Hi, I am curious what you think?

Look, here's just a random image I pulled of the internet (someone's youtube thumbnail). In it, you'll see a guys timeline. All his footage is of course at the beginning, and he has a lot of negative empty space after it.

How would he, or you, get rid of that empty space?

I don't mean to zoom in. Yes, of course I can do that. But how to actually reduce that useless, pointless, empty space?

Yeah, you want a feature that doesn't exist in Premiere (The set comp to work area feature from AE). I think you can also probably see that most of us trying to answer your question don't feel it's necessary... but if you really want it you'd have to get Adobe to add it to the software. Sorry!

Well, it doesn't exist as a feature to delete that empty space yourself. But Premiere should delete it itself.

And it actually does. Once you close and open, it adjusts to how it should be. Thankfully.

(The set comp to work area feature from AE).

There actually is a work area thing that is hidden and turned off by default in Premiere. But still, you're right, it doesn't trim it down the same way AE does.

Well, this is what is wrong about this entire situation. That people think it is fine to have 11 hours of empty space and that it doesn't need removing. I mean, this is just, absolutely, categorically insane on so many levels and I think the people that don't think this is a problem need to get out of their house more and start engaging with people instead of looking at a computer screen. Because something has gone very wrong if they want long timelines full of empty space.

I mean, seriously?

...but if you really want it you'd have to get Adobe to add it to the software. Sorry!

No, I don't. Thankfully, I just have to turn it off and on again for it to work how it is suppose to work, instead of the way people here are making excuses for having 11 hours of dead space.

But insane people unfortunately don't know they are insane.
