FEATURE REQUEST - looping record of selected region (ADR)

I need Audition to have a better, more professional workflow for ADR and Foley. It can either be a looping "record" with preroll and postroll or a pop-up tool that accepts regions, in to out timecode, or markers to control what section of the video track it shows during recording. It would also be nice if the preroll had the standard 3 1k beeps plus a silent "4th beep" at picture start. Anyone else have other workflows or additional thoughts?

I "second"' this request. I've been struggling to find a way to ADR some dialog for spots. You'd think no-one ever heard of this professional feature set. johnm has outlined the feature request nicely. Is there a plug-in available for this?

Feature Request: Cover Flow for Selecting Desktop Picture

Cover Flow is a great way to scan through a set of images within a defined visual real estate. It would be perfect for the Desktop System Preferences, where we users have had to suffer forever with squinting at 72x51pixel images (at 1440x900 resolution) of our desktops. It's nearly impossible at this thumbnail size to tell what image one is looking at, and selecting to view it in the preview at 128x73 pixels is only marginally better. And of course, there's no way I know of to expand the System Preferences window to expand this whole scanario. It's the year 2009 guys; please give us your great Cover Flow to help us choose our Desktop Pictures in a reasonable way.

Hi Scott,
I know this isn't the best place, but Apple doesn't make easily apparent where to submit such requests, and I know its staff do occasionally visit these boards.
As to the appropriateness of the expectation, I have to disagree. I make my living in user interface and usability, and Apple has clearly set the expectation in the user's mind that System Preferences is the primary method for setting all sorts of Finder behaviors, including screensavers and desktop pictures. I see no reason for the user to either accept a substandard main method of setting this preference or have to learn a secondary one simply to avoid the main method.
As to the System Preference not lending itself to Cover Flow, there may be some underlying technology of which I'm unaware, but interface-wise, it seems to fit right into the Preference screen:

Can`t post replies in photoshop feature requests section

the reason is probably obvious but not to me,
I cannot post a reply to anyones comments or thread in the photoshop feature requests, it usually reads "reply" to be able to comment on anothers comment,
but only reads "report abuse" in the photoshop features request thread.
when I select "new"and search for the photoshop features request thread, its greyed out so you cannot select it,
what am I getting wrong here,
I am logged in by the way.
cheers.

They created a new feedback site. The feature request site is read only now.
Read the text above the discussions sections. There you will find the link to the new site.

Feature request: remember selected attribute in wizard

Hi,
I often find myself doing this:
- In the entity object wizard, select the 'attributes' tab
- Click on an attribute
- Select the 'Attribute settings' tab
First feature request: It would be nice if the attribute settings tab would now show the properties of the attribute I last selected on the other tab, instead of the first attribute.
Second feature request: It would be nice if you could open the attribute settings of an attribute directly from the attributes tab. (perhaps via a right-click -> properties contextmenu).
Greetings,
Ivo

Filed bug#2564815 to track request number 1.
If we implement that, then I don't think you'll also need request #2. It will be just one click away
by changing the panel.

Create a contact in Hotmail? Gets copied to Gmail.. and then linked, terrible implementation in my opinion)

