Shane_Ross Aug 13, 2013 2:37 PM (in response to danzg)For the record, FCP hasn't been around for 20 years (but Avid has)...and FCP couldn't media manage like this until 2004. Still, that's nearly 10 years. And I agree, not being able to do this in Premiere is a major drawback to the "always working native" workflow. And since there is to way to highlight your sequence and transcode it to a format that will allow this...is also an issue.
Working native has it's value, but also it's shortcomings.

PREMIERE CANNOT TRIM LONG GOP MEDIA? ARE YOU SERIOUS?
FCP has been able to do this since, like, the 20th century. Avid even earlier.
How can Premiere not be able to transcode media??!?!?!?
Please tell me I'm missing something!
Hi danzg,
Yes, it's a common feature request. Make yours here: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish Sorry if this caused you problems.
To be fair, trimming Long GOP footage in any app is problematic due to its nature as an interframe codec. It's not precise.
If you wish to have the capability of trimming your project in Premiere Pro, you should transcode your footage to an intraframe codec first. Prelude is a great app to get this done.
Thanks,
Kevin

I hear you, Shane. You have to weigh the pluses and minues before you begin editing. Of course, you can go "non-native" as well. Just transcode to ProRes or DNxHD before you get started.
We know about this shortcoming and are working on it.
Cheers,
Kevin
