Timeline window - Feature Request

Attention FCPx Developers!
-- Please create a View option to hide the Events window entirely, along with the option to Maximise the Timeline editing Window. Most of my timeline editing work does not require viewing the Events window. It is a waste of screen space, when I need much more area for working on clips in the Timeline.
This would make a HUGE difference!
Thanks
Geoff

Thanks for the replies.
The triangle button to the left only hides the list of event folders, not the selected event folder. Please explain further if yours does something mine doesn't. I am using FCPx 10.0.2
Regards
Geoff

Safari 3 Beta - Windows - Feature Request - Middle-click open in new tab

I'm checking out the new beta... I have a quick suggestion for a feature.
One thing I've noticed is that there is no option for middle-click to open a link in a new tab. I love this option in Mozilla and IE7, please implement it in Safari!
Thanks!

I can Middle click on any link, any bookmark an have it open in a new tab.
(in the background). Or make the new tab current. Just go to the preferences & fingle around. I can also left or middle click a tab to close it. It must be your settings. You can also rearrange tabs by dragging them. Create new windows
by dragging the tabs off the bar. Merge all windows by going to the Windows pull down menu. i cant really test if this works on a PC because i sold my last rig (PC) for pennies. another feature i like is (private browsing)

p.s.
Bill did this to me! My PC hated Netscape, & could only play audio from one
program at a time. My PC kept driving into a wall, but i wasn't afraid i just
got up & walked away.

Feature Request: Modify Audio Channels from the Timeline in Premiere CC.1

Why have we never been able to modify audio channels once a clip is added to a sequence? I'm guessing there's a good reason Adobe has never had this feature. The lack of this feature is explicitly mentioned a few times in the audio section of the Premiere Pro CC manual, as if it's a benefit NOT to have it. But the benefit is entirely lost on me.
In my workflow, I synchronize my double-system video and audio before anything else. I do this in PluralEyes (and unfortunately I'll have to keep doing it this way, until PPr's sync on sound feature gets fixed—for me it's never worked).
Once PluralEyes has synched hours of footage and audio and placed it on a PLURALEYES GENERATED sequence, I import that sequence into Premiere. Note: Since I haven't gone through the step of creating a blank New Sequence, I don't get the opportunity to setup my audio channels the way I'd like in my sequence (i.e. Stereo recordings should occupy ONE track, not two. Typically these tracks come from a camcorder and are used for reference sound, or ambient noise at best, so I don't need them taking up precious real estate in my sequence).
Since PluralEyes doesn't merge my clips for me (or rather I don't want it to since I'm usually doing multi-cam sequences where I want to keep all 14, or so, tracks of audio), I have to go through the clips one by one and do a Merge Clip action once I've adjusted any minor sync issues, or determined which tracks I actually want to keep. But, and here's the key, at this stage I'm not yet 100% certain whether I'll use the nat sound or the wireless mic sound (separate audio recorder, etc). Furthermore, I don't really want to think about that at this point. After I've spent a few mind-numbing hours just ingesting files, sync and merges, I want to jump into the edit as soon as possible, before I lose all will to finish this edit. If I modify my audio channels right now, I'll lose the ability to make some creative decisions later on.
I'd like to start whacking out an assembly edit. And then after I have a rough program, I can start looking at which audio tracks (nat or double-system) I like better in each circumstance. This is where I become stumped that at this stage, I'm locked into whatever audio channels I've setup (or not) in the earliest stage of the edit, back before any media was actually on the timeline! It's at this stage, and usually only at this stage that I want to start Modifying Channels—FROM THE TIMELINE!
Does anyone else feel the same? If not, what is your workflow?
Feature Summary: Right-click on any clip, (master clip, sub-clip, merged, nested or otherwise) in the timeline and choose Modify > Audio Channels.
I've submitted a feature request, with a link back to this discussion, so please pipe in—especially if you want this feature.

