P Pro CS5 lack of good third party support (transitions)

As a long time editor on Avid DS and a recent user of FCP, I am very  impressed with a lot of what I saw today after installing CS5 upgrade on  my Mac Pro. Lots of speed...good dynamic linking to AE (BIG SELLER).
But I am underwhelmed with the third party support, specifically in  the area of transitions. Granted FCP has lots of tacky choicss, but FX  Factory has lots of things that are quite cool(film flare  transitions,etc) There is nothing out there to supplement the very  vanilla wipes and dissolves in Premiere Pro from the extensive searching  I have done. Its a shame that such a powerful NLE is so limited in this  respect...otherwise its a real winner from my first exploration.

dradeke,
That's ok, but why just remove and not add new effects/transitions?
Why not adding effects similar to those included in magic boolet looks, vitascene, or newblue?
And why not 'dip to color' instead of dip to black/dip to white?
Why not adding 'Options' to right click to set defaults? Something like this:
Other than effects:
Why PSD is rendered?
Why not adding 'Auto extend' to right click on work area bar? Once you move manually in or out there is no way to set it to automatically extend when new clips are added to timeline.
'Render only selected clips' will be useful too.

  • Are there any good third party or otherwise apps and/or plugins for imovie'11?

    Are there any good third party or otherwise apps and/or plugins for imovie'11?

    Re: Plugins for iMovie 11
    Someone just asked this question yesterday. So I am cutting and pasting the answer From Bengt Warleby
    Hi
    You can not.
    Nor to iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - They do not accept any Plug-ins.
    How about FinalCut Pro X - I don't know but i regard to Apple way of progress - I doubt
    For iMovie up to HD6 and FinalCut Express and FinalCut Pro up to 7.0 - there are plenty.

  • Burning a Premiere CS5.5 project using third party software

    HI All. Maybe you can help me. I have just spent a few days creating a promotional video, a pretty simple one using audio from SonicFire, transions and titles from the title maker in Premiere. No fancy stuff from Adobe After Effects, only Premiere Pro CS5.5. It is under six minutes long. I sent it to Encore using the dynamic link like I usually do, clicked the Build button and it started. A moment later it told me "Encode Failed". I have no idea why and it seems after scouring the forum, no one else does either. Could be anything they say and then a bunch of grumbling about poor support. I agree. Anyway, someone mentioned third party software to burn the project with, but I have not been able to find anything that says there software is compatible with Premiere. I really don't want to have to go back and do the whole thing again, hours and hours and hours. This is the first time this has happened and the first project that I really, truley wanted to burn to a dvd as it is a promotional video of an invention of mine that I want to market. It is perfect on the project monitor and plays just like I would like it to play on a DVD, but  DAAAAA! What am I to do? I even thought of videoing the project window with my camera, but I don't think that would look very good. Can anyone give me a hand here. Spark, on the coast in Northern California. I will send a pre-appreciation to anyone who can help. Thanks

    Thanks you Ann. I have review the link and have answered the
    questions that it suggests. I hope this helps you help me. Have patience.
    I’m using Premiere Pro with all updates up to date.
    I’m using Windows 7 64bit.
    All the footage is from a Panasonic PV GS36 mini DV camcorder. Just a
    little $300 one and whatever codecs that are involved with that.
    Full text of error message is: “Encode Fail”
    When the problem occurred I was trying to burn it to a DVD using Encore
    5.1.0.342 version.
    I’ve only burned several projects to DVD, but it has always worked before.
    I have never created such a complicated project with so many clips and
    transitions and titles. Three video tracks and three audio tracks. The
    audio is royalty free music from Sonicfire Pro5.
    I have all kinds of software on my computer, Cyberlink, Kodak, LG, Paragon,
    Smartsound and on and on.
    No third party effects or anything like that that I know of.
    Whe I look under General/Scratch Disks, the Mercury playback engine is
    grayed out in the general window, so I don’t know if I’m using it or not.
    The project plays just as it should in the project window.
    These are the answers to the questions that I found on the link that Ann
    sent me. So if there are any other questions I will be happy to research
    them and get back to you with the best answers I can come up with. I’m
    coming direct from Premiere 6.0 to Pro CS5.5 and I’m old and slow with a
    slipping memory, but I wan to learn this. And please don’t tell me that I
    should hire a professional. I don’t need to hear that. Totally
    unproductive. Thanks for your efforts so far.  Spark

  • Logic Pro 9.1.1 AU third-party plug-ins ongoing issue for many

    Where is the Logic development team on this? Nearly all third-party AU plug-ins produce random pops and clicks at the beginning of playback and on occasion randomly during playback but before audio regions in tracks with these plug-ins installed. These pops and clicks are even visible in the track's meter. http://www.gearslutz.com/board/music-computers/482381-logic-3rd-party-plugs-pop- click-nightmare-how-does-rest-world-do.html How many people need to complain? Is Logic Pro considered production software?

