My 2 cents on CS5.5
Hi all,
I'm new to this forum, but would describe myself as a very experienced user of Adobe Audition 1.5. I have recorded hundreds of sessions on it and have always thought it a wonderfully intuitive and simple interface for recording.
I've recently upgraded to CS5.5 and, with all respect to the developers, I must say I'm quite disappointed at a few major ommisions.
Firstly, what recording interface doesn't have a metronome?! This is a grave absence. Nearly every musician I work with will want a metronome track on at least a few of the songs they're recording.
Secondly, the looping functions are far less sophisticated in the new version. Clip duplicate is gone (a very handy function if you want to loop a sound that you've cut in the multitrack window that belongs to a longer series of sounds). But the actual looping function has lost its various stretching capabilities making it far harder to do sequencing work within the session window. This was a major tool for me in my sessions when building up arrangements around bands who have played to a metronome.
Thirdly, I'm really quite frustrated that I can't open older sessions with the new software. I had this same problem with AA3.0. Why can't you include a compatibility mode so I don't have to have three different versions of the one program on my machine? Seems pretty ridiculous to me, considering most software packages these days include compatibility functions. I think you should be showing some support to the people who have bought your older software and wish to have access to older sessions.
I've only recorded one session so far so need to dip my toes in a bit further, but if I can't find some solid work arounds I'm going to have to look into another interface.
cheers,
Adam
Welcome to the forum Adam,
You are not alone in having some angst with CS5.5 but pretty much all of this has been covered by the developers elsewhere in the forum.
That of course doesn't make the pain go away.
However, the points I'd like to address are:-
"Clip duplicate is gone"
That is not so it is still there it's just more flexible and accessed in other ways eg highlight a section of a clip and hold down the alt key while clicking on the top of the clip and you can drag a new instance of the clip. (sounds harder than it is).
"I'm really quite frustrated that I can't open older sessions with the new software. I had this same problem with AA3.0."
Again not so - AA3 can open all previous versions of ses files including CEP.
Additionally there is http://www.aatranslator.com.au/ses2sesx.html which should cover you here.
Be thankful you are not a Final Cut Pro X user where you pay twice the value of the upgrade just to export an OMF!
"so I don't have to have three different versions of the one program on my machine?"
Some users actually choose to do so and are relieved that Audition allows this rather than overwriting previous versions.
I used to love AA1.5 and resisted the urge to move to AA2 and then AA3 but I just couldn't live without xfades now. Sure it was a quantum leap in getting used to it but it was worth it. I suspect (and this is not directed at yourself) that CS5.5 compared to AA1.5 in many ways is a bit like giving a time machine to Java Man. By that I mean conceptually its hard but in reality its just a matter of a different approach (sure there is no getting around funtionality that you need that is yet to be implemented).
"I think you should be showing some support to the people who have bought your older software "
As a developer myself you have to consider the cost of supporting software that is what 10 years old?
If it was me and my customers either couldn't be bothered or didn't want to spend the upgrade money or even if they are happy with the old version there is a limit to catering for those customers as opposed to catering for the needs of those who continue to support your product by upgrading.
I guess a line has to be drawn somewhere especially when somethings don't necessarily have logical conversions into later versions.
"but if I can't find some solid work arounds I'm going to have to look into another interface."
And really this applies to every user of every daw - if the daw you are using doesn't do it for you then you need to find one that does.
I've been down that path also and while I'll use another daw to convert my midi drums when required I would rather dig my eye out with a spoon than use it over AA.
This is just my two bobs worth not that my two bobs worth is worth any more than anyone else's ;-)
Hang in there if you can.

How do you select the center of a box in CS5?
I notice in CS5 that you can no longer select a box - say a picture box - click on the center and snap it to a guide or move to a location. You can only grab the edge of the box to move it. I'm sure this is a vast improvement but I don't like it. Is there a pref to turn on or off to be able to select an object at it's center? Thx.
Hmmm. ID doesn't put the old center dot in a frame anymore, at least not most of the time, but the center should still be snapping, regardless of where you grab the frame. I'm not seeing any necessity to grab the edge (though if you have the content grabber turned on it's not difficult to accidentally move the content instead of the frame). What are you seeing?

How to center web page made in indesign cs5
Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum and I hope I'll get help, because I need it
I've made a web page in indesign cs5, exported in SWF and generated HTML.
