        You can make presets of any effect with keyframes relative (anchored) to the in/outpoint of a clip.

          >Please after using Clip > Scale to Sequence, DO NOT have the new Scale factor in the Motion tab change the clip's scale to 100%.

           

           

          Well, it IS useful for some workflows like an offline/online in a different resolution. Kind of. The problem is not that it puts the scale size at 100%.

           

          The problem is that it scales the image down to frame size, then if you enlarge the image in the edit and you do not turn off "scale to frame size", PPro effectively scales the image down, then scales it back up.

           

          Where to scale to frame size can be particularly useful, is when you are doing an offline/online with different source resolution, eg. 4K RAW, 1080p ProRes proxy edit. So during the offline edit, you scale some footage up to 200%, because you figure that once you re-link to the 4K rushes, everything should look all fine and dandy, and you don't actually have to worry about fixing the zoom during the online. But when you are actually doing the online and you are finally linked to the 4K rushes, because of the way Premiere works, the 4k image will be shrunk to 1080, then blown back up to 200%, leaving the images with the 200% zoom looking a little pixelated. So this seemingly nifty feature just shot itself in the foot.

           

          I've worked on shows where we did offline in SD, and then re-linked to HD during the online. One of the main issues we've had was when we used a high resolution still image in the offline (and for the purpose of the offline, we'd create a low rez version of the image to save rendering time), once we did the online in HD, we had to re-do all the scale and motion keyframes because the source frame size and the sequence frame size is different. This sort of notation would have been nice to have during the online, if it didn't send the image through 2 transform nodes.

           

          You mentioned cutting HD in an SD sequence.. so, yea, when you need to zoom up, uncheck "scale to frame size".

            Hi Steven,

             

            Thanks for your response.  However, I don't think the Style Library is an acceptable alternative to my suggested Font Folders.

            Why?

            1. No automation (My solution includes an automatically created folder for each Premiere Project, for easy reference to fonts used in other projects).
            2. The Style Library sets all font parameters, as you mentioned, not just the font itself (so if I want to test 5 potential 'Wedding' fonts for a Title, using the Style Library would screw up my title's settings such as Size, Shadow and Strokes).
            3. The Style Library only exists in Premiere Pro.  The Font Organizational tools I'm suggesting would work in all appropriate CS programs (Photoshop, AE, Illustrator, etc.) and bring much needed consistency and intelligent Font list organization across the CS suite.

             

            Cheers

              Hi Ann,

              You're right, but the fact that keyframes can be 'anchored' in an effect preset does not solve any of the issues my Feature Request addresses.

               

              To clarify: the problem is that after applying keyframes to a clip, it is currently imposible to have those keyframes remain anchored to the clip's in/out points when trimming/slipping or adding transitions to that clip.  Without the tool I suggest, effect keyframes almost always end up in the wrong possition relative to the clip and/or to the Timeline when doing any trimming/slipping.  This is why the tool I am suggesting is so needed. 

               

              Hope this clarification helps.

               

              One detail I'm not sure of is whether a Keyframe anchor tool would best be applied, for simplicity's sake, on a clip basis (i.e. 1 master toggle in the Effect Controls window), or, for customizability's sake, on an effect basis (i.e. 1 toggle for each individual effect in the Effect Controls window).

               

              Thoughts?  Ideas?  Please share!