    I can't imagine a more textbook and apple-friendly environment than what I have. 32-bit is not the problem. I don't believe logic runs at 64 until you're on os 10.6 and I'm still on 10.5.8. My entire rig is what you'd see in an apple store logic demo. I've tried nearly everything:
    1) All standard optimization tips including but not limited to no date/time updates, no airport/wi-fi, no bluetooth
    2) I have a ultra high-quality external fw drive by G-drive
    3) Standard issue ensemble with updated firmware
    4) Moving AU component files from system library to user library
    If you look at the number of people commenting on the GS thread as well as other forums – the problem is common and needs to be fixed. I'm not the only logic user plagued by this issue:
    http://www.logicprohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=43306
    http://www.logicprohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=50030
    I really believe it has something to do with how many third-party plug-ins handle AU's reset or initialize callbacks; somewhere in between. This bug is clearly affecting many users and I'm coming close to starting a petition and devoting some serious time to making a big dorky stink about it on youtube.
    Either the AU spec needs to be updated to clarify some tricks (or hacks) specific to Logic's on-demand DSP usage or the logic team needs to publish a notice to all "Logic" AU developers. Optionally, if Logic had a preference to turn OFF on-demand AU DSP (so that plug-ins are always-on like in every other DAW or...ugh...outboard gear). Logic's on-demand AU DSP handling is outdated considering the processing power available in ANY apple computer made within the last 3 years. My CPU meter in Logic barely even lights up. On-demand DSP is overkill and antiquated and the least Logic can do is provide production or mission-critical users the ability to opt-out if they have the CPU power to do so.
    Having said all that; I hope I'm wrong about something and can come back here to eat my words and feel very embarrassed about my rant. I'm going to keep digging for solutions – hopefully, I'll find out the secret to whatever it is the few of you are doing to keep your third-party AU plugs quiet before an audio region starts.
    Also; Scott at Stillwell Audio has graciously begun trying to track down this very issue and is one of the few DSPers who has taken interest in helping Logic folk.

  • CS5 Trial Version: are third party plugins allowed?

    I'm just considering an upgrade from Elements on recommendation that CS5 will provide better colour and page size control on my Canon iPF5000 - there is a Canon plugin that supports CS5 (they claim!).
    So downloaded the trial CS5 version and installed the Canon plugin according to the docs in ./plugins/import-export. No matter what I do I cannot get Photoshop to list the plugin, so I have no idea if it's actually being recognised or not. Unfortunately Canon don't seem to provide any documentation, so I've no idea what to expect.
    I've been told that trial versions don't support plugins - is this correct?
    OS is 10.5.

    The trial does support third party plugins.
    If the plugin is not written for 64 bits, then it will only be available if you switch Photoshop to run in 32 bits addressing mode.

  • What is a good third party display to use with the Mac Mini?

    The Acer monitor I bought simply doesn't work with my first generation Mac-Mini. When connected to the VGA connection I get a "input not supported" message. When I connect the DVI, the screen blacks out when I scroll and then comes back, at first I thought it was just with Firefox but soon discovered it was with any application I used. After some research on the internet I discovered that there is a problem with the firmware design on the DVI's on Acer Monitors. My new Acer monitor is enjoying it's new home in my sisters office, on her desk, connected to the VGA plug on her computer, enjoying Windows XP.
    At another web site for the Mac-Mini I was told that there are not that many displays that work for the Mac-Mini and I would be better off purchasing an Apple display, only problem is that the Apple displays are not within my budget. I would like some suggestions on this board from users as to what third party displays they use with a first generation Mac-Mini? I'm looking in the budget range of $200 to $250 dollars. I have a first generation Mac-Mini, Mac OS X Panther.
    PS I have tried setting monitor resolutions using both the VGA and DVI plug, they don't work.
    Thank you for any help I receive.

    Charles,
    I cannot speak on behalf of hooking this model of monitor up to a mini, however I do have a 19" Planar monitor at home hooked up to an old G4 tower via VGA, and the 19" Planar monitor that I have at work is hooked up via digital to my G4 15" PowerBook. I love both of these Planar 19" LCD monitors, and have absolutely no complaints. Planar's three year warranty is nice, and their tech support is top notch. I had an issue with the monitor at work, and I had a replacement on my desk in two days. Returning the bad monitor in the pre-paid box that the new one came in made things effortless. We have a few Planar's in the school district that I work in, and have no major issues with any of them.
    Not too sure what the most recent pricing is on this model, but CDW was selling them for around $225-$230 delivered right to your door.
    Hope this helps.

