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.

[feature request] lock markers

i'm in a project where i have around 30 markers for each scene in the 30min show. I have found that as i'm moving around using the ":" and "'" keys (next/last marker)it remains selected so when i click a region and hit delete key, it also deletes the marker aaahhhhhh. please ad lock markers

There is only the option to lock it to the SMPTE position. But not a protection lock. So +1. If we don't get corrected by someone here that there is a hidden lock feature or why it is not implemented we could put in a request by going here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/logicpro.html

Premiere Pro CC Feature Request: add multiple Markers at defined times

I'm about to post a feature request and wanted to check to see if anyone else was interested, as I've read that forum support can help to get feature requests added - and also just in case this feature already exists, and I've missed it in my Googling...!
Here's the request:
Brief title for your desired feature:
Option to add multiple Markers to a timeline at defined times
How would you like the feature to work?
It would be great to have an option in the Markers drop-down menu or to be able to right-click on the Marker icon in the timeline and be able to choose "Add Multiple Markers at xxx minutes/seconds/frames".
Why is this feature important to you?
I often end up creating a lot of montages, and it would be great to be able to use this feature to drop a Marker (for example) every three seconds in my timeline so that I can then add a bundle of clips using Automate to Sequence. At the moment, I do this by clicking on the Playhead Position hot text and typing in 00:03, 00:06, 00:09, etc, and dropping a Marker at each point, and this feature would speed things up a bit. I've also been asked by students if this feature is available as well.
If anyone else would be interested in this request, please let me know...!
Thanks

Yes, that's true, when using my method described above, Prem adds each clip from the first frame and cuts it off when it reaches the next Marker, then I use the Slip tool to get them to the bit I like. I'd just like to remove the step of typing the time into the Playhead Position counter by dropping Markers at set intervals or by choosing to use the first xx seconds in the Automate to Sequence dialogue. Either way, the request is in now, but it doesn't look like it'll gain a lot of traction...!
Cheers for the responses, Jim.

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?

I find the Magnet for Snap quite visible. There is also this feature in the Pref to make the playhead snap.

Posting Feature Requests for others to Copy/Paste

I recently posted a Feature Request I sent to Adobe for another member to copy/paste as his own FR since he liked the suggestion (see the FR below).
After doing so, I got the idea that we could all do this: copy/paste FRs we send to Adobe into threads on this forum to help each other support the idea with similar requests, or even copy/paste the FR as our own. With limited resources and time, there's only so many requests Adobe can implement in every new version. That why it's so important that new features the Premiere Pro team invests their hard work and time on be the tools that would benefit the greatest number of editors. The more people back up certain ideas, the more likely they'll be implemented sooner than later.
There's power in numbers, so how about using this forum to share our best ideas and make it easier for others to add their voice of support? It's great that Adobe provides us with a way to send them feedback, but it's too bad that it's a one-way conversation with very little, if any, dialogue back and forth between the submitter and Adobe. That's why I thought it would be great to bring more of that potential dialogue here, where we can share ideas and support the creation of an ever better Premiere Pro!
If you've never posted a FR or BR (Bug Report) before, you can easily join the effort to make Premiere Pro become all that it can be, here: www.adobe.com/go/wish

Here's the FR I pasted in another thread, as an example.

Brief title for your desired feature: Drag&Drop Modified clips into Project Window
How would you like the feature to work?
Ability to Drag&Drop clips with effects, motion settings, keyframes and/or markers back into the Project Window from the Timeline for later use.
Why is this feature important to you?
The Project Window is far better than Sequences for storing/organizing modified clips for future use, since it is:
Searchable
Sortable
Viewable in Icon and List views
Full of helpful metadata columns such as 'Video/Audio Usage'
Foolproof in that the original sequence can be deleted without losing any created subclips
Given these advantages, why only allow us to store modified clips in Sequences? Please fix this by allowing users to Drag&Drop clips from the Timeline to the Project Window while preserving all of their modifications (effects, keyframes, motion settings and/or markers).

