You basically play and edit h.264.

> This by the way explains why it is treacherous >editing H.264 footage directly, in any NLE. You should try cutting in Premiere for native editing. There are a lot of under the hood processes that facilitates native editing. Yes. As Derek said, if you are cutting in FCP7, use log and transfer. It let's you batch recapture the footage later on as a fallback.by strypes - Café LA
Re: OT: advice on upgrades/workflow for 2014 - 11 years ago
You can also get the single app license of Premiere for cheaper. So you can have one edit machine and one edit/finishing machine.by strypes - Café LA
Re: Best codec for H.264 camera footage - 11 years ago
>can I live with H.264 without tearing my hair out? No. It gets crashy and playback will be much than optimal. FCP7 wasn't designed for native editing of h.264. If you want to go native, use premiere.by strypes - Café LA

Re: Multicam: playback issues - 11 years ago
Multicam with 2 angles doubles the bandwidth. Also FCP7 uses a 32 bit process to decode QT.by strypes - Café LA

Wanna know what that does to actual retiming? Nothing.

Re: 10 Almost New Shortcuts in Premiere Pro (And a Couple of Others) - 11 years ago
There is a zoom to timeline shortcut. Good thing about that is that when you hit it the first time, it zooms to timeline, but when you hit it the second time, it goes back to the zoom level you were at. Not too sure about number 2. For speed changes, I usually use the rate stretch tool. But for variable speed changes, you can do the beziers from the timeline by turning on keyframes, clickinby strypes - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Subclips and sequence errors in FCP7 - 11 years ago
I'd like to ask how you are making a subclip. I've done it quite a lot of times, but usually we'll sync in the timeline, make independent clips and then drag them to the bin to make master clips.by strypes - Café LA
Re: 10 Almost New Shortcuts in Premiere Pro (And a Couple of Others) - 11 years ago
Yup. I know. I was looking for it for a while as well and didn't realize until someone told me about it. I'm also pretty sure that one came from Premiere's legacy days from before the "Pro" era. I think we used it waaay back in film school. The LUTs are useful if you're generating proxies and you are shooting in log space. Also there is a toggle for GPU rendering in AME.

Re: FCP 7 - 24p to dvd / blu ray? - 11 years ago
For Compressor, as Dennis pointed out, make sure the audio is set to "On" and it's best that you transcode to something like Prores before encoding to Mpeg2/ac3. This will let you test out the media before burning to disc. In a non related question, do you really need PAL DVD? Many Hollywood movies are actually distributed to Asia, which is all PAL except for Japan and South Korea, aby strypes - Café LA

I'll avoid that if I were you. I'll get a splitter if I want to have a mirrored second display. That's fairly inexpensive. And there are splitters for HDMI, VGA and DVI.

Re: Capturing Apple Pro Res 422 Proxy - 11 years ago
I won't suggest doing offline/online with HDV unless you have a deck with SDI and RS422. Offline/online with a Firewire deck control is unnecessarily problematic.by strypes - Café LA
Re: Naming of Clips - 11 years ago
I haven't read the entire thread, but: <program name>_<epnumber>_<scene number>_<shot number>_<cam angle>_<take number> You can include the date of shoot as well if you want further identification at the finder level.by strypes - Café LA
Re: OT ?: Adding a client monitor - 11 years ago
What Shane said. If you are on a budget, you can use your second computer monitor to display the video output and toggle back as a computer monitor if you need it to show bins. This is in "Audio/Video Settings", and set that to Digital Cinema Desktop Preview. There are a few options, one of which will set the 2nd monitor as a video preview output. The only issue is that you can't getby strypes - Café LA

Re: Creative Cloud Open Letter - 11 years ago
1. You must be connected to the internet to use it. Nope. If you have a year's subscription, you only need to be connected to initialize and once every 6 months after that to validate your subscription. You can also take that time to download updates. Isn't that in the nature of our job? We upload and download videos all the time, we get emails from clients? It's really hard to get away frby strypes - Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Re: Direct Link to SpeedGrade - 11 years ago
Direct Link is new in the October update, so you have to install the latest version of SpeedGrade and Premiere Pro, and also the latest version of After Effects if you are using dynamic linked comps. The update comes at no additional charge for CC subscribers. Direct Link works by sending a sequence from Premiere Pro to SpeedGrade. So you edit in Premiere and then send it over to SpeedGrade foby strypes - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
