PPro bases edit decisions on how source tracks are enabled and patched. It ignores record side track status.
It also automatically adds tracks from the source that don't exist on the record and I've seen no way of over-riding that.
There's also no auto patching (how could there be as it ignores record tracks).
There is, however, source side timeline (map same key for 'open timeline in source' and 'show source timeline' - works as they are different panels - you can then double press for selected sequence and voila it's like Avid. Has added benefit of allowing 'pancaked' timelines - so you can drag from one to the other)
PPRO is very keyboard friendly and only missing a few of the avid niceties (auto patch, head/tail fade spring to mind). It also needs a lot more professionals using it to refine some of the procedures (AAF interchange with ProTools still needs some love) but it's a dream compared to transcoding everything or using AMA. And live linking to AE knocks any of the Avid title tools into touch.
From 90% tape work 20 years ago, I've been through 90% avid work twice (pre FCP7 and pre CC2015). I don't think I'm going to see it again.