Comments? Ideas? Please share!
As it has already been discussed in this thread (and duplicated threads are not allowed in Adobe Forums), the aforementioned feature request is mainly based on the false statement that an editor can either store raw clips in the Project panel or modified clip in the timeline. That's false because an editor can nest modified clip right in the timeline and the nested sequence will be automatically stored in the Project panel, turning into a regular reusable asset.
Unfortunately, the OP, as was also outlined in the duplicated thread, carefully avoids any mentioning this ability, which becomes your second nature if you use After Effects (which is unlike FCP is a part of Adobe Suite).
However, since the OP asks for sharing ideas, I do not hesitate to do this once again. Here is the feature request intended to improve the usability of such PrPro assets as 'Sequences' without breaking existing workflow:
*******Managing Sequences*******
It would be nice if managing capabilities for such assets as 'Sequences' were extended with the following features:
- similar live thumbnail view, which was introduced for footages in CS6. A small 'Sequence' badge in the top left corner of the thumbnail would allow to differentiate between sequences and clips;
- enabled metadata and ability to handle them like for any other regular asset;
- ability to remove empty audio or video tracks completely, i.e. get a sequence as an Audio or Video asset only;
- pop-up dialog box on hitting 'Nest' command, which would allow to give meaning name instead of default 'Nested Sequence XXX', contain 'Delete All Empty Tracks' checkbox and a button for advanced dialog for logging metadata right on a brand new asset creation.
These features would improve an ability to exploit sequences as reusable assets and preserve consistent applications behaviour throughout the Suite instead of breaking existing workflow by inventing new FCP style 'subclip with effects' type of asset. See this discussion in PrPro Forum for some more details:

Opinions On Several Feature Requests

Hello,
For starters this is not a problem I can't solve in Premiere but more so a request of your opinions on Feature Requests that I've recently submitted. Just so you know, I'm new to the Adobe forums but I'm not so new to Premiere Pro. I've used Premiere since 1.5 and have been fortunate to use every version up to CS5. We, at the shop, always talk about how Premiere could be a bit better and so after 6 years of talking I've finally submitted a few Feature Requests for Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and CS5.5. Below are the requests submitted one by one:

Feature Request: Premiere Pro CS5, CS5.5

Brief title for your desired feature:
Source Panel Keyboard Zoom
How would you like the feature to work?
In the Keyboard Customization menu, add keyboard zoom options for the Source Panel. Also have an option for vertical and horizontal zoom for audio.
Why is this feature important to you?
Often times I use the Source monitor before inserting clips of video or audio into the timeline. The current method of pinpointing an area in the Source monitor is by using the horizontal bar, which can be a little jarring. I always use the shortcut key (-) to zoom out and (=) to zoom in when using the timeline and program monitor. This may seem like a minor feature request but is key component to speed up my work flow and make my production time more efficient.
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:
Set Clip Markers Button
How would you like the feature to work?
In the timeline panel, beside the Set Display Style and Show Key Frames buttons, a Set Clip Markers button can be added to both the Video and Audio tracks. Just as the other buttons have dropdown menus, the Set Clip Marker would have its dropdown menu for set other numbered, next available or unnumbered. If the dropdown menu was set to next available number, each time the button was pressed the clip marker would adjust just as it does from the Marker tab at the top of the screen.

