I dunno…
sounds a lot like a bin ppro to me…
know a couple of things…
1) Bins can live inside bins inside bins if you want literal organization by hierarchy if you wish
2) from the source viewer it’s pretty to create subclips directly to a bin from the the markings of ftg you are working on. This means that when you load a sub clip to the source viewer or timeline, you will only see the portion as marked (but you can override if you were a bit to hasty in the initial clipping.)
3) in the Project panel if you switch to a list view, you can always use the description field (may not be exposed by default) to tag anything you drop in a bin with as many words that mean something to you. then at the top of the project panel you can quickly sift the bin by entering some of those words. as soon as you clear the entry you see all again.
so I think the virtual tools are there…you just kinda need to massage them a bit to get them closer to something you find acceptable. And….explore the keyboard shortcuts…they may help ya too…there are many things that are available to be mapped, but may not be by default.

Glad to do it!
Cheers!

sounds like you want to review your sources in parallel?
a multicam source will give you a multi up source view

Check the panel menu. You can have thumbnails in list view.

I used to use list view with large picons with description as the first column.
I think you lose scrubbing that way, though.

While I’d encourage the dive into speedgrade…
is it possible set your render codec in PPro to one of the smart ones like PPro, render the clips with MB in the sequence….
then make sure you are using smart renders when doing the final encode?

multi select your ftg in the project panel
right click
modify
interpret ftg
pixel aspect ratio
conform to HD anamorphic 1.33
what’s happening is that the footage as shot is using non square pixels (horizontally stretched) but this isn’t carried by XML…1.33 stretches each pixel horizontally so then the resulting image will fill the frame.
ta da! 🙂

When you say “go black”…
playing from the source revealed in the project panel? or when playing them as edited in the timeline?
Seems like could be….
Either the MXF files that are linked are somehow interpreted incorrectly (frame rate)
or
Your connected to the wrong set of MXF files.…
To test…in a fresh PPro Project if you import the same MXF material…(reveal the files in the OS from the Project panel)
do they play properly?
if so…examine the ftg interpretation in the project panel….see if there are some differences there..
not sure really…
just trying to help problem solve.

Do they say offline in the source viewer when you match frame from the timeline?
Hash marks in the timeline might mean that the ftg is online, but the edit points in the clips are outside the media timecode bounds.
also…you look at the media from the project panel…in the source viewer…is it connected to the right clips on you hard drive?
you may have some MXF with identical file names that ppro has reconnected to.
Since the durations or timecode don’t match, your edits in the timeline are likely out of bounds of those source files…
confirm that your mxf in the project panel are connected to the correct source files….
if this is corrected….you timeline should then clear up.

just a guess…
so when you open the Ppro Seq Settings, they are wrong?
could it be the sequence is right and the ftg is not interpreted correctly?
XML probably won’t handle the footage interp. You will likely need to set that in the project panel.
