Wish list for Premiere CS6

Please invest in getting a good slow motion plugin bundled with premiere cs6, the current slow mo is choppy at best even with frame blending. Get twixtor or other bundled with cs6 please.
There should be a button to deactivate all plugins/effects on all clips so playback can be seemless to review an edit. We can only currently do this manually by deselecting every effect on evey clip which takes forever, there should be a generic option for all effects enable/disableon all video in the sequence.
Multicam needs to extend from 4 cameras to at least 8 or above as with most other NLEs
Add some alpha based transitions in the effects transitions similar to pixelan transitions
Particle effects similar trapcode particular for effects like smoke, fire, sparks etc.
extention to lens flare with more control over flare, flare components, rays, glow ect
A colour corrector that will balance colour between clips ergo you have 3 separate clips and the colour temp is slightly different in each, a fast solution is needed to balance all clips. If the shots are similar there should be a way that NLE can correct colour for both so individual clips match with aid of user. A sort of balance this clip to the colour in this other clip. Again basic colour correction is always used and a very time consuming process, simlifying this will help.
Movie sound effects bank for online content. Many people spend hours looking for or creating simple movie sound effects for fighting, inanimate object collisions, effects for impact, wooshes, trailer effects etc.
My oppinion soo far is Adobe CS suits are great and work well together, the software IS getting better so these are just my thoughts.

FAQ: How do I submit a bug report or feature request or otherwise give feedback about Premiere Pro?

  • Wish list for AE CS6

    Been using AE CS5 and loving it, but wish there were a couple of more features...
    -- shadow color for 3D lights.  not only control the color of the light, but of the shadows they create (like in Lightwave and other 3D packages)
    -- more user friendly expression library.  gimme easy to apply presets with sliders!
    -- openCL acceleration for us non nVidia folks.
    I'm sure there are others, but just hope this reaches the right eyeballs...

    First, the next generation of Adobe After Effects should do more with enhancing the working environment which Motion 4 did.
    When a user opens the application, they just want to think of how to make their creativity comes truth with flexible and easy-to-use tools. Not too complicated like the ones in AE right now. Full black solid appearance theme like the gray one in Photoshop (without Windows Aero theme in the title) that may save some spaces for menu bar and look cooler. Using tabs to work with multiple AE files in just one window like Photoshop. Improvement in Drag-and Drop or multi-touch screen. The feature in AE is cool but they somehow hidden and hard to find or use. Let bring them in the front with easy-to-understand icon and able to expand them by click and hold to show more options that related to main feature. Thumbnail view should be better than the list or menu view in filter effects, presets, animations, and 3D text style built inside AE divided by tabs (Drag and Drop should be applied for these thumbnails). Windows 7 came with their redesigned taskbar that can feature as the progress bar and tasking menu for each application that has the icon on it. Think about using these two features of the new taskbar, user will be able to do simple tasks in AE by just right click and choose the task on the icon in the taskbar or get informed about rendering process without staying in AE windows by progress bar feature in Windows 7's taskbar.
    Second, there are many plugins available for users to buy but they're so expensive. Buying After Effect like buying a house without door, appliance, or some other necessary things. After Effects should rather bring more tools, effect filters, or creative features than focusing on creating just one or two significant features. We need to think about renewing the old creative stuffs in AE like brand new built-in Particle System, Lens Flares improved with more types of len or color of light, Easier 2D/3D reflection/lighting/shadowing, Painting Brush (3D stroke type) or easy Extrude 3D Text/ Object with more animations and presets than the current version. Each of them should be organized and listed in the thumbnail view. Users will be able to do the drag-and-drop operation on this. How about the behavior with the physic ability like gravity,wind for objects or smart objects that have the physic ability? That would be great. The power of AE in the future needs to focus on 3D movie making aslo, althought there are set of features that allow us to do that, but not fully supported. If needed, they could make the specific mode for 3D movie making only in individual window.
    Third, the acceleration of performance is really big step. 64-bit support is a very good thing for AE, but since many releases of AE I haven't seen such the improvement like startup speed and stability. AE in the one that has slowest startup speed among with its friends like Photoshop, Flash, or Dreamwaver and somtime crashes. The Team needs to think about that.
    Fourth, I also suggest a feature called "Realism" that will be able to make or organize the colors, lights, or even edges of every 2D/3D objects in a composition or each composition and help them look more realistic with just a few clicks.
    Hopefully, my suggestions will help Adobe improve their next AE. CS6 should be the greatest development with Additions, Accelerations or Enhancements among its previous versions. By that way, there will be more users will think of buying or upgrading to new CS6. That's what I and other users are looking for.
    Thank you

