Working offline with heeeavy HD footage
Hi
I’m trying to edit my AVC-Intra 50 shots, but my computer is not strong enough to handle theese files smoothly.
I want to create low-resolution files, like DV files, edit with theese files, then relink to the AVC-Intra files before final rendering. Any experience with this solution?
I assume this is what Premiere refers to as offline editing.
How does this work step by step?Thanks,

Hiya, Lars. What if you make dupe DV rez AVI’s from the originals – so they are identical in content – and edit those on the HD timeline. Then make those files offline when you are done the edit, and re-link to the originals before rendering? Seems like that should work.

I just tested your idea. In the end it worked, but first after alot of fighting:
When I’m about to relink from the 576i25 to the 1080i25, I find the 1080-folder and the corresponding file with the same name, except the ending .MXF instead of .AVI.
Unfortunately, this ending seems to make trouble, Premiere refuses me to select the 1080 file, but instead automatically opens the folder with the SD-file when i click SELECT.
This happens three times, the fourth time i click select on the 1080 file it finally works. Weird…!
So, this looks like a work-around method, but isn’t there a more common way to work offline that’s more safe and stabil?

Lars,
I haven’t ever edited any HD footage yet, I’m still working with DV. However, I know I will be relatively soon. If you find a better workflow, let me know. One question I have for you is how did you make the 576i from the 1080i originals?

The easiest is using Adobe Media Encoder or similar programs like Sorenson Squeeze 🙂
