Re: Hardware: HDMI to ethernet cable and back again - 6 years ago
I get to reply to myself: HDMI over IP is a reality, and affordable. I took the plunge, purchased a transmitter and receiver system - these range from US $40-100. Picked up a GoFanco pair at US$53.00 on Amazon, well built, with flanges which allow easy tape-up to the back of the computer and display. The transmitter also loops the HDMI signal to a “local” display as well as a distantby Loren Miller - Café LA
Hardware: HDMI to ethernet cable and back again - 6 years ago
There are recent and affordable devices- most sell as a transmit-receive pair- which take HDMI A/V signal out of your Mac or say, your Intensity Pro PCI card, allow you to run it through these adapters to inexpensive Cat 6 cable which goes around the room to your big screen TV where the cable plugs into back into an HDMI receiver adapter and from that into your display. IPTV is supposed to beby Loren Miller - Café LA
Re: LG monitors for color - 6 years ago
Sorry, I'll be more specific. The model I'm looking at is 27" LG, model number 27UK650-W. Retail at B&H, New York is $542.00. Very intriguing, generally good reviews but nothing from video editors. The LG displayed at MicroCenter as an extended desktop to the iMacPro, also a 27" screen, costs 1200.00. Best, as always. Loren S. Millerby Loren Miller - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
LG monitors for color - 6 years ago
Hi, Folks- This semi-related hardware topic could go in any of the NLE forums, but since I'm using PProCC this seemed right. I know Apple is teaming up with LG on monitors in future offerings. At MicroCenter I spotted the new iMacPro linked to an LG-branded monitor. For computer use, these are not cheap. They are marketed toward heavy duty gamers, X-box, etc. Has anyone used this 27&by Loren Miller - Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Re: FCP X training - 6 years ago
Katrin1980- I learned a LOT from Tom Wolsky's book on FCPX for iMovie users (which I tech edited under protest, as he notes in the foreword. God bless him, I'll try to behave better next time.) For all the good stuff going into FCPX, I still haven't been lured into it, I went back to Avid and forward to Premiere Pro CC.

Re: Best replacement for FCP - 6 years ago
Scott- What Dennis said-- definitely keep El Cap on the laptop, that's where my FCP suite was just installed for a video transfer I'm trying to solve. Seems to work smoothly. You can expect to import cut sequences and captured but offline clips, which you'll need to Reconnect. I would not expect much in the way of effects translation other than fades/dissolves. I would test it. You mightby Loren Miller - Café LA
Re: Transferring from Sony analog to FCP7 - 6 years ago
Hello, Nick- And thanks for logging in. That's a great suggestion, but I don't have a tape budget-- want to xfer directly from analog through the -45 to DV via Firewire. In the -45 the signal showed up ONCE on the internal deck monitor during fiddling and I haven't been able to replicate it-- or the tape lost its control track at some point. I was wondering if anyone's wrestled withby Loren Miller - Café LA
Transferring from Sony analog to FCP7 - 6 years ago
Here's a deck tech puzzler- We have several hundred classroom tapes generated by my dad's clinic for autistic children, and they show some of his earliest work helping these kids become functioning human beings. This was his life work, a system now called The Miller Method(R), an alternative to behavioral approaches. The tapes are recorded from a 1975 Sony Portapak system now long gone.

Re: Action Editing Part 2 - 6 years ago
LOL Mike. Axe writes- [ The violence in these films as shown blatantly in the chosen scenes is detrimental to society, and if you don't believe that then you must be another progressive liberal Democrat who looks the other way on such content and simply blames the 2nd Amendment and NRA for our violent culture while stupidly ignoring the obvious media factors of influence often motivating reby Loren Miller - Café LA
Re: Best replacement for FCP - 6 years ago
Scott- Sorry for the delay. Occurred to me I never tested this, so I did. The procedure is this: 1) Open each FCP project you will want to work on in Premiere Pro. 2)File>Export menu> XML, use Version 5, the most recent. 3) Quit FCP 4) Open Premiere Pro with a New Project. 5) File>Import... should show you the XML file in the folder you exported to. 6) Select theby Loren Miller - Café LA

