Stig, of course it's a matter of taste. But being an editor who has tried them all, I challenge you: Try Premiere Pro CS6 Trim mode (and assign and use all the shortcuts), and after that tell me what you miss form Avid's trim mode.

Hi Jarle,
Im sure its a matter of taste. For some reason people that is used to FCP and Premiere compare the different trimming tools and use that as an argument. -"Trim mode is even better than Avid's"

Like I said, I reserve the right to be wrong. I use Gridiron Flow to save versions in Photoshop and AE so I can have something like the FCP autosave vault. It's saved my butt a few times. I assumed Premiere worked the same. | | | | |

Is the problem unique to P2/XDCam? What is the issue in Avid that hampers the workflow? Would it impact the workflow to other colour grading systems such as Scratch or Baselight (which would both follow similar round-tripping). | | | | |