  • Wish list for Lightroom 4

    I just put together my wish list for Lightroom 4.
    http://davidnaylor.org/blog/2011/01/wish-list-for-lightroom-4/
    What do you think? Did I miss anything important out?

    I want soft proofing so bad, I didn't even upgrade to lr3, because the changes they did make meant so little in comparison to it.
    Please Adobe, if you're reading this...SOFT PROOFING PUH-LEEZ!
    Additionally, it would be very useful to be able to embed watermarks that are visible to printing services, but not visible when viewing files on screen.  I don't know if that's even possible, but it would help photographers who want to provide the files to our clients, but don't want them to have unlimited usage.  They can enjoy the photos on their computers, they could print too, but the printing services would be limited by whatever copyright limitations the photographer places on the invisible watermark.  For example, I might put something like:
    copyright 2011 Iconic Photography, Vancouver, Canada
    This image may be reproduced to a maximum print size of 8" x 12"
    Contact Iconic Photography at [email protected] for more information.
    This would prevent clients from making their own albums or wall prints.  Whaddaya say Adobe?

  • Missing Features, Bugs, and Wish List for Apple Engineers

    I LOVE my iPhone. It is by far the best phone I have ever had. The interface is awesome. Great job Apple, but there are missing features and bugs that all of us want updated or wish were added. I know they were probably already thought of by Apple, but in an effort to make the phone perfect removed to make it more stable. Now that it is out lets make it perfect.
    This thread will hopefully give you guys guidance from the early adopters who share your love for the phone (and others who want to chime in). I want to separate the list into a few categories and hope everyone will add to this thread with their ideas:
    1) BUGS/CHANGES TO EXISTING APPS:
    - Period should be in alphabet keyboard (make space smaller) or when you go to symbol keyboard and hit period it should automatically go back to the alphabet keyboard (unless you double click the symbol button which means stay there like caps lock)
    - Individual delete (like Mail) of all lists (eg. call list, bookmarks list, history etc.
    - Multiple item in a List delete (see below for how to select). This is also so un-Mac like to not be able to select multiple items to delete. It is all or none for clear/delete on the iPhone.
    - Implement double finger slide...in maps double finger tap zooms out so the OS recognizes this, why don't you use a double finger drag to mean "select". There is no way to select some words in a sentence or a group of items. This could be how. eg. In a list (eg Mail) double finger slide over items you want to select (instead of singer finger drag which moves the list) then one finger slide to the right to delete the selected items from the list.
    - Copy and paste. Since there are no menus this would require a gesture (ala newton)
    - when you tap the battery icon it should bring up a battery status dialog (ala wifi join dialog where the screen dims): present charge, big battery icon (like the charging one), time left. In addition, instead of giving battery usage details only after a full charge, give it at any point.
    - Since you know that nights and weekends are at set times (and not variable like it was on Sprint where I came from)...the phone usage details should be broken down into: peak minutes used and N+W minutes used (not hard to figure out since you know the time and dates of calls)
    - Be able to change font/background etc in Notes app
    - faster way to get to favorites in the killer phone app after turning on phone. Just seems like it takes too many taps to get there to make a call on a phone.
    2) WISH LIST FOR NEW APPS (apps that can be added with existing hardware, see #3 for other wishes)
    - iChat (obvious and probably almost done)
    - VOIP (probably not going to happen, and wouldn't work in Europe where I would need it most gven network speeds there)
    - Flight tracker widget
    - Exchange support (probably in the works)
    - Push email from gmail and .Mac (probably in the works)
    - Bluetooth sync
    - DUN (probably not going to happen since AT+T does not want it)
    - Data/File storage with sync
    - TODO APP that syncs to to do in iCal
    - Ringtones, definitely from songs from iPod side (obvious and coming soon I am sure)
    -Search function like spotlight. Global would be awesome, but even just in contacts
    3) FUTURE HARDWARE RELATED WISHES (stuff we wish could be in hardware version 1 but know require a version 2):
    - GPS
    - 3G
    - LED that changes color and/or pulses (like MacBooks sleep light) that indicates things (eg charge status, Voice mail status, roaming status etc) without turning on the phone
    - Move camera to front to allow video conferencing (I doubt Steve would allow since it would mess up the clean front look)
    Well I could go on and will add to this thread later, but I need to go to work to show everyone (and sell more apple stuff since many of my colleagues have been converted to macs). Now, all you pioneers, start adding things to help our beloved phone become better!
    Peter
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.3.6)  

