Regarding audio: After creating the Multicam nest, I usually just cut the original audio back in, then perform edits that affect only the video track.

re: Select all clips of a certain take….hmmm what’s the application here. why? I don’t understand…but I will say that for say for sync reasons….typically ripple deleting with multi-cam is something I steer clear of.

Hi…

the joy of a 32bit application that happens to be a RAM hog.

Is your CS3 running the latest patch of that version.
Early versions of CS3 would lose connections to renders.

Also….it is my understanding that it’s not just the clips in your project window that PPro has to keep track of (which uses RAM), but PPro also appears to keep track of iterations of renders (not just the most current one). I could be wrong about that, so others might want to chime in.

This is what, for example, allows you to undo after making a change, and having PPro show a green bar from a previous render so you don’t have to render it again. So this also may take some RAM as well. This might explain why your project became so bloated.

If the worst thing that would happen is that you’d have to render again. Might want to consider shutting down Premiere, deleting the render files from wherever your project scratch disk is set to. Then moving forward, being a bit more judicious with how much you are rendering. Not sure the length on the render is as important as the pure number (iterations) of renders.

Another thing that helps is to clear your source viewer history every so often while working. At least I’ve noticed this.

Hope that helps. Anyone else?

Stephen….

this sounds like something similar to Avid’s auto patch feature.

Would be nice.

Cineform has codecs that are cross platform I believe.

There is the ability read ProRes on the PC side as well.

Haven’t tried it though.

Mac Drive is a fine solution for this.

Assumes your media is stored in a compatible codec.

Hi Steve…

Glad you have a workflow that meets your needs.

I think we had a fundamental miss early on in the thread…

In PPro:
Replace with AE Comp (CS4 and later)
and
Copy in PPro > then Paste into AE Comp (older method)

are methods of creating AE Comps from edits started in PPro.

you are referring to the other end:

Taking the AE comp back into PPro as a Live link to the AE as opposed to taking a clip rendered from AE back into PPro.

Regardless of the method…

My question centered around:

If you are using an AE comp Dynamically linked in PPRO and are in a Shared storage environment, if the AE artist changes and saves the AE Project while you are working, will PPro detect it and update dynamically. My assumption is that as long all paths to media are the same in the workgroup, it would be true, BUT these are computers we’re talking about….so one can never tell. 🙂

Thanks,

Alex

How do you make the AE comp?

“Replace with AE Comp”

or

Copy in PPro then Paste in AE?

Hi Stephen….
What does this mean

“What does not work (for me anyway) is using dynamic link out of Pr to AE then back to PR.”

How does it not work?

So when you try dynamic link….

do you get the right file, but the wrong frames (in and out)?

This is what I experienced with HDV.
