Re: Adobe updates all video apps - coming in October - 11 years ago
And the round trip includes layers and transitions and works with any format Premiere can work with. No more having to deconstruct your project to go to grading. Just send your timeline directly from inside PP, grade in SG, then save it back out to PP. It's quite a mind blowing addition. I also like the addition of AE transitions in PP. Not sure if I got this info correctly, but it seems likeby Jude Cotter - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: OS Updates, safe?? - 11 years ago
Nah, within a few years the whole shebang will be dead and gone. I don't think anyone has the time to make a wiki for it anymore. If anyone has direct experience with what works or not though, we could make a sticky?by Jude Cotter - Café LA
Re: Edit RED raw files or convert to Pro Ress? What do you guys prefer? - 11 years ago
That's what I said, Strypes - either transcode and work in FCP7, or work with native files in Premiere CC, but yes, check performance.by Jude Cotter - Café LA
Re: Edit RED raw files or convert to Pro Ress? What do you guys prefer? - 11 years ago
Oh, does it have to go back to the raw files for grading? That can add complication to the transcoding process. make sure you get the right timecode on the proxies.by Jude Cotter - Café LA
Re: Media Manager Question - 11 years ago
Or you could select your sequence in the browser, which will get everything on the timeline. Selecting stuff in the timeline can be hit and miss. Again, you'd have to repeat the entire process to do it correctly.by Jude Cotter - Café LA
Re: Edit RED raw files or convert to Pro Ress? What do you guys prefer? - 11 years ago
It's really up to you. Either solution will work. It would be a good idea to get the footage onto your main hard drive if you have the space for the duration of the edit, but I have run R3D off a USB drive on 16GB of RAM in Premiere and it worked OK.by Jude Cotter - Café LA
Re: Advice on software to use for turning speech on video into a transcription - 11 years ago
Or you could upload it to Youtube in a restricted area and go with the pretty instant translation they provide. It's not deadly accurate, but it hits most of the time, and you can manually adjust anything that's not right. Of course, downloading it is another thing. Not impossible though.by Jude Cotter - Café LA
Re: Premiere Pro/iMac Upgrade Questions - 11 years ago
A lot of my workplaces that have gone to PP are using lots of iMacs and in general they're fine. Go for more RAM where possible though - the new machines don't let you do any more of your own tinkering. I personally often cut with XDCam, H.264 source and the occasional AVCHD as well as M2T and sometimes R3D. All good on PP, and no transcoding beforehand required. You can even mix them in the sby Jude Cotter - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Adobe Premiere: How to drop a marker on a source clip while playing it in the timeline? - 11 years ago
What is it, Strypes? I couldn't find it in the keyboard shortcuts. Oh, wait, I found it. I changed it to 'c' in my keyboard shortcuts and it does work in the timeline on a clip while playing. One caveat - you need to expand the track to see the markers on clips in the timeline in CC. You can do this by double clicking the grey area to the right of the small eye on each track.by Jude Cotter - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Adobe Premiere: How to drop a marker on a source clip while playing it in the timeline? - 11 years ago
Which version of Premiere are you using? There have been a number of changes with markers in the past few versions, although generally when you're playing a timeline, keystrokes you make will apply to the timeline itself, not clips on the timeline. Could you match frame to add the marker on the clip as you go?by Jude Cotter - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Creative Cloud Open Letter - 11 years ago
It's obviously putting some people out of joint quite a bit, which is sad. The software is excellent. And Joe - would you pay $600 to upgrade? If so, just put $600 in your account and let Adobe take their share out of that once a month.by Jude Cotter - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Best $200-400 monitor for editing with FCP - - 11 years ago
The reason you get a 'broadcast monitor' is pretty much completely about meeting a standard. The standard exists firstly so they we are all coming from the same place and hopefully ending up at the same place and secondly because of some of the (mostly outdated now) limitations of broadcast. Your end user is going to be watching your product on a screen that is completely variable. You have noby Jude Cotter - Café LA
Re: Adding Brightness and Contrast Filter makes slide blurry in Premiere CS4 - 11 years ago
Is this your rig Mark? Most of us here have only really been on Premiere since CS6sih, and we're now technically up to 7 (Although it's called CC) An upgrade would probably help a lot with these issues. Uhm, that sounds like I'm being snotty, but I'm not. CS4 is just so old and different to what most of us know well now, and the improvements in the last few versions are seriously vast and worthwhby Jude Cotter - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Panasonic GH3 .mov files: can these be ingested FCP7 without transcoding? - 11 years ago
Yes, there's an option to turn on the FCP keys in Premiere. I've moved to Premiere now, so I have to admit bias, because I tried FCPX and hated it. This doesn't mean you won't like it though. Learning Premiere for a well versed FCP editor is pretty simple. I've had guys in their mid fifties (traditionally not happy to learn new software) who are not super pro editors up and running cutting aby Jude Cotter - Café LA
Re: R3D in Premiere CC - 11 years ago
