If you are using .mov is there a reason you want to use sidecars?

Mov is a container that will support XMP embedding.

Just curious about your workflow intentions…

Thanks….

just some thoughts off the top of my head…

1) in PPro, is there a way to adjust the frame rate using the “interpret” options available by right clicking the asset in the project panel?

2) if you send as a multitrack from ppro to audition…you can still bounce the multitrack session in Audition to 1 track…which will result in a new flat file you could then edit…if you prefer to edit that way…

hi…

I’d suggest too….for a lot of your library things that you just want to have quick access to that might be scattered far and wide…on your network.

take a look at integrating Adobe Bridge into your workflow.

Collections in Bridge can act a lot like Bins do with the PPro application.
Materials from any location locally or on your LAN can be organized into collections how you see fit WITHOUT moving them from their original locations on your file system. thus…much like a BIN.

You can then browse collections and then from Bridge bring only the things you need into Ppro, there by keeping your projects slimmer.

you can also open/close Bridge as necessary without disrupting your PPro project.

just a thought for consideration.

Yes. Pro Res are self contained individual files.

[Eddie Adams] “Interesting. I was originally avoiding using ProRes in PPro because of the 32-bit issue, I didn’t realize that PPro processed all .MOV’s in a 32-bit path. This is due to a limitation in Quicktime? So this brings up the question – why is a program like FCPX able to process QT/ProRes/H264 in a 64-bit path but PPro isn’t? Or is that a mis-understanding that FCPX is utilizing 64-bit paths for those files when actually it’s 32-bit?”

The Adobe gurus can clear up the underlying tech for you. My information comes only from some of the detailed responses I’ve seen in this forum. As I have never even touched FCPx can’t speak to that either, but knowing how Apple is, it wouldn’t surprise me if they gave themselves and advantage not open to other developers (yet)….if that’s the case.

Hiya…

purely conjecture

but native MTS will use a lot of the mercury goodness which is a 64 bit path simply because it’s recognized as an MTS file.

re-wrapped as .mov….well now PPro sees that as a quicktime file and and has to revert to a 32 bit path thru quicktime… and the fact that it’s not a truly native quicktime codec but rather a soft pointer file to the original source probably adds a whole other layer of voo doo to the stream decoding.

that’s my best guess anyway….sorry it’s not a solution….

but the crux of your issue is the renaming….and file collision mgmt on relinking.

there have even some threads on here about utilizing Prelude with MTS for the purposes of organizing and naming files without transcoding which might be beneficial….I think within the last 30 days or so…

search Prelude and MTS here and see what pops up.

let us know…please….

I think it also has to be on Video track 2 or higher with nothing on Video track 1.

if you have have your video usage column exposed in the panel, it should list the number of times used and a disclosure triangle…which I think will list sequences it’s a member of.

also if you are in list view in the project panel, enable the preview at the top of the panel (i think it’s in the project panel menu at the upper left of the panel) this will also show the usage triangle for any selected source.

Hiya…

Aren’t their some prefs with regards to window focus that might affect this behavior?