    I agree with your post! I'm amazed by the simplicity, the screen, and the apps on the iPhone. They all have worked wonderfully for me, with just a few crashes while surfing or loading big email images. (I heard that shutting down the phone and restarting helps that.)
    The single flaw for me is that the phone app itself should be primary, with more options (quicker access, unique ringtones, voicedial?) and ease of use. The other applications are so elegant, but I need my phone to be very accessible and practical too.
    My wish list:
    1) Make it fewer taps to get to the point where you can make a phone call. How about the main button can be programmed to take you wherever you want. I'd choose to go to Phone Favorites, so I could speed dial right away.
    2) Be able to set a preference as to what app you're in when you wake up the phone. I'd choose phone keypad, some might choose iCal, etc.
    3) Add the period and comma symbols to the alpha keyboard.
    4) Allow different ringtones for specific caller ID's.
    5) Copy and paste.
    V2) With new hardware, add a "back" button to return to prev. screen. It could be small, on the side near volume?

  • What's on your wish list for the NIke+ sportkit?

    Here's my wish list so far. What's on your wish list for the Nike+ Nano sportkit? (Already sent to Apple and Nike+ feedback so please don't tell me to do that. Apple & Nike+ do read the forum. )
    Nike+:
    I would like to see:
    -- a date on the start of my goals (rather than just "you have 16 days to go").
    --previous goal start and end dates (I have completed goals in half the time I gave myself but it doesn't show that)
    --MOST IMPORTANT--some way to show improvement in pace (or distance, or time). At the moment you don't see what your previous cumulative pace was. You don't even know whether it's getting better or worse. You have to guess on the basis of looking back at each individual run.
    --a simple, foolproof way to re-upload run data to Nike+
    Nano:
    I would like to see:
    --a two-step way to end a run, rather the current four step Pause> Menu> spin the dial>End
    --since the sensor obviously records steps (you can see step count in the xml file), let the users see that step count in their totals and upload the steps data to Nike+

    - support for podcast playing as well as typical control of now playing - the ability to move the item playing back if you miss something (say, while listening to a podcast or audiobook). I like to catch up on my podcasts while I run, then listen to music at the end of the run. I am kludging my way through with playlists right now, one for each day, but I'd really rather not. Really there should be a "Music" menu option so that you could choose to listen to an artist or an album or a genre - your choice - rather than just a playlist or shuffle songs.
    - support for other shoes, even legacy Nike shoes, perhaps with a rigid arch support insole or something that you can slip in that has a pocket for the sensor? I realize that Nike is likely looking at this as a way to make people buy higher margin shoes, but I'd pay extra for a Nike branded insole like that, too.
    - I agree with the option for a non-flash site.
    - The ability to turn off the power song feature, or at least customize some of the features. I'd prefer a quick trip to the main menu with a press and hold, say, with a menu item on the end of the main menu to return to the workout data (sort of like the "Now Playing" menu item) so that I can change music selections, change backlight timing, whatever.
    - I'd love to be able to access workout data on the PC without having to connect to the internet.
    - If you are listening to a podcast or audiobook, I'd like the spoken announcements ("you have 10 minutes to go") to pause the playback rather than speak over it, or at least give me the option to do so.
    I've only had it a week; I am sure that I will come up with more as I use it more.