Maybe its your specific workflow, asset mangement and use of a 3rd party application that runs you into an issue.
Take Pluraleyes out of the equation, I would imagine my workflow is the same as most everyone else. Find footage in the Media Browser. Import it. Create a Sequence and start editing. Use the Source Monitor to set Ins and Outs and then Insert the clip on the timeline.
At this point, if the audio needs to be modified, it cannot be done on the Timeline. The workaround, of course, is to Find Clip in Project; Modify Audio in the Project panel; then do a Matchframe to replace the audio clip. This works, but requires many steps per clip. Also, Matchframe in Premiere Pro CC is not reliable.
Introducing a new Modify Audio (from Timeline) feature as seen in the fantasy screenshot above would solve it.
I dont use Pluraleyse ...which I understand to be a synching aid...so I dont know the workflow it imposes on one .
Returning to Pluraleyes workflow, this issue is compounded by the need to Modify almost ALL audio. Every stereo track is separated and placed on two MONO tracks taking up precious real estate. This is not something Pluraleyes imposes. It is due to the way Premiere imports XML timelines. This would apply to sequences imported from Final Cut as well.
In this case it would be ideal to select both the LEFT and RIGHT mono tracks and choose "Modify > Audio Channels > Merge L/R Mono to a Single Stereo track." Ideal? No. I guess Ideal would be if Premiere would interpret XML files properly in the first place.
What actually is the issue with Premieres synch and merge workflow in your case?
Audio Sync in Premiere Pro doesn't work. Period.

Version 1.2.0.2998 (Windows XP) "Save As" feature request

The "Save As" dialog does not remember the last directory saved to, nor can I find a way to customize the three Location buttons (Project, Home, Work) or add any additional Locations.
If I save a package body as "R:\foo.pkb", the next time I "Save As" from the same window, it reverts to saving in my home directory (C:\Documents and Settings\username" with a ".sql" extension.

As stated in the Feature Requests sticky post, requests go to the Exchange.
There you will find various requests about this already; vote and add comments on them.

Premiere Pro CC Feature Request: Shortcut for 'Close Other Timeline Panels'

I'm about to post a feature request, but wanted to see if anyone else is interested in this request too. Adobe told me that getting support on the forum first is a good way to push the request through.
Here's the very simple FR:
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:
Keyboard Shortcut for 'Close Other Timeline Panels'
How would you like the feature to work?
It was a great touch to add this contextual menu item to Premiere Pro CC, but it's a little clunky without being able to assign a keyboard shortcut to it.
It's usage would simply close every other Timeline Panel except the active one upon pressing the shortcut.
The default could be something not currently in use like Ctrl+Cmd+W (since CMD+W closes the active panel), but customisable in the Keyboard Shortcuts panel.
Why is this feature important to you?
This is something I have to do very frequently while editing, and since I (and many others) edit largely with the keyboard, a shortcut would be very useful and speed up workflow just a tiny bit.
Anyone else interested in this (admittedly fairly boring) feature request, let me know!
Thanks!

Thanks for the support and video Kevin!
cscooper2013: I totally agree with you, I can't see any reason why any action should be exluded from having a shortcut. I've submitted this simple request because I feel like it's more likely to get done on it's own.
Maybe make a separate FR for that?

Feature Request: Corner Window snapping.

Is this the correct forum for feature requests?
I would like to request a feature that would be extremely useful for multitasking. When you drag a window to the corner of your monitor or the upper corner of the task bar the window resizes to half the screen
width and height, and snaps to the corner.
To calculate these points you could do this:
Notes:
TL, TR, BL, BR represent the points of top left, top right, bottom left, and bottom right respectively.
var X-1=Monitor Length (in px)
var Y-1=Monitor Height (in px)
var T=Task bar Height (in px)
var B=Task bar Length (in px)
var x=point of x coordinate (from top left)
var y=point of y coordinate (from top left)
When task bar is on bottom:
TL: x=0, y=0
TR: x=X, y=0
BL: x=0, y=Y-T
BR: x=X, y=Y-T
When task bar is on top:
TL: x=0, y=T
TR: x=X, y=T
BL: x=0, y=Y
BR: x=X, y=Y

..."Using multiple applications - Maximized so as to concentrate on what I am doing - then using Exposé to quickly switch between them would be ideal. "...
If you are primarily concerned with applications and not windows, why don't you just use "Spaces"? It's available now, and allows you to assign an application to a particular space.
These days, the behaviour of the "zoom" button appears entirely up to the developer so suggestions might be better directed toward the ones who make the "design applications" you primarily use.
But back in good old days when Macs actually were designed to be easy to use (and not just pretty to look at), there seemed to have been a convention - not strictly adhered to in all quarters but a convention nonetheless - to use the "zoom" button to fit content, but "Option" + "zoom" to "maximize". If Apple would only go back to that idea, I suspect most people would find that satisfactory...

