Color finesse 3 premiere pro1/18/2023 In the second shot, I used FILM DISSOLVE and it maintains more of the cloud layer as the whites carry over. In the first shot, I used CROSS DISSOLVE over the lead actor and an overlay of clouds. Usually, in CROSS DISSOLVE the highlights fade away quickly and turn a fake grey muddy color for a second… translation UGLY. Somewhere in there is the answer.Īll I know is that FILM DISSOLVE gives a more organic transition that deals with the highlights better. Then they said gamma, highlights, 32-‐bit, curve, log, and pixel. The technical explanation of the difference is that FILM DISSOLVE has a linear light response. (CMD+Q makes any transition you highlight in your video transition folder the default.) CROSS DISSOLVE FILM DISSOLVEįilm Dissolve versus Cross Dissolve Film Dissolve is a new transition that I make my default instead of CROSS DISSOLVE. This brings me to a new addition to CS 5.5… the FILM DISSOLVE transition. They’re bunched together at the top left of the keyboard and I don’t use them for “go to in point” and “go to outpoint” as the default in FCP.ĬS 5.5 doesn’t have the right-click apply video transition or audio transition option but I prefer using a keyboard shortcut for this anyway. I like to set the Keyboard shortcut “Q” to be my default video transition and “W” to be my default audio transition. I personally make the MAXIMIZE UNDER CURSOR my (`) shortcut instead of MAXIMIZE FRAME. That’s one less keystroke you probably use thousands of times a day. Now, you can hit “SHIFT+`“ and it will maximize the panel your cursor is hovering over and you don’t have to select that panel before maximizing. The accent (`) key that I mentioned last time (I called it tilde last time but I’ve been since informed by a prickly fellow editor that it’s actually the accent (`) key) makes the active frame maximize to full screen. It flew across my edit suite into a wall. In CS 5, you had to hunt for the function (that may be named something different than what you are used to) and this caused a couple of “accidental” catastrophic failures to my mouse. You can now enter the function you’re looking for and as you type… those matching functions and preset shortcuts pop up. The little change that rocks is the Search Bar above the shortcuts. Last time, I mentioned it has an FCP 7 and Avid MC 5 template and both are updated with the newest configurations of the host program. Under the Premiere Pro tab is Keyboard Shortcuts. I hate digging through menus and submenus to do one little thing a keystroke can do. I like to do as much work from the keyboard and shortcuts as possible. I like things in lists, so here’s mine for new features that help me work faster and better. My last post concentrated on the creative process and editing aesthetics, so, this time around let’s geek out on tech and spec stuff that’s new in CS 5.5. What I want to focus on in this blog is the little things in PP CS 5.5 that make a big difference. I won’t delve any deeper into the option of using Final Cut Pro X but to say that it does not fit into my workflow and too many professional options are missing. I was excited to see what the new Final Cut Pro X was going to give us. Since coming out, I was on CS 5 and wanted to compare the two. I’ve been running it nonstop for the last couple of months. My choice of NLE is Adobe Premiere CS 5.5(you can find the 30-day trial here). Once the shooting is done, my job begins. To be on the cutting edge of this new era in filmmaking, I’m privileged to get my hands on Shane’s footage that, regardless of camera, is always stunning and a joy to cut. There’s an old saying: “I may be dumb but I’m not stupid.”…I said yes. About a month ago, Shane asked me to join the Elite Team as his editor.
