    For a lot of the people I know who've come over to PrPro from some version of FCP, the options for changing default settings, keyboard shorts & such aren't obvious. Such as ... go to the Keyboard shorts option on the edit menu (or Cmd/Ctrl-Alt-K), the very top of the box is a setting that initially say 'Default' ... there are several options there, including setting the keyboard shorts to the FCP7 "default" settings for those things that are equivalent.

    The entire key-board shorts is setup to be modified by users, including a TON of commands that aren't assigned to anything. Scroll down into the ones without assignment, there's a lot of things.

  • @cls105 Why don't you just set it in preferences? ("Default scale to frame size" under General tab). And you can create a shortcut for that (just find "scale" and you see that options there).

  • The above are noted. I'll check with the Great Red Father in the morning (Monday).

  • its prettying annoying in premiere how there is no shortcut for fit to fill.

    Unless if you want a popup to come up every time you overwrite edit. Also there is a maximum % for motion fx (speed ramps).

    I don't have this problem in avid media composer with either.

  • @rNeil Will they be fixing chromatic aberration when your working with CDNG file formats? Examples footage coming from Blackmagic Cameras, and especially files that are coming from Magic Lantern Raw.

  • I'm headed off to NAB ... any questions you want asked of the Adobe folks, post here and I'll try to get a response.

  • Create proxies in Premiere Pro CC 2015

  • Some people using SpeedGrade also have found they need to actually download the codec, which you don't if you're just working in PrPro.

    And yea, that weird yellow thing ... I've tested a bunch for that, but it only seems to be "there" on my tests IF the scene is heavy in tones very close to skin ... and then it's annoying but I just cut over to SpeedGrade where it doesn't exist.

  • Media encoder installs it. The yellow bias in lumetri saturation is still there.

  • With the release yesterday of the 2015.1 update to all the Adobe apps, some of the issues for lag, poor link between PrPro & SpeedGrade using the "Direct Link" process, a number of other things are fixed or working better, even with El Capitan on the Macs. Not perfect mind you, but thankfully many things have been fixed, including adding in HEVC (H.265) support. Although some Windows users may need to download the HEVC codec pack from DivX ..

    Case anyone used CC Time Blend FFX plugin (easy way of making star trails in a timelapse ) and misses it from AE CC 2015... adobe blaims cycorefx for its extinction and cycore... well cycore staff went to see greek tragedies, got almost humanized and made a preset that workarounds the "unconvenience of the situation", still limited to 16bpc max // install instructions within

    These Animation Presets makes it possible to apply and use the obsolete versions of Time Blend and Time Blend FX in After Effects CC 2015, without having to open old projects that uses the plug-ins. The obsolete versions are 16 bpc in the CycoreFX HD package.

    Maybe not ... IF there are no effects and you're just using it as a video player. But then ... why use an NLE for a basic player? And there are some people who do edit on pretty decently high-end laptops.

    As soon as you start doing anything to the image, PrPro 'stores' those commands in its own project files, databases & caches ... and then uses those stored commands to process the media off the disc on the fly to create the image you see in the playback monitor. Even with not a lot applied, it starts to load down many computers. Certain effects can really hog resources.

    And of course ... it has to be a 64-bit OS.

    Neil

  • @rNeil I just wanted to know some hint of what is possible. I have an idea to improve video image in real time some times when I dont want to edit a final program. Just use editor as player. I have no editor today and I have wondered that I must update my 4 years old computer. I think that hard disks setup has no importance of preview speed when using one clip in time line.

  • @Vesku

    Testing on mine won't matter for yours ... btw, I've got a twin-RAID 0 array for OS, an SSD cache disk, and 4 internal HDs on SATA III, and two externals on eSATA II.

    Give me your computer & I can give a much better idea how it will work for you.

    Neil

  • @rNeil

    Thanks, so many variables... Can you test my example with your setup and tell the result? What computer set up do you have?

  • @Vesku

    Partly depends on the codec used ... although PrPro 'handles' natively most anything, the in-built mov/mp4 files are rather compressed, so I know a few people that decided to transcode to either ProRes (Mac) or DNxHD (Pc) just to get a less-compressed file that doesn't rag the CPU as much for decoding. It is, of course, a bigger file but their setups have a 'dedicated' media internal HD with full mobo connections, so the read situation for the media is hot.

    With a good setup for PrPro, it typically does ok ... and naturally, if you're throwing on several effects, you might need to render a section of the timeline previews for smoothest playback.

    So ... with separate discs for OS/programs; media; project files; and cache/preview/database all running SATAii internal or external or Thunderbolt, and say 32GB RAM, and a decent graphics card with 2GB vRAM or better, it should work pretty good.

    A constant slow-down is not having enough fast disc connections so that everything is on one or two drives. Then it's not your CPU, RAM, or GPU that slows things up ... just not enough capacity for the through-put to disc & back. Media is a one-way read-only operation, so for up to full-HD (1920x1080) you can typically get by with a fast SSD or flash-drive for that on a USB3 connection. However, 4k material for most people doesn't work fast enough over USB3.

  • Sorry I have not red all the replys but is it possible to preview smoothly with Premier cc GH4 4k files when there is one alpha mask curve correction in 4k timeline and 4k display? I mean 30P 4k without any dropped frames. How powerful computer/graphics card it needs?

  • It could be that the mixer implementation is adding latency on top of the ASIO panel latency. You could try just running windows/Mac mixer, whatever you are using, to see if that is the case.

  • @DrDave Thanks for the heads up. And what a shame. I now simply use 2015 as the final output to do fast color correction with lumetri when I don't want to go through Resolve.

    But yeah, my sound card uses ASIO drivers so this glitch makes CC 2015 very difficult to work with for regular editing/sync work. Hopefully they'll get these issues fixed sooner rather than later but I'm not holding my breath.

    That being said, I appreciate the latency tweak setting as it will make sync issues during color correction that much less distracting.

  • @Spacewig this is for sure a problem at all levels, and also affects the ability to precisely set audio sync when scrubbing at slow speeds which has been a disaster for some time--and is not likely to be fixed in the future. Fact is, the audio has been really screwed up for several update cycles.

    However, you can minimize the damage by setting the audio delay to 50 in the settings panel. It looks like it only affects ASIO, but it also affects the basic mixer. Typically, by adjusting this setting, you can reduce the inherent latency by 150ms or more. However, this will not eliminate the problem, and what is needed is an overhaul of the whole mixer.

  • @spacewig

    There are some number of users having the issue you're having, many not. It's something they've noted awareness of and anticipate the next update will fix. No timetable on that however. We are coming into the middle of the area they have released a patch in the last couple cycles ... just as historical reference.

    2015 has been perhaps a "transitional" ish ... they changed a lot under-the-hood so to speak it seems. Some worked well for quite a few systems, some work but not so well, and on some systems ... no worky at all noway zip nada. For me, general stuff works fine (and I've not had the latency issue, also running Win7), but ... the Direct Link to SpeedGrade sometimes works and sometimes is slow a n d l a g g y . . . so I'm still running some things through 2014.2 my self, and know some others who are flippin' power-editors with Adobe stuff doing the same.

    And I know some editors who are ripping along in 2015 without troubles. Ah well, ours not to reason why ... ;-)

  • I'm running CC2015 on win7 and PrePro is still not capable of playing files without significant audio latency even though they play fine in CC2014. I'm still waiting for a working version so no one should hold their breath on Adobe releasing major bug-fix updates.