In Playbook we can have a single character password, why not on BB10? "too short" well it is my decision, isn't it?
There is no way to go next/previous while reading an e-mail. Please add these functions.
Add to the e-mail client, Next Unread / Previous Unread.
E-mail or Hub should have more buttons at the bottom in landscape mode. Why keep only three (or four in e-mail view) buttons when you have the real estate. It would be extremely handy if you allowed users to edit which buttons should go at the bottom. Next Previous is really needed while reading an e-mail. For example I would love to add "File" button at the bottom as a shortcut instead of forward, I rarely forward, but I file all the time. Maybe allow users to have two row of keys, add next/previous/unread. Or it could be done with a gesture. How about swiping the account name (top blue bar while reading e-mail) left and right?
When you create a new contact in BlackBerry, it gets synced to all accounts on the Hub. There is no way to limit the new contact to a specific account.
Sometimes when you file an e-mail to a folder, it stops and waits few seconds with no message. Even when it files immediately, there is a confirmation message that takes time to appear and disappear, and the folder list does not disappear automatically.
Messages filed automatically by server using server side filter rules are still showing up on Blackberry hub/inbox. In older BB versions the filtered messages did not show up in the list, filed messages still did.
When you filter your e-mails using Filter / Unread function, new unread e-mails do not show up until you close the filter and re-open. It won't just keep refreshing your screen with unread e-mails. Can BB add a button to the hub "Unread Hub" so when hub shows 8 or 2, you can actually see unread items easily without having to through so many taps.
Native BB QR scanner (Smart Tags) does not work with barcodes (it only scans with no way to use the information). There is Open In function but it doesn't work properly.
We need to add more customs search providers, and be able to add custom search strings/wildcards. For example currently there is Google, Bing, Yahoo, Foursquare, etc..
I hope BB introduces the ability include more standard & custom searches, IMDB, PriceGrabber, Ebay, Youtube, XYZ Forums, ABC Newspaper, 123 Database, Etc.. Most sites nowadays provide search string in their URL Search=?* etc...
None of the Battery apps can access system settings to add a battery icon to the top. I wish battery percentage was there.
There is no way to check carrier/mobile signal strength.
Blackberry, please add the date and carrier / SSID info to the top. Sometimes we just want to glance at the top to see the date without having to swipe.
Please bring back keyboard shortcuts. Since we can easily swipe up to bring the keyboard, just add keyboard shortcuts in e-mail, phone (true speed dialing, dialing by word?), and browser, etc.. if possible. I could always call 1800SOMETHING# now I have to look up the number or use dial pad.. Please bring it back.
Camera zoom function needs to be fixed, also please include option of fixed focus by tapping on the screen to focus. The auto focus in video is focusing in and out to various objects all the time. Stabilization feature also causes tearing/ripples, I guess it is good if you are stationary. Or use Volume Keys to Zoom.
Please allow more than 12 icons in an icon group/folder, I hated Apple for limiting apps per folder, please fix it.
Auto ON/OFF feature is not there anymore. BB should consider Auto DND (DoNotDisturb) or Auto Silent/Airplane modes instead.
Please find a way to stop the music app from automatically starting up every time it connects to bluetooth like car audio. This is very annoying.
No Panaroma mode in Camera app, why not? It is very easy to incorporate. This could be a nice addition to next release, and easy.
The text selection grips needs to be a little bigger, sometimes I cannot see where I am moving them, they work better in Playbook, nice big tabs.
Call Functions, before answering a phone add sideways gesture functions, like swiping right will forward the call, swiping left will answer with a test message, etc..
Or there should be a way to reject the call without sending it to voice mail, phones had this function a decade ago, I don't know what happened to it.
We used to be able to see the "History" without having to save the contact. Now I don't see any way to "View History" of a certain phone number, it just keeps adding
them as individual entries to the log. Now I can't see when was the last time they called me, how many times we spoke which day, etc... I loved this feature in BB5.
Where is BB Traffic? Where is BB Weather, without having to run an active frame? It will eventually disappear if you run too many apps. I liked a little Icon that shows me what the temp is, instead of running a whole app.
There is no Skype. This day and age with all other platforms having it, please either get skype (Microsoft) to cooperate, or open up BBM to other platforms. If necessary, pay Skype to develop the app, then charge BB users for the app. Most will gladly pay.
Can we tap and hold on an active frame to pin it, or can we pin two favorite apps between Call and Search & Search and Camera buttons in the bottom bar? How about Close All running Active Frames app to quickly free up ram?
I hope next generation devices have two speakers or speaker that is facing forward. When playing games or watching videos in landscape mode, I find my palm muting the speaker. I have to hold it gently with fingers to have a gap in between, something I don't want to do when I am on the subway or bus.
Blackberry Maps should have a Zoom In/Zoom Out buttons, sometimes using it with one hand, it is impossible to zoom in and out. (Zoom in is OK but we can't zoom back out)

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.

