Thanks! > Be aware of variable frame rate footage, make me aware and have clear ways to deal with the issues. Adobe software lets you screw yourself with this, it’ll import fine, not warn you but then your exports will have seemingly random weirdness like flashes of green for single frames that’ll make you think your hardware is failing. I do handle this pretty well. I have a "properties" pane, and for media, if you click the "media" icon, I will show info for each video, which includes the frame rate. I will convert that frame rate into your project's frame rate, by a simple convert X FPS to Y FPS algorithm. You'll never see any flashes of green. > Use as much power of my gpus as you can, if I have a high end nvidia gpu I want to see it acting like a hot knife through butter. Agreed 200% - you'll see your GPU sweating, trust me ;) > When I drag footage in a timeline update the display, Premier shockingly doesn’t do this. I do this, and if I understand correctly what you mean, I give you a bonus feature: instant preview all the time, while you hover the mouse through the timeline (like Final Cut). And as an extra bonus, something not even Final Cut has, I will give you specific preview, based on where you are in the timeline - if you're hovering a specific video track, I'll preview that only, otherwise, I'll preview all the video tracks + applied effects. > Reload footage button, another thing Adobe Premier doesn’t have. Not sure what you mean - when should this be applied?

> Not sure what you mean Say I 3D render out an image sequence, do some video work then re-render over the original files, in After Effects I can right click that image sequence in the file list and hit reload and it will reload those files from disk and clear the cache so you see the updated sequence in your composition. Premier doesn't have this feature, sometimes it just updates anyway but often it doesn't and the only real solution is closing the app and reopening.

  Thanks, got it now! I use a different rendering process, and at this time, there's no need for this (the GPU can do all the work real time). Everything I've dealt with so far didn't require pre-rendering yet. I may end up doing this in the future for insanely complicated scenarios. Otherwise, I do a lot of optimization behind the scenes for loading the video frames (I've made my own PRORES-lookalike format), while applying all effects on the GPU. If I will end up implementing this, I will also allow for a Refresh footage button :P
