Re: Media Composer Titles--Green Newb Question - 11 years ago
What new iPad app?by Jon Chappell - Avid Media Composer
Re: Deleted - 11 years ago
I used to get a lot of FCP crashes until I realized that FCP is very stable as long as it can keep up with what you're doing. This is why high-complexity codecs are not recommended. But if it's working now that's great to hear.by Jon Chappell - Café LA
Re: Deleted - 11 years ago
It can be done but it shouldn't. You will experience better stability by transcoding to ProRes, but if that is not an option you should set your sequence codec to ProRes and edit the HDV in that sequence.by Jon Chappell - Café LA
Re: Deleted - 11 years ago
Strange... it should have flagged it up as being HDV. I'll look into that. But the advice it would have given is the same as I gave earlier.by Jon Chappell - Café LA
Re: Deleted - 11 years ago
Do you mean transcoding HDV to ProRes? That will take longer. But rendering a ProRes sequence containing ProRes media should be faster, and you shouldn't need to do it as often with ProRes as with HDV because it's less processor intensive.by Jon Chappell - Café LA
Re: Deleted - 11 years ago
HDV should take longer than ProRes to render because it is not an I-frame codec and when you export your timeline it will need to conform the GOP boundaries. The only reason ProRes would be slower on your system that I can think of would be because you have slow disks. Premiere is great. It's not quite FCP 8 but it's close. I'm finding myself naturally gravitating towards it because it gives mby Jon Chappell - Café LA
Re: Deleted - 11 years ago
HDV isn't recommended for native editing in FCP. Ideally you should transcode it to ProRes but if that is not possible, at the very least set your sequence codec to ProRes.by Jon Chappell - Café LA

Don't delete posts you've solved - it can be useful to others with the same problem.by Jon Chappell - Café LA
Re: Premiere CS6 to Encore DVD Best Workflows - 11 years ago
I used Dolby instead of AAC but yes, Encore recognized them just fine. I can also play them in QuickTime Player, which I cannot do if I create them in AME.by Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Macbook Pro or Custom MacPro??? - 11 years ago
The Retina MacBook Pro is fast but it doesn't have many ports and memory is not upgradeable so you have to pay up-front for however much RAM you anticipate ever needing. A new non-Retina MacBook or an iMac would be a better bet.by Jon Chappell - Café LA - X
Re: Premiere CS6 to Encore DVD Best Workflows - 11 years ago
I've had mixed results with AME. It makes amazing Blu-rays but I've found that Compressor works better with lower bitrates most of the time (although I've had one or two instances where AME worked better). The movie I've been working on has an animated logo at the beginning and several smoke / fog effects and I get various degrees of posterization on these with AME but Compressor works fine.by Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Macbook Pro or Custom MacPro??? - 11 years ago
I'm not sure I can recommend a Mac Pro right now. It's a bit of a rip-off because the hardware is so outdated. Some people have moved to iMacs but there is supposed to be a new Mac Pro model next year, according to Tim Cook.by Jon Chappell - Café LA - X
Re: RAID for iMac - 11 years ago
I'd much rather have control over when the drives spin down than have it be an automatic setting.by Jon Chappell - Café LA - X

Re: 2 great articles about future of NLE - 11 years ago
The big downside for me is that XMP is stored in a per-media file basis. There is no per-project metadata store.by Jon Chappell - Café LA - X
Re: 2 great articles about future of NLE - 11 years ago
It's weird that Avid has used the Nexidia voice technology in almost every possible way except transcription. It's a strange omission. I've been delving into Adobe tech recently and chatting with some Adobe employees and I've come to realize that the Adobe suite actually has many great metadata and extensibility features. The problem is that Adobe hasn't done a great job of marketing them so Iby Jon Chappell - Café LA - X

Re: Conform 60fps tp 24 fps for FCP7 - 11 years ago
We have a conform function in QT Edit. It's less fussy than Cinema Tools so it can work in situations where Cinema Tools can't.by Jon Chappell - Café LA
Re: 2 great articles about future of NLE - 11 years ago
Another problem is that it's often two steps forward, one step back when Apple releases a major update. For example, in 10.0.6 you can no longer search in the Import window, setting In and Out points in the Import window is complicated (see ) and I have seen lots of reports of problems with sharing, most notably when burning to a DVD.by Jon Chappell - Café LA - X

Re: How do I convert from DV over Firewire to ProRes422 720x486 during tape capture? - 11 years ago
Go to Final Cut Pro > Audio / Video Settings. Click on the Capture Presets and duplicate one of the presets (doesn't matter which one). Under Digitizer, select your deck or camera (it must be connected and powered on). Then set Compressor to ProRes and make sure the frame size, frame rate and audio settings are correct. Then go to Log and Transfer, click on the Capture Settings tab and selby Jon Chappell - Café LA

Re: Blu-ray - 11 years ago
I've been using Adobe Encore to create Blu-rays. It gives you more control over menus and suchlike (it's very similar to DVD Studio Pro) and one really nice feature I only discovered yesterday is that it's really easy to make Blu-rays and DVDs from the same project.by Jon Chappell - Café LA
Re: Photoshop video = AE Lite - 11 years ago
I seem to recall Adobe saying it was aimed at photographers whose cameras now shoot video but don't know Premiere / AE and just want a simple way of cutting them and adding effects.by Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Who's in the Adobe Cloud? - 11 years ago

Cut Notes now syncs with Adobe Premiere - 11 years ago
We just released a new version of Cut Notes for iPad that syncs with Adobe Premiere Pro CS 6.0.2 or higher for Mac. We're offering a free plugin you can install on your Mac to output timecode wirelessly from Premiere to the iPad as you play back or scrub your sequence.

Re: Replacing DVD's and Blue-rays with Apps - 11 years ago
I've done this type of thing a couple of times for specific purposes. All I did was create a web page and then wrap it into an app.by Jon Chappell - Café LA

Re: + and - Commands in PPro on Macbok Pro keyboard? - 11 years ago
On some MBP generations you can hold Fn and the number to invoke the numpad. I don't know if it works with the + and - keys though.by Jon Chappell - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
