Help Improve Premiere! FR: Option for "Nudge Clip Selection Up/Down" commands...

IF you've ever used the new nudge commands in PP CC to move video clips up or down a track, only to discover that their associated audio clips moved together by mistake...
and IF you've been dumbfounded by the fact that nudging a video clip UP a track number (e.g. V1 to V2) makes it's associated audio clip move DOWN a track number rather than UP a track in unison (e.g. A2 to A1)...
...Then this feature request is for you!
While some users might like the current behavior of these shortcuts, whereby selected video and audio clips are always nudged together in Opposite directions (Video nudged up a track = audio nudged down a track, and vice versa?!?), other users like myself don't! When I nudge video clips, I only want the video to move, not the audio, regardless of if the audio portions are also selected or not. If the clips I want to nudge are already selected with both video and audio, I don't want to have to take the extra step to reselect their video portions using the Alt-modifier before nudging.
Since different users require different workflows, how about Adobe let us the users decide if we want the new nudge shortcuts to work on just one or both portions of selected clips at a time?
Here's my official FR for this. Please copy/paste as your own FR or use it as a model for a request of your own. Every voice counts so if you agree that choice and logic is better, please let your voice be heard by Adobe!
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature: Option for "Nudge Clip Selection Up/Down" commands to only nudge Video or Audio at a time
How would you like the feature to work?
99% of the time I want to nudge video clips, I don't want their associated audio to move together. Of course users can Alt-select video clips, but this adds an extra keystroke and also an extra step if clips with audio were already selected.
A new checkbox option in the Preferences window could make these new commands much better, i.e.: 'Nudge Clip Selection Up/Down' shortcuts nudge both video and audio.
If checked, the behavior would be the same as it currently is, with the IMPORTANT EXCEPTION that video/audio clips would nudge in the Same LOGICAL Direction! (i.e Video nudged UP a track, V1toV2 = Audio nudged UP from A1toA2).
If UNchecked, using the commands on selected video clips with audio would only nudge the video portion while the cursor/mouse pointer is over any video track, and would only nudge the audio portion while the cursor is over any audio track. This would make it very easy for users to decide on a case by case basis what gets nudged, only the video or only the audio. Since 100% of the time a user lasso selects video clips, the cursor is already over the videos tracks, this solution would not require any additional steps for moving the cursor prior to nudging. Ditto for audio.
Why is this feature important to you?
These new nudge shortcuts are a great idea but with a bad implementation that leads to extra keystrokes, steps and mistakes. Giving users the option of how they want these new commands to work, and making them work logically (i.e. Video up a track = Audio up a track) would be the best way to address everyone's needs and workflow requirements!
The idea behind these new shortcuts is great and a welcome addition to Premiere CC. Unfortunately, the implementation is God-awful. Please send FRs of your own to help this get fixed asap!

Agreed, the term 'nudge' is technically incorrect and therefore confusing.
Dictionary.com's definition of nudge:
verb (used with object)
1. to push slightly or gently, especially with the elbow, to get someone's attention, prod someone into action, etc.
So to 'nudge' a clip up would be to move it up just 'slightly', not all the way up to the next track. 'Move to Higher/Lower Track' makes a lot more sense.
Jim, you say 'That is the way it should work'. If that's the way that works best for your workflow, great! For me, the way it should work is the way described in my FR. That's why I'm such a big proponent of Adobe giving us choices to decide what works best for our own workflows, so we can all be happy.
Please feel free to forward this FR to Adobe, if for nothing else, so that clips move up/down in the relative, not absolute sense as you aptly point out.

I don't think you can, but in the refine edge dialog you can use the contrast setting to get rid of most of the anti-alias.

Premiere Pro Crashes when Nudging Clip

Premiere Pro is crashing (spinning pinwheel forever... go for lunch...45-60min, come back, force quite, "PPro has encountered a serious error") during simple tasks such as "nudging" a clip in the timeline or clicking with the "razor" tool. This is destroying my productivity, any help appreciated. This is hapening on 2 different machines linking to the same set of media. Full system details below.
All Media is ProRes422(LT) stored on a AFP share drive. Both systems are setup with media cache files on the local drive, Murcury Playback Engine (CUDA).

Hi Scott. The reason I made those suggestions was because I had the same problem once. Nudging certain clips or moving audio keyframes resulted in an instant repeatable crash. This was because I imported the XML with audio automation from an FCP7 project. Stripping the audio keyframes cleared up the crashing issue. I just had to remix the whole short film. And Adobe also volunteered that they were seeing the same problems with stabilzation data.
I haven't seen much corruption on ProRes. My experience has mostly been with JPEGs and Long-GOP video.
I haven't done much cutting off a network; mostly just transcoding or exporting. But, no crashing ensued. However, you could rule that out by copying some of your footage locally, and see if you get the same crashing.
Before Corrupt Clip Finder, I had a "search and destroy" method for finding clip corruption. This goes back to my Avid days. The routine in the same: start isolating or taking half your media off line, and see if it still crashes. Keep taking footage off until the crashing stops. That tells you the corruption was in the last batch you took offline.
You can use the "Make Offline" feature in Pr without having to physically move anything. So, another thing you could try is to take all your media off line, and see if you get crashes by nudging clips. If so, that would implicate the project, and not the media.