Brief title for your desired feature:
Multi-Camera Audio Fix
How would you like the feature to work?
I think this is more of a Bug Report but I'm submitting this as a Feature Request. When I edit in Multi-camera mode and I have a nested video sequence with the audio tracks beneath the nested video the first audio track gets extracted whenever I make multi-camera cuts. A work around for this is to lock the first audio track. At times I do forget to lock the audio and have to go back and extend the audio to get it back on its track.
Why is this feature important to you?
This fix is important because it makes the multi-camera feature more reliable and it saves time in the editing process.
Why is this feature important to you?
Because most of our jobs require multiple cameras and multiple audio sources, both on camera and standalone, using the Marker tab at the top of the screen is very time consuming when syncing each clip. I know many Premiere Pro users would benefit from this feature especially with the rise of the HDSLR work flows and the need to sync audio from external devices such as the Zoom H4N.
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:
Horizontal Audio Master Meter
How would you like the feature to work?
Customize the Audio Master Meter so that it can dock horizontally, similarly to how Adobe Soundbooth has its audio meter above.
Why is this feature important to you?
When we deploy to other countries, we have to use our laptops for editing. Because of the limited resolution on our laptops I think it would be better to have the audio meter at the top of the screen to maximize the amount of work space on laptops.
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:
Multi-Camera Monitor sync with Timeline
How would you like the feature to work?
Put simply, have the Multi-Camera Monitor sync real time with the Timeline Panel. Right now, whenever you use the Multi-camera Monitor it operates independently from the Timeline Panel. It should operate just as the Program monitor does with the Timeline.
Why is this feature important to you?
When I scrub through the footage in the Multi-Camera monitor I don't get a feel for the entire sequence and my current location when editing. When I use the Program monitor along with the Timeline Panel I have a reference of where I am in real time and it’s easier to manage cuts when I edit in the Timeline Panel.
If you have any feature requests for Premiere Pro, agree or disagree with the requests posted here I'd like to hear your opinions. Please state your Brief Title, The Feature, and Why you agree/disagree with the feature requests posted.

Feature requests -LRT214

I searched and did not see a similar thread.
I have a few requests that should be standard across all Firewalls, or what is the point.
IP address automatic blocking - Port scanning - We would like to set a threashold (number of ports) for a port scan then automatically block the scanning ip address. No one should be scanning my ports
Ip address block for x# failed remote login attempts. With the ability to unblock (for legitimate failed logins)
Port blocking by country. 99% of US companies do not need or want foreign trade or companies. Please create filter rules by countries/IPs and allow us to turn them on/off by country. This database is kept by several different orginizations.
Allow block proxy servers
Syslog program. Just give us a simple syslog program for all linksys Equipment. and/or put a link in the help section of the gui for one that works.
Router status on the login page. If internet is up or down without having to log in.
Default IP range is from x.x.x.2 - x.x.x.254. It is not this range by default and fixed/static Address in the 200 range down show up and won't connect. Many server are in the 200 range to prevent ip collision.
Use lowest ip addresss first. Even after setting the IP address to x.x.x.2 the DHCP attempts to connect new computer to .100 and up
Log port scanning- Rule: ping/attempted connection to more than one port. [ 3 ]> Ports= Port scanning
Do not respond to Ping! [x] Most firewall and securities have enabled this to prevent attempted hacks.
Load balancing and Traffic shaping. Show us a log by ip address of bandwidth used. Allow us to restrict bandwidth by Percentage and/or options to balance the equally.
Notification by email of bandwidth overload. Set bandwidth peak and duration. This helps determine of someone's computer is bulk mailing is acting as a server.
Hacked! Email notification of the network appears breached. This is defined by external IP connection time to a local computer. User sets connection length.
This port scanning is critical. We all know the Chineese are scanning our ports (I see it every day) and no one seems to be doing anything about it. This is the first step.