My swf file looks good, but my html file is not centered, web page is positioned
in upper left corner, and I want it to be in the center.
How can I put it there?
Thnx very much!
HrestaI know ID is not the best option for a website, but I need it that way.
I know html/css, but my generated html file contains javascript which
I'm not familiar with :/
There's no div so I don't know where to put my auto margins?
Simply on top of the html file?
Thnx anyway!! -
NEED HELP. Created Website Template in Photoshop CS5, but cant center it into Dreamweaver CS6
I created a website layout template in Photoshop cs5 once i opened it into Dreamweaver i was trying to Align it to Center but it would not go center still stays to the left. I know that something is not right i am missing something and i am new to this not much experience with Dreamweaver, can someone please tell me how to fix this issue in a way a beginner would understand, i greatly appreciate the help.
Did you export HTML from PShop? Graphics apps generated code is not suitable for real web pages. It's really only acceptable for quick comps to show the client before you undertake the real work of building the layout in DW with HTML & CSS code.
To center pages, you need 3 basic things.
A valid doc type declaration on the first line of your code.
A stated width in px, % or ems.
A margin-left and margin-right of auto.
Copy & paste this code into a new, blank document in DW. Save and preview in browsers.

I purchased adobe flash pro cs5.5 from a distribution center in Utah with "Only for dist. in Asia Pa
Why does the box have an "Only for distribution in Asia Pacific and Japan" sticker on the side if I purchased it from a distribution center in Utah? Can I still use it? What are the differences?
Would it be possible for you to post your solution to the problem here?
I am having the same problem with CS5.5

Click to change rotational center broken in CS5?
In CS4, I could click anywhere inside a frame or shape to instantly change the center of rotation to the point where I clicked. Now it seems I must click the center point and drag it to where I want it. This is driving me CRAZY! Anyone got a workaround?

[none] on center of page when printing from CS5
All of the sudden a [none] is printing accross everything I print from CS5. There is no error message and the print goes through without a problem.
I can print from MS word and other programs without a problem. I'm printing to an HP3800 and my OS is Win7.
Any help would be appreciated!I did the ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting photoshop. I also uninstalled the only plugin I had installed.
Below is the last bit of information from the Help -> System Info....
Plug-ins that failed to load: NONE
Flash:
Mini Bridge
Kuler
Access CS Live

Guess it could be a font issue. What do you reccomend for font validation (OS win7)? Found this info on MS website. http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fontvalidator.mspx
NOTE: The proof I am currently trying to print is flat....
UPDATE: I am able to print the same document from CS6 on a mac without issue. -
How do you center an oval inside an oval CS5
I made an oval. Then I copies and pasted an oval. I selected the lower right had corner of the square around the oval. I drag the corner inward to keep it porportional (I hope this is correct) to the first oval. Now I want to center the smaller oval inside the larger oval. I want to have the distance the same all around the smaller oval. I then plan to type in the area between the two ovals.
thanks
MikeYou can also use a combination of SmartGuides and Rulers as well as default objects such as the Rectangle Tool which have Center Points to get the center once you apply the rulers using smart guides.

Pasting from illustrator to the center of Photoshop CS5.5
Hi, I have an illustrator file (various circles and half circles) built with various layers, I would like to copy and past these layers into photoshop and change them to a shape layer, but when copying each layer and pasting the vector falls in slightly different place to the illustrator file, how can I keep the postion the same as the illustrator?
thanksScripting might have provided a solution – but writing the Script might have taken more time than doing it like this.
So unless the task is a very frequent one for you it’s probably not worth the trouble. -
How to see html code in a php file using CS5.5 without using testing server?
In CS5.5 when I open a page with php extention, DW does not show any html code in design view without me having to set up a testing server. In DW 8 it would open the same files and show me the html in design view. I have no need to test php code, I just need to alter the html. Is there a setting I can change to enable this in CS5.5? Thanks.
Below is the code. I discovered that if I create a new php document not from
a template, then I can see the html elements in design view. If I create a
new page from a template and save it as html, design view still works, but
if I save a new page from template and save it as php, I only see symbols
for php and nothing else in design view.
Thanks for your help on this.

/* ~~ These are the columns for the layout. ~~
1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the divs. The elements
within these divs have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box
model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div
itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total*
width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div
and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for
your design.
