“Offline” for HD material?
In PPro 2.0, is there a way to make offline versions of HD clips after capturing, or after importing the HD files into a project?

I”In PPro 2.0, is there a way to make offline versions of HD clips after capturing, or after importing the HD files into a project?”
I would like to know the answer to this as well…. Does anybody know? Final Cut Pro has been able to do the offline/uprez/reconnect media trick for awhile… I hope this new premiere pro can do the same…

I’m not even asking if you can do it natively. I’ll even use a 3rd party application or plug-in. I just want someway to take HD captures and files, convert them to a “DV offline” or a smaller bitrate intermediary codec file… edit away, work with the footage, etc. Then re-synch the original HD footage to the project.
(Cineform, are you listening?)

I realize it’s an expensive proposition at the moment but Axio does this specific function with their 8 mbs HD offline codec. You export all your media to this codec, edit on a laptop if you want, and then re-link your material to the HD original. I don’t know if anyone else provides something like this.

From this message you seem to have found a way to export all your HD captures to the offline codec or are you exporting each clip separately?

I’ve never had to try the process, but without database level media management, I don’t see any other way than the seperate export of each clip – ie make a new timeline, put the master clip on it, and export a new file that will match in temporal length the hi-rez version. I suppose you could also throw all your master clips on one timeline then make a workspace matching each one individually and export them that way. Either way I miss the batch features in edit*

The only way to make an offline version after capturing would be manually export the file into the format you wanted. If you had Axio you could export to its codec. If you had cineform, you could capture into its compressed HD format.
One note I will add is that if you downconvert your HDCAM/D5/HDCAMSR material to NDF DVCAM or SD with synchronous timecode, the new EDL importer can accurate pull up a 29.97 EDL to be accurate to your 23.98 Online project.jacob

The feature we are working on has a lot of CGI and FX.
Our workflow is to capture the HDcam FX shots at full rez and then export them thru Cleaner to mpeg4 for off-line FX work. The full rez is brought back into 3dsMax and Combustion for the final cleanup and composite.
We can’t get the Matrox off-line HD codec to work in Cleaner.
Maybe next time.Ken Adolph

Ken,
Did you try Procoder?

If you select all of the clips you want to export from the bin and load all of them into the Source Viewer, you can export them from there, one at a time, just use the next clip keyboard command to have the next clip in the Source Viewer.

Hmmm? I’m just reading Charlie White’s review of PPro2 and he states, “Also strengthening Adobe
