Back to Premiere from Davinci Resolve - my pain points
Hello Peeps, I hope you are all doing well and CV19 free!
I just spent 2 years using Davinci Resolve and am now happy to be back with Premiere. Resolve has some great bits, but there are many things I find very limiting and poorly executed. Also, AE is just so much easier than Fusion.
Here are a few things I have found challenging about Premiere in the last few days editing.
1/ There is no ability to graphically see which portion of a clip has been used. Often in making a video, one clip could contain a dozen usable bits. It would be very useful to have a line to show what has been used, not simply the current IO positions for each clip. Display of IO positions of a clip have never had any functional use for me, as the clip has already been edited into the timeline most probably, so there is no call for this being a priority when double clicking the clip opens it in source monitor where the IO can be more accurately seen anyway!
2/ There is no command to switch selected clip on the timeline with the previous or next clip. Is very useful to perform this accurately as drag and drop can inadvertently snap to a track which is imperceivably near, but not at the same place in time, so you can get poor results.
3/ I don't see a command to load source clip from bin to Source monitor, and there is no way to play clip in bin (without mousing about) - so this lacks keyboard control ability. ENTER simply allows you to rename the clip, it would be good to prioritise commands for a mouse free edit... much faster than mousing about, but one needs the commands.
4/ this is a smaller thing, but IMO the command to remove In and Out points would be much more sensible if it was Alt-X. This is more logical because X is used to select the clip at CLI cursor position, and ALT-X would remove those points. Alt is directly below X so this would be a very easy solution instead of the multi-keyed current command.
Thanks!