Followup- Sorry of the delay-- LUTCalc files can be installed in PPro's Lumetri color folder. You can choose yours or any other available form a dropdown list. Worked like a charm-- although this IS a post operation. Best, as always. Loren S. Millerby Loren Miller - Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Re: Best Transcription software- New Player - 7 years ago
We have a new player from an old friend, Digital Heaven -- Martin Baker's SpeedScriber-- recently out of beta. VERY promising. You still need to edit, but a speedy text editor is provided, it's FAST. Supports multiple speakers. Upload, process in the cloud, edit where needed done. Good-O, Martin! Best, as always. Loren S. Millerby Loren Miller - Café LA
Transcode FS7 sLog MXF footage to ProRes422 Rec 709-- simple or difficult? - 7 years ago
Hi, Folks- Well, I've encountered my first sLog flat mxf footage. The goal is to transcode it to ProRes 422 in HD's REC 709 colorspace, you know, so I can edit. That's right folks, we're back to one-light workprints. Want to do it one operation and one app: Premiere Pro (with Media Encoder crunching in the background). One idea was to built a Post LUT .cube file and find a way to iby Loren Miller - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Fire proof case for hard drives - 7 years ago
Good question! Boy, I could have used that two years ago. It wasn't so much fire, it was the fire hose water that drowned everything. Drive restoration was very expensive, over a grand per 2 TB disk. Best, as always. Lorenby Loren Miller - Café LA
Re: Export still frame - 7 years ago
To export a still I invoke Export with Quicktime Conversion, which includes several choices in the bottom popup menu. I choose Still Image, then drill down to choose which type: PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etc. I've never had to go through a sequence export, but I do recall when exporting 480i in TIFF I had to bring the export into Photoshop to correct for pixel aspect ratio, usually changing the heightby Loren Miller - Café LA
Re: Best replacement for FCP - 7 years ago
What Nick says. I can add that, after an entire 4 months using Premiere Pro CC in the real world, it's extraordinarily flexible, and yes, it does feature dynamic trim, multicam editing, and nonstandard video exports. My museum assignment required not only standard HD but also video wall sectional exports and very large vertical screens at high bandwidth using the new HEVC (H.265)- which is parby Loren Miller - Café LA

Re: Editing Console or Station Review for Physical Health - 7 years ago
What? Can't hear--- Just kidding. This model looks a bit like my Carder chairs from Staples-- the only ones with three controls! Sit-stand is the new mantra for editors. Walter Murch led the way. IKEA makes a few models that are electric, and one that is hand-crank, very affordable. I love IKEA very much, right down to the last meatball with lingonberry sauce.

Re: Linking Media magic - 7 years ago
And speaking of linking, I find PPro's Project Manager's consolidate behavior quite good!! All of the short form sequences I trimmed were open timelines and no nests. If you want nests to trim, you have to select each as a separate sequence listed in the Manager dialog, and then all is well. Does a swell job of trimming media to specific handles with very few squawks-- this on a ton of licensby Loren Miller - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Post Production and Low Rates - 7 years ago
If you're lucky to get hired by a couple of clients who understand the editor's value, that becomes your standard rate for new clients, and you should be able to build on it as time goes by and you have a larger reel, or more stuff on your YouTube Channel. Be courteous in your request, show interest in the assignment, even throw original ideas into the discussion, (sort of "make a dby Loren Miller - Café LA
Linking Media magic - 7 years ago
OSX 11.6 Premiere Pro CC 2017 Found a bizarre if clever way to use the Link Media chooser to actually link up media without even dismissing the dialog or risking a crash, which I suspect many encounter because right now, Premiere Pro is a little autistic about finding and accepting media moved from place to place -- editors often reorganize footage to better serve the project.

A Rant List for PProCC - 7 years ago
ADOBE PREMIERE CC 2017 NOTES ==== This collection came about over half a year in Premiere Pro CC 2017 while actually using the program on real world pro projects with deadlines. I never discount the possibility of my own ignorance. Delighted to be more informed on capabilities I cannot access. Would love to get feedback from other users and of course, Adobe reps, on anything in this list.by Loren Miller - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Nesting to custom size- whoops - 7 years ago
I must be a Pro Guru! I figured it out! I'm nesting in the wrong place. When you need to move sequence clips to a custom screen dimension... 1) copy the sequence clips OUT of the original timeline- do NOT nest there. 2) Paste the clips into the custom timeline. 3) Create nest there. 4) Size to suit new screen dimensions using Effect Controls. Works fine. Life is good again.by Loren Miller - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Nesting to custom size- whoops - 7 years ago
For the PPro gurus... So now I have my five-minute sequence for two custom screens, Screen A and Screen B. This is the client preview format, 1920 X 1080, masked as a pair to reflect their custom screens. Now they want to test their Christi projectors on an actual frame size. 1) I nest one half of the pair. 2) I place it in a new sequence of 1920 X 1200. 3) It's cropped within theby Loren Miller - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Mixing frame rates – Offline and Online Edits - 7 years ago
Jon's advice reflects my experience exactly. II've been working on archival footage form many many sources and formats like MPG and WMV, at various frame rates. The highest rez editions all go to ProRes422HD progressive, square, 29.97, and exports sail through. If I had CPU issues, I could generate ProRes LT's, but these are short piece son five minutes or less. My only concern is that I haby Loren Miller - Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Re: Latest tool for ripping DVD to desired codecs? - 8 years ago
Nick - Your recommendation nailed it. iMedia Converter is the new Cinematize II. I gave it a free trial test to confirm it converted to ProRes. It has all the mezzanine codecs and then some. Swiss Army Knife. Some genius in the middle of China. Gratefully, Lorenby Loren Miller - Café LA
