Feature Request where?

Does adobe have a Feature Request area for PP? Where?

"Curtis Henson:
Back to "feature" requests?!?"
I would like to see many of the CS4 defaults set to something that is relevant and consistent. For instance, when exporting an avi from the Premiere timeline, Media Encoder defaults to NOT using preview files. You have to remember to change the little drop-down setting every freaking time or else Media Encoder defaults to not using preview files, and the export process can take a ridiculous amount of time. So Premiere currently DOESN'T remember your last export setting related to using or not using preview files when exporting.
Contrast that default with Encore, where yesterday, I used Encore to export a 640x480 Flash review video for a client, I could post on our website. When I returned to Encore, an hour later, I had to use it to create a DVD that was 1 hour and 40 minutes long. The process seemed to take forever. Then I realized that Encore defaulted to the last setting I used which was Flash! So Encore DOES remember your last export setting. Realizing you just wasted a lot of time creating Flash instead of a DVD sucks big time and it's easy to miss it when you're in a hurry.
For clients, being able to easily scrub back and forward through Flash Internet review videos is a huge deal. Currently the only movie control available for Flash exported from Encore is missing this ability/feature.
We have currently been working in SD widescreen NTSC. I have been exporting the DVD mp2's from the Premiere CS4 timeline because for whatever reason, Encore has been lately coming up with an Encode Error when I try to use avi files. For some reason the mp2 DVD export in Media Encoder defaults to the preset Widescreen 23.4 frames per second or something like that, where it changes the frame rate of the video! Please tell me why anyone would want to take a 29FPS video and export it with a reduced frame rate. I did this once a few years ago by accident and the DVD played back like a strobe effect was applied to the entire video! Encoder should default to presets that most closely match the specifications of the loaded avi file.
When you're in a hurry, it's easy to forget to change some of these inappropriate defaults.

[Feature request - where else could I post it?]

Sorry for being off topic / problem; please let me know where I could post feedback. Thank you!
»» Apple:
One thing I have dreamed of for a long time: Please let us create a permanent media list of all the stuff we own - regardless if it's still in the iTunes Library or not.
I use other apps for this job, but why create entries twice?
I need a media library that stores music, videos etc. even if they are no longer on my hard disk. A complete media inventory. This is for sure an easy job to do for you.
Thank you very much!

Where to put feature requests?

Hi!
Just wanna ask if somebody knows where I can send my feature requests für iTunes. It is simply anoying when told that a file can't be found in the location where the library was told a file is saved. When I wanna see where it iTunes is looking for the file, I only see: "nicht verfügbar" (in English: "not available").
Or is there an other way to see the last known location of the file?

Where is the Premiere 'Feature Requests' forum?

I would like to suggest that Adobe add the ability to do a name and/or parameter search from the Media Browser in Premiere. I've found feature request forums for many other apps, but not premiere. Where should I post this request?
David

Here is an ARTICLE with a bit more info, that might be useful, when using Stan's link. The more info that you can provide to Adobe (either for Feature Request, or Bug Report), the easier it will be for them to act on the report/request.
Good luck,
Hunt

Feature request...where to post them?

Hi everyone!
I have seen a friend's iPhone (which was jailbroken), which had the ability of turn-down-to-mute (when the iPhone is ringing, you turn it facing down, and it mutes automatically). It was some app named mcool iphone or something like that.
I'm not on a jailbroken iPhone, my question is when can Apple implement this feature, so we won't have to illegally hack our phones to get this cool feature?
Older nokias (like 8800 arte) already support this thing...
Where can we post a feature request to apple?

Where do I make a feature request for tethering and A2DP

I would very much like to switch from Windows Mobile to an iPhone but:
1. It does not support tethering which is very useful for emergency situations that require internet for work on my laptop while travelling
2. It does not support A2DP which I think is a great innovation for music listening.
I understand that feature requests cannot be made on this forum, so could somebody please tell me where I can officially voice these requests to Apple?
Thanks,
Scott

In the US, it's unlikely that ATT will allow tethering without an additional tethering plan.
2. It does not support A2DP which I think is a great innovation for music listening.
There is an adapter you can buy if you want to use stereo bt headphones.