  • Nokia 5230 - Wish List for Next Firmware Upgrade

    heya guys,
    I'm using Nokia 5230 with the latest firmware, V 12.0.089.
    The following are my wish list for the next firmware upgrade:-
    1. Messaging > Sent Items: Please include short cut icons to Forward, Create New and Delete as in Inbox.
    2. Log > Recent calls: Unnecessary option for Call > Voice Call.
    3. Settings > Personal > Themes > Call image > Theme image: A bug with certain 3rd party theme (e.g. JustBlack - 5th theme). During lock mode, screen is totally blank during calls & alarms.
    4. Settings > Application mgr. > Installed apps.: Too much application will cause an error of "Application Manager Memory full"  and auto exit when selecting "Option". During error, phone memory is around 25MB, Memory Card is around 2.5GB/4GB.
    5. Ovi Map > Drive / Walk > Set Destination: Please do an icon based UI for History, Favourite, Search & From Map. The list is to small to click on to (when driving) :-)
    6. Organize > Please include multiple selections. E.g. Mark/Unmark > Mark / Mark All. Easy to move multiple applications at once to any folder.
    That's all for now i guess. By the way, Nokia rocks!! 
    Thanks in advanced.

    Please integrate swype for messaging in the next firmware of 5230. Also kinetic scrolling for messages and contacts. If possible the homescreen of symbian^3. 

  • Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops?

    Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops? I assume it would show the new price in the Wish List but does it inform you if the price drops?

    The apps which show on the file sharing section on your iPad when connected to your computer's iTunes, you have exactly the same apps installed on your iPhone - they are not separate iPad and iPhone apps that you have installed on your iPad/iPhone, and only the iPad version supports file sharing ?
    For iBooks, that won't show, it doesn't support file sharing. You can add ibooks / epubs / PDFs to your computer's iTunes library (the iBooks app if you are using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it) via File > Add To Library, and you sync them to a device via its Books tab :
    If you want to copy them off the device to your computer's iTunes (to the iBooks app on Mavericks) then File > Devices > Transfer Purchases will copy them over (that will copy PDFs and epubs from the iBooks app on your device, not just ibooks).

  • Wish list for next iPod software update

    I don't know if this the right place or not, I was unable to find a better place for this.
    Wish list for next iPod 5G software update
    1.) Use the same folder structure as in iTunes (could be an option)
    2.) Allow creation of custom eq settings in iTunes.
    That's all for now. Thank you Apple for a great product.
    Roy Owen
    A Happy iPod 80GB owner.

    What the next update needs is a better way for ipods to deal with gapless albums, I have several albums that I put on gapless album cuz each track leads into the next one perfectly and that little pause really throws off the feel of the music. But I can't put either of those albums on Repeat All, Shuffle Songs or Shuffle Albums cuz then it only plays the one song in it's own playlist and to get to the next track I have to go back to the menu and scroll down to the next one, which is a hassle to say the least.

  • Audio Settings for Premiere CS6

    Hi, I currently run a Mac Pro with a 27 inch Apple Monitor with built in camera.  The machine is also running Mountain Lion 10.8.5.  Could someone give me some clarification as to why the Audio Settings for Premiere CS6 are the way they are?
    Example with a Macbook Pro and an iMac when I plug in a headphone I can get the sounds from Premiere pro as well as something from youtube to the headphones.  However in the case of the Mac Pro with the Apple Monitor, when the headphones are plugged in the youtube sounds come through but the Premiere sounds go through the monitor.  I'm aware of the audio settings but I suspect this is working by design because of the different audio options the Mac Pro have and there is nothing broken about this.
    Please advise.
    Thank you.

