Any such thing as auto source patching?

[amytk]

Moving from Media Composer to Premiere, one of the things I miss most is the simplicity of switching activated tracks and having the source patching follow automatically. I've tried a few things, but there doesn't seem to be such a solution within CC17. Hoping I'm wrong tho! Thanks in advance for any guidance!

If I'm reading this correctly, you want to hold down the option/alt key while drag/replacing a clip. Is this what you mean or is it something else?

Sorry, difficult to explain. In Media Composer, if you change the track you want to insert or overwrite a clip on to, when you select the clip by highlighting the track number to the left of the timeline, the source patch follows that selection automatically. The way Premiere does it, not only do I have to select the track I want to drop the clip on to, I have to change the source patch to that same track manually. Uugghhh. Hope that's a better description! Thanks!

That is the way Pr works. Pr. does not automaticly follow the targeting.

If you right click on the source patch area there are a few options.

Have no idea how Avid works but i would say: Nope not really.

If you double click on a clip in the Project window to open in the Source Monitor, a video and audio track is patched.

No dice I'm afraid

The solution is to go to adobe.com/go/wish and ask for 'auto-patching like Avid' - the more asking for it the more chance we have of getting it. I don't think you need to be any more erudite than that - there have been plenty of folks requesting it.

(It would probably require a major rethink of their patching though, as the source side always overwrites the record side, regardless of track selection on the record side. Whilst that is annoying at times, I did find that I mssed it today, when I was back on Avid!)

Here's a few 'auto patch' threads that come up in a search...