Hi Chris Robertson,
I appreciate your effort in listing the feature request for LRT214. The Linksys engineering team might be able to add those feature.
There maybe few features that the LRT214 is not capable of supporting, but it is a very helpful router for VPN purposes.
Router feature depends on its main purpose in a network, either for simple use in SOHO or Home use or to the more advanced and sophisticated networks for smal-medium or enterprise networks. If you will compare an ordinary home router with a small business type of router, they will have big difference already(mostly they differ with VPN capability and VLAN capability). And if we compare Enterprise type of router, then all features that you want from hardware to software is provided.
For the LRT214, it is designed for small-medium business with class C hardware(max of 253 ip addresses only).
I can only comment on the things that I know:
>Its default number of IP is 50 but you can max it out to 253 ip addresses.>it might be for bandwidth management.
>It has default syslog feature to check errors. But if you want an external syslog feature, then you need to install any 3rd party syslog servers> so that the error and notification will still be captur by your computer even if the router lost all connectivity.
>Load balancing is a feature for the Dual WAN only. Its purpose is to divide the total load and pass it to both WAN so that the total throughput will be much faster. Technically adding the two bandwidth of the two ISPs.
That's all I can comment to what I know.

BUGS and FEATURES REQUESTED. Please add to it.

I've been using the z10 for the past couple weeks and wanted to start a thread of comprehensive Bugs and Features Requested.
I've labeled Bugs by letters (A,B,C...) and Features Requested by numbers (1, 2, 3...) so that others can add sequentially.
BUGS
(Not listed in any particular order)
(A.) Contact App adds current date as birthday. When I edit my contact, the current date gets listed as the birthday in local contact.
(B.) Duplicate telephone numbers listed. Telephone numbers show up twice in my Contacts (e.g.., if I have the contact's cell saved in (000) 123-4567 format and the person has the number listed in Facebook, I get a duplicate entry of +10001234567).
(C.) Telephone numbers and emails are not actionable in Web pages. In webpages, I can't click on telephone number to call (e.g., I look up a phone number for a restaurant). I should be able to easily call or copy into the Phone App or E-mail App.
(D.) Auto capitulation for words on the word substitution list is wrong. For example, when the word substitution contains more than one word. I have "ru" change to "are you" but if the first letter is capitalized (R) then both words become capitalized words (Are You). I used to have shortcuts like "mysig" to create email signatures with legal disclaimers but I can't do that now.
(E.) Backspace delete doesn't work consistently. The Shift+Delete function seems only to work after moving the cursor. This feature is the Alt+Del action to delete words after the cursor.
(F.) All Emoticons do not list. Emoticons do not all fit on the the two screens (lists) of emoticons. I.e., two columns are missing from view and can be seen when sliding (swiping) between the lists. Also, sometimes when I select an emoticon, it doesn't correspond with the picture of the one I intended. I believe this error is related. As a separate note, there should be a way to see the underlying symbols of the emoticon. (Often times, other people don't have BlackBerrys so I'd like to know what symbols would be sent--my prior 9800 would show the characters as i scrolled through them).
(G.) BlackBerry keyboard doesn't always work in input fields. E.g., certain Web pages. (I found a work around; two finger swipe up from the bottom makes the keyboard appear)
(H.) Sent messages stay unread. This seems to be an issue when an app sends an email (e.g., share article). The email with the sent indicator (checkmark) stays bold and I have listed 1 unread email. I can't mark as read/unread but if I delete the sent email, my unread message gets cleared.
(I.) Contact already added but I get the option to add instead of view contact. For some contacts, I get the option to add to contacts in the action menu cascade when that person is already in my address book. This bug is for emails and text messages.
(J.) Cannot call from text message. When I hold a text message and select call under the action menu cascade, the OS opens up the phone app but doesn't call.
(K.) Composing messages by name. When composting messages, the input must be by first, middle and last name. It should be, instead, by string and include nickname. E.g., if the person's name is "Andrew B. Cameron" I must type the name in as such. I can't type in "Andrew Cameron" or "Andy Cameron."
Features Requested and Suggestions for Improved User Experience
(In no particular order)