    I've always found this a bit annoying.
    The intended behaviour is that if you go into Premiere's audio settings, and choose "System Default Input/Output", it should change along with the system (so that the audio comes out wherever YouTube does). In practice, I've found this to be inconsistent in pre-CC versions of Premiere (CC fixes this).
    One tip that may be helpful for you in general on a Mac Pro:
    1. If you don't already have the volume icon in the menu bar (by the clock), enable that in System Preferences > Sound.
    2. Option-click on the icon and you'll get a quick menu of your output options

    For those that are interested HERE is the main feedback page for  which allows you to send  feedback on various products.
    This page is useful for anyone who hasn't purchased a product yet maybe because upon researching they've discovered certain features unavailable and they would still like to send  feedback of their concerns. Or you might not own said product but still have an idea for it. I'm just trying to think outside of the FCS2 box here (pun)

  • Kelby's wish list for LR4 ...

    Scott Kelby posted his wish list for LRv4 on his blog today pointing out features, adjustments and tweaks he would like to see in the next iteration of Lightroom ....
    http://www.scottkelby.com/blog/2010/archives/11824
    Is he on target? Are his suggestions worthy, important and doable?
    I must say I wouldn't be disappointed with his vision of what LR4 would be capable of ....

    Personally, I'm on a pretty different page.
    I could care less about Lightroom's slideshow capability - because I don't use it (I use 3rd party presentation tools after exporting from Lr).
    I could care less about Lightroom's photobooks - because if I did use photobooks, I could do it in Aperture or some other 3rd party software.
    I could care less about soft-proofing because I don't use it, and if I did, I could always pull the photos into another app that does support soft-proofing.
    ... I could go on, but my point is that anything that can easily be done at the endpoints of the workflow with another tool is less of a concern to me than the things I do day in and day out, which is Library + Develop, especially Develop.
    And Adobe still has some serious image quality matters to address, e.g. Highlight recovery.
    I would agree with Scott on these points:
    - Networked catalog support (although I don't have need, I understand other peoples need for this).
    - Soft-proofing: this is not a contradiction - I acknowlege other peoples strong desire/need for this.
    Other stuff I don't use but would imagine becoming big:
    - GPS/Location support.
    My wishlist:
    - Finish what they started being #1 image-quality-wise
        - especially highlight recovery
        - and other hue shift anomalies.
    - Finish what they started being #1 performance-wise (read: get the bugs out so the performance for "all" of us matches the performance for the lucky ones).
    - Add better color handling and/or adjustment capability.
    - Better auto-tone and Active-D-Lighting-like support (fill-light + clarity goes pretty far now, and jjust fixing highlight recovery would be a huge step in the right direction here).
        - Fix 'Clarity' so that one can down-throttle its affect on "already high-contrast" edges.
    - targeted adjustments (based on luminance, color, ..., e.g. U-points only better)
        - includes making the auto-mask work better.
    - all adjustments available locally.
    - Separate channel levels and curves.
    - distraction removal brush (e.g. content-aware fill).
    - Support for image enhancement via plugin. - once pixel manipulation is integrated with parametric editing (see my #1 wish below) - this will be a fallout - I don't care too much whether image manipulation tools plug into photoshop or lightroom, as long as they are readily accessible in Lightroom without forking a separate photo.
    - Full-screen editing with develop panels + library panels simultaneously open on secondary monitor.
    - Full access to Lightroom UI via SDK (plugin) - including event notification and having things in the panels.
    AND MY #1 WISH FOR LIGHTROOM 4:
    - 100% integration with Photoshop and/or other 3rd party pixel editors and plugins - this would include the ability to have multiple shots be considered sub-shots of an HDR image. - If this were done, it would lessen many of the needs for natively supporting things like separate channel levels and curves and all adjustments local. To reiterate: the main goal is to be able to do things presently relegated to pixel editors without forking a new photo, even if internally its handled as a fork - I don't want to have to manage an additional independent photo entity just to remove a twig.
    I'm sure there's more, but I gotta go dance...

