Hi, I found a workaround for this issue using keywords in the file name. It only works for a limited amount of keywords however.

If you go to export your videos under “File Naming” > “Rename To:” and then click “Custom Setting” there is an option to write the keywords to the file name. Then you can search by filename in Premiere. If you have too many tags or your file path is too long the export will fail however.

Thanks for the info everyone!

Kevin’s suggestion for batch import works for my purposes.

I will have to check out making a bridge collection, that seems like a better workflow.

Hi, Angelo. I’m not using any XMP fields yet, I can’t find a way to export video metadata from Lightroom.

I guess there are 2 parts to my question:

1. How to get video metadata out of Lightroom
2. How to associate this metadata with Premiere

Thanks!

If cloning doesn’t work you could also try eliminating the background person with content aware fill/delete. Making the person slightly larger might also work.

[Andy Baumgartner]

I found a half solution. In preferences >general if you turn off anti-aliasing the lines go away but all artwork is jaggy as you’d expect.

Control B Disables the clip I separate which is pretty fast. So my problems is 70% solved. An automatic black background would still be faster, maybe I’ll just batch the photos in photoshop…

[Andy Baumgartner]

Thanks, a slug should make things a little faster. I’d been using the blade tool to separate the video underneath and set it’s opacity to 0 but if I want to adjust the length of the picture there’s many more steps than if a background automatically filled the space behind the pic.

Does the feature I described not exist in final cut?

Thanks.

Ease and Wizz is pretty cool but it can’t retain the speed, plus its expo doesn’t ease quite as much as the exponential option in the key-frame assistant for some reason.

[Andy Baumgartner]

Tried Exponential between each key-frame; still too choppy.

Thanks for the link Andy, I’ll try it and report back.

[Andy Baumgartner]

Thanks for responding guys. I’ve been using the graph editor but when I use the magnet (so the value and time of my keyframe remains fixed (which it has to because I’m animating to an audio byte)) and I raise the two sides of the keyframe velocity, the velocity before dips below the previous key frame value to compensate and I get backwards motion.

I didn’t think to manually key-frame in between but I’ll try and see how the motion blur works.

Thanks!