  • Third party Flash transition effects

    Can third party transition effects be used in Catalyst?

    The effect code would not be accessible to Catalyst. You can use Flash Profession to animate the item with the effect you want, then import that swf into Flash Catalyst. FC does allow you to play and stop a swf.
    The imported swf should be published with player 10.1 as the target.
    Hope this helps,

  • List of third party support?

    I recently bought iLife -06 and I'm now looking to buy a third party DVD-burner (I've got an iBook with the regular CD-RW). I haven't been able to find a list over supported burners, does anyone know where to find this?
    Thank you in advance,
    - Andreas
    IBook G4 1.2Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I think any DVD burner will do. I went looking for a "compatible" one, and I found LaCie has some with Mac support, but it only means it comes with some Mac software.
    I borrowed a friend's Plextor burner (a few years old) - he has a Windows system, and I just plugged it in and iDVD didn't complain. I didn't realise it takes ages to render the DVD, so I didn't get a chance to burn anything yet, but iDVD went through the motions of checking the DVD (I used one that had something on it) and asked if I wanted to erase what was there. All went well.
    Definitely try to borrow one if you can. Once I get some results I'll share them.

  • Adobe help stinks - Any good third party manuals?

    I've just purchased CS6 Extended, and I see that the only help I can get is online help, rather than a good, searchable help file, as in earlier versions. It seems they feel they can eliminate the pay checks of technical writers by having their developers put on videos, in which they natter along with zero teaching skills, seemingly more interested in showing off their latest enhancements, than actually having to explain HOW they work. There was just ONE guy (I can't remember his name) of all the videos I've gone through, who actually presented his subject in a logical, thoughtful way, and the manner in which he spoke seemed to indicate that he had actually had some teaching experience.
    I think Photoshop is a wonderful program, and CS6 64 bit is fantastic, but good luck trying to learn anything quickly with the current lame help system that is so obviously more interested in trying to push cloud to get people’s money on tap for a nice, steady flow of revenue. But we users are not cash cows, and I resent the feeling that that is what we're being perceived as by Adobe. You pay a high cash price for this software, and then you get help that's really mostly Adobe bragging and self-promotion via developer geeks with poor communication skills.
    Now that I've done my indignant customer scolding thing, does anybody know of a particular 3rd party book that addresses the 3d features that started a release or 2 ago and are supposedly so much better now for CS6?

    The concept of the on-line Help is a good one - it can be updated instantly, and with the Community Help tie-in, can be expanded. This makes it even more "evergreen," than a PDF file.
    However, just like you, I find it to be rather a pain. I come from the age of manuals, and appreciate having a good book, with an index, handy.
    I have all of my manuals for PS, starting with version 2.5, and up through CS 2. Each has proved very useful, and each has been read from page 1, until the end.
    Then, my life changed. First it was the PDF, and I would just take that to a printer (having to jump though some © hoops), but with the full, on-line, I find it tougher to locate what I need, and I have been using the program for decades, so know most naming conventions - until those change.
    Once, one would have a ring-bound manual, and about every quarter, and little package would arrive with revisions, and addenda, to be added to the manual. Those days are long gone. I have even paid extra $ to Adobe, for manuals in one of my last upgrades. For me, that was worth the expense.
    Still, because I am a dinosaur, I had better get used to the state of affairs. CS 6 will likely be my last upgrade, and I will just rely on Photoshop User magazine to fill me in.

  • What's a good third party to use with an unwanted rarely used iPod Shuffle?

    Hello.
    I don't want to use Apple's iTunes. I have these updated operating systems (OSes): Debian (Linux) stable, Windows XP Pro. SP3, and Mac OS X (10.5.8 and 10.8.2). I noticed Windows asked me to format it since its FS was unreadable to it, but Debian could read its HPS (no write). I assume I could format it as FAT32 and use it as an 7 GB USB flash drive, but I'd like to use its screen too if possible.
    Thank you in advance and happy new year.

  • Good third party documentation?

    Robo 7's online Help is hopeless.
    Anyone found some complete, deep, well-written user
    documentation, hopefully a guide that contains info about
    straightening out a fouled up upgrade??
    Also, if anyone knows how I can delete one instance of my
    inadvertently doubled issue (just scroll down a bit), please let me
    know.
    Thanks,
    John

    So turn it off. Tools | Options. Then you will get the local
    help which is not perfect but is better.
    Without knowing what is fouled up about the upgrade, it is
    difficult to advise.
    You cannot delete duplicated posts. Just edit the text to
    explain.
