[Bryce Douglass] “hmm, Well I’m definitely selecting a proxy file and it’s larger than the native AVCHD”
If your computer cannot play the AVCHD codec at full resolution you can always opt to playback at half or quarter resolution. It seems like you are worried about files sizes and hard drive space when you shouldn’t have to. Trans-coding to an easier codec for playback is going to create a larger file sizes. If you opt for smaller proxies why not just view native AVCHD at 1/4 resolution?

[Scott Witthaus] ” As I said to Andrew, I get better Premiere answers here than over at the Premiere basics forum. So if I want them, I put up with the static…just my humble opine and mine only.”
I don’t doubt you can get answers for Premiere Pro in this forum but overall there is much more questions and answers for Premiere Pro in the actual Premiere Pro forum. If you ask questions in the Premiere Pro forum I imagine your questions would get answers.

[Andrew Kimery] “Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you mean by ‘real NLE questions’, but aren’t the program-specific forums on the COW the best place to ask those questions? Where as this specific forum is designed for, well, debates?”
I agree.

You might want to wipe and reload everything. It sucks but sometimes that is the only thing that works.

There is no need to trans-code. If playback stutters only render that area of the timeline.

[lisa robinson] “I find FCPX and Premiere easier to use, but which editing software do you think is best for broadcast? Are there work-arounds for caption files using FCPX?”
If you use closed captioning files a lot Premiere Pro might be your best bet. Do you use third party hardware from AJA, BMD or Matrox? You could look at DaVinci Resolve as well.

[Claude Lyneis] “Not exactly a home movie. Just look at the credits. Still it shows that an 800 $ device can make a great film in the right hands. Now for this forum we demand to know what editing software was used!”
I think they used In-sync’s Speed Razor 5.5 with a Targa 2000 video capture card : )

[Tony West] “[andy patterson] “The original post was talking about things as of now not in the past.”
[andy patterson] “it used to be”
“it used to be” is a comparison of the past and present. So he is talking about the past, as it compares to the present.
[andy patterson] “I cannot comment about the past. ”
Well you actually could (with more accuracy), if you followed his instructions here………
[andy patterson] “[Walter Soyka] “If you read the history of this forum before you arrived,””
?
I am not worried about the past nor do I care. If things have change it is probably for the best. I want to help out in the Premiere Pro forums when I can a then hangout in this forum to find out what the competition has to offer. Like I said DR is really looking good while Premiere Pro had a mediocre upgrade at NAB 2017.

DR is looking awesome.

[Bill Davis] “And truth be told, it starts with a rehash of a LOT of the negative X stuff. Nobody seemed to sugercoat anything in what I watched. There was criticism galore. And, of course, the vast majority of the people in it are people I actually know. S”
Some of those people you actually know have badmouthed Avid and Premiere Pro repeatedly.
[Bill Davis] ” Obviously since it was recorded at an X specific event – most of those appearing represent people who stuck with it long enough to get past their initial shock. But they really didn’t come across as fanboy zombies.”
That would be your opinion. I think the people interviewed were going to use FCPX regardless. What I am saying is if Microsoft had released FCPX many of the FCPX users would have considered it a piece of crap and never even tried it. On the other hand if Apple released a NLE very much like Avid’s Liquid many FCPX users would brag about how great it is. In other words what ever Apple does it is the cat’s meow. Having said that I am not saying all FCPX user would have that thought process.
[Bill Davis] “Look, this is really no different from Poker Players going to see a documentary about other Poker Players that includes people they know.”
I don’t think the movie is going to discuss how editing has changed from 3/4″ inch decks and a switcher to the Video Toaster to the Avid Media Composers. I don’t doubt the movie will show how FCPX users were victimized and ridiculed. People on these forums claim Premiere Pro uses laggy code base, an antiquated titling system and a cringe worthy GUI. Even though I see many FCPX bulling other NLE I am willing to bet The Off The Tracks movie will probably suggest that FCPX users are the real victims. That is my guess. I am willing to bet the movie will not be like poker players discussing their strategies as much as it will be like the Bicycle card company and a few followers glorifying Bicycle poker cards against the competition.
[Bill Davis] “Should be interesting around here when it comes out!”
Is anyone that works for Adobe, Avid or NewTek going to be interviewed? There is a difference between discussing NLE systems as opposed to glorifying a NLE.
