Perfect, thanks!

There’s a better answer. As long as your cameras have synched timecode, all you have to do is highlight all the source clips you want synched in the project window (there’s no apparent limit to the number of clips you can select), right click, and then choose “Create Multi-Camera Source Sequence”. Pick “timecode”, click OK, and then you’ll have yourself a new multi-camera source clip. Drag that clip into your timeline, highlight it, then choose WIndow > Multi-Camera Monitor. Now as you play the clip in this new window, you can click back and forth between the video windows and it ought to change the “cuts” in your multi-camera clip when you’re done. Now you can close the Multi-Camera Monitor window and adjust the cuts you made on the normal timeline.

The preview panel is definitely open. The preview of the text effect just sits there as if it’s a still image. When browsing video files like MOVs and MP4s, those play back like you would expect, but something weird is going on with FFX files it seems.

Here is a screenshot of my Bridge window:

* I meant to say Bridge 5.1, not 5.5.

Alex – I’m totally with you on all those points. The trouble I’ve had is finding a codec that maintains all four channels of audio as recorded by the camera. So far I’ve only found ones that drop the audio channels down to stereo only. Is there a way to maintain the original audio channels that I’m just not getting?

Thanks for that link, but it seems to gloss over the section I’m interested in the most: “Part 2: Ingesting and logging footage in Adobe Prelude CS6”, which is barely a third of a page long! However, I’m getting a sense that people’s workflows apparently include capturing the P2 card file architecture and just letting Premiere make sense of the footage from there. But this method doesn’t let me rename any of the files, even within Premiere.

January 27, 2012 at 8:40 pm in reply to: Importing AVC-Intra footage originally transcoded by FCP into Premiere

In FCP when I open up Log and Transfer and then go to Import Preferences, I have the following settings chosen:

Source Format: P2 AVC-Intra
Target Format: Native

I also have

Source Format: AVCHD
Target Format: Apple ProRes 422

There are a few other Source Format/Target Format lines but they’re not AVC related so I didn’t type them out here.

Does this mean that AVCHD footage would have been turned into ProRes but AVC-Intra footage would have been wrapped as an MOV but still technically AVC-Intra?

And in case this helps diagnose (or solve) the problem, I’ve uploaded a very small (6MB) video clip shot with the AG-HPX300 camera and transcoded(?) by FCP as an example, available for download here: https://tinyurl.com/82pncht
