Unfortunately, it's not possible to adjust two faders independently at the same time. Cross-fades require two passes. One of the first enhancements editors will notice is improved logging and capturing capabilities. Although the old log and capture window was straightforward, it lacked the functionality required by professional editors who wrangle large, complex projects. Premiere 6.0 allows for logging on the fly and access to capture and clip settings in one window.
Premiere still logs to a separate batch capture window rather than directly to a user-selected bin.
This is a drag. Having clips in my editing bins that are logged, yet remain offline, constantly reminds me what else is available on the shelf. Once you've captured your source material, media management in general is not as elegant in Premiere 6.0 as in other NLEs. In a perfect world, I would take a project file containing all of the bin and sequence information from one machine, bring it into another machine, batch capture all the necessary clips with one command, and get to work. Premiere's insistence on using batch capture lists separately from the bins makes moving projects a bit challenging.
