Adobe has released Adobe Premiere Pro Best Practices Workflow Guide for Long Form and Episodic, and it is a must read

Adobe has followed in the footsteps of Blackmagic and done a really great in depth manual, but this one specifically for Long Form and Episodic Workflows in Premiere Pro.

You can Download the PDF here, and it really is a must read for pros.

It goes in Depth on Hardware and settings, workflows with Dailies, Proxy workflows, working with Productions, Mutli-Camera editing, dynamic link with after effects, turnovers, remote & cloud workflows, panels and integrations, and resources & tutorials.

And right on the first stage of text it tells you why not to use Merged clips (though it doesn’t tell about the exporting XML workaround to fix it, and honestly would rather have Adobe remove the feature if they are going to say this, though really I would rather have them FIX IT).

This guide is a must read for all editors working in Premiere Pro. I love that Adobe has done this.

Scott Simmons posted this article Avid Media Composer updated to 2022.7, now with competing keyboard layouts.

I can honestly say I never though I would see the day when AVID was really trying to get people from Premiere and DaVinci.

Personally I always learn the default keyboard setup of a program, but this is great for a quick jump for people.

The Auto Transcribe is really a huge game changer, though I don’t use for Captioning though, I use it for Testimonials, and it is amazing and could really use a new interface for that use. It is amazing, and makes cutting testimonials so much faster and better.

Scott Simmons at PVC on his single most loved feature in Adobe Premiere Pro, customization, and he is right

Scott Simmons at the ProVideoCoalition has a great article entitled, “My single most loved feature in Adobe Premiere Pro.”

Customization is really the best thing about Premiere Pro.

Of course AVID was the start of this because every editor doesn’t want to work the same way or have the same setup to work on, so being able to have your own setup is so important and AVID premiered this feature in the editing space.

The original Apple Final Cut Pro also had this feature.

The new Final Cut Pro, previously Final Cut Pro X, did away with this and wants you to edit their way. You don’t have as many ways to do things and you really can’t do a lot of customization in the workspace.

DaVinci Resolve has added editing to it’s color correction program and it is great, but it also does not let you customize, it is once again how they want you to edit. Yes you can use one or two monitors, but the windows are all very fixed where they are.

Premiere though is like AVID in customization, but adds to it, especially with so many available 3rd party extensions, like from AESCRIPTS, and it’s extensive keyboard shortcut options.

Scott Simmons is so right that Premiere’s customization abilities are it’s absolute best feature and it is a shame that DaVinci Resolve doesn’t allow the same customization.

Premiere Pro Beta can now click and drag to select multiple track targets

As posted by Marjorie Sacks from Adobe int he Adobe Premiere Pro Beta discussions.

Track targeting just got a lot easier in Premiere Pro (Beta). You can select and target multiple source or target tracks by holding down CMD/CTRL as you click and drag the cursor across multiple track buttons in the timeline panel.

Holding down CMD/CTRL + Shift while dragging will invert the targeted selection.

Yea I could not be happier about this, AVID always did a better job with track selection, and this does a lot to bridge that gap.
