You could nest the sequence in a new sequence and use the rate stretch tool to pull it back to 60 seconds..

Hi Fred
Great idea from Alex, let us know how you get on.

OK, thanks for this. I think I’m starting to get what’s going on.

I’m not sure quite what to do in this instance, but for future clips try putting the whole un-cut clip on to a new timeline and then before you do anything else nest that timeline in a new sequence and edit that sequence.

The issue you will have is that the waveform will not display. However, if you go through the original clip adding sequence markers where you want to make cuts those markers will show up in the nested sequence and you can then use them as guides to the editing you need to do.

Then, when you have the replacement audio you add it to the original sequence and the edited sequence should then respect your edits including the new soundtrack (or anything else you add in to the original un-cut sequence). All you would need to do is sync the audio up and turn the speaker off for the original audio and it should then have respected the edits and replaced the original audio.

I know it is a complex way of working, but it should work for all future clips. I am only sorry I can’t help with the project as it now is :o(

Maybe someone else will have a brainwave?

All the best
Andrew

Hi Fred

As far as I can see it should work fine. Maybe you just can’t see the audio in the timeline as it is mono and so goes to the very bottom of the timeline under your existing audio tracks? Try expanding the panel and seeing if the tracks are going in below the present tracks.

Hope this helps

Ps new tutorial on this coming later next week I think

Hi Carl
I’m not an expert on RAID, it may be worth starting a new thread for that.

A rule of thumb for HD is this: anything that is larger than SD is HD. So, when you exported out the frame you were exporting out an HD comp regardless of the size of the image you used in it – so it would be HD.

Hope this makes sense.

Hi Carl
The problem is almost certainly the speed of the hard drive on your system. The bit rate needed to run multiple HD layers is more than a standard drive can provide. The only real way to deal with this is to have a good RAID system so that the rate you can draw info from your discs is at a usable rate when running multiple HD layers at one time.

Hope this helps

Hi Jeff

As I said above, I was a little mixed up with the way that AE works with the media cache files and especially the way that mpeg files are reindexed to .mpgindex files. See the following link at the bottom under media cache

Again sorry for the mix up and I hope this explains why I got a little mixed up … it’s been a busy day! I will hold back answering in the forum for a while …

Hi Tony

This is what I meant … follow the link

https://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/WS741BE3C1-41CC-4e00-BCA2-E1DC068001CF.html

I was getting mixed up with After Effects which creates its own version of MPEG files ( .mpegindex I think) so it can access them easily etc ..

Sorry for any mix up
Andrew
