Feature Request: Unified DVE tool

As I begin experimenting with Premiere Pro CC, I keep wishing there was more of a unifed DVE tool that emcompess tools that are currently available, but as seprate actions.
In my mind a unified DVE tool would have most of the features currently under the motion tab: Position, Scale, Uniform Scale, Rotation, Anchor Point. It would also have Opacity.
It would also have the main features of the Basic 3D effect but implemented as part of Rotation. Calling them Swivel and Tilt is non standard. Look at After Effects.
It would have the elements of Corner PIn effect.
It would have the ability to crop the image.
It would have the ability to add either softness to the crop or a border or both.
I think you see where I am going with this.
It slows down your workflow to have to go hunting for these commonly used tools.
Thanks for reading.

Hello Ann,
Most of my questions relate to having spent more than an afternoon pushing buttons with all the effects. It is important to understand that I come from a background of smoke and Avid DS - two very strong effects / editing applications. Plus I am reasonably comfortable with After Effects.
I am trying to determine if Premiere will satisfy my client's expectations for effects work within the editing application. I realize that some of the things I look for can be more easily dealt with by pushing to After Effects.
I just want to know what can and can not be done with the native tools in Premiere.

Feature Request: Voice Separation Tool during Scroll in Play

Have been using the voice separation tool to make coherent piano parts after being played in via midi. Ideally it would be great if Logic had some 'intelligent sensor' which automatically detected the "logic" of what left and right hand would do.
It gets really tedious dragging the Voice Separator tool through the piano score especially if it is a long part, so I had the idea to try and use View>Scroll in Play NOT in Page edit mode but with the score running in a straight band across the screen. I figured if you slow the tempo down a bit you might be able to hold the voice separation tool in one place on the screen and 'surf' or skateboard between the notes separating them just by slight adjustment of the mouse as the notes flow by.
Unfortunately this doesnt work because even though you are scrolling in play with the tool, as soon as you click the mouse to make it active, it 'undoes' the connection causes Logic's score to update with the sequencer.
Is there an outside chance of a way around this? ie some unknown linking of windows etc - I would really appreciate a few tips from anyone who has regularly made piano parts with the Voice Separation tool
MS

I don't know if this would help, but for piano parts I've given up using the voice separation tool, cool though it is. Instead, I start with the stock Piano score style (L7 terminology) and adjust the split point to get a reasonable result. Then I select all the notes in the bass clef and hit them with the "+" key (my k/command assignment used to increment event channel +1). This is a very fast operation. Then I alter the existing Piano style by setting treble to ch. 1 and bass to ch. 2. At this point you won't see a change in the score, but now you know that bass notes are "hard-assigned" to the bass clef.
Go through the part again, selecting notes that should be in the bass staff and hit them with +1 to move them down to the the proper staff.
If the part requires more than 2 independent voices (or more than L/R hand), I add additional polyphonic voices to that Piano style as needed (each set to unique MIDI channels) and go through the part in one more pass, selecting notes and assigning them to the appropriate MIDI channel. Using the key commands for "event channel + 1" and "event channel -1", assigned to the "+" and "-" keys makes quick work of this kind of thing.

Feature Request: Unified Inbox (or if not, then skip to inbox if new items)

I'd like to see a unified Inbox for iPhone Mail similar to the OS X Mail app's. If that weren't forthcoming, I'd at least like to see a tweak when navigating mail accounts so that when an account has new mail, selecting the account goes straight to the inbox instead of requiring the extra step of selecting the inbox. The reasoning is that if one selects an account with new items, chances are they want to view them, not select some other folder. On the way out it goes back to the list of folders (mailboxes) from the inbox. Also, if there are no new items, then selecting the account goes to the list of folders (mailboxes). For the rare occasion when one does not want to go straight to the inbox when new items are in it, the cost is an extra tap to go back (then again, a preference could be provided to defeat the jump navigation for new items).

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: Photo Borders and Copying in Books

These are a few related feature requests. If anyone knows of a better way to do this with the current software, then I would love to hear it.
When making books I like to have borders around the pictures of various colors (usually black or white) and various widths. In Apeture this is a pain to do. I fiqured out that I could fake it by making a picture box and inserting a solid black picture into it and then creating a smaller picture box in front of it for my real photo. This might be tolerable if I could at least then select both picture boxes and their contents to copy and then onto other pages as a template that I can resize as needed.
Ideally I would love to be able to copy and paste multiple elements on a book page and I would like to be able to define photo borders. Any chance of seeing this in the near future?
Thanks,
Sean

Thanks for the reply. You are right, the cut and paste works fine, it just didn't work the way I expected it to. Maybe that is a GUI design thing to consider. I was actually trying to click and drag a selection box like you might do in iPhoto to select multiple images that are right beside each other. This doesn't work at all in Aperture, but your method does work just fine.
I agree with the other poster that some additional features like:
Photo Borders
Export to PSD (with layers)
Custom page sizes and Custom themes
would be very nice and start to make that tool truley useful.
Thanks for a really nice product. Keep up the good work and stay ahead of the pack.

