Change the codec for a multicam project

Posted by Mike Tomei on September 20, 2011 at 1:29 am

Hello everyone,

I have a situation I’m hoping you all can help with. I have AVC-INTRA 100 720p60 footage from three cameras recorded on P2 cards that I mistakenly placed in a DVCPROHD 720p60 sequence. I then nested that sequence inside another DVCPROHD 720p60 sequence so I could multicam edit all the cameras. After I finished the project, I had that “duh” moment when I realized that it was actually AVC-INTRA 100 footage, and not DVCPROHD footage. Now I’m wondering how to change both sequences to the correct codec.

So I know that I can simply create a new AVC-INTRA 100 sequence, copy all the contents of sequence 2 (my multicam enabled sequence with all the edits) and paste it in the new AVC-INTRA 100 sequence. The issue I’m having is that since it contains a nested sequence for the multicam edit, and the nest is pointing to the original sequence with the footage from the three cameras that’s still incorrectly in a DVCPROHD sequence. So I’m wondering how to get the codec changed to AVC-INTRA 100 for the sequence with the footage from the three cameras, then tell the nested sequence to now point to the correct location?

Jeez, I hope I explained that clearly! As always, thanks in advance for the help.

Hi Todd,

You’re right, Colin Brougham bailed me out once again and came through with a great solution to my problem. Worked like a charm.

Todd, on a side note, I enjoyed your “Optimizing Performance for Adobe Production Premium” class at NAB’s Post Production World last April.

Take care.