Feature request for the windows version section..

Does there exist anywhere to raise feature requests for any future releases of MBSA?
The additional system information section of the report, and "windows version", it would be useful if it could include service pack number number, as well as flag it as a vulnerability (red X) if the version/SP level identified is out of Microsoft
support. That would be very useful.

Feature Request: Maximize Window

Feature Request: Maximize Window
I understand that the little green button up at the top of my windows isn't intended to replace the maximize button I love so much from Windows, it is rather a "Zoom" that is supposed to fit the window to the content within. Unfortunately I find this functionality less than satisfying if not totally useless. I feel that the lack of the ability to concentrate completely on one application at a time (Maximized with no visual noise on the edges to distract me) while retaining the ability to quickly switch windows (hide others just won't cut it) would be the near perfect work-flow.
I use primarily design applications that benefit from as much screen real estate as possible being dedicated to the application, where clicking off, and away from the app isn't just an inconvenience, but it destroys the seamless experience that the design process benefits from.
Using multiple applications - Maximized so as to concentrate on what I am doing - then using Exposé to quickly switch between them would be ideal. This is truely the one thing that is keeping me from switching all of my computers at home and at work to Macs.

Feature request: Add "Cancel" button to the close program / backup actions pop up window

Please add a way to cancel out of an unintended close of LR4. I cannot count how many times I have thought of something else I needed to do or wanted to try, only to have to totally restart the program to complete the action. If I prematurely exit the program I would like a way to get back in without having to totally close out and restart. LR3 suffers from the identical coding/programming oversight. Thanks.

Ok, so I did not see this feature request for LR4 but was able to find a few references for it under LR3 (which I apparently missed before posting this request). Is this simple request really that difficult a programming feat?

Feature Request: Standard Keyboard Navigation in Media Browser and Project Panel

It's been a while since I've had time to submit a feature request. I've wanted to see this one for a while. If you agree, please submit your own feature request here: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish/
System Navigational Keyboard Shortcuts in Media Browser and Project Panel
Windows (and I'm sure Mac) has a standard set of keyboard and mouse navigational shortcuts for keyboard and mouse. I'm so used to using them in daily browsing (both in Windows Explorer and in any web browser) that missing them in the PPr Media Browser, or getting a different result in the Project Panel, is still very jarring and slows my workflow (even after having used Premiere Pro [again] since version CS4).
I propose that the Media Browser and Project Panel should honor the OS defaults for keyboard and mouse folder/file navigation. A few of the standard (Windows) keyboard and mouse navigational shortcuts are listed below (listed in order of most helpful to my own work):
Moust Back Button = "BACK"
ALT + LEFT ARROW = "BACK"
UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT = steps through the various folders within the view.
UP, DOWN walks through the directory tree while RIGHT expands the currently selected folder and LEFT contracts that directory (twirl down, etc).
ENTER opens a folder.
ALT + UP = "Folder Above"
ALT + RIGHT ARROW = "FORWARD"
F2 Renames a folder
ENTER "takes" that name to the clip. (current functionality used ENTER to rename a file/folder).
ESC cancels the renaming operation.
Pressing Enter on any piece of Media or Title, etc should take an "expected" action acording to it's context. (i.e. ENTER on a video clip would load it inot the Source Monitor. ENTER on a Title would open it in the Title Editor. ENTER on a folder would take us into that folder).
These functions exist in both Windows Explorer as well as most modern Web browsers. When browsing files and Project folders, it's what I've come to expect. It's muscle memory, if not intuitive. I realize that many of these keyboard commands are already in use in other windows/panels of the application, therefore, these commands should be Panel-specific (i.e. ALT+LEFT works differently in the Media Browser and Project Panel than it does on the Timeline/Sequence). And as always, when making such changes (i.e. changing the behavior of ENTER to F2), this set of keys should be highly configurable based on preference:
Preference:
checkbox: Use OS-specific navigational keyboard and mouse commands in Media Browser and Project Panel
checkbox: Use the (very few) "classic" Adobe keyboard commands in the Media Browser and Project Panel
The most common habit I find myself doing in the Media Browser is clicking the BACK button on my mouse—only to realize, yet again, it doesn't work that way in PPr.
The most common habit I find myself doing in the Project Panel is pressing F2 to rename a folder/bin. Of course that doesn't work. And when I've renamed it, I press ENTER to save the name, but that only moves me to the next folder ready to rename it, too. I also find, out of habit, I try to navigate the bins using the arrow keys and then open the bin/folder using ENTER. Instead, my bin is asking for a new name and I hit ESC to avoid renaming it—now THERE's a shortcut that works the way it should.
I realize this feature may be controversial to some, since it's not the way we're used to doing things in PPr. However, I'm sure there are just as many out there, like me, who are confounded as to why PPr has never worked with the "conventional" navigation shortcuts found throughout the rest of the operating system, be it Windows or Mac.
If you agree with this feature request, please submit your own feature request here: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish/

