Tried solution above.

A) switching camera on the audio portion did not actually seem to change the source as expected.
B) this presumes that each cam has one audio source. I am trying to do an edit where A Cam has two audio sources (lav and boom), and B cam has no usable, ref only,

What DID help, is that opening up your multicam clip like a timeline, and enableing/disabling the tracks I want.

If you are trying to do this while you edit, you can also Shift+T in your timeline, with your multiclip track highlighted, and it will open up the multiclip as a second timeline for you to switch your audio tracks.

Not as elegant as Avid. But better workflow than going back, editing in your audio, and trying to keep that together in the timeline, then having to match back again if you pull more back from your source.

I too would like a solution to this. I would like to lock the background of my lower third

Ok, well this still makes no sense.

If I am at 1:00 and I click and replace it with +10, I go to 1:10. If I click and replace with -10, I go to -0:00:00:10, before my comp begins.

How do I go BACK 10 frames???!!

Yes, there is Cmd+Shift+Left. But what if I want to go back a different interval, like 6 frames back???

Interesting…..

This makes sense. I have a 4k sequence (ridiculous, I know for a web video. Whatever, not my choice).

I did some text callout overlays in After Effects – in AE because they “flame on”.

It took like two hours to render my Premiere sequence.

I went back into the same AE project to do a logo animation. Did not touch my callouts comp.

Now back in Premiere, my render files are all gone.

It should be noted, that rather than render comps in AE to Animation QTs, I am just importing the comps unrendered using Adobe Dynamic Link. Keep things Flexible like.

Also, last night I rendered the logo animation in Premiere. I have not since gone back to open AE or modify the AE project. But the render files for the logo animation are gone. There is a part of this that keys over the video.

Using Premeire CS6.

Seems to be an annoying problem, I wonder if rendering Animation QTs out of AE with Alpha channels will be quicker than laying in the AE comps with dynamic link, esp if the render files keep dissapearing. From above sounds like now, but any info would be good.

Why hasn’t Adobe fixed this if this problem seems to go back (based on thread) from CS3 all way up to 6????!!!!

Thanks, you’re right, need to clear out existing TC and it works.

To be fair, I did use the syntax provided in the help file. So the help file is wrong.

Turning on keyframes for every 24 frames made a HUGE difference. Not sure why the default is off. Finally got a file that loooks good at a small file-size.

For apple products (Quciktime, FCP, Compressor), I always use “automatic” for keyframes. I am guessing apple does scene detection and figures out the best place to put keyframes based on content. Whereas Adobe doesn’t have that level of complexity for Quicktime encoding.

The “Maximum Render Quality” option made a 3 min seq take six hours (vs 40 mins) and looked MARGINALLY sharper, though this created it’s own artifacting issues on some graphics I had with moves. I have decided to never use this setting.

What DOES help is to render all effects, and then click “use previews”.

A Forewarning though, found Gradient Wipe to be super buggy. Trying to reverse the transition or adjust softness causes crashes!

[Brian Sarfatty]

Actually I found another workaround- there is something called a Gradient Wipe under effects. You can create a white to black gradient in Photoshop (in the direction you want the wipe to go), and use that for the gradient wipe image. A bit of work to set up once, but if you use soft wipes a lot, I think this method will be easier as it works as a transition, rather than staking multiple video layers.

[Brian Sarfatty]

I am not adjusting the volume – I have a one frame constant power audio transition. In transitions, Save Preset is greyed out of the panel menu.

[Brian Sarfatty]

This is a good workaround… thanks Todd. Easier than what I had been doing.