Logic Feature Request

Hi Apple / Logic Crew - Should you deceide to let X-Mass come early this year - here are a couple of wishes:
1) When hitting Record : Automatically deselect any selected regions....
(moving a region down one track then hitting record for a new take - and then wanting to delete that new take one hits OK when prompted if one wanna delete - and whoops - there goes that perfect old take gotten moved down and not deselected.....) You could also make it impossible to delete audio files from the arrange window (One does it in the audio window by selecting unused anyway) that woul also make that ever reocurring "DO U REALLY WANNA DELETE" message void...
2) PLEASE - let those millions of warnings be optional - I hate having to click ok to this and that all the time - At least give those who dont want them the option to turn off all those messages........
3) Integrate that PROGRESS recording bar somewhere else than having it pop up all over the place - when using Logic I feel like its the forth of July with all those pop up things going on:-)
4) Disk Allocation for Individual tracks
5) I cant accentuate this one enough : Sample Edit @ Arrange Level

Perhaps you could make the automatically appearing loop tool in arrange be user selectable in prefs. Crossfade is more useful for me, as I have loop on a key command "L" and that is easy enough. It's easier than turning loops on by accident when I'm trying to adjust region lengths.
Also, some kind of red warning light (maybe in the transport?) when one is deleting or adjusting regions that are selected off-screen, but please don't make it a pop-up message.

LabVIEW feature request: tunnel array concatenation

I am requesting a LabVIEW feature that would be very convenient. The following situation is very common: I have a source of information, say an array of numbers, in a for-loop. When the for-loop has finished, I normally end up with a 2D-array (because of the index operation at the tunnel). Now, in many cases I would instead like to concatenate the arrays inside the loop, so that I end up with a 1D-array of numbers after the loop.
It is easy to remedy the problem: use shift registers or feedback nodes together with the 'concatenate arrays' VI. An easier approach, from a programmer's point of view, would be to right-click on the loop tunnel and select an option that, instead of adding the data from each iteration into a new array dimension, would concatenate the arrays. The tunnel could have the + symbol instead of [].
I wish I could find a more convincing argument for this feature than just convenience. But the reason for this request is just because of convenience. I find myself using the feedback nodes and the 'concatenate array' VI again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again... and I always need to create empty array constants for the initial value. It feels really unnecessary.
I think this feature would make LabVIEW an even more convenient programming environment.
I am using LabVIEW 7.1.

Patrick

I agree this option would be great to have built in automatically. It might also be nice to allow auto-indixing of 2d (or more) arrays going into for loops where it will iterate through all dimensions an grab the (i,j) single elements and add an i and j index inside the loop, instead of nesting loops inside of each other. I guess these features cater to the power users who want to save any amount of coding possible.

Cross-post: Multiple feature requests

Thanks to Jeff Schewe for pointing out the error of my ways in posting in the wrong thread. :)
Sorry for the cross-post, but didn't want these suggestions to be missed.
Hi everyone,
Well, I've been using LR 1.1 for a couple of weeks now, and overall, I love it.
Having said that, I think LR has room for improvement, especially when compared to something like Lightcraft's LightZone.
# In particular: 'Default' settings for Identity Plates - At the moment, I have to re-edit the IP every time I create a new catalog
- In fact, why can't I create Catalog 'templates'? This would be nice for collections, defaults, etc depending on the job I'm doing
# 'Localized' edits - Lightzone has a cool 'Regions' feature that allows me to selectively apply adjustments to a given region (in fact, so does Capture NX)
- These regions are specific to the tool (i.e. layer), but I think there is probably a more elegant solution to this
- In particular, LZ is S-L-O-W compared to LR ... this is probably because they wrote it in Java. On my 2Gb 1.7Ghz, it runs like a DOG, but LR zips along very nicely
- In particular, a variation on Nikon's uPoint technology (since they patented it and all, I don't imagine Adobe will 'pony up' for a license) - very nice
# Command-line support / scripting - Why can't I start LR from a script or set defaults, etc using LUA?
# Edit a LAYERED photoshop document - Why doesn't LR let me edit in photoshop with the original image underneath the LR adjusted one?
- This makes it impossible to use the LR black & white tools (say) and 'hand colour' the image without significant workflow interruption
# File / directory naming - Why can't I use replacement tags to name my directories?
- Why can't I create an individual SESSION-BASED Import number (i.e. to record each card for a given job)?
- This needs to be much more flexible than it is already
That's about it, I think (at this stage, I guess - give me a few more weeks with it). All of these things would really help to make the workflow much more seamless and efficient, IMMHO.
With all that said, the speed and efficiency of editing with LR is lovely. I'm very happy with the breadth and depth of the tool, I just hope that 2.0 takes into account all of the above.
Oh, one more thing:
# Why do the stacking options not work in collections?! - It took me AGES to figure this out, and it's so non-intuitive
K, so ONE more thing ...
Wouldn't it be nice if we could select multiple images in a stack and export them to a LAYERED PSD as individual layers?
Imagine the possibilities of blending various develop presets selectively with masks ...
Right now, there's no easy way to do this. :(
Cheers,
Matthew