2) No margin has been given to the columns since they are all floated. If
you must add margin, avoid placing it on the side you're floating toward
(for example: a right margin on a div set to float right). Many times,
padding can be used instead. For divs where this rule must be broken, you
should add a "display:inline" declaration to the div's rule to tame a bug
where some versions of Internet Explorer double the margin.
3) Since classes can be used multiple times in a document (and an element
can also have multiple classes applied), the columns have been assigned
class names instead of IDs. For example, two sidebar divs could be stacked
if necessary. These can very easily be changed to IDs if that's your
preference, as long as you'll only be using them once per document.
4) If you prefer your nav on the right instead of the left, simply float
these columns the opposite direction (all right instead of all left) and
they'll render in reverse order. There's no need to move the divs around in
the HTML source.

Hi!
I just tried to update my Adobe Creative Suite to Adobe CC. I have a registered CS5.5 Master Collection from 2012 that I bought while studying (Students Edition).
On the Adobe Website I can choose the CC as a special offer and a price o 35,69€ per year. When my Serial is checked they say that I'm not allowed to use this special offer.
Does anybody know what's the problem? Can't I use the special offer with the old serial of a student's edition?
Thank's for your help!
Best!!!No. Student licenses cannot be used per the terms and conditions...
from: Terms and Conditions | Adobe
"Eligible customers may purchase an Adobe® Creative Cloud™ Complete Membership with annual commitment for a reduced price. Offer valid for purchases of an annual plan, which requires a 12-month contract. This offer is only available to customers who own a Creative Suite edition or individual product in one of the following versions (CS3.x, CS4, or CS5.x, or CS6), and who purchase directly from the Adobe Store or by calling a regional Adobe Call Center. This offer is not available to Education, OEM, or volume licensing customers." -
Is there a shortcut to center-align all items of a certain type only?
I know the title of this thread is poorly worded; I apologize. Let me try to explain.
I design transit schedules, which I create in InDesign using tables. These schedules list arrival times for bus stops, but when the bus does not stop at a particular stop, this is indicated by an em dash.
Example:
The times are left-aligned within the columns (they are aligned on the colon). However, the em dashes are center-aligned. Currently, the entire table is left-aligned by default, and I manually highlight and center-align the em dashes. When there are just a few em dashes or when the em dashes are all adjacent to each other, it's no big deal.
But I often have to work with schedules in which the em dashes are in every other row (like the top half in the example above) or scattered throughout the table, and in those cases, my very manual method is a real pain in the neck—I have to highlight and center each em dash individually.
What I would LOVE to find is a feature similar to the Find and Replace feature, in which I could essentially ask InDesign to Find all em dashes within the document and center align them only. I've searched for such a feature to no avail. Am I overlooking something, or is this just not possible in InDesign? And if it's not possible, can you think of a better and more efficient way of center-aligning the em dashes than my current method?
FYI, I'm still using InDesign CS3, though I hope to upgrade soon. If I learn that a Find and Align type of feature is available in CS5, well—that's just more motivation for me to upgrade ASAP!
Thanks for your help and input.It can be solved through find and change itself. I think the below image will clarify your requirement.

Swf previews in browser and doesn't work on server after upgrade from cs3 to cs5
I have upgraded from CS3 to CS5. My site uses a template created in dreamweaver 8. When I edit a page and embed a .swf file created in flash cs5, it doesn't work on my server, but works on my computer when I 'test in browser'. I have uploaded all the files in the 'scripts' directory. I am streaming video. I have tried using both actionscript 2.0 and 3.0 and streaming .flv and .f4v. None work.
I have a big site and do not wan't to redo my template unless I absolutely have to.

<!-- InstanceEnd --></html>It's not 100% clear from your post, but you should be aware that CS5 plugins should not work in CS5.5. Because of a CS5.5 bug, CS5 plugins will load in InDesign 7.5.0, but that is fixed in 7.5.1 so they will not load.
You should lean a bit harder on Virginia Systems. They should be able to tell you how to get them the stack trace from the crash which they should be able to look at and tell you which plugin (if any) is responsible for the crash. I could do it for Mac OS X but I don't know how under Windows. You could start by looking at the Event Viewer, though. That may have some helpful information about the crashes and the faulting module. -
CS5.5 Gripes/CS6 Wish List (from the perspective of an FCP switcher)
I have been a Final Cut Pro user for more than 10 years (starting with version 1.2 on a 500 MHz G4). Final Cut Pro X is a disaster, but that’s a well-covered topic for a different forum. After experimenting with Premiere Pro CS5.5 for a few months, I am ready to make the switch for all of my future projects.
