Premiere Pro CS6 AVCHD Span Clip Bug
I have CS5.5 and will not update to Creative Cloud and pay an annual subscription. I’m a microbudget filmmaker with no budget to pay for recurring upgrades. There are some things I like in CS6 so I wanted to upgrade to it but am really concerned with all of the AVCH span clig bug talk I have been reading on the internet.
I was waiting to buy a Canon Vixia HF-G30 but since it has not come out yet opted for a Sony HXR-NX30u (the stabilization system and XLR inputs won me over). I read in the manual that it creates new clips (spanning I’m assuming) when a clip size reaches 2 GB.
Adobe told me at the the Tekserv conference last week in NY that CS6 will not be fixed because there is a legal reason surrounding their ability to do so. They were very vague otherwise. They said it is fixed in the new Creative Cloud (technically CS7). I have even heard in forums that it’s fixed in the CS6 creative cloud version (not sure if that’s even available anymore now that the latest version is out). The Adobe person told me the span clip bug was only related to cameras that span clips from memory card to memory card (dual memory card configuration). This doesn’t seem to be the case from what I’m hearing.
I really appreicate how thorough and helpful you guys have been here in this forum in order to weed out misinformation.
Can anyone tell me if my new Sony camera is going to have this problem?
Also, I couldn’t seem to find the trial version of CS6 (desktop not creativecloud) to download and try with my new camera. I even read that it didn’t have the AVCHD prser to try. Can someone shed light on this and does anyone ahve a link to it? I don’t want to buy and try and have to go through the ehadache of getting my money back within 30 days.
Finally, if you are pulling in multiple spanned clips over a period of days and they all have the same directory structure should each directory structure be placed in it’s own directory? If you copy them into the same folder I’m assuyimg the metadata files will overwrite each other. I’m trying to understand the best workflow.
Thanks.