1)      Option to reply in different ways from the Call List. Be able to select a name in a call list and have options to call, text or email the person. The action menu allows calls to other numbers but I can't choose to text or email the contact instead. Sometimes, I missed a call and want to reply via text because I’m not able to talk. (Long hold on the Torch 9800 trackpad button brought up the action menu allowing me to call, text, view history, add to speed dial, e-mail, delete, etc.)
2)      Option to reply in different ways from the Hub. Related to above, when selecting an item in the hub, have the option to contact the sender or caller with multiple different ways.
3)      Only show number once in contacts application. Tap on the number to bring up the "action" cascade menu with options to call or text the number. Why is the same number listed twice (once to call and below again to text it)?
4)      Timestamps for individual text messages. I can't tell exact time on individual text message if it comes in near the time of another text. All messages are in one "bubble."
5)      Ability to select MMS or text for a message. Sometimes I write a text longer than 160 characters and I prefer it to be sent in one message (i.e., MMS mode) rather than being broken into one or more standard text messages. I had this ability with my 9800.
6)      Send button should be moved for text messages!!! Why the heck is it right underneath the delete button?!? Or next to the period button? I often times have accidentally hit send when composing text. It's very annoying and embarrassing. (Also, what happened to the ability to hit enter for a return carriage to next line?)
7)      Bigger magnifying glass. My finger is often over the area I need to place the cursor. I find it difficult and erratic to place the cursor.
8)      Select all option. Add the option to select all text in action menu cascade.
9)      E-mail recipients and message headers. Difficult to tell if you are one of many email recipients. Can we have a way to pull the email down to see the list of recipients rather than have to click to expand the header info? I know this request is a little picky, but that's how it was done in the previous BlackBerry OS which I preferred; it is easier and faster to pull the e-mail down and 'peek' to see which e-mail box received the message, message status, from and to fields. This change would be consistent with BB's flow/peek rather than click.
10)   Browser navigation. Hold down back arrow to get a list of recently visited websites similar to a desktop browser.
11)   Dark/Night mode. A night mode (maybe in the drop down menu) to change all the white and bright backgrounds to black or dark which would be helpful when reading/viewing things at night in bed/etc.
12)   Number of contacts. Ability to see how many contacts I have.
13)   What happened to groups or categories? I'd like to have back the ability to filter or see categories and also a way to contact everyone in a category. E.g., family or friends or coworkers, etc.
14)   Shutter sound mute. I was at a wedding and wanted to take pictures during the ceremony but the shutter would was too loud.
15)   East Asian Language Input. I bought my parents two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones over the weekend because they need Korean input (and the Kakao talk app). (BTW, S3 is a great phone but I prefer the Z10 after having the weekend to use the Android phones).
16)   Ability to freely place icons on the homesreen. Currently, icons are forced top left-right-to-bottom. I prefer to space my icons out.
17)   Add a contact to the homescreen. I'd like to place a shortcut (similar to a Webpage) to the homescreen for a contact which will open up the contact. Android allows this feature and so did my previous 9800.
18)   Search Contacts by nickname. The contacts app doesn't allow me to search by, e.g., Andy, even if I have that as my contact's nickname. The previous OS allowed this type of search which was very helpful.
Finally, as a note, I've been using the BlackBerry Z10 for the past 2 weeks and it's a great platform. I just bought two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones over the weekend for my parents so they could use the Korean language input and related features so I spent a lot of time with the Android platform, setting it up and teaching them how to use it. The S3 is a great phone too.
I prefer, however, the way BlackBerry has done their OS 10 and the integrated management of messages.
It's too bad that BB doesn't have Korean input and apps like Kakao Talk or I would have considered it for them.
The BlackBerry 10 is a great platform and I look forward to the continual improvements that will only make the experience better.

This is a great post.
I couldn't have written it myself better.
I'm also in dying need of Korean input as I can't communicate with my Korean friends.
But I second every point.
I hope the tech teams are reading this.

