Hey….
seems like multicam would be a perfect way to preview this.
Remember though that Multicam doesn’t use the source monitor…
but the multi-up view attached to the program monitor when a nest sequecne is designated as multicam mode
and the viewer is enabled with the wrench tool.

Hi Ellen…
not to complicate things….
Media Browsers best use cases are really
1) looking at structured media types like:
.MTS files (that can appear contained with a single quicktime)
P2
XDCAM
REDWhere material is created by pieces of elements in a set of folders
2) looking wintin other Adobe PPro or AE projects to import sub sets of material to your current project (like sequences, bins or compositions)
For standard file types:
.mov, .mp4, .aif, .wav all sorts of image types
your file system is probably a much better tool for location media assets
One tool that Adobe does make that can help here is Adobe Bridge…
Something that can help you specifically in Bridge is something called “Collections”….
As you find project related items in the files system, which could be scattered around the file system…
A collection allows you to create a “container” where you can find all the related items, but they don’t have to move from wherever they are located on the drives.
Think of it like a BIN in Ppro….but outside PPro….
there’s more that Bridge can do….but there are a lot of caveats….and it takes some patience to really make effective use of the other tools.
maybe that will be helpful to you….

Hi…
Instead of doing it in Premiere…
do it in Adobe Media Encoder with a setting paired with a watch folder…
Watch folders can be set to output to a destination…Now here’s the trick…
The Project Panel in PPro needs to be set up to that the sequence to be encoded in in the root of the Project Panel…
and all other items are inside at least one level of bin….So you can then take the PPro Project file and drop it in a watch folder…
it will then encode and output to whatever destination folder you specify…That make sense?

Why not export a proxy with time code overlayed?
then they can refer to the point in time where they want to change…
you can do this via export and enable in the effects tab.
no mods of your timeline or media necessary….
or if you are exporting a references of all you sources….they can still identify it by the timecode and you can match frame from your time line or reveal in project quickly access the shot….

Well Magnetic overall specifically is a unique feature of FCPX.
But gaps left by lifting clips was one thing specifically in the thread topic….
And this is similar to that behavior in FCPX…
probably as close as you’re gonna get.

If you push two clips together it will create a transition automatically. If remove a clip the extent of the other clip is maintained, as opposed to Ppro’s behavior of leaving a gap.

Hey Phil…
depending on how you want to deal with the difference…..
prior to importing the media into PPro…
go to Prefs>General
and enable/Disable “Default Scale to Frame Size”
when this is enabled, Media will inherit the size of the sequence they are placed in.
In your case this would cause some non proportional vertical scaling in a 1080p sequence.
if this is enabled, clips won’t scale to the sequence and maintain their original resolution within the sequence.
Here you will be full width but have the option of positioning or proportionally scaling the clip to fit within frame and create the black bars (pillar box) you describe.
If your non matching source media is the 1st clip introduced to a 1080p sequence, you will be prompted if you want change the sequence to match the source….which you don’t…
After that….as far as rendering….there shouldn’t really be anything special to look out for as far as I can think.
hth,
