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.

I think Strange New Worlds is the first real Star Trek in years (other than Orville which is obviously Star Trek the Next Generation without the name). I am loving the show, so loved the read of Jose Antunes at Pro Video Coalition.

The Alexa 35 looks amazing and it looks like Alexa has done it again, though way out of my price range.

Here are some links and videos I checked out about it.

Potato Jet has a video Review.

Brian Hallett at ProVideoCoalition has a look at it.

As does Yaroslave Altunin at No film School.

I edit a lot of spots shot with Arri, so hopefully will run into some footage from one of these soon.

I just wish that Adobe would allow us to not have the damned AMIRA Lut automatically applied, especially since it doesn’t do this for other cameras. On a pro editing system I want to control it,

Again not in the release notes, but as reported at Adobe User Voice, Adobe gas fixed the ability to chose a name by clicking on a file, though it isn’t thhe same on windows as the post says.

I love that adobe is fixing this stuff, but wish it was in the release notes.