I make a living editing video. I don’t, however, work for a big company, and I don’t have a lot of money to spend on third-party software or hardware. Much of my work is shot on DSLRs and delivered online. That may put me in the category of “pro-sumer” to some, but I wouldn’t be making the switch if I didn’t require a more professional alternative to FCPX to do my job.
I also don’t think “pro” has to be synonymous with clunky and ugly. (I’m looking at you, Avid.) When Final Cut was young, it was fun, intuitive, and sturdy. It became a robust, professional NLE over time. I think Premiere Pro is on that path now.
I like the look, the feel, and the functionality of CS5.5. It’s not quite Apple-slick, but it’s very much at home on a Mac. Overall, it’s an upgrade to FCP7 and a very strong alternative to FCPX. I have high hopes for CS6.
But this is not a comprehensive review. It is just a list of negatives: my gripes, wishes, and personal preferences. My list of positives would be much longer, but my concern right now is with CS6 and the improvements that I hope it delivers. As I am new to Premiere, it's quite possible that I am mistaken about certain functionalities or lack thereof, but I thoroughly researched each point in the help docs and forums before posting this.
My primary system is a 3.2 GHz iMac 21” (2010) with 8 GB RAM, 512MB VRAM (ATI Radeon HD), running Mac OS X 10.7 with external Firewire 800 drives and a DisplayPort-to-HDMI external display.
MAJOR ISSUES
Hardware acceleration support for ATI GPUs
There are rumors that Apple will be switching back to nVidia, but all recent iMacs have ATI and only ATI cards.
Background rendering (or at least improved rendering options)
Background rendering is probably FCPX’s most impressive feature and Adobe needs to catch up. However, even if true background rending can’t be achieved, there should be an auto-render option (after a set idle time), partial rendering (if you cancel a render, keep everything that has been rendered up until that point), and more render options (e.g. render all and render selected). Regarding that last point, I think the whole work area concept should be dropped. It makes sense for other apps, particularly for animation, but it just gets in the way of more important timeline functions while offering little functionality beyond being a clumsy way to control the area to be rendered. At the very least, have a way to hide it.
Full-screen preview
Maximizing the program frame just isn’t the same (although the grave accent key function may be reason enough to switch to Premiere). Full-screen preview isn’t just a nifty function for demo-ing sequences. It’s a big part of the way I work.
DisplayPort/Thunderbolt out to HDMI
It may be that a third-party card is required for proper color correction on an external display, but there’s no reason this feature shouldn’t exist.
Thumbnail images/show frames bug
This one drives me crazy. I’ve tested this on 3 different Mac systems with various hardware configurations. Thumbnail images in the bins and frame images in the timeline seem to be recreated every time a project is opened, even though the thumbnail image files in the media cache folder don’t actually appear to get rewritten. It’s as if there is no cache at all (even for the most recently viewed bins and timelines segments). It can’t be an intentional functionality for saving hard drive space because the cache files continue to take up more and more space.
Open multiple projects simultaneously
I know that you can cut and paste between projects but being able to open multiple projects at the same time is a very useful feature of FCP7.
Magic Mouse/Magic Trackpad scrolling
Premiere Pro is a cross-platform system and impressively so, but there need to be a few Mac-specific interface adjustments, the most important of which is support for the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad scrolling. I use a Magic Mouse. (It’s an irritating device sometimes, but once you get used to it, it’s hard to live without it.) When I’m in a window, I expect a flick up or down to scroll up or down -- in every situation, every time, including the timeline. Unless I stop using all other Mac apps, I will never get accustomed to the timeline suddenly flying left or right when I want to scroll up or down. Also, here’s a chance for Adobe to fix a problem that FCP7 shared: When you scroll up or down in the effect control window using the mouse, the drop-down effect controls sometimes twirl all over the place if the mouse happens to float over them. As it is, it very easy to throw settings into random disarray without even realizing it just by scrolling through the pane.
