A flattened file is fine until you encounter a dissolve your CC can’t ride through without looking wrong.

It’s just odd that X (and legacy) are still the standout in this field, whilst companies like Avid create problems if you use AMA, and Premiere is just a problem because it essentially only supports natives and doesn’t have a transcode codec.

…and think that you can edit natively. That’s the catch. AMA works fine and dandy if you transcode to Avid codecs. It’s when people try to edit things natively in Avid (which lovely Avid Marketing says they can do!) where things get iffy.

If I remember correctly that’s what Walter was trying to do. Edit AMA, then transcode to Avid codecs, then round trip to resolve. Which didn’t work and even the Avid rep. That came to visit couldn’t figure it out. So they had to send resolve flat files. They figured if they were going to have to send flat files they might as well switch to premiere and that’s what they did. I just kept thinking that X would allow him to do what he wants, but the timeline is just too different I guess. And perhaps OMF and such is a pain in X, but audio in general can be a real hassle in Premiere too.

It’s true that Adobe doesn’t have their own proprietary mezzanine codec, but you could use a Prelude workflow to transcode and avoid the perils of a native workflow.

Not really. I mean yes, if you don’t understand what you are doing, but its got a seriously good audio set up. It needs to support control surfaces, though. Maybe in a couple of weeks.

“are you referring to X or PP, Chris?

I’m referring to Premiere, though everything I said probably applies to X as well. Except I doubt we will see an audio control surface for X anytime soon. Since Audition can take them, I’m hoping the next version of Premiere will be able to as well.

What if we all posted a feature request to Adobe? Maybe they’d create this feature for us. We need the equivalent of a Media Manager that copies and exports your sequence clips with handles and transcodes on export.
Could you elaborate on the Prelude workflow? Is this something we could use as a workaround?