  • Need some tips for premiere cs6 video editing

    I have recorded professionally in a sound proof room with a microphone mc's, it's really good video quality and the sound quality is perfect too.
    I have recorded with 2 different devices at different angles i'm going to remove sound from both video clips and use the recorded mp3 file made in Adobe Audition CS6 (amazing program) I want to have the 2nd angle recording put in the video so it shows the main video then the 2nd in a little box in the top corner, how can i do this?
    Also any tips people can suggest for me on Speedgrade CS6 or After effects CS6 that will improve the viewing experience will be very appreciated.
    Last thing playback in Premiere and after effects is very slow, no computer faults my laptop is extremely fast but one thing i've had this laptop about 8 months and not updates the graphics card, would it be that or is there a way to fix this? when i try playblack in after effects it says something like '0.9/29 frames (not real time), i downloaded quicktime i thought this was real time?

  • My iPhoto WIsh List for '07

    Just sent the following to Apple's iPhoto Feedback; figured I'd post same here just for the heck of it. Many of these feature requests might only apply to my particular (and peculiar?) workflow, but I suspect at least a few of them might strike an empathetic chord...
    One User's iPhoto Wish List:
    Your first priority is to contact the creators of iPhoto Diet and iPhoto Library Manager, pay them lots of money for their work, and then incorporate all the features of their shareware apps into iPhoto itself.
    This would add to iPhoto features it should have had for a long time now, including:
    1) An option to delete unrotated originals.
    It's silly to take up space on a hard drive with copies of files whose only difference is that one is correctly rotated and the other is not. Give us the choice to dispense with the unrotated ones.
    2) An option to delete the originals for any selected file(s).
    I know that "always keeping a copy of the original" is a sacred cornerstone of the iPhoto app, but SOMETIMES, after I've edited, resized, or done whatever to a given file, I feel I've created the new master file, and I truly really honestly would like the ability to just dispose of the now redundant original and get the space back on my hard drive.
    (If this sounds like giving the user of a "consumer app" too much control, by all means bury this kind of option behind all the Advanced Tabs and all the Warning Dialogs you want -- but please at least give us the option to manage what we ultimately keep or don't keep in our iPhoto Libraries.)
    3) Ways to manage multiple libraries on multiple machines with multiple users.
    I have a 12GB (and growing) iPhoto Library on my G5 PowerMac. My wife's G5 iMac has a subset of that Library (about half the size), with the same Roll designations, Comments info, and Keyword assignments, along with some of the same Albums plus some unique Albums. I use iPhoto Library Manager to do this, but I should be able to do it using iPhoto itself.
    Especially since the introduction of OS X, Apple has encouraged the notion of multiple users on multiple Macs. iPhoto needs to embrace that world view, and make the sharing and management of multiple iPhoto Libraries, even different versions of the same Library on different machines, a fluid, user-friendly, and fully-integrated process. For instance, I should be able to select which images, Rolls, and/or Albums from my Library get copied to my wife's machine (with all Comments, Roll info and Keywords intact) -- AND whether or not those copies include the corresponding original files or not.
    Other features iPhoto needs:
    4) Ability to correct and change the actual EXIF date/time info.
    One example: It is extremely common to get jpegs from other users who haven't bothered to correctly set the date/time menu on their digital cameras. You want to correct that info, but if you do that in iPhoto's Info pane, and then Export that image and in turn Import it into another iPhoto Library, the Date/Time reverts back to the original INCORRECT setting. This is really annoying, and I feel like it's insulting my intelligence. (When I change the date of a photo, THAT'S the date I should now be able to search for by using the calendar mode, NOT its incorrect "creation" date.)
    The current workaround of having to export the file, use another app like Graphic Converter to really change the exif data, then re-import into iPhoto (after first deleting the originals), then recreate all your Comments and Album arrangements, is clumsy, time-consuming, and when you think about it, absurd.