Feature Request (again); Adobe Bridge Cache Manager

In Adobe Bridge, the Cache is still a problem and a huge memory hog. I asked for a good Cache Manager over 3 years ago when it was needed CS4.
Now in CS6, I am disappointed that the cache system in Bridge has not changed. Why do you have a section in the Adobe Forums that asks for 'Feature Request' and then ignore them?
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2652688#2652688
"I would personally like a tool within Bridge that allows me to manage and control the Cache in a more personal and effective way. I would like a toggle that would keep '100% previews' in one folder for a selected period of time (1 day to 1 month) before the folder's cache is automatically purged. And another toggle that would give me the option to keep a selected folder's cache permanently intact (such as an Important Portfolio Folder or an Edited Images Folder).
As a photographer, I take and edit a lot of photos. When I import a photoshoot with 1,500 photos (not uncommom at all) I enjoy having the Bridge Previews at 100%, but for only a limited time. Unfortunately, I forget to purge the individual cache of that folder and the cache builds to a point that makes Adobe Bridge CS4 very slow. I then have to Purge the whole Bridge Cache in order to make Bridge run smooth again.

A Cache Manager tool that lets me either schedule a cache cleaning on a folder, or keep it permanent, would be a huge help. And I don't think that it is unreasonable for me to ask this of Adobe.
If you submit a feedback poll where Yammer pointed you, and it gets a couple of hundred (thousand?) users agree you might get Adobe's attention.
I agree with Yammer that Bridge is a low priority project with Adobe. Think their target audience is the casual user with a few hundred photos added each year. Your use pattern is more specialized and you either have to adapt with scripts or move to another product IMO.
The size of cache takes a lot of people by surprise. It can grow humongous if you use HQ thumbs and save 100% previews. One can dump the cache in preferences, but many are reluctant to to this as they think it will delete all their keywords and edits. In addition, to do a search you have to re-index all your files, which can take a long time.
If you have "export cache to folders" checked, dumping the cache in preferences only dumps the central cache. To dump the folder cache you have to visit each folder and click on Tools/cache/purge cache for xxx folder. Again, most people do not recognize this. This technique purges both the central and folder cache for this folder only.
It the 100% previews are the problem for you it would seem like a simple task for the script people to write one that would delete it after xx days as the 100% previews are held in a specific folder.
Bridge is not a good digital asset manager. You are probably in that arena dealing with several hundred thousand images. Omke uses a DAM as it does some functions better than Bridge, but Bridge is still his main program. Can't remember the name, but if you read these posts you might have seen it.

Feature Request: Destructive editing with AUs in Sample Editor

I would like to be able to apply edits destructively in the sample edit window with Audio Units like we could in Logic on MacOS9 (which used AudioSuite plugins). This is an ongoing request, year after year, among veteran Logic users. In every update it is ignored. The feature requires no redesign of the sample edit window, just another menu sub item droplist. While the bounce in place feature is a welcome addition, it is not a replacement for this feature that was removed in the migration to MacOSX and has been sorely missed ever since.
Here's just one recent sentiment from a user on the NYC Logic Users Group:
"I recently changed over to Logic from Pro Tools and I really miss this feature! For handling plosives and de-essing small fragments."
I also know a very prominent producer who boycotted Logic 8 and 9 for this reason alone. While I would never do that (since I happen to love all the new features and feel comfortable with the workflow of Logic 9), I sympathize with this person's frustration over the lack of this feature. I find myself constantly in the position of wishing I had destructive editing back in my Logic tool belt.

With all due respect, I personally cannot stand soundtrack. A lot of effort was put into the app that should have gone into Logic. As you allude to, I can trigger that Logic keystroke to open any sample editor, which is what I do. I just want the functionality back that was taken away from us many moons ago. I'm not looking for workarounds. This is just a simple feature request. But thank you for the suggestion.

Feature Request: Please fix text editing

Hi there great Adobe Team!
I am usign your product for rapid web prototyping. Often times ontop of my interface drawing, I use the text tool to write some text, and then put a nice colored background box behind it.
The problem I am facing is this:
It seams you have mapped the control-left and control-right keys to change the spacing of the letters. Unfortunately, this is a common mapping used in windows to jump to the next word!
Your current key mapping assignment makes text editing quite troublesome!!!
Can you please change these key maps in your next update?
Thanks very much
Sincerely yours,
a developer that uses Fireworks and Adobe Cloud everyday!

