Is there a capture scratch?
Hi There!
I’m a long time Final Cut Pro editor and I’m making the switch to Adobe Premiere. It seems pretty similar but there are a few things that I’m still trying to figure out. I have Mac OSX 10.6.8 with Adobe CS5. I’m shooting on a Sony XDCAM. I have two SD cards that have footage on them that I need to import into Premiere, but only one SD Card reader. I love that Premiere supports so many different file formats and importing files seems to be easy. However, after I import my clips from one SD card and eject it to insert another, Premiere now says that my files from the first card are offline.
In Final Cut, I did a “log and transfer” and it automatically captured and stored my card data onto my designated drive so when I ejected the cards, the files were still there. Does Premiere do something similar or do I need to manually transfer the data outside Premiere?
Also, another random question… Is there a way to split the right and left audio channels on a stereo clip after it’s already in the timeline?
Thanks for any help! Have a great day!

When we receive XDCAM cards we simply copy the contents to our media RAID. Then, import the card’s files from the RAID.

To Exapnd on that…
when you import into Premiere Pro and navigate to where you files are located,
Premiere creates “clips” that point to that media location.
As you are pointing to a removable device, when you remove, the media goes offline.
So as Steve points out….
Copy the entire media structure to your Premiere pro Scratch Disk location.

Thanks for the info guys! I’m excited about the Adobe platform… switching can be a pain but there are a lot of similarities… I don’t think it’ll be to hard overall. I appreciate the feedback as I learn more about the product. Thanks!
