Now I get the error message and it quits everytime I press F9 or F10.

It is really quite a big setback when you’re editing a documentary. Being able to organize material and tag clips and add descriptions is an absolute must. So yes, this is a major setback for my process.

I found an old post regarding this issue. It seems that you can’t put markers on merged clips, or at least, the marker info dissapears when you close an re-open the clip.

Furthermore you can’t export XML’s of merged clips?

– I can’t colorgrade the project in a seperate piece of software?

Is Adobe on crack?

I mean, I have around 30 different interviews and NO WAY of keeping track of anything anybody says!

I am working completely blind and have to scrub through clips over and over again to find something I want…

How is this even possible that this error hasn’t been corrected???

Let me start over:

I have ALOT of video footage shot on DSLR. B-roll and interviews.
Approximately 11 days of shooting arranged into folders corresponding to a specific date.

Example:
EHF_101112_DK/
EHF_101112_DK_001.MOV
EHF_101112_DK_002.MOV
EHF_101112_DK_003.MOV
EHF_101112_DK_004.MOV
Etc.

I also have ALOT of audio recorded externally, ALSO arranged into folders corresponding to a certain date.

Example:

101112/
001T01_1.WAV
001T01_2.WAV
001T01_3.WAV
001T01_4.WAV
001T02_1.WAV
001T02_2.WAV
001T02_3.WAV
001T02_4.WAV

How do I go about the process of syncing the footage and merging the files into sorted folders? I am on Windows 8 using Premiere Pro CS6.

What is the typical workflow?

Please help!

No?

All the material was converted to:

Apple ProRes (HQ), 1.280 x 720
Linear PCM, 32 bit big endian signed
integer, 48000 Hz, Mono

Sequence settings:

1280 x 720 (Aspect Ratio HDTV 720p (16:9)
Apple ProRess 422 (HQ)

Those are my settings at the moment, I still get the black bars in the top and bottom,
what am I doing wrong?

Also, do you know any other plugins good for a horror trailer?
Like inverted flashes and stuff?

I know these are possible with the effects already built in, but the transitions you linked were pretty good.

I just tried that, same result, still blocks and artifacts.

[Daniel Neutzsky-wulff]

I used the standard settings that came with the preset.
Yes, I exported a self-contained QT from FCP, which looks fine.
