You can try a filter on the lens for the sky, but it looks like there weren't any clouds while you were shooting so that would just dim the highlights some.Im trying out here,
I been going around Qatar trying to capture some of these nice as buildings. But alot of the time its always cloudy or really dusty so the sky always comes out to bright and with no color. How to I add some color to the sky?

Does anyone here regularly use Adobe Premiere?
At the new job I'm starting on the 10th they only use premiere. I was wondering if anyone can share any likes/dislikes they have using it.
I've dedicated the last year or so to using Final Cut Pro X and love it but I'm going to need to learn Premiere.

You a fast learner or do you need a learning curve??
I pick stuff up pretty quick.
I'm not necessarily asking for someone on here to get me to pro. I'm gonna spend a ton of time on YouTube getting to know the ins and outs of the program.
I'm just interested in some feedback regarding people's experience on here. If they like it or hate it and why.
My guess is if it doesnt usually come up as a preferred program, that pretty much tells you the game right there.
I have an old version of it but I only tried it a few times. It's probably going to annoy you because from my experience with it just made me miss what I was used to. I'd probably be fine with it now since I've moved over to Resolve which has a similar timeline layout.
Does FPX have bins when you import footage? One thing that annoyed me when I did try Premiere out was how it forces you to open a bit, then put your clips into it before they go on your timeline. It might be different now, but lil stuff like that irked me because I was so used to just dropping footage in my timeline in Vegas.
Biggest tip would be to get some of the shortcuts down, cause the timeline is probably unnecessarily complicated compared to FCX
Flickr need they ass whooped. 
shyt been down all day cuz they "switchin servers".

Final Cut Pro has bins but you can definitely add clips to the timeline by dragging them from anywhere on the computer and dropping them in FCP.I have an old version of it but I only tried it a few times.

The main things Final Cut has going is how incredibly user friendly the interface is and the fantastic optimization Apple did with it.
I edit EVERYTHING in full 4K resolution at all times in Final Cut and it never slows down. Every transition, effect, color grade, etc is drag and drop based. You pull up what you want in the right panel, drag it and drop it onto the clip and boom. Final Cut also works on very dated apple machines as well.
When it comes to Premiere what I'm hearing is you pretty much have to accept that you'll be editing using proxies because trying to edit in 4K is going to bring even high end machines to a crawl.
Ah yeah, you def probably going to either use proxy files (ugh) or render out the portions of the videos that you're working on/editing at the time.
I have to do that with Resolve for 4K videos, it's not too bad, but I do remember using proxies when I chopped up a few videos in Premiere. I'd rather not have to do that added step honestly, and that's why I just stopped using Premiere all together. I also had an instance where I had like a 30 minute interview/documentary vid that I was working on with multiple cuts throughout it where I had to match audio and match colors from 2 different cameras and out of no where I got hit with a "Pending Media" error and essentially had to start all over. Again, I have an old cracked version, so it's probably more stable with the legit shyt, but even when I googled the issue it seemed fairly common. That was the last project I worked on in Premiere.
If my brother didn't need Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects for design work, we def wouldn't be paying for Adobe CC. Matter fact, he's the only one with access to it cause we only paid for 1 seat.
You can prolly roundtrip from FCX into Premiere tho. That might be a good alternative. Just sequence your edits in FCX and then export the project over to Premiere if others need to work on it.
That's if they don't mind you doing that at the gig.

Well that's the main reason I came this thread..videography. I'm not even a novice level but I'm just observing and listening
That's a good idea.
I'm definitely gonna ask and see how they feel about it. I have a new mac book pro that handles final cut almost as well as my maxed out imac.
