Hi Richard…

What about a San Environment?

Is it possible to place the Meta data on the san as opposed to it being local for each client?

I guess they’d need a Bridge “Server” app and then each local box becomes the bridge “client”….

I was already if it was possible to save “Colections” on a San so you could access them from any box…

hmmm…

I already hit on some of the Adobe folks that they need to have Bridge mine the data already looged for clips in Premiere….

Hi Guys…

I’m just curious about your projects themselves.
Is itnecessary to have all the sources present at the same time?

This is why I ask about the Bridge.

Bridge will allow yoo to browse all your media, and even audtion (review playback) your clips external to your Premiere project then you just drag them to your project bin as needed. Also if you tage your clips with meaningful metadata in the bridge, it makes useful searches across whole volumes very fast….it’s pretty cool actually…

So perhaps you could break things up a bit.

Of course Adobe should address the problem, epscially if they are really getting serious about Premiere and want to call it “Pro”, but this might let you work easier for now.

Hope this helps….

Just a possibility…

Hi Guys…

no an solution, but a work around…

could you keep the sources in smaller project sets and somehow use Adobe Bridge to access stuff as needed?

Of course…

If you nest the clips you want to apply the effect and apply the eefect once to the nest in the main sequence that can work too….depends on what you are doing with the clips…

Hi Tim…

My ONLY experiences with Premiere have been in the following Configs:

1) Matrox Axio – SD and HD, this works very well and if propoerly confogired allows for an impressive amount of real time editing even in HD.

2) Black Magic Deck Link – only a bit here, but it seemed to work as advertised. It allows I/O of uncompressed video as well as real time SD fades and cross dissolves. Beyond that everything is rendered.

3) Aspect HD for HDV workflow – I’ve used this configuration a bit too. I didn’t like the fact that the video didn’t deiplay on the computer screen guring the digitization process. Once I got the GFX hardware color calibrated, it seemed to work OK, and image quality was great.

At the time I worked with a client using Pre Pro for just DV, I was more of a producer/motion gfx guy…but it didn’t seem to awful…So I suspect a system config issue.

hope this helps…

I think it all comes down to the market you are in.

10 bit is not important everywhere.

And it seems to me when project $$ is based on hourly rates…

Axio LE ought to fit nicely in many places….

It integrates in the sense that media from Adobe apps can be a compatible input source file for Cleaner. No other support than that….

Rp..RP…

On second thought you may actually want to use nesting.

That way if you amke any chages to the Source Color Correction, it will update in the main timeline wherever that clip is used….

The choice is yours….

This workflow starts the same:

1) Make a timeline for CC sources
2) Color Correct as on that timeline.

Here’s where it diffes from the previous method.

3) Select the Sequence in you project window and load it to your source viewer and edit it like it was a clip.

4) Edit it to the timeline.

Now if you make CC changes at the source timeline level, whevere clips from that timline are used, they will automatically reflect the new changes. This can be very helpful (needing to make the adjustment at only one place).

BE AWARE:

Time codes you are referencing in the source viewer will be that of the Nested timeline, NOT of the source media itself.

This can make it difficult if you are working in an Offline > Online workflow (lowres >rebatch hires).

Or if you have shot logs based on the source timecode that you will be refercing to make your intial selects….the timecodes will not match….

You’ll also have to test and see how “heavy” it makes the material and if it’s worth the effort…

Sorry I don’t know all the answers…but these are the options as I can see them….

Anyone else want to chime in?