Need help with EVENT BOOKING: option for multiple, payment (pay pal standard or pro only) add cost, etc

Hello!
I'm at my wits end: please help! It seems straight forward, and I sold my client on BC thinking this was doable in the events module, but it seems maybe not so without a ton of custom coding.
1. Book an event online,
with option for multiple (say 1-5 people at a fixed cost per person),
and checkout using only Pay Pal (standard or pro, doesn't matter, but I think Standard won't work without shopping cart).
2. The events are every day but Sunday all year long (just admission to an attraction), so is there a way to upload months in advance so they don't have to be manually entered?
I'm so grateful for any assistance.

This is all very achievable:
• Events you can add multiple people to book.
• PayPal you use use our APP that's in the BC Appstore (Liam to confirm is works with bookings)
I'm sales and marketing at Pretty, so I'm not the person to advise on how all this fits together. But I'm sure Liam can point you in the right direction.
If you need some consulting or us to do it for you just let me know [email protected]

Help with "greyed out" option for Publishing a group of Parameters in Motion 5!

How do you group published parameters in Motion 5, so that you don't have one giant list of published options for Final Cut Pro X?
My main goal is To publish a compound parameter (a parameter with nested subparameters)
Looking through Motion Help, it should be as easy as clicking the little disclosure triangle on the right of the inspector, but the word "Publish" is greyed out...

I know I've looked at rigging, but based off the Motion Help Online Manual, It should be as simple as clicking on the option for publish and have nested subparameters...
Rigging is excellent, but more steps would be needed to do the same thing i believe...

Is Apple or any App Developer planning on improving ONE HANDED options for iPhone 6 Plus?

On my new iPhone 6+ even with the "reachability" double tap of the button where the top screen drops down, I still find the keyboard and icons to the far left so out of reach I MUST use two hands :-(.
I may have to return the phone as I MUST be able to truly use it with one hand in many of my situations. But if App developers or Apple are planning to make a apps or options to make the 6 Plus truly usable with one hand, I will keep it for sure.
Example idea: Allow MULTIPLE options for what happens when one "double taps the button." Keep Option 1 the way it is now (the top scrolls down). Make Option 2 like this: the entire screen simply scales down into bottom right corner so it appears to be the same size in hand as the iPhone 5 screen--the keyboard, icons, status icons, etc. ALL scale down so you use it with ease like the 5. Double tap again and it enlarges to the full screen.
Does anyone know if any developer can make an app that can take over the button or does Apple restrict that only to themselves in which case are their rumors that they know this is an issue and plan to solve it?
Mike :-)

You didn't check all this out before you bought it? Yes, you should return it.

Windows 8/8.1 - No Option for "Install Updates and Shut Down"

We’ve got a handful of Windows 8 workstations and I’ve noticed that users don’t get the “Install Updates and Shut Down” option when they shut their systems down. Nor do they get the updates icon in the notification area.
Instead, all they get is the following message at the logon screen:
There is no way I can expect my users to do this.
I need to ensure that the updates are installed when the user shuts down.
There must be a way of configuring Group Policy to allow Windows 8 workstations to prompt to install updates when the user shuts down.
I cannot implement an option whereby updates are installed automatically without the user being aware. If updates start installing automatically then there is the potential for loss of work if a user is away from their desk for a long period of time and
their system just restarts to complete the installation.
Our current group policy settings are below. This works fine for the Windows 7 workstations.
I presume others have experienced this? Can anyone offer any guidance?
Thanks
Current Group policy settings:-
Client Computers Policy:-
Configure Automatic Updating – 3 – Auto download and notify for install
I don't work for Microsoft - I just use their products.

I am sorry but this is NOT an answer.
You're correct. It's not. Microsoft has some overzealous contractors who seem to think any response is "the answer". I've unmarked the post, because, in fact, it was merely "additional information" which may or may not have addressed the
original issue.
I, like the original poster, have several computers that do NOT offer 'Install Updates' in any of the power menus and definitely do NOT install the updates during either a restart or a shutdown.
Now *THAT* is an entirely *DIFFERENT* situation than what the Original Poster has offered here, so the appropriate thing for you to do is to start a NEW THREAD and fully describe the environment and symptoms of the problem and what you've done (if anything)
to try to identify, isolate, or remediate the undesirable behavior.
The PCs I have are Windows 8.1 installed from a partner copy of Windows 8 and upgraded.
I'm intrigued with this "partner copy of Windows 8" thing. Have you asked "the partner" what they customized in the installation image before you actually installed the product???
Can someone please offer a SOLUTION as opposed to parroting what SHOULD happen.
Not until you provide us with some actionable information. :-)