Localised or targeted editing along with some kind of 3rd party plug-in structure is pretty much the holy-grail next step for Lr in my eyes.
If it can be successfully implemented then I'd waste less time nipping back and forth between Lr and other apps. And I REALLY would like Lr to become my one-stop photography work-flow solution.
I'd also be very keen to see some commercially developed pre-sets for the web and slide modules. I'm hopeless at that sort of development, but would happily pay for some high quality solutions.
Lastly - in the print module I'd find it very helpful if I could drag and drop photos to any grid cells I have set up. once there, dragging them around to rearrange them would also be a very nice addition.
I'll add my voice to the praise - V1.1 is a very elegant way of working for me and I really enjoy the interface. Lastly, Lr hasn't crashed on me since the 1.1 upgrade.
Nice.
Anndra.

Feature Request: Right-Click Zoom (like in Audition)

You can hold down the right mouse button down, select an area, and release to zoom to that region in Audition.
Can we please have this feature in Premiere Pro CC? It would be a huge timesaver, and it won't add any bulk to the interface (in terms of height or width of components).
Imagine zooming into the exact section of the timeline you want with one click & drag of the mouse! It works so well in Audition, I really think it's time to bring it over to Premiere (and After Effects would be cool too, but I'd have to request it there, probably). Navigating the timeline is one of the timesinks of editing. This feature could drastically speed that process up.
Does anyone else want this as much as I do?

Honestly, I feel like feature requests get ignored, unless they have more than one person's support behind them.
Not sure about that. We get Features that no one ever mentioned, discussed or asked for.
Its called 'Feature Creep' and I think there is one from last update being discussed in a Forum near you... right now.

Feature Request | Allow custom metadata per table/column to be stored

Someone please correct me if there's already a feature that allows this...
I'd like to see a feature where you can define a set of metadata that can be stored per table / column, and perhaps a trigger that updates that metadata.
As a use case, it is sometimes necessary to find out how many records exist in a table, and the typical way of doing this is by running a statement like select count(*) from example_table;. With a large table, this statement might take a long time though, and certainly has overhead associated with it. If this is something that's done on a regular basis, like maybe even once every minute, wouldn't it be much better to store this number as metadata for the table that can be updated on inserts and deletes and then can be queried? It might involve extra overhead on an insert or delete statement to add to or subtract from this number, but then for some applications the benefit of getting the count quickly might outweigh the extra overhead.
Another use case is finding a minimum or maximum out of a table. Say you store a date and you need to find the max value for some feature in your application; with a large table, and especially if its a date with accuracy to the millisecond where an index wouldn't help much because most values are unique, it can take quite a bit of time and overhead to find that max value. If you could define for that column that you'd like to store the max value in metadata, and could query it, it would be very quick to get the info. The added overhead in this scenario would be on insert, update or especially on delete, the value would have to be updated. But in some applications, if you don't expect alot of deletes or updates on this column, it might be worth the added overhead to be able to quickly find the max value for this column.
I know you could probably make a separate table to store such info, and write triggers to keep it up to date, but why not have a built in feature in Oracle that manages it all for you? When you create a table, you could define with the column definition something like 'METADATA MAX' and it will store the max value of that column in metadata for you, etc.
I know that the overhead of this feature wouldn't be good for most circumstances, but there certainly are those cases where it would be hugely beneficial and the overhead wouldn't matter so much.
Any thoughts?
Can this be submitted as a feature request? Am I asking in the right place?
(p.s. while you're at it, make a feature to mimic IDENTITY columns from SQL Server!)

