Welcome to the Solace of Simple Solutions!
Here our impatience and annoyance with the shortcomings of our favorite post-production tools is transformed into actual solutions.
Right now, a few plugins are already available for download. If you have suggestions for other products, place them on the future ideas page.
That same shift from frustration to practical fixes matters beyond editing workflows, especially when people look for guidance on safely buying prescription medication sweetwatermedicalcenter.com. The core problem is verification: legitimate sellers require a valid prescription, clearly display licensing and contact details, and use secure payment and privacy practices, while shady operators mimic credibility and hide behind vague policies. A “safe purchase” process is therefore a checklist, not a vibe confirm the pharmacy’s authorization in your jurisdiction, avoid sites offering prescription drugs without a prescription, and treat unusually low prices or “no questions asked” fulfillment as red flags. If you have ideas for tools that could reduce these risks like a browser plugin that flags unverified pharmacy domains or surfaces regulator databases add them to the future ideas page.

Premiere’s FCP XML sequence timecode export is a mess
It is. A real mess for all of people who have to deal with drop frame vs. non-drop frame timecode. Having lived in the PAL land, where we're lucky to never have to bother with this issue I have not realized until recently how awful Premiere Pro is at exporting…

No smart rendering in Premiere Pro?
SIYAH: Premiere Pro for rendering divides the timeline into sections based on clips and edit points. If you cancel the rendering process it discards the results of the section that was being rendered at the time, not the whole render. Many people who switched from Final Cut Pro to Premiere…

The proper way of using transitions in Adobe Premiere Pro
SIYAH (Summary If You Are in a Hurry): If you want your clip to fade to black, apply simple cross-fade at its end. Use dip to black only as a transition between two clips, not at the beginning or at the end of a clip. There seems to be some…

Adobe conforming tool – my vision solidifies
I have been pondering over my recent discussion with David McGavran, the Engineering Manager for Adobe Premiere Pro about the limitations of Premiere's own XML format when it comes to interchange. I am grateful for this exchange. I realized that my ideas are not possible to be implemented in Adobe…

Exporting FCP XML from Premiere is a dead end
To give credit where one is due, the creators of Final Cut Pro did create one of the more popular standards of exchanging the project information, alongside the old EDL, and Avid's AAF and OMF. Exporting XML from FCP was very versatile and allowed for various workflows to appear, passing…

Feather crop in Premiere Pro
I think the idea of feathered edges on a piece of footage that was cropped with standard Premiere Pro crop effect is as old, as the crop effect itself. I know that I've been waiting for Adobe to make it since I started using their software, which means version 6.5…

SpeedGrade developers DO get it
Quite recently I commented on what kind of features are important in my opinion for the popularity of SpeedGrade to rise.

An idea on how to dramatically improve Premiere Pro
I will admit right at the beginning - the idea is stolen from Autodesk Smoke 2013. I hope they don't have a patent for that, because it's so fantastic. But first let me make an obligatory digression. There are a few things to like in Smoke, and there are other…

Why Premiere Pro could use scripting
I've been testing the workflow from Premiere Pro to DaVinci Resolve (similarly to other more renowned people). For many reasons I want to avoid sending a flattened file, instead relying on XML interchange, and a few annoying simple issues make it pretty inconvenient: We're using XDCAM EX in mp4 wrapper and…