Help Improve Premiere! FR: Separate, maximizable Multi-camera view

Do you ever use Premiere CC's Multi-Camera tools? Then this FR is for you!
Please copy/paste as your own and send to https://www.adobe.com/go/wish/. Every voice counts!
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature: Separate windows for Multi-camera view and Program Monitor, with ability to tilde toggle to full screen either or both.
How would you like the feature to work?
The Multi-camera view and the Program Monitor should occupy separate, individually resizable and maximizable windows.
Why is this feature important to you?
The way these interface elements are currently squeezed into the same window is extremely limiting as far a viewing options. When the Multi-camera view is displayed, users can no longer do a full-screen preview of their edit, nor can they do a full screen preview of their multi-camera angles. This is unnecessarily restrictive. By putting the Multi-camera view in it's own window, and allowing it to be tilde maximized to full screen, users would have so much more flexibility for viewing their camera angles and their final edit while editing multi-camera sequences.

Hi Kevin,
I'm not sure how sticking the Multi-Camera View together with the Program Monitor does anything to clean up the interface. But supposing it does somehow, how can the person responsible for this change justify 'cleaning' the interface at the tremendous expense of functionally?
The current design simply isn't functional as already stated:
Full screen preview can't be used for the Program Monitor and/or the Camera Angles.
The Camera Angles can't be positioned and resized independently on their own monitor. Ditto for the Program Monitor.
How could the PP team miss this? Sorry to be brash, but it just baffles me how an entire team of adults can commit such an obvious gaffe. Perhaps they need to screen their ideas past real users, users like me that think outside the box and speak up when things don't work. For sure Adobe already does this, but it clearly isn't working, either because they're consulting the wrong people and/or they're getting the right feedback but aren't listening to it.
When I have to multicam edit on my laptop, I would LOVE to be able to display ONLY my camera angles in Full Screen. This would make each camera angle a usable size on a 17" laptop, and leave out any and all distracting interface elements (something helpful on any size monitor). After my initial edit is finished, I could then scale down my Multi-camera View and place it next to my Program Monitor above my Timeline to refine the edit. The current design makes this logical approach impossible.
I was REALLY hoping to see this fixed in 7.2. The problems with the current design are so painfully obvious to me, every single time I do multicamera editing. IMHO, it should also be obvious to anyone that trully understand video editing.
You wrote "this appeals to some and not to others.", but for the life of me, I can't see how this change could possible appeal to anyone (other than a sadist that gets pleasure out of seeing an editor's workflow getting screwed).

Air Help not a valid option for some projects?

RH9, multiple projects that are currently deployed as merged webhelp.
I opened the project we use as the 'parent' project and was able to change the output to Air, no problem. But when I try to open the other projects that we use as 'child' projects, it doesn't allow us to select Air. The option doesn't even display in the output drop-down.
Is there a setting we need to change? My understanding was that Air can do merged help projects and does them in the same manner as our existing format, Webhelp.

You are talking about browser based AIR help and you are saying that in RoboHelp 9 you are not seeing AIR as an option to create the layout?

Improved Metadata Storage option for Smart View

I have looked all through the manuals, but I cannot find any reference to the "Improved Metadata Storage" Smart View Option. Does anyone know what this option does and the Pros/Cons of using it?

Thank you for responding. I would like to resume having the "Save as PDF" option but the IE8 Browser is an older version and is unfortunately running slower and not well on some of the websites that need newer Browser versions. I checked out Chrome and don't like Firefox and still prefer the IE Browsers by comparison.
Is it very difficult for HP to add this handy feature back in a future HP SmartPrint release that is compatible with the IE Browser?
Thanks!

Need help with graphics card options for an early 2008 mac pro

Hello,
   I have an early 2008 mac pro with 2 x 3.2 GHz quad core Intel Xeon and 6Gigs of ram, currently running with an Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT with 512mb.
    It is also running 10.7.2.
   I would like to either add a video card on top of the one I am currently running or replace it completely if necessary.
   I do video editing on the Mac, no gaming and only a small amount of photoshop, and as the resolutions get larger I would like to have my machine keep up.
   My questions are,
     1. What cards would you the community suggest?
     2. Can I add a whole other card to my system or do I have to replace the current one?
     3. If I can hold two cards what special accomidations would be needed in regards to final cut performance if any?
    Thank you for any help you would like to give.
Rob

The two main cards for mac pros are the apple versions of the ATI Radeon 5770 and 5870.
The 5770 requires one aux power adaptor and the 5870 requires two. So generally you could only have one 5780 or two 5770's.
Video cards which don't require aux power should be able to coexist with these cards so log as it's all within the power supply maximums of course.

There is an option for your clip to transition your clip into grey, but I can never use it, what do I need to do to make that option work?

it's in dutch but I hope you can understand it, because everything is on the same place, so just open your iMovie '11 and check the exact place
please help!

You need to have automatic transitions turned off.
