+1 on having issues with the way the new video enhancements work/don't work. I truly appreciate Cake taking a step in the right direction but it doesn't really help.
I was working on a :30 commercial that had 6 plus seconds at the front and I had to line up the start of the commercial with bar 2 and after 45 minutes of wasting my time was not able to do so. I then edited the video so it would exactly start at bar 2 when loaded, and the frames would not match up. I reverted using the direct show way and cut the video to exactly frame 1 and had it start at bar 2. (so glad they did this!)
The problems for me are:
1. you cannot slip the movie in the timeline
2. you cannot select audio(ie dialogue/sfx) and video and move them together
3. you cannot add time/frames back in.
4. Video only starts at bar 1
5. You can't undo if you cut too much from the front. You have to reload.
6. The frames didn't seem to line up with the timecode on the video (was working at 23.976)
7. Sonar seems to choke on processing the film. It takes 5 seconds to start after hitting play. It runs terrible with the clip I had loaded.
But no such issues occur with same video on other sequencing software.
It's great that we can now play the standard videos in the industry but how they are treated needs to be looked at. Two steps forward, one back!
