Hi Kevin,
I have a few more questions if you don't mind.
- In the Adobe Premiere Pro Preview PDF, it states: "Source sequences can now be edited into other sequences without nesting, retaining all of their component tracks and clips." It sounds like this just means the equivalent of a copy/paste of all contents when dragging a sequence from the Project window into another sequence that's open in the Timeline. Is this correct or does it mean that nests can be unnested/renested the way they can in FCPX?
- Has the persistent trim tool selection problem been fixed? (i.e. if a user click-selects an edit point with the Selection Tool (red indicator), they can't toggle that selection to the Ripple Tool (yellow indicator) without first unselecting the selection. This is a royal pain for many, myself included, so hopefully this has or still can be fixed.)
- Can subclips be created with imbedded effects? (i.e. the way FCP7 allows users to drag/drop clips from the Timeline to a bin, with all applied effects/keyframes preserved, for use later down the road).
By the way, you were right when you wrote that you thought I'd be happy with this upgrade. From what I've seen so far, it seems like a solid upgrade! Just the fixes to multicam and subclips alone make it worthwhile for me. My only concern is that I feel Adobe shouldn't use bug fixes to force users to upgrade. For example, the well known multicam problem should have been fixed in a free update, IMO, rather than only included in the next version of PP (thereby forcing users who depend on proper multicam tools to upgrade). I will be upgrading as soon as it's released, so it doesn't affect me, but I'm thinking about those who use multicam but won't/can't upgrade until later.
