Hi Bill….
What’s the Data Rate of a single stream of your Arri C?
If it bogs when you layer or multi cam interview….I’d suspect your drive(set) isn’t fast enough to keep up.
Also….you indicate that rendering resolves it…but I’d ask…where do you renders get stored? and what codec are they being rendered in? It’s likely a pretty lightweight format compared to the raw material, which likely explain the difference in performance.
How much Ram do you have….if it can be boosted, that might help as well.

Hi Rachel…
When you do a replace the clips like you have…
It’s helpful to think of the clip object in the timeline of PPro like a window peering into and see the resulting frames of what’s happening in the After Effects composition at the corresponding time.
So the Obejcts themselves: the clip in the Ppro time line and the layer in AE are two independent objects. Trimming an AE layer will not shorten or lengthen the corresponding clip in PPro….
Think of of doing work in AE and then just passing those resulting frames out where PPro can pick up the resulting frame and show it in the Ppro timeline.
If you trim a layer shorter than before…PPro will see black where those frames were, because there’s no frames feeding the clip obejct at that same point in time.
If you shorten a Comp in AE, PPro will likely show you diagnol lines (I think) on the timeline, because the comp object in AE doesn’t have enough “media” to fill the time legnth of the PPro Clip object.
If you lengthen a layer in AE to be longer than the comp it’s in, if you don’t make the comp it’s in longer….you will not be able to trim the clip in PPro because the clip length is tied to the AE comp, not the layer within it.
Hope that helps some….

If you use AE and media encode the same thing applies.
Set your work area to the frame rage you want….
then with the comp selected
Composition > Add to Media Encoder Queue
go back to comp
Adjust work area frame range
Composition > Add to Media Encoder Queue
both will be added to the media encoder with different frame rages for rendering…
hth,

Are we talking about AE or PPro here?
in PPro….
just set IN and OUT and Queue to Adobe Media Encoder
then repeat with a different IN and OUT as many times as you need…

Hi…
Shouldn’t the newer workflow of dynamically replacing native with Proxy assist with this?
there’s nothing to say that Proxies have to be of lesser quality….
what if it’s simply a transcode to a better performing codec?
So now you can start editing sluggishly and see performance improve progressively as material is replaced with the proxy set over time in the bkg?

before we had adjustment layers, nests were the only way to apply a single effect to a group…
classic example would be…
4way split that you want to fly in and out….
nest gives you one axis….
but it’s non destructive because you can step in and edit/replace sources within…

Hi…
As far as your parent sequence is concerned, the source material is 1920 x 1080.
It is not smart enough to delve 2 layers deep and scale at the source.
A couple of ways to handle this…
instead of nesting, you could try adjustment layers with effects to apply effects to the tracks beneath them…
but if you must nest…
then you can also simply use “flatten” to reveal those clips where you want to the latitude to do additional scaling…
to do this you will need to split the nest at those events….then right click and enable as multicam on that segment…then right click and “flatten”….this will pull the nested source into the parent timeline in place of the nest….
I know you are not multicam editing….but this is kind of a hack to get you the ability you want…

Hmmmm…..
only thing I can think of is using a sequence in place of “merged clips”
where the sequence is alignment of the audio and video…
don’t forget too that when you edit from a sequence to a sequence you can edit as a nested container or tracks to tracks…
