When the pinch action is used in Icon view, the thumbnails will become larger or smaller.
I generally prefer List view, except when I’m having a hard time finding specific shots among a lot of footage. Moving down to the project window, you’ll find multitouch is most useful in Icon view. The two-finger scrub works when the pointer is over either the image area or the play head area. If the pointer is over the scrub bar, it will zoom in or out for moving the playhead in greater or less detail. The zoom feature works any time the pointer is over the image area. Using touch features in the Premiere Pro Source Monitor. The latter allows you to scrub at any speed with having to click directly on the playhead ( Figure 1, below).įigure 1. The former requires clicking on the zoom box and selecting a specific zoom level. These are faster than the typical ways of performing these actions. A two-finger swiping gesture will scrub through the footage forwards and backwards. A two-finger pinch gesture can zoom in and out of the loaded footage. Let’s start with the Source Monitor that is usually at the upper-left corner of the Premiere Pro interface. Basic Touch Functions in the Premiere Pro UI Let’s look at some of the ways you can be a more efficient editor with multitouch. Again, I’ve had to adapt to this new method.įortunately, Premiere Pro has already harnessed the power of multitouch gestures so that my work is still very efficient despite the limitations of my equipment. My day-to-day editing is done on my 15" MacBook Pro with the built-in trackpad and keyboard as my only input. I’m currently in the midst of a major home remodel, so I’m without a desk. Through this hybrid input technique, I came to appreciate the multitouch gestures that Apple included in their OS and later how they were incorporated into the Adobe applications that I used on a daily basis. I primarily used the trackpad to whip the cursor quickly around the screen while using the mouse buttons and scroll wheel for more delicate work. At the time, I was confined to a small desk and didn’t have the real estate to move my mouse very far. Years ago, I developed my own unique editing input style by simultaneously using a trackpad and mouse along with occasional keyboard use. Others swear by a good mouse others can seemingly use Jedi mind tricks by editing almost exclusively by keyboard shortcut. Some prefer a trackball mouse some prefer large trackpads. They usually have very particular tastes when it comes to input and interaction methods. Pinch to zoom, multi-finger scrolling and multi-finger rotation have been featured in Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and After Effects already, but with the increasing popularity of tablet computers, Adobe has added more advanced features that are exclusive to touch input devices. Most of the Adobe Creative Cloud applications have offered some sort of multitouch input for several versions, but a few weeks ago Adobe took these capabilities to the next level.
