Also a longtime FCP user. Match Sequence Settings doesn’t behave in PPro like it does in FCP (which can act like a super-powerful quicktime, stitching clips together without needing to re-encode, etc).
That’s a strange error — I have successfully exported PR422 video many times. Here are a few shots in the dark: Have you tried it with a different codec? Have you tried using the Media Encoder? Are you exporting to a FAT32 drive (which has a 2GB limit)? Have you tried rebooting the computer?

EQ and low-pass both apply a persistent filter to the sound, whereas a de-esser will dynamically engage whenever the chosen frequency and amplitude are present (that’s how I understand it, at any rate). That means that the filtering only takes place when the “s” sound occurs, and allows other high-frequency sounds to continue when there isn’t an “s” occurring.
Though I see that an EQ filter could be preferable to a low-pass, as it can allow sounds above the target frequency to continue as well….

This is pretty obvious, but you have to expand the triangle next to the “Audio 1” (or whatever you’re calling your audio tracks) before you can see the waveform. Hopefully you’ve done that already.
Once you’ve done that, on the left side of your timeline window, place your mouse cursor between tracks and you should be able to drag them up or down to make them larger. Is that what you’re looking for?

[Itamar Kool] “I already thought that the up and down arrow didn’t work”
The up and down arrow doesn’t move between edits (as in FCP) but advances the timeline one section at a time (something like page-forward, page-backward). This bothered me at first but after a while using page-up/-down makes good sense for this function, as you can also use shift+home or shift+end to move to the beginning or end of a selected clip. In other words, all your navigation-via-clips is done with those four keys (end, home, pgup, pgdown)

One thought: you have AE comps in your timeline; depending on what you’ve got in there, the export time can become dramatically longer.

A good rule of thumb is to get all clips into exactly the same format as your timeline (video & audio codec, sampling rate, frames per second, etc). If I were you, I’d take the problematic video clip into Quicktime Pro (if you still have it) or After Effects and render it out to the exact specs of your editing timeline.
Of course, you don’t HAVE to do this all the time, but you sure will have a lot fewer problems if you do…. I suggest you give that a try and see if you still have the problem with video lag.

Bless you — I’m writing it down now!

Nice — that will work just fine. Thank you Greg!

…and keep in mind that there are features in FCP that don’t correlate exactly with PPro, so all the hotkeys won’t translate directly between apps.

Thanks for the clarification, Tim. I’m still curious if you have a preferred codec when/if you want to convert an interframe codec like a DSLR’s H264 or AVCHD to an edit-ready intraframe codec….