Oh, no I didn't think of that. You're right though, I usually run at full res, which would be a struggle for this system on native 4k. I'll give it a shot. But still, I was .. 4k! Native RED! Imac! USB Drive! How is this possible? And yup - at half res my 25 minute timeline plays fine without render, but I have moved the clips to the main hard drive now, so not sure how it would be running offby Jude Cotter - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Panasonic GH3 .mov files: can these be ingested FCP7 without transcoding? - 11 years ago
Try the free trial download of Premiere CC. Just change the keyboard settings to the FCP7 set and you'll hardly notice you're in another program. Plus, no transcoding, or rendering to view your cut.by Jude Cotter - Café LA
R3D in Premiere CC - 11 years ago
So one of my colleagues has been working with some R3D cine stuff at one of my jobs in FCP7 and it had to go out for grading, and there was a whole thing with consolidating the transcoded ProRes sequence and setting up relinking options for all the raw stuff which was a bit of a pain, so I decided to bring some of the files home to try them on my Premiere rig. To my amazement, I could importby Jude Cotter - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Exporting for Broadcast - 11 years ago
I can't take any credit Troy, cause Strypes actually listed that article in the thread before. I just saw that you hadn't seen it. But I'm glad you're getting on top of it - we all know about being at sea with new stuff under deadline pressure! I would look into MXF though for the future. I do deliverables here in Australia and all the stations are now pretty much asking for MXF OP-1a - with vby Jude Cotter - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Premiere Pro CS6 announced - 11 years ago
MXF definitely imports and exports fine in Premiere CS6 and above. I've been making and testing broadcast mxfs recently and editing a lot of XDCam and it's a completely easy path, no spamware required. Don't be suckered into buying transcoders for Premiere. There's very little it can't deal with natively.by Jude Cotter - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Exporting for Broadcast - 11 years ago
What does the broadcaster actually want Troy? All my deliverable recently have been MXF Op1a, specifically requested by the station. If the other system isn't working for you, try the blog post on how to set up an end to end Pro Res setup that was linked before and is here I used this in CS6 and it worked fine.by Jude Cotter - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Problem installing FCP7 on Mountain Lion - 11 years ago
Thanks for getting back to us Scott. There are a lot of people complaining about this - so it's possibly not just your error, but for sure a lot of them might be the same thing.by Jude Cotter - Café LA
Re: Problem installing FCP7 on Mountain Lion - 11 years ago
Yup, then it is nothing but conflicting. The people I've spoken to had problems installing on fresh systems. Only the upgrade path worked. When you bought studio whether it was your first purchase or an upgrade AFAIK it was the exact same product, except it required your previous passwords if it was an upgrade, and was cheaper. I really wish Apple was willing to talk to its users on these issby Jude Cotter - Café LA
Re: Problem installing FCP7 on Mountain Lion - 11 years ago
So you're saying you can run the FCP installer program on a new computer running Mountain Lion? Or that you have to partition your hard drive, install an older OS, then install on there? Maybe there's a third party app you could use, Scott? We used to use Pacifier to install just parts of the studio disk years ago. No idea if it's Power PC or not.by Jude Cotter - Café LA
Re: Problem installing FCP7 on Mountain Lion - 11 years ago
His problem isn't that it won't run on Mountain Lion. His problem is that the *installer* for Studio 3 won't work on Mountain Lion. If you have a computer with FCP studio installed, and then upgrade to Mountain Lion, everything is fine. If you buy a new computer that runs Mountain Lion, you can't use the FCP Studio Installer to install your copy of FCP Studio because the *installer program* iby Jude Cotter - Café LA
Re: First casualty of CC = Adobe Encore is dead... - 11 years ago
The new imacs don't have built in DVD players anymore either. Which was a surprise a client I recommended it to didn't expect.by Jude Cotter - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: How to put a widescreen with expanded image? - 11 years ago
Not really enough detail there alioshka. What format is your footage? what are your sequence settings? What do you mean by expanded or twisted? You mean you had to scale them up and distort them? How did you achieve this?by Jude Cotter - Café LA
Re: Problem installing FCP7 on Mountain Lion - 11 years ago
Oh, sorry if that wasn't clear. The tutorial I linked is the whole XML thing, but I do see that someone skim reading that could go off telling other people that you can open FCP 7 files natively in PP.by Jude Cotter - Café LA
Re: Problem installing FCP7 on Mountain Lion - 11 years ago
>>is there a decent migration path from FCP 7 to PP? Can I expect my media files to import without issue into PP? More important, but less likely: is there any way to bring an FCP 7 project into PP? << Yes, your FCP 7 projects will open in PP. Some of the more complicated effects will not translate, but the cut generally will. Also, when you get to PP, make sure to set the keyboardby Jude Cotter - Café LA
Re: Agree or Disagree: Cutting w/ Media Composer will provide more jobs and higher pay? - 11 years ago
Is lightworks similar to all the other NLEs? It's never fun to come out of your training institution ready to use equipment that no employer owns and having no basic idea of how to operate what they do own. Which is not to say that I don't think people should learn and love any piece of software, just that prep for work should be prep for work, especially now when unestablished editors are exby Jude Cotter - Café LA
Re: Agree or Disagree: Cutting w/ Media Composer will provide more jobs and higher pay? - 11 years ago
Is it that much more expensive? I think it actually works out cheaper for me. The 'Australia Tax' doesn't apply, thankfully.by Jude Cotter - Café LA