Where to send feature request for router?

Hi, does anyone know where to send feature requests for the router firmware? I want to suggest adding http://www.dnsomatic.com to the supported dynamic dns providers, as it would add tons of services with little work.

Today Verizon made available a new area on the forums called the Verizon Idea Exchange:

Based on the FAQ Verizon has posted it appears this would be a good place to enter your request.

Where can I make a feature request?

I have a feature request for the Chat feature of Thunderbird. My request is simple, when double-clicking on a user in an IRC channel, I think it should open up the "conversation" associated with that private message and give it the focus. Currently, it simply crates another "conversation", but leaves is in the background. Where is the current place to make such a request?

Actually you can have them off for low temp..at least for mine.
I am actually using an LED strip in the case fan 2 plug
I have the Z97 Gaming 5.. and in the bios I have the smart fan setup once it hits 40 it lights the led, but then min is 50% (I wish it could be less!) then as the temp increases, it gets brighter.
At idle, the led is off...
would be really nice if the case fans had the option for 20% like the cpu..
So have you looked at the bios fan settings?
waiiit... I wonder if I could connect it to the CPU fan 2!!! then it can be as low as 20% lol

IChat and USB Video Class devices - where to file feature requests?

Hi,
i'm using a Logitech 9000 Pro for video chat (iChat, Skype), and found the "generic" support of MacOS X somewhat lacking. While i'm happy with the out-of-the-box support, both running it in Parallels Windows XP and peeking around with Apple's USB Prober application revealed that the camera is capable of lots more features (USB Prober even lists them all) that the video input of MacOS X simply ignores. i.e. you can only use 320x240 (10.4) or 640x480 (10.5), 10 fps, OR (in Quicktime Pro) 1600x1200, 5 fps.
So my question is:
Is a feature request for an additional pop-up menu (like "use video stream 640x480 @ 30 fps" in the camera selector) best filed for iChat, or Quicktime, or maybe "OS X" (since it seems to be an operating system driver)?

Yes to all of those.
Sometimes settings made in other places are held between apps.
Take a Look at the Quicktime Preferences for the Player if you have Quicktime Pro or even iMovie

Where is the correct place to suggest a LR feature request?

My latest attempt brought me to http://feedback.photoshop.com and trying to sign in brought me into an endless loop.

Some of us theorize that Adobe has enough feature requests and bug reports to last them a lifetime and has therefore made it impossible to register a new ID and sign in... (sorry ).
Seriously, that (http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/new) is the correct place, but there are some problems to be worked out...

Official feature request go where?

Ok... Since the new forum came about I haven't had too many ideas for new features and the ones I've had weren't that complicated... But now I've got a good one and I was wondering if there was still an official place to submit feature requests for Audition? I don't see a link anywhere so is this it now? Do we have to make it public?

Hello Ron.
I've kept a bookmark in my browser because of this very difficulty of finding the Feature Request/Bug Report Form.

Forward As… SMS, MMS, EMAIL from one to another.
Send SMS to new numbers (I think you can still do this from call log)
Single key press to change profiles.
Insert a picture into an e-mail. (I think he means into the body of email)
Turning off links of contacts (I think poster did not have multiple accounts, actually BB10 goes ahead and adds all new contacts into all address books in all accounts without user permission.. Create a contact in Hotmail? Gets copied to Gmail.. and then linked, terrible implementation in my opinion)
Presets for browser bookmarks, faster access to bookmarks. (My suggestion was to create a home screen, select 12 icons 3x4 or 16 icons 4x4 as home screen/start page)
Being able to allow flash based on website/url/server.
Ability to adjust different sounds/volumes for different BBM users/groups
Better Voice Dial and Voice Commands (shorter and easier operation)
Ability close one or all web pages/tabs, add "Close All" button.
Call Recording
Faster way to delete e-mails, such as file icons next to e-mails, or Swipe to Delete! Swipe to File!?
Customize email signatures with formatting.
Phone to stay on screen (dial pad always available in panes)
More Options for Clock.
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)

