I usually copy (cmd+c) the clip with the colour correction I want, then highlight all clips I want to paste the effect onto, right-click and select ‘paste attributes’ – lumetri colour. that should paste the effect onto every clip in your selection.

Source track indicator (V1) will disappear if you don’t have any V1 media in your source window….

So considering you’re trying to edit with a muticam sequence… perhaps your locator is at a part of the multicam sequence where there is no V1, (only V2 and/or sound). Try scrolling to a bit in the multicam sequence where there is V1 media. Or, load up a video only track into your source monitor and see if your V1 toggle comes on.

I think you’re overcomplicating the process….

If you want source timecode, DON’T put the ‘timecode’ effect on an adjustment layer or any other layer. Add it directly onto every single clip in your cut, and as long as you set ‘timecode source’ parameter to ‘Media’, it should display source timecode as the colourist has requested.

That’s right Dan – a ‘merged clip’ is basically a new master clip, with no relation to the parent clips.
In Premiere (unlike Avid), subclips cannot be created from separate audio and video sources. So really the only option is using merged clips.
Another way of working is to sync all rushes out on a timeline, and edit with a timeline. That is ok in documentary, but I find it really fiddly in scripted narrative, when I might specifically need to look for a certain take, and I don’t want to have to scroll through a full days rushes trying to find it.
I take it you’re an online editor – just wondering what is the problem on your end with merged clips? I thought, as long as the merged clip references the correct source media on the hard drive (which is should, unless the offline editor has done something phaffy), then it shouldn’t matter whether the merged clip retains any relation to the parent clip? Curious about how this affects your workflow, cheers.

Yep, but I still think that the ridiculous file size of your project is a completely seperate matter, because I’ve heard other editors talk about the same issue (although I’ve not paid attention to it because I haven’t come accross it). Apparently there are youtube tutorials out there explaining the issue if you want to research it, and a program that shrinks your project file if you need it.

Sure, my feature drama films would have been much more standardised than you doco project, as it would have been a lot less media and all proxied to a standard format. But no matter how complicated your doco was, it still wouldn’t justify any project file being so large…. a project file is just a key to media and never has to be that large, so it still indicates something else is going on here, like other media (render files?) is being embedded in the project file? Anyway, it’s a known problem so I’m sure the explanation is out there.

Have cut 2 feature length films on Premiere (one on 2015 and one on 2017) and the project files never got bigger than 20mb. Also, projects loaded up in a flash, no lag at all. Not sure what I was doing differently but I have heard others report the same problem of large project files. There must be a way around it considering I’m not having that problem.
I cut my films on a 2015 macbook pro with h.264 proxys. They were both quite complex edits with a high shooting ratio.

You can access colour space settings either by right-click the clip in the Project window and selecting ‘Source settings’from pop-up menu, or loading the clip in the Source monitor and clicking on the Effects tab.

I think this is because sequence settings aren’t that relevant in Premiere – it saw the source video 3K so that is how it interpreted the AAF.

Shouldn’t really be a problem… you can easily create a HD sequence in Premiere and copy the contents of the 3k sequence into it. Or, you can work in the 3K sequence and master out at HD.

Bump…

Apparently on some adobe forums they have been requesting this feature for 3 years. from what I’ve read, the feature still hasn’t been added….

If anyone has more up to date info on this, please reply. You would think after 3 years of A LOT of people requesting this feature that it would have been added….

There is probably a shortcut for the feature, now that you know the feature does exist, you can go looking for it. Premiere is a primarily a picture editing program – all the soundies I know work in Pro tools, so I’d hardly think sound features are a priority in premiere, especially when there are so many other bugs in Premiere that need ironing out!
