Question

Is it possible to have a pop-up of to-do/tasks when opening projects?

Hey!

 

I was wondering if there was any way, when you first open your project, for a pop-up to display with a list or maybe a checklist of pending tasks, things to do, reminders and so on?

 

  • e.g. do lower third for X clip of <whoever> at TC xx:xx:xx:xx
  • tweek colours on sunset cutaway at TC xx:xx...
  • try and fix the god awful sound on street interview with X at TC xx:xx...
  • chase up <whoever> for location cutaways ASAP

 

I work with many projects simultaneously and generally, I've been putting text over a slug with my task list.

 

Any input would be appreciated,

 

Thanks peeps,

 

Joe

I thought Clip and Timeline markers with comments would do most of that. You'd drop them right at the TC you want them, and view them in the Markers window. And maybe have the text file for other notes...

Hey!

 

The only reason i don't do that is because i like to mark segments that need to sync with rapid cuts yo music and any lower third names on interviews. 

 

Cinema 4D has a kind of popup feature, usually used for credits when sharing files. 

 

Really appreciate everyone's help. 

Maybe i can just drag and drop the project and a txt files into a shell script and use that in place of opening projects. Hmmm, that wouldn't work for recent projects tho...or version control. Hmm. Just trying to think of ways to combine everyone's different suggestions. 

 

Thanks for helping,

Joe

    It's tempting to try that sort of thing...but in the long run sometimes paper and pencil is just faster.

     

    I started using resolve and did tutorials... and one was about markers and 'notes' ... so you can select a marker or go through them with shortcut key, but I work on such simple stuff it's just faster to do that stuff with paper ( I made a lined sheet that has clip name, TC, INT / EXT, NIGHT/DAY, ACTION NEEDED and stuff like that and just print them out when I need more empty sheets ).

    Hey!

    Thanks! This is what i used to do. I prefer pen and paper, but as i have to work on 5 or 6 projects simultaneously and chase up people for footage that hasn't come in yet, it became unwealdy!

     

    Thank you for helping,

    Not "natively".

     

    You can use a basic text editor like Window's Notepad to make a text file, then drag/drop that onto the Project panel and use that from within Premiere ... you can open it, make your notes and close it.

     

    There was a plugin called Post Notes that was at postnotes.io ... but that link goes to nothing now, and I can't find any updated location, so I assume that is now dead.

    Everyone's mileage always varies ...

    Thanks!

    It's a shame something like this doesn't exist, it would be really helpful for me with so many projects to edit concurrently!

     

    Clearly there's no demand for a feature like this 😕😕

     

    Cheers again for your help,
