It isn't. That's right, it's just not. So Photoshop is. After Effects is. Perhaps the other 20 applications in the "Master Collection" are. Premiere Pro isn't.

So if you're using a calibrated display, then the chances are that you're in a worse position that those using something vaguely close to sRGB. That's because your display, like mine, is spot-on with colour managed applications, but those applications which don't colour manage don't have the benefit of your nice profile, so they're likely to be further away from reasonable than a dumb old uncalibrated box. Great.

Well it's not quite as bad as it may seem, once you know there's a problem. The good news is that After Effects is colour managed, although you do have to switch it on. To do that, set the project's colour space to something other than "none", weird but that's it. So that's why people muck about with a second tool, After Effects, for colour management; because you're working pretty much blind if you try it in Premiere Pro.

Maybe they'll fix that in the next version. Meanwhile, anyone know how to get After Effects to import my Premiere Pro project without missing bits out?

introduction

Cycling in London is one of those things that you get used to. If you don't do it, just standing at the side of the road watching the traffic is pretty terrifying. Actually it's pretty scary if you have a bike with you too, but you kind of get used to it. The trick, I think, is to take it easy when you start, so that you don't get killed before you've sussed it out.

Here are some thoughts on how to hack around the city without ending up under anyone's wheels. There are certainly lots of ways to do that other than mine, but I thought that a few hints may be useful to someone.

Your position in the road is key to successful cycling in London.

queue traversal

If you're on a dual-lane road full of stationary or slow moving traffic then you have broadly three choices of position:

• between the left line and the kerb
• between the left and right lanes
• in the center of the road on the off side of the right traffic lane

taxis

Taxis are driven by professionals and they've no interest in killing you - if nothing else you'd make a mess of their business for a few days as they scraped you off their fenders and generally dealt with the legal consequences of squashing you. They also tend to know where they're going, their vehicles are generally well maintained, and they don't use hand-held mobile 'phones whilst driving.
