PVC on How to move your Adobe Premiere Pro keyboard shortcuts and user settings, most all of them

https://www.provideocoalition.com/how-to-move-your-adobe-premiere-pro-keyboard-shortcuts-and-user-settings/ 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.

OWC Rocketyard on How to Organize Your Project Files and Folders for Faster Editing in Premiere Pro

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wo80fmxUCH4&feature=emb_imp_woyt From Josh Edwards at OWC. I totally agree on the need to organize your projects, though I do numbered system as I have posted before. You can see my organization in my earlier post on PostHaste from Digital Rebellion.

Pro Media Tools from Digital Rebellion is their tool for Media and Workflow Management

 So I have been a user of the other Digital Rebellion tools, Post Haste, Preference Manager, and Pro Maintenance Tools, but I have never actually used it's Pro Media Tools available for $99. It does have some tools that I would use on occasion if I had them.Particularly it's Batch File renamer with full support for Frame Numbers, it's ability to manage markers, the ability to manage clup metadata, and especially it's Timeline Tricks, where you can collapse tracks, remove disabled clips, strip filters and markers (this could be useful in emergencies and the collapse track would be quite useful at times. And it's ability to scan for broadcast safe on files.Again a batch of useful tools that if you need them it is good to know about them in the case that you do need them.

Pro Maintenance Tools from Digital Rebellion can help maintain, optimize and troubleshoot Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro X and and Final Cut Pro 7

 So I have talked about Digital Rebellion before and Post Haste and Preference Manager, but they have 2 packages of programs to repair and I have been a user of Pro Maintenance Tools since Final Cut Pro 7.0.This suite of tools has a tool to Analyze Crashes, Repair Corrupt Files in a project (or at least help you see which ones are corrupt), Look up error messages, Manage Plugins, Schedule clearing of caches and preferences and a plug in installer.It has a huge amount of tools (though of course Post Haste and Preference Manager are free), and most you don't need until you do. This has saved me on a few projects where some media got corrupted, so it is a great tool to have around just in case, or to get in an emergency.Corrupt Clip Finder also has often shown me bad JPEG's, though I have had the problems a lot less since I stopped using JPEG's due to corruption issues.If you are having issues the $129 is quite worth the price of admission.

Post Haste from Digital Rebellion to organize your project with templates is the perfect tool to start any project

 So I am starting my posts on Adobe Premiere Pro with a 3rd party application called Post Haste from Digital Rebellion. This was the first product I remember from Digital Rebellion who also makes the Pro Maintenance Tools that I will cover here at another time.Once you donwload and install the program, which is free, you need to spend a little time setting up your templates, this means not only setting up a folder structure for your projects on the hard drive, but also setting up a project template for Premiere Pro (and After Effects if you would like), and I have shared my current template on my site (you can download it here) and will be going through it a bit in this post.This is the screen that opens up. You can select your Project Template. It will automatically update the project number. My Project name includes the client name, so I don't update that, but you can easily do it that way as wellThis the template you can download (and you put in the template folder that is set in the preferences which I show below), and it shows the file structure I have created for my projects including sub folders, so that every project has things organized the same way. Anything that is named [template] is replaced with whatever you enter in Project Name on the first page.You can see that there is a Premiere Pro project file included here as well, and I have layed that out as well (the file is for Premiere Pro 2019, and if you need a newer version, just open it and save it in the new version with the same name).I have shown my Premiere Pro project organization here. I try to match us many categories as I can, so that starting at number 04, the categories match on the hard drive and in the project. I have also included folders RENDERS and EXPORTS. I set the scratch disc for Audio and Video to the RENDERS Folder.And I export all my cuts to the EXPORTS Folder.Now this is the first Preferences page, and here you can see I have moved my Template location to iCloud, so I can access it from anywhere, but otherwise it will tell you where your templates are located.Here you can see the preference for Strict Naming and to automatically rename Template to the Project name, which actually means [template] will be renamed to the Project Name you enter on the first page.The Parameters page of the Preferences deals with the settings in the first page and how you want the renaming to go into the folder and file names, as you can see I have set to just include the Project name in the template (use in path). I don't use a date or editor name, and I include the client name with the project name it is just easier for me, but you can do it any way you would like. and you can…

Video Space from Digital Rebellion for iOS

FCP.co is reporting that Digital Rebellion has released their free Mac App Video Space for the iOS for 2.99 in the Apps Store. I have often used the Mac version to calculate disk space based on video codecs, so seeing it for the iPhone and iPad is quite welcome.
