A follow up to Good bye FCPX,

[Keith Koby]

Thanks for the link.

The NTSC DV sized presets would be more useful if they matched the FCP 7 legacy formats for ProRes. (720×486 vs the 720×480 that you have there). Not entirely sure that it matters to Premiere.

The Adobe Media Encoder as a whole would be much, much better if it didn’t down mix audio to mono or stereo. Just pass the channels through as is in the source.

Keith – thanks for the input!

This is a good opportunity for me top mention our feature request link: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

We actively tabulate and look at these requests, so they don’t fall into an Internet black hole!

Additionally, you can take a preset and modify it to suit your audio needs and then save it as a custom preset.

As for 720×480 vs. 486 – 480 is the correct one: https://www.adamwilt.com/DV-tech.html

As is our aspect ratio .9091 vs. .90 (4×3) & 1.2121 (16×9)

Thanks,
Dennis – Adobe guy

[Keith Koby] “720×480”

Keith, 720×480 is the correct pixel count for DV.

Thanks for the play by play. We are still frozen on FCP because of inertia and the unknown. Most of our workstations already have Premiere installed due to CS bundle, but it’s hard to pick the project to be the Guinea pig.

[Jacob Hoehne] “but it’s hard to pick the project to be the Guinea pig.”

Much easier to get a project back into FCP7 (provided you’re dealing with QuickTime re-wraps of course) from Premiere than from FCPX into FCP7.

Is there an Audio Bypass at all in Encoder?

Budget always not enuff.

[Chee Wee Tan] “Is there an Audio Bypass at all in Encoder?”

When you’re in the export dialog box of Premiere Pro or the Setting box of Adobe Media Encoder, you will see a check box to not encode audio or video.

[Chee Wee wee tan]

Sorry, maybe I used the wrong word. It is not “bypass” but “Pass Thru”. So that the audio is exported but without any processes, only the video is converted to some other format.

A function so important, I had to continue using Compressor.

And for that matter, how about Built-in Timecode (BITC) by reading from the timecode track of a MOV file.

For item #1, nope we don’t do that. As for #2, I would like to see that native within Premiere Pro as many others would.