The timeline: selection indication, icons, and general improvements
It is very difficult to discern at a glance what, if anything, is selected in the timeline. Transitions always look selected! Audio tracks should be a different color or otherwise more distinct. There should be an option to show frames only without any text. The icons for track options are small, crowded, and ugly. Some of the editing icons are too similar, namely edit and ripple edit, although the excellent status bar at the bottom of the application goes a long way towards making up for this. Simply put, the timeline could use some polish. Don’t be afraid to steal from Apple on this one. Keep the tracks; just make it easier on the eyes!
Conforming audio
The ability of CS5.5 to work natively with DSLR footage is awesome, but it’s not fully DSLR native if it has to pre-render a major component of the footage before it can play, even if it’s just the audio.
Media loading
When launching a project, it can take a long time for all the media in the project to “load” as tracked in the status bar. I’m sure there’s a reason for this, but since the program is able to determine which source media files are missing before this step (and gives you the option to reconnect them), what is it doing and why must it load every clip in the project, even those not in use by any sequences?
Page up/page down and arrow key commands
For starters, the current page up/page down key functions should take the CTI to the next cut in the sequence, not the next cut in the track that happens to be targeted, which can be way down timeline. In FCP7, I frequently navigated cut to cut with the up and down arrow keys. I’ve avoided customizing the keyboard commands to match FCP7 -- I would rather endure some hardship and learn the proper Adobe commands -- but this one is flat-out backwards. The page up/down keys should page through the timeline (left to right and right to left), while the up and down arrow keys should take over the clip to clip function (assuming the targeted track issue is fixed). Currently, the down arrow takes you to the very end of the timeline, a function already duplicated by and better suited for the “end” key.
Bin management and clip relationships
Deleting an item from a bin should not delete it from the timeline, but this is part of a bigger problem, which is the whole master file versus instance versus subclip versus dup clip thing. There aren’t any good indicators regarding the relationships of these clips, and there are few ways to adjust them. If clips are going to be connected, then they should be fully connected. For instance, changing the name of a clip in the bin should change it in the timeline. Adding an effect or trimming should affect the corresponding clips between bin and timeline. Otherwise, the clips should just be completely separate instances. I haven’t been able to find an option to turn a clip into an independent instance, although I have to think it exists. Also, editing an instance of a title does change every other instance of that title throughout the sequence. I would prefer to be able to edit them separately without having to duplicate them in the title editor.
Bin effects
Related to the above, it should be possible to add effects to clips in bins or keep effects on clips added to bin from timeline. It would also be nice to be able to group effects together in bins for a specific project. The effects window is better suited for global collections.
Clearer visual indicators that a clip has been adjusted in the effect controls panel
Even with the effects panel visible, you have to take a close look to see if there have been any adjustments to the standard settings. An indicator on the clip in the timeline itself would be useful.
Snapping should include the CTI
It should also include the blade tool, although the Cmd-K option to cut at the CTI position does make this less of an issue.
Smoother scrubbing
Scrubbing is pretty awful. While this is understandable with native footage, FCPX somehow manages to make this silky smooth at full resolution.
Color correction shape mask and better color correction in general
Simplify the primary functions of the 3-way color correction effect. Keep all the rarely used adjustments out of the way. I use Magic Bullet for some purpose, but I’ve always done most of my color correction within FCP. Put the most common adjustments front and center (or up top, as it may be). The highlights/mid-tone/shadows drop-down is inconsistent in what controls it pertains to.
FCPX’s color correction is actually one of its more underrated features. The way it allows you to layer corrections is dead-simple yet as powerful as anything in FCP7 or Premiere. Stick with the 3 wheels, but rely less on hard to control tonal ranges and add simple keyframe-able shape masks for secondary color correction.
Better support for shared media access
AVID is king in this arena and Adobe needs to improve. It should be possible for multiple editors to safely work on the same project files and share media over a server.
MINOR ISSUES
More vertically compact playback/edit control area in source and program panes
Make room for either a taller timeline or bigger previews. The virtual scrubber and shuttle controls are the nifty things you drag with the mouse the first time you ever use an NLE and never touch again.
Larger icons in icon view
Remember size and position of bin windows
Playback resolution setting indicator
There should be an always-visible indicator of the playback res setting in the preview pane that’s easy to adjust without right-clicking.
Better markers for sequences and clips
Include colors and more keyboard shortcut control.
Clip sliding with keyboard commands
“Opt-,” (that’s Option-comma) should cause a clip collision, not overwrite. Either that, or “,” and “.” should slide, while “Opt-,” should overwrite. Opt-arrow should only extend an adjoining clip if in the middle of two clips. Basically, this whole arrangement should be re-thought.