Feature Request: Raw-Lite for the F5/F55

Hi Sony Staff, Here's a feature request that I've been pondering for a long time now. Raw Lite on the F5(5). Is it a possibility? I'm a huge fan of the conventional 3:1 compressed 4K 16-bit Linear Raw from the AXS-R5. It provides a supremely high quality digital negative, with as much detail and tonality as you could ever really need. However the file sizes are very large. 1TB yeilds roughly an hour of recording time. And the storage costs associated with that are enough to scare away MANY producers from shooting Sony Raw (even with all of the benefits that doing so offers). You guys have addressed this issue nicely with the F65 by offering Raw Lite with it's 6:1 compression (which coincidentally, is a compression rate that many, many producers are content to shoot with on the most prolific raw cameras out their - the Red Epic/Dragon/Scarlet cameras). Being able to offer producers the option to shoot Sony Raw Lite, with it's massively more managable file sizes would greatly increase the uptake of Sony Raw for production - and that benefits everyone. It benefits the camera department with a superior digital negative, it benefits post-production with greater latitude for grading and VFX, it benefits producers with a superior end product, and it benefits audiences with better looking images. Given that the F65 was able to be upgraded to offer this additional raw recording option, I assume (and hope) that it's not an impossiblity for the F5(5). So I'd urge you to strongly consider this feature request, and the added appeal it would bring to the cameras as a capture choice. Cheers, Mark

I disagree that there is little difference between 12bit and 16 bit linear raw. The difference is huge. Shadows and dark areas from the FS7/FS700 are pretty grim, lot's of noise caused by the data rounding. Besides, in terms of bit rate it's not a question of simply reducing the bit depth, you need to increase the compression. For linear raw you need 16 bits unless you do an extreme amount of data rounding. For Linear raw, if the first stop is represented by just 2 bits of data (which results in very blocky noise as noise will be one of 4 luma levels and cannot be smoothly reproduced): stop 1: 2 bitsstop 2: 4stop 3: 8stop 4: 16stop 5: 32stop 6: 64stop 7 128 (8 bit linear limit, 128 + 128 = 256 bits)stop 8: 256stop 9: 512 (10 bit linear limit)stop 10: 1024stop 11: 2048 (12 bit linear limit)stop 12: 4096stop 13: 8192 stop 14: 16384 bitsstop 15: 32768 bits (16 bit linear limit) If you move this scale up so that the first stop is represented by using 4 bits of data you will still have pretty coarse shadows and noise (one whole f stop will only have 16 posible luma values). So rather than just use binary math most linear raw systems use floating point math to make more bits available for the shadows. But with 12bit there just isn't anywhere near the same amount of "spare" bits that you get with 16 bit, so the shadows and low key areas really suffer. Just go and look at the FS7/FS700 boards and all the compliants about unusable, grainy and blocky shadow areas in the raw. Sure raw lite would be a welcome option, but it wouldn't be one for me. The whole point of raw for me is a robust, bomb proof format that you can expose and grade as you wish without worrying about artefacts etc.

Feature request: Better handling of accents

Hi everyone,
Since the "Provide iTunes feedback" menu item in iTunes itself only allows you to request music from the iTMS, I'm going to post my feature request for iTunes here, and hope that Apple picks up on it.
For most of the English-speaking world, accented characters (e.g.: é, à, â, ö, etc...) are never used, but for someone like me who speaks French or someone who has international music, it's an important part of using your computer.
So, here are two suggestions on how iTunes could handle accented characters more gracefully:
1. Don't be so aggressive in the auto-complete behaviour! iTunes will routinely disregard capitalisation and accents in order to "fuzzy-match" the auto-complete.
For instance, suppose I have an artist in my library named "Stephanie McKay", and I want to add another artist named "Stéphane Pompougnac". Here is how the auto-complete would look at six different stages (iTunes' suggestions are in square brakets):
1. St[ephanie McKay]
2. Ste[phanie McKay] iTunes replaces the é I just typed with a normal, unaccented e
3. Stephan[ie McKay]
4. Stephane iTunes doesn't have any suggestions to make at this point
5. Stephane Pompougnac I've typed in the complete name, and now I have to return to put the accent on the first e
6. Stéphane Pompougnac
In this case, the 'é' should've stuck as of step 2 and iTunes should've not had any suggestions to make since nothing else in my library starts with 'Sté'.
2. As far as searches go, the same is partially true, but with one caveat. If I'm searching for "Stéph", I should only get one result back, "Stéphane Pompougnac".
On the other hand, if I'm searching for "Steph", I think there's a possibility that I was too lazy to type the accent or I didn't know if/where there was an accent, and so I should get both results back: "Stéphane Pompougnac" and "Stephanie McKay".
The same is true of other accented characters (é, à, ö, ô, and even ç). I don't know how languages other than French and Spanish deal with characters that look alike (e.g. ø and o) or that represent the same thing, but if there is a relationship, I suppose the same behaviour should apply there.
Cheers,