    PLEASE consider a User Pref to the effect of "Changing Date/Time info changes original exif data as well"? You could have it unchecked as the default; you could have all sorts of "do you really want to do that?" warnings pop up when a user does check it -- but please just give us the option!
    5) Better User Pref options.
    Give us the choice to NOT create a dupe original when a file is viewed in an external editor but no changes are made; likewise when just rotating an image within iPhoto.
    6) Better sorting/display options.
    I display my library in Rolls (each Roll being pictures taken on a particular day or at a particular event). I'd like the ability to designate how files are sorted within a particular Roll -- the pictures in some Rolls sorted by file name, the pictures in other Rolls sorted by Date & Time.
    Would also like to be able to insert dividers in the Source pane to separate some of my albums into different groups, as well as a way to set bookmarks or placeholders within a Library, as a quick shortcut to an often-viewed section for example.
    7) More e-mail attachment options.
    Within each of the Small, Medium, Large, and Actual Size choices, there should also be (perhaps under an Advanced tab) a sliding scale of jpg quality, with an instant feedback showing what the total file size will be at that particular setting.
    Also, there should be four checkboxes: one for Image Name, one for Date, one for Time, and especially one for Comments -- allowing the user to determine which of those four bits of iPhoto info are included in the e-mail attachment along with the image itself.
    8) Option to have Comments included in Captions for online albums.
    Those same four checkboxes also need to be options for any kind online album posting. It's crazy that right now I can't put up an iWeb photo page that automatically includes the Comments I've taken the time to enter in iPhoto as part of that photo's Caption online.
    9) Option to show file extension in Title
    Including or not including the .jpg or .psd or .gif extension is an option when Exporting a file; why not when displaying it as well?
    10) Option to "show all layers" of an imported Photoshop file.
    Or any kind of layered file which has been imported into the iPhoto Library.
    11) Ability to enter partial dates.
    It often happens when you import an older scanned photo into your library (or even when you're just sent a recent photo from a friend), you don't know know the exact date and/or time the picture was originally taken. iPhoto really needs a way to enter partial, approximate or estimated dates -- just the month/year without a specific day, for example -- both in the Info pane AND in Batch Change mode.
    (Also wouldn't mind a user pref option to display the Time without the seconds.)
    12) Ability to Import pictures into an already selected Roll.
    There are many times when I'd like to be able to select a particular Roll, then Import some new pics directly into that Roll -- rather than doing the Import, then having to drag the images sometimes several months back in time to drop them into the correct Roll.
    13) Ability to delete files from an Album and the Library simultaneously.
    This would be some sort of Option-Delete command, where a selected image being viewed in a particular Album is ALSO removed and sent to the Trash from the Library as well -- with the appropriate warning dialog, of course.
    14) Built-in support for doing INCREMENTAL back-ups of either your entire Library -- or only the files from selected Albums -- to another hard drive.
    I hope that most of these features have already been incorporated into the next release of iPhoto -- and if not, that you'll give serious consideration to implementing them as soon as possible. Your users will thank you.

    should add ability to scan directly to iphoto.
    How would I give this wish to apple?
    Note that under the Application Menu (in other words, in iPhoto under the bold Menu item called "iPhoto", right next to the blue Apple icon), there's a selection called Provide iPhoto Feedback. Clicking on that opens your default browser (if it's not already open), and sends you to the specific Apple webpage set up to receive user suggestions for that particular app.
    In this case, the URL is the one "Old Toad" mentioned in his post:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
    Many of the major Apple apps have this direct menu link; for others you can just go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ and navigate from there.
    They claim to actually pay attention to this kind of user input; and I've heard people say it actually does affect how the development and implementation of new features get prioritized.
    Let's hope so, anyway.