Nice ideas Jeff.
There is a site - Flash Catalyst Wishlist/Ideas where you can post these ideas so that the community can vote on them.

What Do You think of My Feature Requests?

Hi, I submitted the following Feature Requests to the Premiere CC feature requests form.
I think Premiere CC keeps improving but there are some things that really annoy me. And below are some of my requests. I'd love to know if any of these requests are in error - if I'm actually missing something.
Thanks for checking these out!
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:
AUTO-PATCHING
How would you like the feature to work?
When I select a Track Target - such as V1 Target - the Source patch should follow along. For example, if I select V1, then the V1 Source should automatically move next to V1
Why is this feature important to you?
This saves time and saves an extra, unnecessary step of having to move the Source patch.
This makes editing faster and more intuitive.
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:
Increase/Decrease Volume using Keyboard for MULTIPLE CLIPS at once (between In and Out)
How would you like the feature to work?
1. Set in and out in the Timeline
2. Make sure Audio Targets are set for the tracks you want to affect
3. Press your keyboard shortcuts for increasing or decreasing volume
Result: All Audio volumes between In and Out go up or down by the same amount.
Why is this feature important to you?
This saves a lot of time. Currently, I have to copy and paste Volume attributes and that wastes time and is not as intuitive.
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:
Select Nearest Edit Keyboard Commands Should Select All Nearest Edits on All TARGETED TRACKS, even if staggered
How would you like the feature to work?
1. Position Playhead near the edits you want selected (for Trim)
1B: Make sure the Track Targets for the tracks you want to affect are highlighted
2. Press the Keyboard Shortcut for Select Nearest Edit…
Result: Even if the edit points don't all line up on the same frame, Premiere should select (with a Roller, etc) ALL edit points NEAREST to the playhead on Tracks which have their Target buttons selected.
How it works now: Now Premiere only select those edit points that line up together the same frame.
Why is this feature important to you?
How Premiere currently works wastes a lot of time. It currently requires the editor to manually click and add other edit selections.
Currently, Premiere does not actually select all the edit points on SELECTED TRACKS.
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:
REMOVE EFFECT - ALLOW US TO CHOOSE WHICH EFFECTS
How would you like the feature to work?
1. Highlight one or more Clips to select them.
2. Press the Remove Effects Keyboard Shortcut
What should happen: Premiere should present you with a window that allows you to check the effects you want to remove or uncheck the effects you don't want to remove.
Why is this feature important to you?
This is very important because often I have a remove just one effect on a large group of effects. I don't have the time - it would take forever - to go through each individual clip and eliminate that particular effect in the Effect Controls panel.
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:
A Paste Insert should move the IN/OUT marks down the Timeline, just like the clips
How would you like the feature to work?
1. Set an In an Out point somewhere in the timeline.
2 In the timeline, after copying some material, PASTE INSERT, the clips in front of a whole bunch of other clips (also earlier than the In/Out marks)
What Should Happen:
Material AND In/Out marks should shift to the right to maintain sync.
What currently happens:
Premiere correctly shifts the Clips that follow the pasted material, Down the Timeline, to maintain sync. However, Premiere keeps the In/Out Marks where they are.
Why is this feature important to you?
I often copy material that's between In/Out marks and then go earlier in the Timeline and paste Insert that material. But when I jump back to the In point (Go to In) the In/Out marks haven't move and so I have to find my place in the material all over again.
It shouldn't work this way. It wastes time. And other NLEs don't do it this way. They shift the In/Out marks.

