PVC on iXML metadata extension for Premiere Pro
I paid for this immediately, as iXML support in Premiere Pro is completely lacking. I wish Adobe would look at what Blackmagic Design did in DaVinci Resolve, but without this please buy this now!

You have to really have thought out your transitions, but this is really damn cool. (man naming things 1, that drives me nuts, ha).
This has been much needed for sometime, glad it is finally done.
You can also read about it at the Adobe Blog from Ashley Still.
There is some amazing stuff there, but the generative AI certainly scares me a bit. I mean who will shoot stock footage when you can just generate new shots, and since adobe generative AI is trained off stock footage will we see diminishing returns and higher costs (at the least in electricity and processing power, but also in the subscriptions to various AI models that every editor will need access too).
I can see many DR spots wanting AI generated B-roll and wanting the editor to foot the subscription bill, so they will basically be getting free b-roll.
In some ways I am excited, but still, it is crazy what is going to be happening soon, and what if your internet goes down. And after seeing some on using Sora to make a short, just how badly it responded to film making terms, so it is not going to the panacea we think it is.
OMG, why hasn’t Adobe added this functionality if it can be so well added as an extension (though it should automatically show up as it does in DaVinci). iXML Renamer is awesome and should literally not be necessary, but it is, so pay a little and install it now!
It will let you append the iXML data from your mixer into the track and clip names, which is what DaVinci does by default, and Adobe hides away in a panel that makes it all but useless.
Of course every editor would like to know what each track from the Audio Mixer is! WTF ADOBE!!!
This works better within Adobe, than with Final Cut, but still a useful article from the great Larry Jordan
This is very cool, and I can’t believe they didn’t do it sooner.
I didn’t realize that your premiere pro settings were no longer going to sync after Adobe Discontinued Creative Cloud Synced Files. Now I have always had issues with it, because they seem to get fucked up more often than they should, but it is kind of huge that this is going away.
This is going to make Digital Rebellion’s Preference Manager to be back to being a very important part of my workflow, and it should be considered the same for all editors.

I find this interesting as I love the new fade controls in the timeline (I have been using the Beta as it has fixed the timeline issue with an M2 Ultra), though I have still found some issues with tagging short clips, that just refuse to be tagged as dialogue, which is annoying, because the new features are great, but just don’t always work.
So I have posted about his one in the past because it really affects me. I hate having the monitors as separate spaces as it messed up just how I use the computer. Now it has been better with newer versions of Premiere and Mac, but is still there, and I do a lot of restarting Premiere to clear it up.
Luckily Adobe Employee Kyle Plumadore has an update:
Hi all – another update:
Apple has identified the source of the bug. I anticipate that it will be fixed in a future MacOS update. My understanding is that it’s a complex bug to fix, so it may take additional time to get fixed in the OS.
To facilitate a quicker improvement for users, Apple has also provided us with an application side code change which will workaround the bug. This change is available for testing now in the latest Premiere Pro Beta (24.2.0.34) dated 2023-12-01. I’ve verified it myself but if anyone else experiencing this bug wants to validate that this Beta version (or newer) also solves the problem on their end, that would be helpful. If we don’t find any negative side effects as a result of this workaround, it will be available in a future non-Beta version of Premiere Pro as well.
As I mentioned above, I also expect an eventual MacOS update to resolve this issue. This will be useful for those users who do not wish to update their versions of Premiere Pro.
I will provide another update when I have concrete Premiere Pro (non-beta), or MacOS version numbers which resolve the poor playback when “Displays have separate Spaces” is disabled.

So there is a workaround in the latest Beta, and at least Apple knows what is causing it, I bet they want to fix it before the M3 Ultra comes out.
