replacing a .mov file with an image sequence?
What I thought would be an easy task has become very frustrating.
I have a 4k project, that I rendered 1/4 resolution proxy files.
I did my edit with the proxy .mov files.
I’ve got my edit done, and want to substitute my low rez .mov file with 4k DPX image sequence.
I can substitute the first frame of the sequence with the .mov file, but no option of importing the sequence.
I have tried other work arounds:
– importing the 4K sequence and trying to do the substitute in my composition window. When I try this it doesn’t recognize the starting point of my cuts. It looks like it starts at the beginning of the footage instead of the cut “in” point.– I’ve also tried replacing the footage in AE, but again it’s not recognizing the correct place of the cuts.
Footage is all interpreted at the correct fps.

never mind – wrong fps in encoding proxy

Bart, can You please put more specific conclusion? I have exatly THE SAME situation as yours, but changing the interpreted fps in Premiere (both to final DPX sequence and MOV proxy) doesn’t help on the “in-cut” position issue.
Generally both my fpses mach – both are interpreted as 25fps “on the start”. They are both created from the same RED files recorded in slow motion (it was 50 fps, as I remember) – but that should not be important really, right? Both the clips were to be played in 25 fps, and that’s the value they are interpreted with by Premiere.
So what was your way of solving this hole problem of changed the “in-cut” position?
Thank You in advance for Your time, to help me.
EDIT: HERE YOU HAVE a video which illustrate the problem, step-by-step:

I can’t be exactly certain, because it was a while ago, and currently my workflow is a little different. But I don’t think I was able to get around the “in cut” issue. I think I had to re-do my edit unfortunately. Sorry I couldn’t be more help.

Thanks Bart for your respond. My situation has changed too – I have moved with my editing to After Effects (due to problems with replacing, mentioned above, and big amount of manipulations on the clips, which are better handeled in AE). But – just to close the case: You acctually can avoid messing-up the in-cut point in PR with SHIFT+ALT+DRAG, instead of ALT+DRAG