Nice requests. Just trying to be helpful here:
Re REMOVE EFFECT - ALLOW US TO CHOOSE WHICH EFFECTS
I agree - this could be quite useful. However, It sounds like using adjustment layers may be helpful for your workflow also?
Re: Increase/Decrease Volume using Keyboard for MULTIPLE CLIPS at once (between In and Out)
I've stopped using volume altogether now, and instead use 'Gain' mapped to "g" key in premiere keyboard layout. SUPER useful, for all the reasons you describe. I've never used I/O marks, but you can make big selections of clips, or a whole track's. Volume controls in Premiere, as far as I can tell, caps at +6DB for some reason. I routinely have to go much higher than that. also there is a very intelligent gain options screen that lets you bump your selected clips relatively by +/- DB levels; or set absolute values; OR set normalization targets. I LOVE IT, and its all I use now.
It seems to me that the audio component of Premiere if far more sophisticated than any other NLE I've used [ Avid MC, FCP...]. My only caveat is that volume and gain are not integrated across all methodologies. For example, you can have a volume adjustment on the clip, the track, and gain adjustments on the clip all operating independently- its alot to keep track of on projects that get passed back and forth between different editors with different methods!

Feature Requests for next version of Pr

I've submitted this list. If you agree, please join me. Copy and paste into the Feature Request page if you like. Add your own requests.
AUDIO:
Ability to save track or clip based audio effect user presets.
Option-drag to copy an audio effect from one insert location to another (to different tracks)
Drag audio effects up or down in the effect stack order, or to another track
Temporary Snap on or off (Reverse Snap Behavior) keyboard modifier.
KEYBOARD / SHORTCUTS:
Ability to map multiple Keyboard Shortcuts to the same function (like Avid: E & R keys, same as I and O)
Ability to print the Keyboard Shortcuts, or save all of them as a text file.
TIMELINE:
More obvious indicator that Timeline Snap is on.
Indicator on Clips in the Timeline that indicate Frame Blend is enabled.
Ripple Sequence and Chapter Markers.
Ripple Audio Track Keyframes.
Solo video layer button on the Timeline track panel.
Constrain clip time movement between tracks by holding shift key, just like all other applications.
FX button/switch, as in After Effects, to turn off all effects on a track (video and audio).
Option-double click a nest to reveal contents of nest in the same master timeline.
SOURCE AND PROGRAM PANES:
Keyboard shortcuts to scale image zoom in Source and Program tabs.
Keyboard shortcuts to increase or decrease playback resolution.
Have the Program monitor remember the Zoom and Resolution level for each Sequence; don't have Zoom scale set universally by the project.
VIDEO EFFECTS:
Make ALL effects Accelerated, YUV, 32-bit. Allow Third Party effects to be accelerated!
Ability to save user/custom transition presets.
In Effects tab, press Tab button to jump to next effect parameter (as in After Effects)
Feathering and invert on Garbage Mattes
A Track Matte function that allows us to pan and scale the clip being matted without affecting the matte size or position. You could do this with a Stencil / Silhouette Alpha / Luma Blend mode as in Ae.
MISC:
When using Clip > Scale to Sequence, DO NOT have the new Scale factor in the Motion tab change the clip's scale to 100%.
Consistent Mouse Wheel behavior across all apps in CS
Scopes update while playing.
Make Export and Title windows return to the previously adjusted size and placement.
Add a command buffer, so that we can execute several commands in a row, and not wait for the app to "release", or for the first event to complete before I can proceed to the next event.
File requests here:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

If you want to do this correctly you need to file a request for each feature.
Ripple Sequence and Chapter Markers is already implemented. Sequence markers are the same as chapter markers, yes? (Ripple Sequence Markers, select Marker > Ripple Sequence Markers.)
Ability to print the Keyboard Shortcuts, or save all of them as a text file. also available. (hold ctrl+shift while opening. A button with clipboard appears)
Keyboard shortcuts to scale image zoom in Source and Program tabs. available
Keyboard shortcuts to increase or decrease playback resolution. available
Make Export and Title windows return to the previously adjusted size and placement. They do.
Some feature you posted are great. How about a eyedropper tool for the Color Matte?
I find the Magnet for Snap quite visible. There is also this feature in the Pref to make the playhead snap.

