a couple things I absoutely hate about CS4
I have been using CS3 for last year or so.
Recent upgrade to CS4 has been so much pain: new encoder, exporting bitmap, assigning source video, multiple choice on time track has been annoying me so much... New encoder has been such a pain because I can't deinterlace option whenever I want. I still haven't found how to export the clip to deinterlaced h.264 from 60i footage directly (without exporting it to progressive avi then to h.264). Also I have to re-assign the render area at the encoder. I don't export the whole thing very often, so I have to always cancel the encoder to check back since I can'd do it with export setting window. When I try to export to screenshot (from source window), the export setting doesn't tell me exactly what time code that I am exporting... it shows in and out point, but what's the time code??? assigning source video option seems another copycat of Final Cut. I really like the old way. Click the track to select it. I know the purpose of selecting multiple tracks to put the same effect on multiple tracks, but I haven't found it very useful yet since almost one track is to be appeared on screen. It also annoys me that page up and down button only works with the track that has been selected. So I have to click on every tracks to move around and de-click so that the effect doesn't affect all the tracks... Am I am only the one with all these frustration? I am sure there are some upgrades that are helpful, but I haven't seen a single pros on CS4 but 4 crucial cons on my workflow.. I want to change back to CS3, but I already started 4 brand new project with CS4 and kind of too late to start it all over... headaches... ouch.. Hopefully I will get used these tiresome elements, but I see myself changing back to CS4 in a couple weeks... Any recommendations or advice on my complains? Always appreciate all the help that I am getting from everyone here. Have a great weekend, everyone! Going to our 1st Bridal Expo ever this Sunday! JJ |

2. Press Ctrl+M (Or go to File > Export > Media) 3. In the Export Settings dialog, change Format to Windows Bitmap 4. Uncheck Export As Sequence 5. Click on OK 6. In the Export Frame dialog, give the file a name and click on Save Once you have done this you only have to do steps 1, 2, 5 and 6 for each still. Yes, it is still cumbersome but AME will not launch or be involved so you dont have to manually start the Queue and wait for the Project to load, etc, etc. Once you have unchecked Export As Sequence it wont comeback unless you export lets say MPEG2-DVD. |
So Roger, are you liking CS4 better than CS3?
I am considering upgrading. |