Hi Brad,
Thanks a lot for pointing this out. We have verified this. We are looking into this issue and would try to incorporate the fix in future releases.

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 Requests beyond BlackBerry OS10.3.1

So, with 10.3.0 and 10.3.1 now officially released on the Passport and Classic, let's look forward!
What feature request(s) would you like to see included in future updates, say OS10.3.2 and beyond? Of course, there's nothing official to this thread, but one never knows who might view it and get an idea or two to move foward.
Please post your feature request below, and let's make sure BlackBerry has a good reference point for user-input on what we'd like to see.
Let's simple short statements AND please add the value of your request (i.e., why that feature request has value to you):
Ability to lock the volume keys (since they are so easliy pressed when retrieving from holster)
Implement a shutdown confirmation screen to the top edge power key before shutting down (many pocket carrying users complain of device shutdowns in their pocket).
Allow BlackBerry Protect to automatically backup and restore personal data, such as contacts (I trust BlackBerry to protect our data and other third party apps can do this already).
**This thread is not for bug reports (i.e., the calendar glitches when I set the date) or for debate or discussion of the worthiness of a feature request.
So, what would YOU like to see beyond 10.3.1?
1. If any post helps you please click the below the post(s) that helped you.
2. Please resolve your thread by marking the post "Solution?" which solved it for you!

Cool! I was waiting for this, there are a few things I would like to see.
OS
- No frames option (for the people that want this), this means that you swipe up it will never go to a active frame
- Keep swiping to close, when you keep swiping up it will close the app/frame (like on playbook I think it was)
- Auto reboot, choose a day, time when your phone restarts (and unlocks after reboot) this is nice for people that want their phone to reboot when they sleep so they have a fresh start and don't have to reboot during work day
- Alternative keyboard, everyone knows the BlackBerry keyboard is awesome.. but allow developers to create own keyboards (native, no android port)
- Themes, One reason why people jailbreak iPhone or use Android or loved BBOS. Themes that will totally transform your phone, keyboard, colours will be nice for people that want to customize their device
- Font type change, this was possible in BBOS. Some people like to have a different font.
- Completely light OS, this is something personal; some people like dark theme, some people like light.. but with the latest BlackBerry OS 10.3.1 it is still mixed up, some parts are light some parts are dark. When selecting light theme everything should be light, all core apps, buttons, everything, when you select dark everything will be dark, and then there will be a customize option where you can set it for each app (core apps and layout) how you want it
- Show date, time, signal always on top-option, Remember.. screenshots on internet are shown a lot, when posting a screenshot of a BlackBerry 10 app nobody knows its BlackBerry, with BBOS you always had time, signal, on top people knew it was a BlackBerry and would be nice to get this back, plus no need for swiping up to see the time
E-mail
- Able to create filters, example move e-mails from this person to this folder, and give them this colour or move everything with this word in header or subject and delete it forward it and more.
- "Out of Office", able to set out of office for work emails / accounts as automatic reply
Hub
- More colours, now there are only a few
Keyboard
- Emoij button on the keyboard (including special characters)
LED
- More led colours and settings
Cloud, Sync and backup
- Create backup from your device instead of BlackBerry link and backup them to any cloud storage (or blackberry cloud)
- Sync bookmarks and settings with your BlackBerry ID
- Sync remember with your BlackBerry ID
- Sync Wi-Fi networks and passwords with your BlackBerry ID
- BlackBerry Cloud storage (5 or 10GB free and pay for more?)
Blend
- Webblend access your phone from a secure BlackBerry website so you don't have to install any program on a computer you maybe will only use for one day.
BBM
- Multiply login, access BBM on more devices (including a web version) at the same time
- PIN transfer, take your BlackBerry PIN to your new device. I really liked my old BB pin but when I sold the device I lost it, it would be nice to be able to "keep" my BBM pin or get a personal pin
- Add user my phone number if linked, BBM Pin is awesome but allow users to also add people with phone number so you can give your phone number or pin If my contacts get BBM but forget to give their pin they will just show because I have their phone number
Device