Feature Request: Apply effects to group of clip instances

I have been trying to supply this feature request into the Adobe feedback form. But it appeared that it was too large to be posted in a single feedback form. So I had to split it into three distinct feedback forms.
I don't want this feature request to get lost just because those three parts can't be joined back into a single feature request again. So I'd like to post it here, requesting for comments, too...
This feature request is about applying effects to more than one clip:
a)
Currently, when selecting more than one clip, it's not possible to change any effects settings. The Effects Settings windows only shows a "Multiple clips selected" message.
Thus, I'd like to suggest the following:
When selecting more than one clip, the Effects Settings window should display any effects that apply to all the selected clips. Moreover, only those effect parameter values should be displayed having the same value across all selected effects. This on the other hand, of course, can only be displayed for effect parameters not having key frames/timing activated.
Editing any of the displayed effects' parameters should apply the new value to each currently selected clip instance.
b)
Then again, when using key frame/timing activated effect parameters, it is currently not possible to apply such effect to more than a clip, too. To apply such animated effects to more than one clip it is currently necessary to nest those clips into a separate sequence.
Thus, I'd like to suggest the following improvement:
It should be possible to apply effects not only to clips but also to a group of clips (Menu Clip > Group).
Activating animation/key framing to any of the effect settings of those effects being assigned to a clip group (in contrast to those effects assigned to any clip instance contained in the the group) will allow to add key frames spanning all clips of the group.
This way it will be possible to easily create, e.g., a zoom effect spanning several clips.
If there are clips in-between those belonging to the group, the group's effects won't be applied to those clips not belonging to the group. However, the effects' parameter values are continued to be calculated in the background.
So this example would be true:
- Available clips:
| a | b | c | d | e |
- Clips grouped into a Clip Group:
| a |   | c |   | e |
- Zoom video effect applied to the group, having two key frames added:
Key frame #1 = beginning of clip | a |
Key frame #2 = end of clip | e |
Zoom value of key frame #1 = 100%
Zoom value of key frame #2 = 400%
--> So this will be the approximated calculated zoom value when the timeline reaches following points in time:
Beginning of clip | a |:     100%
End of clip       | a |:     132%
Beginning of clip | b |: (100%)
End of clip       | b |: (100%)
Beginning of clip | c |:     174%
End of clip       | c |:     230%
Beginning of clip | d |: (100%)
End of clip       | d |: (100%)
Beginning of clip | e |:     303%
End of clip       | e |:     400%
(Unfortunately, this forum doesn't allow me to apply any kind of formatting to the example above. So I can't apply a monospace font or colouring )
When a group gets ungrouped (Menu Clip > Ungroup), effects that had been applied to the group will be assigned to each individual clip of the group. For effect parameters that had key frames/animation activated, key frames will be created at the beginning and end of each of the clips. The previously calculated values will now be inserted at each automatically created key frame to mimic the grouped effect behaviour. This operation then would finalize the Ungroup operation involving clip group effects.
Regards,
Axel Dahmen

You could combine the Next/Previous Edit commands with either the Apply Video Transition shortcut or with a paste command if you had copied the transition you want.
OR... much easier if all you want is a bunch of consistent fade ins/fade outs...
On a single clip, keyframe opacity to create a fade in from the in point of the clip at the duration you like, e.g. 30 frames. Right click Opacity, and select Save Preset; give it a name, e.g. Fade In 30 Frames and set it to Anchor to In Point. Reset the effect and delete the keyframes, and then repeat this to create a fade out. Go to the out point of the clip, set keyframes, and once again, right-click Opacity and Save Preset; this time call it something like Fade Out 30 Frames and set it to Anchor to Out Point.
Now, you can simply select all of your clips in the sequence, and apply these presets by dragging them to the selection. Even though you created two presets, because you can only have one instance of Opacity on a clip, the keyframes from both presets will be added to that single effect. You have to do this with two presets--if you do it with one and use Scale, the keyframes will stretch out or compress to maintain a relative duration instead of an absolute duration.

