media encoder and sequence editing
I know it’s possible to export a sequence from PPro to media encoder and continue to work in PPro while that is happening in the background. But is it also possible to make changes in the sequence you are exporting and not effect the encoding of that same sequence processing in media encoder in the condition it was first exported? Could always make a duplicate sequence I guess… but just curious.

Maybe you could, but the universe might also blow up. Duplicate the sequence, rename it then continue working on it while the first version renders.

ha.. wouldn’t want to mess with the space-time continuum! Dennis, what’s the fastest and most efficient sequence settings? mine timeline is doggin it a bit. I’ve got a beefy system too.. but actually no CUDA card in this.. Got a new machine on the way. But there’s so much diversity and speculation on how to get best performance and playback in timelines… especially with multiple composites and fx’s going.

Don’t you hate it when people who don’t know the correct answer, give you an answer like they do.
The correct answer is that you can. When you round trip to Adobe Media Encoder, a copy of your project is made before the encode commences. This has to happen so the sequence is locked from changes.
So making a copy would be doubling up this process.
Take this example – you have a sequence with 10 commercials in it, each at 1:30, 2:30, 3:30. You have to export client dubs and station dubs. All you have to do is set the work area, dial up the correct export settings and send to AME. After each export is sent, you can set up the next export.
Hope this post actually helps.

Thanks Paul. I thought that might possibly be the case… or at least I was hopeful. YEAH!

I often will have a long sequence and export one part, (mark IN, mark OUT) send it to AME and jump back to APP and mark a new in and out send the next section to AME and so on down the line. I have done this many times without issue.
The question, as I understood it was modifying the media in the sequence, editing, deleting clips in the sequence you just queued up for render.
I just tried this as a test, Paul is correct, you can modify a sequence, work on it, after you send it to render. My mistake there, I thought I ran into issues doing that in the past. I have always exercise great caution in not touching a sequence that was in queue to render or is rendering. Looks like you can.
I’ll still always make a copy personally.