I don't think what you mentioned is exactly what I was talking about. There's no min_value or max_value in the dba_tab_columns table; there's only high_value and low_value, and they are stored in binary. And I believe to be accurate in the use cases that I suggested, you would have to analyze the table after every insert/update/delete. So no, that's not the same feature I've asked for, although I appreciate the feedback.
Also, the num_rows in dba_tables relies on the table being analyzed too, so for a table that stores temporary date to be processed where you want to know the size of the queue every few seconds, it wouldn't make sense to analyze the whole table every few seconds when all you want is a count of the records, and it's also inefficient to use the COUNT function with every query when it would be much faster to store the count in some metadata form that is updated with every insert or delete (adding to a count and subtracting from a count with each insert/delete is WAY faster than analyzing the table and letting it literally recount the entire table every time).
So again, while I appreciate the feedback, I don't think what you mentioned addresses either of the use cases I gave. I'm talking about a different kind of user defined metadata that could be stored per table/column with rules to govern how it is updated. Not you standard metadata that requires an analyze and isn't real time. I also only gave a few use cases, but the feature I'm really looking for is the ability for users to define many different types of custom metadata even maybe based on their own logic.
Again, this feature could be implemented right now by creating a USERMETADATA table for every standard table you have, and then using triggers to populate the info you want at the table level and column level, but why do that when it could be built in?
Also, I don't really agree that having to create a trigger/sequence for every table instead of setting a column as IDENTITY is better. It's cumbersome. Why not build these commonly used features in? It can create a trigger/sequence behind the scenes for all I care, but why not at least let someone mark a column as IDENTITY (or use whatever other term you want) at the time of table creation and let it do everything for them. But that's off-topic; I meant it for more of a side comment, but should really have a separate post about it.

Nokia 808 Pureview feature request for Phone and C...

Hi,
Where would be the best venue to make feature requests for the 808 functions? These are some nice-to-have ideas that I would like to propose, which would increase its awesomeness:
- in video mode, add a "lock exposure" setting so that the 808 doesn't continuously adjust exposure after recording starts. this would be equivalent to setting the exposure to manual on a regular videocam.
- in photo creative mode, add a voice-activated self-timer, where it would take a shot when sound reaches a certain threshold. this is similar to what the Shout 'n Snap app does for the android.
- in phone calls, add an option to use proximity sensing, so that when you take the phone away from your ear, the handset automatically switches to speaker phone, or vice versa. this would be equivalent to the Phone Speakers Switcher on the N900.
Thanks

i'd like to make an addendum to my request and change it to "lock exposure and white balance".
i just found that while shooting, it does not keep the white balance setting throughout. for example, select "tungsten" and the video will start with this, but later it adjusts as if it was under "auto" white balance setting for the rest of the video.

Loop recording

When I do a loop recording in a software track (drums) only the new recorded notes are played and displayed.So when I add notes they replace the original notes.According to the manuals and help files you should be able to just add notes to an excisting recording.Does anyone know how it can be that the original notes dissapear every time I add a few notes?Thanks for any advise.

As Scott said, once you put it in record mode it will add notes on subsequent looped passes. Do not stop recording until you have added all you want in that section. Once you press Play or Stop, it will no longer add notes, but will record over any notes pre-existing in the location. A workaround would be to create an additional track using the same instrument. You can merge the contents of the two (or more) tracks by selecting the regions and choosing "Join" from the "Edit" menu. Note that it will combine them into the bottom track of the ones you have selected.
Hope this helps,

Loop recording and warning tones ?

Hi all,
I am using flash encoder 3.1 from my truck as I travel around the UK http://www.truckcam.tv
and have a few questions for things I can't find in the software. I would like to be able to loop record
as I stream ? This will help me if I have a crash in my truck to have it on file. The 2nd thing I would
like it a way to have a audible alarm when it is trying to get connection, this would let me know
I have lost my 3G connection as while driving my truck I cant watch the screen all the time..

This feature has been sort of removed in Logic 8, now it will record takes compiling all your passes into a folder which you can then unpack to new tracks. You can also record in "replace" mode which will stack all regions onto one track and mute them. After that you use the command track->new for overlapping regions and the stacked regions will be placed on one track each.

Feature Request: Audition

How about making the wave form view on the same screen as the multi track view. This, so you can select and drag events or regions from the waveform view window directly into a track on multi-track. Sony Vegas has had this for years with their "trimmer" on the same screen as the multi track. I've never understood the split personality of the multi track view-waveform view. I've been working with digital audio since the SAW pro days. Make it an option - for those who are accustomed to the status quo. I still prefer using Vegas for building radio spots for that reason. Thanks

Honestly, I feel like feature requests get ignored, unless they have more than one person's support behind them.
