; then do a Matchframe to replace the audio clip.  This works, but requires many steps per clip.  Also, Matchframe in Premiere Pro CC is not reliable. 
    Introducing a new Modify Audio (from Timeline) feature as seen in the fantasy screenshot above would solve it.
    I dont use Pluraleyse ...which I understand to be a synching aid...so I dont know the workflow it imposes on one .
    Returning to Pluraleyes workflow, this issue is compounded by the need to Modify almost ALL audio.  Every stereo track is separated and placed on two MONO tracks taking up precious real estate.  This is not something Pluraleyes imposes.  It is due to the way Premiere imports XML timelines.  This would apply to sequences imported from Final Cut as well.
    In this case it would be ideal to select both the LEFT and RIGHT mono tracks and choose "Modify > Audio Channels > Merge L/R Mono to a Single Stereo track."  Ideal?  No.  I guess Ideal would be if Premiere would interpret XML files properly in the first place.
    What actually is the issue with Premieres synch and merge workflow in your case?
    Audio Sync in Premiere Pro doesn't work.  Period.

  • Feature request: improved interface for 'synchronize' option

    Hi,
    sometimes I right-click a package and select 'synchronize with database'. There's one thing that jdeveloper wants to synchronize all the time, but I don't want it to (something I need later, so I don't want to synchronize that particular thing yet).
    Currently, you can only 'synchronize all' or individually perform all synchronization tasks. I would like a 'synchronize all but ... ' feature. Or, in other words, maybe a set of checkboxes so you can select what to synchronize and what not? The 'synchronize all' button ould then just check all boxes, and there could be a 'none' button as well, and an 'invert selection' button.
    The 'ok' button would then perform the synchronization, and there should be a 'cancel' button.
    (Currently, the naming of the 'ok' button is inconsistent. 'ok' implies that it will perform an action after clicking it. It should actually have been called 'close' since it merely closes the dialog)
    Greetings,

  • Feature Request: Improve Gradients & Brush

    Hello,
    I love the Graddient tool in LR 4...but it would be SO much better if:
    We could control the shape - at least include radial.
    We could erase parts of it - for example on cityscpaes I like to enhance the sky but need to erase the buildings that are being impacted.
    We could name the pins - on both gradients and brushes.
    Does anyone else think this would be useful?
    Thank you for your consideration,
    Katrin

    I would agree with all 3 points Katrin. Naming of the pins is not too high on my list but I can see how it could be helpful especially if you have many pins.
    I would add one more thing.  Reversing the order of the adjustment on a gradient.  Right now if you drag down from the top of the images and adjust with say exposure it will be darker from the top of the image toward the bottom. Sometimes I want an opposite effect whereby adjusting the exposure produces a lighter to darker effect so my middle of the image is darker.  I hope I am explaining this clearly!
    So if I want my sky to be lighter and middle area to be darker I'd drag a gradient downward from the top of the image.  Then adjust exposure.  Right now if I do that the top portion where the gradient starts will get darker and gradually get lighter as the gradient ends.  A little reverse button would be cool.

  • Adobe Prelude CC Feature Requests

    I've submitted these feature requests to Adobe—BIG timesaving workflow enhancements.  If you agree, please submit your own request for any of these features:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IljmmB0yDXY

    Thanks, Steven.  Yes, I meant to share that link so others could also submit their feature requests. 
    Also, I agree, many may never need Prelude.  It's gotta be a tough battle for Adobe when introducing a new tool, such as Prelude.  I almost ignored it as well, until a project came up that required me to organize a lot of "prosumer" AVCHD footage—footage from multiple days and cameras.  AVCHD, like P2, has an extensive folder structure which doesn't lend itself to quickly copying and pasting one 3 clips here and 7 clips there into different locations.  I found Prelude to be pretty basic, but almost perfect for the task at hand (minus the few complaints I showed in the video).

  • Feature Request: Ability to import multiple audio tracks

    Hello, I'm having a problem with Premiere Pro CC 2014.2. Unfortunately it lacks an important feature that I require if I'm to transition from Sony Vegas Pro. I much prefer Premiere, but I'm stuck using Vegas due to Premiere's inability to import all the audio tracks in my video files. I've seen a few other people around the internet complaining of the same problem and they also feel that it's rather silly for such a major editing software to lack this feature.
    Here is an example video file. If you open it in Premiere Pro you'll not be able to hear my microphone, although it's there in Windows Media Player and Sony Vegas.

