I am slowly coming to realize its full potential and will report back in the future as I learn more. If you are like me, chances are you have not fully realized the usefulness of Adobe Bridge as a media management tool.

Why rename your DSLR files? DSLR file names are sequential and unique to a particular card, but not across multiple cards. Renaming DSLR raw files, however, is relatively easy with the help of Adobe Bridge. I hope that Adobe adds this capability to a future version of the application. This is a real drag and one of my only significant beefs with the application. Unfortunately, Premiere Pro as of yet has no way of adding sequential timecode to a series of clips. This can be a real pain if you have to make a timecoded screener for a producer or client. That is to say, each clip starts at 00:00:00:00. The first is important because DSLR footage is not stamped with sequential timecode across multiple clips.

Indeed, for any editor who has spent long hours Logging & Transferring footage into Final Cut Pro, it's almost miraculous. Premiere Pro's ability to work with native formats is a real time saver.