Import Feature Request...

Having used Lightroom for sometime I have a feature request dealing with the
importing of images in to Lightroom.
I would like to see the ability to have Lightroom look at each image it
imports and based on where the image is dark, light or in the middle it
would apply a different preset to them. For example if Lightroom found that
60% of the pixels in the image was dark colors it would apply a preset that
I create for dark images that would lighten the image. If it found that 40%
of an image was light colors it would apply a preset I create that would
darken the image. If it found that 50% of the image was dark colors and 50%
were light colors it would apply a preset that I create that might up the
saturation and other things but not adjust the exposure any.
I would like to see the percentages that Lightroom uses to make these
decisions adjustable by the user. For example for an image to be considered
dark it would have to have 80% of the pixels dark, etc. I would also like to
see this feature be able to be turned on or off by the user (for those that
don't want to use it) as I realize this could slow the import process down.
And, while it would make the importing slower I think it would mean less
work for the user later.
Also, maybe instead of looking at all of the pixels in the image one by one
to make a decisions on how light or dark the image is it could simply create
a quick histogram and use that. It seems like histogram generation in
Lightroom is pretty fast and this may keep the import time down to something
that isn't so bad.
As it is right now, I see little point in having a preset applied to the
images I import as very seldom do all of the images I import in to Lightroom
would work with the same preset. I think a setup like this would cut down on
adjustments later.

The problem with the auto preset is that the current auto functions in
Lightroom just kind of suck. On all of the images I have used it on it blows
everything out and this is even on images that already have plenty blown
out. I have yet to see it darken an image.
I also want to point out I am not asking for an auto feature I am asking
that options be added that lets the user apply a preset (any preset they
want) to images that are too dark, too light and 50-50. This is a far cry
from the auto functions that are in LR now.
If you apply a preset to images that are dark and that preset ups the
Exposure to +1, etc. the chances are good that it will get your image much
close to what you want. Just like applying a preset that adjusts the
exposure to -1 on images that are very light. And, of course the user can
control the threshold that LR uses to decide if an image is light, dark or
50-50. You can also turn this off if you don't want to use it. There really
is nothing auto about my suggestion since the entire process is controlled
by the user. It just saves you time of waiting for an import to complete and
then going through your images manaully and apply a lightening and darkening
preset to the appropriate images.

Feature Request: Add multiple photos to catalog at once

The API currently allows you to use catalog:addPhoto() to add a single photo to the catalog.
This works fine, but a poor user experience when adding a number of photos (esp. dozens or hundreds) - there's a separate child progress bar for each, masking the overall progress, and if the user has a sound enabled on import, it plays the sound on each photo import. If there were a way to import multiple photos at once (or API options/params to disable both of the feedbacks), this would make for a better UX when importing a lot of pictures.

Sorry. I'm having a hard time finding my way around these forums, and the search is less than helpful.
Please point me in the right direction.
Edit: I found the correct forum now, and have recreated my feature requests there and deleted them from this forum (with the exception of this thread, which I can't delete at this point). My apologies.