    I've read on several video editing forums that this is just how Premiere is and you simply can't load the audio channel. Also the video file was made in Bandicam. I've also tried Dxtory and had the same problem.
    Edit:
    Looked at the media properties for the video and saw this:
    Audio track 1:
    Size is 42.74M bytes
    Rate is 48000 samples/sec
    Sample size is 16 bits
    Audio track 2:
    Size is 0 bytes
    Rate is 48000 samples/sec
    Sample size is 16 bits
    I know for a fact that there's audio data in that track.

  • Feature Request: Please allow us to merge audio with image sequence in AME.

    So far the only programs that allow this (that I'm aware of anyway) are the old version of QuickTime Pro, and Apple's Compressor. I simply want to add an image sequence to AME, and combine an audio track to that image sequence for export. This would save me an extra step. 80% of my work begins and ends in After Effects. I do very little video editing, so most of my exports are rendered from AE and then exported from Quicktime or Compressor to whatever file my clients request (Most often ProRes for a master version, and h264 or x264 Quicktime files for the web).
    Is it possible we might see this feature added anytime soon? Thanks!

    This is a good feature request and should be submitted here: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
    The team reviews all the requests that come in through that form. It is a guaranteed way to get your request seen while we do not always see everything that gets posted to the forums.

  • Feature Request: Point-Markers to Overlay Range-Markers (& compound markers-track)

    Problem:
    In Premiere CS6, both Prelude and Premiere, range markers (those with duration greater than zero) obscure any point markers (those with duration=0, the default).   This is demonstrated at http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-premiere-pro-cs6/improved-markers-and-importing-from-prelu de/ , at around 04:42.  This obscuration discourages use of range-markers.
    Solution (feature-request):
    Please could you reverse that situation, so that point markers instead overlay range markers.  In fact, more generally, shorter-duration markers should overlay longer-duration markers.  The idea is that the longer-duration markers would serve as useful background to the shorter-duration ones, and also of course this would reduce loss of information display.
    How it would be useful in practice:
    For example, when editing a presentation, it is useful to initially mark ranges covering periods such as Establishing, Main Talk, Question&Answer Session, Finale & Applause.  Then on top of that to add shorter-duration markers for particular elements to be used or avoided.  Then on top of that, add markers for point-events such as "camera jolt".
    Better still (feature-request):
    Ideally, markers should be considered as a special compound kind of track, a metadata track (after all, markers do get stored as metadata).  This (compound) track could then be viewed either in collapsed mode (where it would look like a single track, hopefully with the overlay priorities as described bove) or in expanded mode (revealing some number of separate lanes, defined by user, of markers).  Such lanes could be given meaning by the user e.g. Info, Vital-use, Nice-use-if-possible, Avoid, Ancillary (Clapperboard, Grey-Card, Color Charts etc.).  Colors could be defined for each lane, to make them intuitive to people, at a glance.
    Many thanks,
      David

    Until things change, you might give subclips a go.  They're returned to proper functioning in CC7 where you see only the subclip range in the Source Monitor, but are free to extend or add transitions in the sequence.

  • CS5 feature request - audio import?

    Does anyone else think a feature request to add an "ask" option for PREFERENCES-AUDIO-DEFAULT TRACK FORMAT would be a great idea?
    I'm constantly having to switch between stereo and mono etc when importing different types of files from different camera types etc. A pain.
    Paul.

    Paul,
    Not sure exactly what you are looking to do here. One can set up a default Sequence layout, and that will be what is initially shown, with New Sequence.
    My default is 2 Mono, 4 Stereo and a DD 5.1 SS Master. If I know that I will have a Sequence with more SFX Mono Tracks, I just bump that count up, when doing New Sequence. Same of Stereo, if I know that I will have, say more Music Tracks.
    Are you saying that you'd like "floating channel-counts" for Tracks, so that they could be either Mono, or Stereo? If so, I do not see that happening.
    If you are asking for maybe a Click+drag on Audio Tracks to rearrange them, like many DAW programs, that would be different. Though I use the PrPro method of Create/Delete Tracks, to get the order/arrangement that I need, the Click+drag is not a bad idea, and many have filed that Feature Request, including myself, though I am comfortable with the current method, and can easily live with it.
    Can you clarify a bit more?
    Thanks and good luck,
    Hunt

  • Premiere pro: multiple audio tracks in a single take. (Workflow for audio mixing outside premiere)

