Hi, Meg. Thanks again for taking time... and I hear you when advise to "embrace the differences..." I do plan to, to a certain degree. There are just a few things that are so ingrained in my muscle memory, that I'm hoping to hang on to a few cross-over keystrokes.
As far as an example goes, I'm going to make up a scenario:
I have a clip of a snowboarder in my source monitor. I have a sequence ending with a clip of mountains in my record monitor. Both sides have audio.
In Avid, I would do this:
1) Select an In-point at the end of the mountain sequence
2) Hit [command+A] to select all video and audio tracks in the sequence
3) Select an In-point in the source/snowboarder window, Again, hit [command +A] to select all the tracks associated with the file (video and audio).
4) Insert/overwrite an edit
(so, I activate what I want command+A to mean by clicking on either the source or record/timeline monitor... and it doesn't distinguish between audio and video or source/record--- so long as I have the correct window activated)
In Premiere, I would either select the tracks I want to be active with my mouse on each side or I'd have to do this?:
1) Select an In-point at the end of the mountain sequence
2) Hit [command+9] to select all audio tracks in timeline
3) Hit [command + 0] to select all video tracks in timeline
4) Hit [command+shift+9] to select all audio from the source
5) Hit [command+shift+0] to select all the video from the source
6) Insert/overwrite an edit
Am I missing something, maybe? How do you select the tracks you want active? By clicking them or with shortcuts?
Thanks again!
OK, I think I see what you are saying. I think our styles of editing are different, so what I do may not be applicable to you.
If you put a clip in the source monitor and mark an in point, if you use the Insert button (or shortcut key) or the Overwrite Button (or shortcut key) the video and audio are toggled and routed the way the Track Targeting and Source Routing buttons are set.
But if you either click down on the Drag Video button (to drag video only) , or the Drag Audio Button (to Drag Audio Only) or click down in the source monitor itself (to Drag both Audio and Video) you can drag the material you've marked and place it on the timeline regardless of what the status of the Track Targeting and Source Routing buttons are. In the last case, this will drag all the audio channels and the video while doing so.
This will overwrite the source material over whatever you place it on in the timeline. If you want to insert it instead, hold down the Command (Control) key while dragging to the timeline.