Posting Feature Requests for others to Copy/Paste

I recently posted a Feature Request I sent to Adobe for another member to copy/paste as his own FR since he liked the suggestion (see the FR below).
After doing so, I got the idea that we could all do this: copy/paste FRs we send to Adobe into threads on this forum to help each other support the idea with similar requests, or even copy/paste the FR as our own. With limited resources and time, there's only so many requests Adobe can implement in every new version. That why it's so important that new features the Premiere Pro team invests their hard work and time on be the tools that would benefit the greatest number of editors. The more people back up certain ideas, the more likely they'll be implemented sooner than later.
There's power in numbers, so how about using this forum to share our best ideas and make it easier for others to add their voice of support? It's great that Adobe provides us with a way to send them feedback, but it's too bad that it's a one-way conversation with very little, if any, dialogue back and forth between the submitter and Adobe. That's why I thought it would be great to bring more of that potential dialogue here, where we can share ideas and support the creation of an ever better Premiere Pro!
If you've never posted a FR or BR (Bug Report) before, you can easily join the effort to make Premiere Pro become all that it can be, here: www.adobe.com/go/wish
Comments? Ideas? Please share!
Here's the FR I pasted in another thread, as an example.
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature: Drag&Drop Modified clips into Project Window
How would you like the feature to work?
Ability to Drag&Drop clips with effects, motion settings, keyframes and/or markers back into the Project Window from the Timeline for later use.
Why is this feature important to you?
The Project Window is far better than Sequences for storing/organizing modified clips for future use, since it is:

Foolproof in that the original sequence can be deleted without losing any created subclips
Given these advantages, why only allow us to store modified clips in Sequences? Please fix this by allowing users to Drag&Drop clips from the Timeline to the Project Window while preserving all of their modifications (effects, keyframes, motion settings and/or markers).

Comments? Ideas? Please share!
As it has already been discussed in this thread (and duplicated threads are not allowed in Adobe Forums), the aforementioned feature request is mainly based on the false statement that an editor can either store raw clips in the Project panel or modified clip in the timeline. That's false because an editor can nest modified clip right in the timeline and the nested sequence will be automatically stored in the Project panel, turning into a regular reusable asset.
Unfortunately, the OP, as was also outlined in the duplicated thread, carefully avoids any mentioning this ability, which becomes your second nature if you use After Effects (which is unlike FCP is a part of Adobe Suite).
However, since the OP asks for sharing ideas, I do not hesitate to do this once again. Here is the feature request intended to improve the usability of such PrPro assets as 'Sequences' without breaking existing workflow:
*******Managing Sequences*******
It would be nice if managing capabilities for such assets as 'Sequences' were extended with the following features:
- similar live thumbnail view, which was introduced for footages in CS6. A small 'Sequence' badge in the top left corner of the thumbnail would allow to differentiate between sequences and clips;
- enabled metadata and ability to handle them like for any other regular asset;
- ability to remove empty audio or video tracks completely, i.e. get a sequence as an Audio or Video asset only;
- pop-up dialog box on hitting 'Nest' command, which would allow to give meaning name instead of default 'Nested Sequence XXX', contain 'Delete All Empty Tracks' checkbox and a button for advanced dialog for logging metadata right on a brand new asset creation.
These features would improve an ability to exploit sequences as reusable assets and preserve consistent applications behaviour throughout the Suite instead of breaking existing workflow by inventing new FCP style 'subclip with effects' type of asset.

FEATURE REQUEST: Sticky editing of feed info

I love iTunes 6 on Windows as pod-catching software. It's great. But a minor feature request.... (since I don't see anywhere else on Apple.Com for iTunes feature requests, I'm posting it here).
Most podcast authors seem to do a lousy job of creating intuitive feed metadata information (Artist, Description). And since podcasts seem to be sorted by default on my iPod by Music > Podcasts > [ARTIST FIELD], I always edit the Artist Field in iTunes before I sync with my iPod. I do this by selecting all items in a feed group, right clicking, choosing Get Info, and editing the Artist field to something short which makes sense to me.
However, this edit isn't sticky. When new items in a feed are downloaded to iTunes, they have the original Artist field. So I have to edit this a lot.
What I'd like is to be able to edit the Info of the feed once in iTunes. Then, every time a new item is downloaded to that feed in iTunes, I'd like iTunes to go ahead and edit that item's info to match my sticky feed setting. This way, I only need to edit the info once when I add a new feed, and each item subsequently downloaded will inherit those settings.
Make sense? A "power user" feauture, I'm sure. But it'd be nice....

Can't be done currently. Interesting idea, though.
However, I've found that podcast creators tend to be pretty responsive to criticisms along these lines. I've had this same problem with some podcasts, and after I mentioned it to them, they started tagging their podcasts appropriately. Some of them even started adding "album art" after I explained how it would show up on newer iPod's when playing the track, if the iPod user uses iTunes.
I'd email the podcast author and let them know what's up. This is generally a better long term solution anyway, as it helps everybody.