    Hi I am an editor from Finland.
    I need to sync multiple audio tracks (like 2 stereo and 4 mono) to different takes before i start to edit. You see, after the editing I will create an OMF file for the sound editor who needs all the audio tracks to work with. I have noticed however by just nesting (puttin video and audio clips in a single sequence) the resulting sequence placed on in the main sequence is flattened into stereo (not multichannel). You see my problem here? I am surprised, because i have always taught that this is a very normal workflow and so far i haven't found a single tutorial or a guide for this problem.
    Just to make sure we're on the same page: I know how to sync video and audio, just not so that the 6different audio tracks in all my 120 different takes that i edit into a single sequence will have the 6different audio tracks in the audio post production (which is done in protools, maybe...)
    Oh yeah, Premiere Pro CS5

    Hi!
    This is the case when i get a master clip with all the audio tracks in it. I however got separate files, a bunch of different video files (with stereo track), for every take a boom mic audio track, and a few tracks for all the microphones on the actors. Now after i import these into premiere, how will i proceed so that after i have synced all the audioclips to all the video clips (by nesting?) I will still have all the audio clips intact in the OMF file I will create.
    Last time i created omf, all the clips had turned into stereo because of nesting. Is the only way to avoid this by joining the video and audio clips into multichannel audio clips with another program before importing into premiere?
    I am not very good at explaining... Problem: I get a video and 10 audio tracks. I join them by putting them into a sequence. I repeat this about a hundred times (for every take). Now i start to edit. I create the main sequence in which i clip pieces from all the hundred takes. In the main sequence the clips have only one stereo track. When the movie is finished I create an OMF for the sound guy. The sound guy asks me why are there only 2 tracks per clip? Where are all the 10 separate audio tracks?

  • How to reset the feature that allows audio and video tracks to snap to other tracks on timeline

    I have somehow disabled the feature that allows you to drag and snap video and audio tracks on the timeline to other tracks or positions of import.  It is only one project that has been affected, and all I can think of is that while performing some other keyboard shortcut, I accidentally perfromed a shortcut that diabled this feature. 

    You mean, "Snap?" Press 'S' on the keyboard, or press the magnet button in the Timeline panel.

  • Feature request FCP-7...To view 2 tracks without using multicam ?

    Many of us work with 2 video tracks one above the other, sometimes I do not want to set up multicam to see both tracks simultaniously but how difficult can it be when looking at 2 video tracks would it be to allow us to view the footage underneeth track 2. Workarround is tedious, lowering oppacity of T2 or making box wipes in the motion tabs etc, this is fine till you are editing HD. So there it is...a way to view 2 tracks simultaniously without invoking multicam.

    a way to view 2 tracks simultaneously without invoking multicam
    For now, the Playhead Synchronisation mode Gang will get you halfway there ...
    Place the playhead where you want to see both clips and then double click the lower (hidden) clip, Then choose View menu *> Playhead Sync > Gang*
    Now, as you move the playhead in the canvas/timeline the image in the Viewer will be updated to show the equivalent frame from the ganged clip.
    ... but this only works at a clip level and not at a track level. If you are working with multiple short clips then consider nesting the track and then ganging to the nest.
    (Note to Apple Developers: It ought to be easy to extend the Gang to work at a track level ie add a Gang Track mode, by exactly the method above whereby the track could be treated as a virtual nested clip)
    Another way to quickly view the clips on a lower track is just to toggle clip or track visibility of the upper clip/track. Ctrl B is the shortcut for toggling a clips visibility. If toggling track visibility beware losing all your renders ... use Ctrl Z (undo) to toggle the tracks visibility back on as this will also bring back any lost render links.
    As to a formal implementation of a new feature to view all tracks given the existing GUI, heres what I'd be thinking:
    Similar to the common DAW function of stacking takes and auditioning them (STP can do it) I would imagine that being able to stack video clips and then view them all simultaneously (without having to set them up as a Multclip) ought to be a worthwile feature.
    I'd see it working using a simple toggle key to open and close a QuickTake window or some such which would display all the clips at the playhead position similar to a MultiClip view. Similar to the Multiclip functionality, in the QuickTake window, clicking on the clip you want, or using a keyboard shortcut to switch, would make the chosen clip the active one (setting the Clip Enable/Disable Status accordingly for clips). Clips on tracks not targeted by Auto Select would not be referenced and/or affected by this mode.
    Personally, in the For What It's Worth category, I think EDIUS's implementation of the Multicam workflow is amongst the best I've seen. You stack your clips on the timeline and then switch to Multicam mode (F5) ... no convoluted setup process, just instant Multicam functionality with whatever is on the timeline. Another key press to toggle it back to the normal edit mode.
