  • Custom iFrame creation between PP CC and AME CC

    Hi Guys,

    I currently have a problem related to encoding m2v files in media encoder coming from premiere pro and was wondering whether anyone would be able to help me out.

    Some background info – I work at a post facility and we’re looking at migrating our workflow from FCP7 + Compressor to Adobe’s Premiere Pro and Media Encoder applications. Please note we use Sonic Scenarist for the authoring of all media and are unable to migrate to anything else.

    A majority of our work revolves around the output of DVD format MPEG2 files which must adhere to the PAL standard settings (GOP size of 15).
    As it stands, “compression” markers set in a sequence within FCP7 and then sent to Compressor for encoding force the creation of an i Frame – meaning that chapter points generated from an exported marker list line up with the exact timecode in the authoring software.

    After extensive testing I have been unable to replicate such a workflow using Premiere Pro and Media Encoder. Since Media Encoder does not read the marker data from the Premiere sequence it simply creates an MPEG2 file with its own inherent GOP structuring – completely un-impacted by the placement of PP CC “chapter” markers. (or any other type for that matter).

    The result of which is that the markers from the original PP CC sequence do not line up to their original locations and are moved to the closest generated iframe which can offset by several frames.

    Is there some sort of setting that I have missed which might be able to create iframes in place I have assigned myself – or is this not possible in the current versions of Premiere Pro CC and Media Encoder CC?
    I am aware that there is an xmp generated which can be used by Encore – But as I mentioned earlier we’re not really able to go down that road.

    I would appreciate any advice you could give regarding this matter.

    Thanks.
