There are possibly EDL options if both workstations were
wired up to a server, possibly, but you’re asking for the
moon on a stick with this one. It’s a codec catastrophy.
Aside from individually exporting each FCP file as MOV or
AVI, you’re probably going to have to wait a year or so
until the whole Intel/Mac/Premiere back on the Mac issues
have settled down and Adobe and Apple start working more
closely again.

Cheers for that Kevin,

I actually recommend Kramer’s tutorial to other people,
myself. 🙂

Frame rates, pull down etc. I’m good with, but downcoverting
HD-SD within AE, and doing any pull-down, I haven’t seen
covered at CC (or anywhere else) yet. What I’m also interested
in, is how to not suffer the same HD render times once the
HD footage has been converted within a SD project.

I’ve got the plugin but haven’t used it yet.

That’s the fella. I was almost transfixed watching
it – not because the Beeb people had pinched it but
because of the hyperbole which normally eminates
from the Red Bee offices. (I was head of production
for a BBCi channel 2005-2006.)

Kramer’s ‘Riot Gear’ arrived at the office a couple
of days ago. Haven’t had chance to preview it yet,
though. Looks very sexy.

If there’s a firewire cable plugged in to
your PC and it’s connected to a camera
or VTR etc., then unplug it, because PPro
is probably routing the audio through that.

Re export: sorry to answer a question with a question,
but kind of export options are you looking for?

‘Also, I have yet to experiment with bringing After Affects comps
into Premeire without rendering. Would this be a good candidate
for that or would it be better to render it out as an uncompressed
AVI and import it into Premiere?’

After Effects imports PPro projects (to varying degrees of success)
but it doesn’t work the other way around – one reason, of course,
is because some of our AE plugins don’t work in/or with PPro, so
yeh, exporting in a ‘lossless’ format (like AVI) is the way to
go. The other trick with AE is to work on little sections at a time;
people get disappointed when their machine doesn’t RAM preview
as quickly as the tutorial video does.

The lovely Andrew Kramer has designed a brilliant
any frame rate – any frame rate plugin for After Effects 7 –
and it’s free. Grooovy.

The current selection of HDV plugins for ver.1.5.1 are
quite an eclectic affair really (all available from Adobe),
although quite unsurprisingly so considering that 2.0’s been
out for quite a while. I’m reliable informed that 1.5.1
will ingest Sony Z1/Z1e HDV material – which is, I suppose,
one of the more popular HDV cameras out there.

You should also consider Cineform’s HDV compression progs
for PPro too:

For what it’s worth, I think PPro 1.5 will remain my favourite
SD NLE for time immemorial, so it’s quite painful to watch
PPro lag so far behind in HD production vis-a-vis Final Cut/
ProRes, etc.

I’ve produced, mastered and mixed 1000s of tracks with Audition.
I have 16 years experience as a professional musician/producer,
and when I finished my Media Technology BSc(Hons) degree last
year, I graduated with a first. My dissertation (which also
received a first) was on compression techniques and frequency
anomalies in electronic voice phenomenon experimentations.

I also now how to conduct myself in an Internet forum, even
my conversing with patronising, anonymous know-it-alls such
as yourself, although I take your point that to apply specific
details (i.e. noise gate) in a general ‘aka’ way is disingenuous,
but hardly a hanging offence for you to bang on and on about
ad nausuem.

Well, you’re right and you’re wrong, because there’s guitar
pedals and certain plugins out there which combine both peak
limiting and gating control. Audition does not compress the
audio when ‘limiting’ is applied. And don’t ‘GET IT?’ me,
either.
