Can PP CS6 create proxy media upon import?

[Alex Udell]

This is part of the functionality of Adobe Prelude.

Sort of like Log and transfer in FCP.

But can:

1) mark and stay native, send to PPro
2) mark and generate selects in one or more alternate codecs of your choosing, send to PPro.

I think that if you don’t see presets you want for codecs you can make them in AME and they should show up in all 3 apps (AME, PPro, and Prelude).

Do you know if you can setup watch folders with Prelude?

And is it available to install on multiple machines with a single license since Producers, Assistants, and Media Wranglers, would have the most benefit using it over a network to prep an edit?

[Alex Udell]

Watch folders are a feature of AME.

Nope Prelude is a full on application, so simultaneous users require multiple licenses.

I don’t know about floating it…that’s an adobe question….

You might want to contact Adobe about volume licensing. Prelude isn’t listed as being licensed separately from Production Premium but it might be arranged under their volume licensing program https://www.adobe.com/volume-licensing/benefits-by-role.html

That is, if you figure out Prelude is what you actually need.

At the moment, you can license Prelude separately through the Adobe Volume Licensing / Transactional Licensing Program:

So if my producer and I both have CS6 Prelude, I can:

1. Make a low-res transcode (H.264?) of my original native P2 DVCProHD footage
2. Send it to him via Creative Cloud
3. He can mark it up with in and outs and comments in Prelude
4. He can send it back to me
5. And then I can take that XML data back to my original native files and make full-res selects to edit with?

This would make my life so much easier. Please tell me it can be done.

And please point me to some documentation or tutorials on it. I can’t seem to find anything that get’s too deep into Prelude yet.

can prelude handle MTS natively better than PPro? i see no reason it could unless it creates its own proxies.

so to load 4hrs of MTS and start logging in/out points for most likely takes to send to PPro (to relay only pre-trimmed good candidates), it sounds like i’d need to make my proxies first for all the footage, then open those into Prelude. am i right?

in fact, it sounds like i could use proxies more for prelude than PPro since it will deal with ‘all the footage’ whereas PPro will get a fraction of it.