Project browser should auto refresh/sort.
Option-drag on a Mac should always be copy, not move.
Copy is currently command-drag in the project browser.
Stop auto-save from interrupting adjustments in timeline.
Ideally, the auto-save should just be a background function, but it should at least wait until you’re not in the middle of dragging something.
Add ability to select a cut directly and add default transition.
CTI control
If you move the CTI while it’s in play mode, it should continue to play from that spot after you release the mouse, not stop there.
Show number of frames being adjusted during keyframe adjustments.
Enable/disable specific effect parameters/keyframes.
Clearing an effect should clear keyframes as well.
Or have an option to clear both.
Position controls
There should be a preference to make the default position 0.0 x 0.0 (as opposed to 50% of whatever the resolution happens to be), and include a reset button.
Through-edit indicator in timeline
And a quick way to join clips, such as a right-click menu option.
Border controls for images
Auto save location preference and functionality
In FCP7 I set the number of auto saves to keep to the maximum of 100 and Premiere can go even higher. I have always used this feature as an additional backup and archive system, which has come in very handy. Those files add up, however. So, I prefer to auto-save to an external drive. Also, auto saves in Premiere continue to occur whenever there are unsaved changes. This means that if you make a small adjustment and then leave Premiere for a while, it will keep auto saving the same iteration, which is not only inefficient but leads to my next point….
Tame the bouncing dock icon on auto save
While using other apps, there’s no need for the dock icon to bounce every time Premiere performs an auto save.
More/clearer control over cache locations
There should also be an option to reset the cache/render file locations to their defaults.
Export source range
When exporting, remember the last-used setting of the export source range (or just dump the whole work area thing as I previously suggested). It’s too easy to cut off a portion of the video when the export defaults back to the work area every time.
Larger timecode display
After spending hours and hours editing, the current timecode for clips and sequences is something you want to be able to track without squinting. Use the letters h,m,s and f instead of colons.
Simple slug
Creating a black matte works okay, but it involves a few extra steps.
Snapping toggle
FCP allows you to quickly toggle snapping while dragging a clip. Upon releasing the clip, the snap toggle returns to its original state. Premiere could use this fucntion, but I suggest something simpler. Holding down the “S” key should always turn snapping on regardless of toggle state, while releasing it returns it to however it was set before.
Ability to dock the audio meters along top
I like to give my timeline as much horizontal space as possible. I’ve noticed a lot of users keep the toolbar up there, myself included. I think it would be a good place horizontally aligned audio meters as well.
More detailed tool tips or hover explanations in preferences
For example: The options regarding XMP data should make it clear that the original files will be modified by Premiere. This caused me problems in other applications. (After researching these settings, I understand that various Adobe applications use this information to share resources, but it’s still very unclear what the specific benefits are or what functions are lost without this option.)
More detailed support documents
The online support documents on the Adobe site very good. They are nicely arranged and easy to search, but they could be more detailed and offer fuller explanations. (Peruse the support forums and you will discover all kinds of debates that could have been easily cleared up with one concise line in a help document.)
Icons and button design
Icons and buttons are often too small, too similar, and too crowded throughout the interface. Take some style tips from Apple on this one.
NEW FEATURE WISH LIST
Footage auto-analysis: shot recognition, color correction, and color match
If only Apple had just added these features and others to the FCP7 framework. Adobe can do it better though, by using smart folders in addition to the traditional bins that we know and trust (anything besides those dreadful iMovie-style “events”).
Effect previews
In the 64-bit era, there has to be a quicker way to preview effects.
Ability to render in alternate formats
Namely ProRes or DNxHD. This would save me considerable time on exports by allowing me to select the “use preview files” option.
PluralEyes functionality
Okay, I suppose I should just purchase PluralEyes...again.
Many, many more effects!
How about starting with the missing vignette effect? Just because an app is “pro” doesn’t mean you should have to custom build every effect.
Many, many more looks!
Will most of them be cheesy looks I would never touch? Sure...but give me some templates to play with before I tweak the look down to my exact specifications.
More speed!
FCPX, for all its flaws, blazes on any modern Mac. This probably comes back to hardware acceleration, but while Premiere Pro on a Mac isn’t slow, it doesn’t blow you away.You hit the nail on the head, Peter.