TokyoFire,
Hi! This is a user-to-user forum. I recommend that you submit your feature request directly to Adobe using their official Feature Request and Bug Report Submission form:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
For future reference, it is possible to change many of the keyboard shortcuts in Fireworks using the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog (under Fireworks > Keyboard Shortcuts). Here, you can choose from several different sets or create your own customized set. Within each set, there are three categories: Menu Commands, Tools, and Miscellaneous.
Unfortunately, none of these categories seems to include the shortcut to which you're referring (for text kerning). To expand upon your suggestion, I'd recommend that Adobe consider adding this missing shortcut to the Miscellaneous category, or create a new category called Text, where users can access and modify this and any other missing, text-oriented keyboard shortcuts.

(Harmful) edit not visible in WkiHistory in "Feature Requests"

Maybe this should be a discussion.
I've just removed a porn link from the Forums table in "Feature Requests for..."
The disturbing part is that the edit I removed first appeared in Rev.233, but was not visible in the WikiHistory. I can construct a lot of scenarios here (but I won't!) and all of them are scary. I cannot construct a scenario with a "harmless"
rating.
I'm only a newbie, it's not for me to take this further. But I am sufficiently experienced to know that a revision of best practise access control should be undertaken. Yesterday would be a good time to initiate it.
Gordon.

Hi Richard -
Thanks for answering. It's the comment to the edit that's missing.
I believe (I have not tested) that blank comments are not listed as part of the edit, so all we get is the user's edit listing, but no clue of what was done in the edit.
I draw your attention to Wikipedia, where all parts of the edit are summarized in the History List. I don't believe the Technet Wiki History needs that amount of data, but OTOH that is the sort of thing computers excel at. But I do believe Technet
Wiki should record blank comments as well as filled comments. Maybe a blank comment could be filled with the first 10 or 20 words of the edit?
Gordon.
Okay, please add the feature request to the Wiki section:

Copy and paste feature request

Please God... uh, Mr. Jobs,
When in text edit mode and while viewing web pages etc., please add a button with a clipboard icon that switches into a text select mode that allows you to drag over text to select as well as double and triple tap sentances and paragraphs. Then we'll be able to select either a copy, cut or paste button.
This phone is a great tool. However, without the ability to copy text from anywhere it is very limited as a creative writing, blogging and research tool.
Hope to see it implemented soon.
Thanks
Does, anyone have a link for feature request submissions specific to iPhone?

I'd love cut & paste too. Otherwise how do you maintain/organize/re-organize lists on it easily...errands, tasks, to-dos, shopping lists, etc.
You can ask Apple for iPhone changes via this link:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Though if you're requesting hardware changes for iPhone v2 you may want to wait a week (or a month?)...they're probably going to be inundated right now by requests for software changes to the current iPhone.
(If this has answered your question, please mark your original post as answered)

Some feature you posted are great. How about a eyedropper tool for the Color Matte?
I find the Magnet for Snap quite visible. There is also this feature in the Pref to make the playhead snap.

Feature Request: RGB Histograms / Tone Curves

Hi team,
It would be really helpful to be able to view the RGB Histograms separately in addition to a composite (rather than the "compact" mode we have now).
It would also be really helpful to be able to adjust the Tone Curve applied to an individual RGB channel in Develop.
Finally, it would be most helpful to be able to see the RGB values as well as or instead of the RGB percentages when moving the cursor over an image area. This would be particularly helpful for fine-tuning skin tones.
Thanks, and keep up the great work.
We're delighted you're evolving Lightroom!
Cheers,
Matthew

Your post seems to assume that Lightroom is a tool for travel/landscape photography, and other types of photography (e.g., portrait/fashion) should be supported by a "specialized add-on module". I have to disagree with you on that point. Considering many of the examples on the Lightroom marketing are fashion shoots, I would think that they considers portrait/fashion photographers to be an important part of their target audience. They are not a fringe group of specialists.
I'm sure that portrait/fashion photographers would feel the same way about a Lightroom capability that primarily benefits the workflow of a travel/landscape photographer, i.e., when I do do some landscape work, I just edit in Photoshop. But you wouldn't agree to that, would you?
Skin tone measurement can be an incredibly easy tool to implement. It can be something as simple as showing the CMY values alongside the RGB values during a mouseover. Keep in mind, I'm talking about CMY not CMYK, so there should be no need to worry about what ICC profile to use. RGB to CMY is a straightforward transformation. It's embarassingly simple.
There are other ways Adobe can implement skin tone management that would be more powerful but a little more complicated. Those would be great too.
Anyway, thanks for the link to the Adobe feature request page! I will use it.
Regards,
Mike

