Make a media player for small film festivals that on the chosen output (HDMI output) has the framerate of the played file.
A player with a playlist in which you can set the audiolevel of each file, set audio routing for each file, insert stills with a duration you can set while playing some music which you can set to a certain level.
It should play all possible files (like Premiere). With a Black Magic shuttle you can alter the framerate on the output of the blackmagic box. This means the Cinema beamer with HDMI in will switch (*****) to theinputted HDMI framrate. Thus finally the frameskipping of a Macbook pro or Imac is gone.
A Imac with a second screen (being the cinema beamer/projector) you have to set the refreshrate of the Imac, you can choose between 50hz or 60Hz. This is OK for 25 Frames per second (50Hz) or 30 Frames per second 60 Hz. Switching is manual and causes a black screen on the output while retiming. And all of the films of 24 Frames per second, 23,98 and 29, 97 have frames skipped since their timing does not fit onto 30 or 50 cycles.

It is about time that you come with a player for this purpose to accomodate small festivals that cannot afford DCP players, although it would be brilliant if your player would do DCP's as well.
But the playlist needs to be programmable, just like CueLab (Cuelab does not switch timing on the output either). Maybe Cuelab is a bit elaborate but a good example!

good luck let me know when it is ready so I can Test it :-)

I am a Motion Designer, Video and Podcast Editor. This means I work with After Effects (AE), Premiere Pro (PP) and Audition (Au) in combination.

There is a great feature in PP, where after one splits a clip using CTRL+K, the clip left of the split is highlighted and can immediately be ripple deleted with SHIFT+Delete. This is a super fast and efficient functionality for video editing.

I would love it, if this functionality was also available in Au. The same shortcuts for split and ripple delete exist but without the highlight feature (of the clip left of the split). Currently, I have to manually highlight the lip to be deleted and ripple delete the track. It would really speed up my workflow if the highlight feature was added to Au, the way it is in PP.

I think the Premiere Pro and Ingest settings and Project Manager windows are great. Can we integrate these media management in all of the video apps, including after effects and audition?

usually, I ingest all my media to a specific folder, and I am bouncing back and forth between all the apps, but when I find new media to use, I need to add it to premiere before in import it into AE.it would be amazing if I can add media to after effects and it adds it to the same folder that I already designated as my ingest folder, without having to go into premiere first, let it copy and import, then import it into AE then start working on it...

Is this a possibility?

When I switch computers and 'log out, and sign off of computer X' so I can use CC on computer B..., A: We should only have to do that once, and not each time I open another CC app, i.e. render with M.E..
and B:... when I do sign in (again), it shouldn't force me to save AE changes and quit the app. just so I can relaunch it. I haven't noticed this with PS and AI, but happens every day with DVA apps: AE, M.E. and I think premier. Even signing in and logging out from the CC control panel app, before I start any apps, doesn't fix it. Logged in 5 times this morning.

A lot of us just stick to basic dissolves, but if you watch any show on TLC, you'll notice lots of custom video transitions. Lens flares, complex animations, and more. You could argue that these transitions are tacky and garrish, but sometimes, if used correctly, can really add to a production.

The current way to do transitions like these is to send the head and tail of each video clip to After Effects and do the transition there. The only problem is that this isn't flexible, and if you want to roll the edit or trim some frames, you have to go over the whole process again. If the transition is just an overlay with blending modes, then you're using up an entire layer for video transitions, which seems unnecessary.

Imagine creating a custom transition template within After Effects that you could apply to video in Premiere Pro the same way you'd apply a video transition.

You could create (or download creations) of transitions that use motion blur, flares, blending modes, and more, and skip having to jump into After Effects every time you want to apply the transition.

It may be too ambitious of a feature to request, but that's what votes are for. Also, transitions and it's respective interface in Premiere Pro is showing it's age. So maybe it's not so far-fetched.
