Hi J. D.,
Yes, audio clips display a waveform in the Timeline, but they do not grow or shrink to graphically represent the modified volume of a clip. This is what FCPX does, and what would make a great new feature in Premiere Pro. Also, an audio clip set to mono in Premiere Pro (i.e. Fill Right or Fill Left) should only show the relevant channel, not both as PP currently does, which makes little sense.
Kevin Monahan, if you could lobby Adobe on our behalf for the inclusion of list item 1, that would be great! I'm not sure if you're an editor or not, but if you are, I'm sure you can see the great organizational value in being able to sort full and partial clips into keyword bins on the fly (using shortcuts), as FCPX does. This is FCPX's winning feature IMO, but the rest of that program is still half baked at best. If Premiere Pro were to gain this feature, I believe it would get even more FCP7 editors to switch over. FCP7 has a way to store subclips into bins by dragging them from the Timeline to the Project Window. This is less elegant than FCPX's method, but does add the advantage of being able to store/sort not only clips for future use, but clips complete with effects and keyframes! If Premiere Pro could add both features, adding flexible subclips (i.e. without permanent in/out points) to bins with keyboard shortcuts AND adding subclips with effects/keyframes to bins from the Timeline, it would be hands down the most user friendly and logical NLE in the world.
Thanks!