  • QuickJog 1.0 - Shuttle/Jog Replacement for Premiere CS6... almost

    quickJog 1.0 - "fixing what Adobe broke in CS6"
    a shuttle/jog replacement for Premiere/Prelude CS6
    * see below for download links and instructions *
    Introduction
    I'll waste no time in expressing my opinion on this one: I loved the jog control in previous versions of Premiere, and a small part of my heart died when I realised that those beloved controls couldn't be reinstated in CS6 (though an ever larger chunk died when I realised that Q and W don't work by default in Prelude... ).
    JKL is great as a concept, but in practice, not very responsive - it's difficult to make precise jumps in speed quickly, and I'd hate to log footage in CS6 using the JKL keys alone.
    It was whilst reading through a different thread on the forums that I had an idea. Why not just jog with the middle mouse button? REAPER uses a similar idea to great effect for scrubbing.
    And so the journey began.
    Installing/using quickJog
    Pre-requisites
    Glovepie is only available for Windows. The script, therefore, only works on Windows.
    Sorry Mac users.
    To use quickJog, you'll need to download the following:
    GlovePie, from glovepie.org. Doesn't matter whether you grab the version with or without emotiv support, as long as it's a recent version
    The quickJog script, from bit.ly/getQuickJog (unreserved thanks go to Creative Inlet Films for hosting this)
    A mouse with a middle-mouse button/clickable scroll wheel
    You'll also need to ensure:
    The JKL keys have not been re-mapped in Premiere. This is essential, as quickJog 'presses' the JKL keys to alter the jog speed in Premiere.
    Installation/usage
    Is currently as simple as...
    Start Glovepie
    From the File menu, select Open...
    Navigate to wherever you unzipped the quickJog script. Open it.
    Click the Run button
    Click the [ .] button at the end of the menu bar to minimise Glovepie to the system tray
    To shuttle, click on the program monitor, source monitor or trim monitor, and scroll the mouse wheel. This functionality is built-into Premiere. You can hold Shift for bigger jumps.
    To jog, click and hold the middle-mouse button over the source monitor, program monitor, or timeline, and move left or right to increase/decrese the jog speed (just like the old jog slider).
    QuickJog tracks the position of the mouse itself, not the position of your mouse cursor, so don't worry about the cursor touching the edge of your screen.
    Keep your eyes on the video, not the mouse!
    To exit, right-click the glovePie icon, and select Exit.
    quickJog works in Prelude too, which is pretty cool.
    Links/Misc
    HOW AWESOME WOULD SOME EXTRA BITS OF INFORMATION BE FOR THE WORLD? Like information on how to tweak the configuration variables??
    Pretty awesome, I'd say James. Have you thought about actually writing this section, then?
    Paha! Don't be crass.
    Aww.

    I stand humbly informed!
    In hindsight, I'm not surprised that the JKL keys are a popular choice amongst editors (especially for those who've moved across from other NLEs), but it does rest somewhat uncomfortably in my heart. It feels like Adobe have replaced the pedals and gearstick in my car with a keyboard: not great for those moments when a child runs into the road.
    The Shuttle Pro (and Bella to my knowledge?) controllers emulate left/right arrow keypresses to do their work, making the playback 'glitchy' during shuttle operations - I don't like that. I didn't particularly like the feel of the Shuttle Pro when I tried it either. I do like controllers like this (I have one), but have been working for some time on interfacing between the Sony 9-pin protocol and Premiere.
    As such, my intermediate preference has been to use a graphics tablet (with a keyboard) for NLE work - hence why having the jog/shuttle controls on screen was so darn useful! Now that I have quickJog mapped to the stylus eraser, edits are much faster.
    Quick aside: Huge commendations on just how much can be mapped to keyboard shortcuts in Premiere, huzzah!