I recently started giving Premiere Pro CS5 a try, and was shocked by the amount of bugs and usability issues. I'm not even going as deep as you in the features, but the most glaring evidence of the lousy interface is that timecode offset bubble that appears everytime you move a clip in the timeline... the bugger appears just under your mouse pointer and won't go away, so if you try to just move a clip down a track quickly, and let go of the button ONTO the bubble, it acts as an obstacle and your drag/drop fails ! seriously, Adobe... don't tell me nobody has stumbled upon this one during beta-testing ?
Ditto on the autosave that basicly interrupts anything you're doing. No background saving in 2011 ? At first it bothered me to no end so I disabled the autosave. And then a few hours later, Premiere crashed, and didn't even try to recover my work. I lost 2 hours of intricate work. I put autosave back on, and learned to endure the constant, annoying save dialog. And it's not like the save process is instant... even the simplest of projects takes 5 to 10 seconds to save... on an SSD... come on... let me work already...
Of course, a headache-inducing implementation wouldn't be complete if the autosave didn't trigger even 30 seconds after a manual save. If I choose an interval of 5 minutes, just autosave 5 minutes after a manual save !
In thumbnail view, you can reorder the clips manually. It's all fine, but you can't reorder them by name or date or length, unless you switch to list view and of course, lose the thumbnails.
Dragging and dropping a clip in thumbnail view is a chore, because the palette doesn't scroll when the mouse reaches the edge. You know, when you want to move something at the top all the way to the bottom... so you have to drag, let go, scroll one screen, drag, let go, scroll one screen... it's a joke. Even the timeline can do it. Heck, it's a software standard, nowadays.
Renaming a clip and pressing ENTER takes you back to... the top of the folder !?! How many times I've renamed files that were at the end of the thumbnail view, and for each clip, I had to scroll back down. Time waster.
Want to locate a clip from the timeline, in the project ? the locate function takes you to the folder. But not to the file, you have to navigate towards it manually.
Ditto on the up/down arrows. I haven't found a way to jump from cut to cut like in FCP7. How often do I need to jump to the starting/ending points ? much less often than jumping to a nearby cut.
How come I can't reorder filters in the effects pane ? sorry, I can actually reorder the filters... provided I take them from the bottom and move them up. Moving effects down doesn't work. It's driving me crazy.
Conforming happens more or less anytime. Without reason. And even if the Media Cache is already full of conformed files.
When moving the boundaries of the work area, no timecode/offset appears. You need to let go of the button and THEN hover, then you'll know the exact time/duration.
Try scrolling up in the timeline, it scrolls to the left (which is stupid, it should scroll up). Now scroll up on the tabs of a palette : they scroll to the right !?!
Can't select an active track. Direct consequence : copy-pasting a clip overlaps anything that's on track 1. Say I want to duplicate clips on the same track... I can't do it.
Copy-pasting between projects doesn't keep the transitions, only the order of the clips.
Have you tried doing a frame freeze on a reversed clip and setting proper in/out points for the freeze ? Good luck.
"Duplicate" command, when you right click on a thumbnail, is way too far from the cut/copy/paste commands at the top, even though they're quite related.
The other day I transcoded footage with different audio parameters. Just the audio had changed. Upon opening the project, Premiere wanted me to locate the files, which I did. And it failed miserably. Instead, I opened the project ignoring the missing files, and then re-linked them. I pointed Premiere at the first missing file, and had to confirm the replacement. Premiere saw all the other missing files in that folder, and began prompting me FOR EACH SINGLE FILE !!! two hundred and forty three of them, precisely. Can't I have a "yes to all" button in 2012 ? and why does the relinking work inside the project and not when you open a project ?
That was just from 3 days with Premiere Pro CS5. I still can't believe it. Just to think people bashed Final Cut Pro X, praising Premiere in comparison... Sorry, but they both have serious issues. And Premiere doesn't even have the excuse of novelty. -
I cannot update Photoshop CS5, Bridge Extended after a fresh reinstall.
It's running in 32 and 64, but there's all these quirks.Like Bridge crashing in 64 but not 32. Raw also.The ATI Radeon5450 is often problematic (not capable of Open GL) In fact, I've been unable to work for a month now. Also, I can't tell if I've got Extended, I tried a downloaded install as well as from my original disk.
Here's what I have (Sorry about the size, I didn't know what might help)