Lost & Found iPhone with Find My iPhone - Feature Request

Yes I found the lost phone and I'm very very grateful for the existing feature which works flawlessly once you get a hold of it but from a real life use case, there are things that can be improved that will make it more efficient and effective. This is a summary of feature requests that I figure from the real-life use case of Find My iPhone.
Earlier this week my friend dropped his iPhone on a cab and realize at the end of the day (he initially thought he left it at home) that it must have fell off his pocket in the cab where he can hardly remember the color of the cab let alone the license plate. Having said that I asked him if he had iCloud turned on (basically Find My iPhone in recent iOS) and so we checked. So here is where all the difficulties begin and please keep in mind that in a situation like this we're always in a hurry if not panicking.....
1. You typically have more than 1 mobile phones:
a.) Where its most likely different brand, model, or OS (you don't buy two identical phones) so in this case he has a Samsung Android where iCloud page can not be rendered - it throws an error. So this didn't work
b.) You need to borrow your friend's "iPhone" to find it and not many people find it obvious that you need to download the Find my iPhone app in addition to just activating iCloud to track a phone. Thats another long step considering in some countries u have a really crappy 3G or sometimes on Edge
c.) If you are lucky your friend have an iPhone or an iPad, you go to www.icloud.com it doesn't do anything except tell you "how to turn on icloud", download Find my Friends, and Find my iPhone.....you need a laptop browser to be able to use the tracking feature....why????? I understand that it won't work with other brands of mobile phones but these are both Apple's!!!
2. When you realize that you have lost your phone, you don't always have your laptop or an iPad - but you always have mobile phones let it be your secondary one or your friend's. Moreover, your laptop rarely have cellular connection so even if you have it, aside from the fact that it takes you 15 minutes to boot up your laptop, you also have to find yet ANOTHER phone to tether or find a 3G card to plug in to it so it can use cellular as oppose to just wifi, and then walk around with a laptop looking for the lost phone. And laptop don't have GPS, you don't know where you are relative to your lost phone.
3. You are trying to look for your iPhone from another iPhone (the most convenient way) but you only see ONE dot that shows your lost iPhone but not "you" who are walking around looking for it so you have to:
1.) Open the Find My Iphone app and then see where your phone is located
2.) Open up Google Map (sad but true, Google map is currently the preferable map) to find where you are. Why Google map? In a less developed country, google maps works a lot better in detail.
3.) Try to find where you are relative to where the lost phone is across 2 maps and 2 different apps. But even if it was Apple map, its still 2 different apps switching back and forth.
Yes, the idealistic case which would disregard all this is that you have 2 Apple devices logged on to the same iCloud account then you can see 2 dots but not everyone have enough of that to make it useful :-)
4. You use to have a send message button, lock the phone, make noise, and erase the phone. Now you need to first lock the phone before you can send a message. Understand that you should always lock the phone first but when you're panicking, making the feature obvious would help
5. Would be nice to know the "percentage" of the battery and being able to shut down all the apps, dim the screen, and etc. to maximize the battery time before the phone goes dead might be helpful.
It was almost a miracle to get the phone back in a place like this where people tend to immediately shut down your phone and throw away the sim card once they get a hold of it. My friend was very lucky that the phone was in silent and fell into the crack of the backseat and the cab was parked outside the garage so the GPS location was absolutely precise.
Having mentioned that, iOS7 new security feature that requires your Apple login credentials to erase or turn off Find my iPhone. My question here being it says, find my iphone can continue to display message even after erased - if that is the case will I still be able to track it as well? What if I'm the person who erased it remotely, will I still be able to display message as well as track it?

This is a user to user community, Apple are unlikely to read your comments, if you have any suggestions that you think might enhance iCloud you can send Apple your feedback here.
We also can't speculate on what exactly iOS 7's new security features will actually do, all that's available is what has been said so far by Apple, anyone using a developer version is forbidden to discuss it anywhere but in the developers community.

Feature Request where?