1DC thoughts + feature requests

Hello,
It has been just under a year now that I acquired the 1DC and have actually totally, completely fallen in love.
Although my short little fashion run-n-gun films show my poor DP abilities, this camera is an absolute dream for a imager suchas myself- functioning as a combined top of the line stills + cinema camera that never ceases to amaze me.
Whether shooting in total darkness at >10k ISO in color under a single street lamp- or in rush hour on the sidewalks of Manhattan- grabbing takes in between buses dropping off 75 people every 120 seconds walking in my FOV . . . the 1DC continues to impress . . . and I am now a firm believer.
As always- we find ourselves hoping for a few tools to improve with what we have-
and although I am certain 2.0 is in teh works, I hope the results will show Canon's continued commitment to it's professional userbase . . who have long been loyal . . . and will continue to be if Canon delivers like they have with this amazing product.
Hence:
A few Firmware 2 or 2.x feature requests:
focus peaking + zebra
120 fps at 720p or 1080p.
60 fps or higher at Super 35.
True 1080p at 60 fps.
slightly improved canon log (LOVE Canon Log) to extend dynamic range a wee bit furthe, and some sort of dithering of the 8 bit output to help prevent banding
and the holy grail: enable raw output ,or if possible 10 bit or slightly less compressed output - even if it means we need to move to newer, faster CF cards (and even if it requires a nominal fee Canon service center mod)
This camera is by far the most powerful, fastest, muscular, filmic, and surprising piece of imaging equipment I have ever owned.
It is a testament to every person on the Canon team involved in its conceptualization and production, and I thank each and every one of them for their efforts and the outcome.
RG
And I want to add: I open this topic becuase I googled my heart out but could find no real feature list request discussions for 1DC firmware in one area or thread . . . I am sure they are around and maybe here, but thought I would open the topic as I am sure there are expert users who have more insight who might add here, and I thought it might be helpful to Canon as well.

For a nice explanation on dithering (what I was speaking about) and how the GH4 guys did it- as well as a potential easy workaround for sky banding- see this:

Five Feature Requests - Do you have more?

Forgive me if this isn't the appropriate place to post feature requests but I couldn't find anywhere else that seemed better.
I love Keynote.... I'm looking forward to the day when I can ditch PP for good. Here are some features that I think would really help Keynote become more powerful.
1. Export as faithfully as possible to PP. Motion paths, alpha channels, etc. We live in a mixed platform world and I hate seeing my presos butchered on export.
2. Include a "slide library" like we have in iPhoto and the new iMovie. Opening dozens of presentations to find a particular slide is a pain!
3. Give us a layer browser (ala PhotoShop) to make arranging object hierarchies easier
4. Let us apply Quartz image processing to objects/layers ( blur, distort, colorize, etc) and make those effects non-destructive and play in real-time if appropriate (eg, ripples, fading, etc).
5. Give us some alternative to "SmartArt". Being able to create structured diagrams easily with SmartArt is a HUGE time saver.
Thanks!
H

The best way to hide such a discussion such as this is to lead on from another established thread about a related matter. The worse way is to put "feature request" in the title. I listed ten or so features and got the thread pulled in 24hrs.
Against that, I feature requested (*Keynote Menu> Feedback...*) a feature similar to Magic Move (but less ambitious) last year and was pleasantly surprised to see MM in KN'09. Also noted KN'08 had very difficult Build>Move path construction tools that hid control points under other objects and now they stay active. Very subtle but effective improvements there. Not sure if it was listening, synchronicity or randomness but gives hope.
Co-Melbournian, Les Posen presented to the Keynote dev team and his blog has an account of sorts.

Portfolio features request:

some small features would greatly enhance the value of Portfolios:
1) filename aliases so that we could create the names to display instead having to display actual filenames.
2) Portfolios of Portfolios - incredibly useful if we could stack levels of portfolios. I discovered that it's 'almost' possible. We can create and access a portfolio inside of a portfolio. We just can't navagate back to the higher level portfolio once we've drilled down to a lower level one. Maybe it needs an extra tool bar button that would action us to the highest folio level? I also noticed that calling a portfolio from within a higher level portfolio displays a "portfolio empty" message, even though it clearly is not empty. That would need to be fixed as well.
3) Question? Are the file icons displayed within portfolio presentations 'removable' and/or can other images be substituted for them? (I'm a new user)
If not, that would be a great feature, too. The general idea behind these ( 1 and 3) feature requests is, from the clients point of view, our presentations will be far more professional if we have the option of supressing any extraneous (acrobat generated) display and can display only what we want seen. For presentations to technical people it might be desirable to display filenames and such, but for others, such things only distract and lower the production values of our work.

I completely agree with you. Also mine company, which bought and used "Presenter 7", and would like to upgrade to "Presenter 8" or "9 Presenter," But in the absence of this feature video capture for the sidebar is not acquistera "Presenter 9 "if you do not back the functionality and probably will try alternative software that do this.
So me too request to Adobe to reinsert this functionality in "Presenter 9" or alternatives of equal simplicity (eg the inclusion of a button "Capture Video" as in "Presenter 7" next to the "Recorder".
