Hey thanks this has been super helpful. Better understanding already.

Thanks Ivan.
So in the case of image sequences, I use them when I plan to composite more or if someone asks for a sequence, but have never really used them as the default ‘lossless’ output. In that case what would be your preferred workflow to add audio, do you re-import the image sequence, layer audio and then recompress to delivery codec?
I guess even with an image sequence, this seems to me like the same issue as I’d have with any codec, the need to import, edit and re-render a timeline? (short of the “smart render” and “use previews”.)

CS6, I have CC but haven’t made the jump yet.

Thanks, It still does take around two hours for a piece this length. Nothing like the original 8 or whatever it was, but still more than I’d like for just a title swap…
I guess I incorrectly assumed there was some way to splice/merge segments just for simple edits.

Any more info recently on this?
I just discovered this problem and it actually makes the browser unusable, as I can never get to the clips that are off the bottom of the viewport unless I switch to list view. Every time I try to scroll down, the thumbs all refresh, and it auto-scrolls to the top. Basically means if if I have more clips than will fit in the window I can’t ever get to them with Media Browser. Super frustrating.

OK so I think I’ve solved my audio linkage issue — I needed to specify the video and audio tracks in the multi-camera monitor; there are drop-downs which I’d incorrectly assumed had something to do with the tracks in the multi-camera sequence, when in fact these correspond to the tracks in the sequence where the multicam sequence is nested. So getting those correctly selected, that seems to fix the issue of cuts vs. angle changes, now both seem to work 🙂

Just to add more info to this, one big issue that is making things really frustrating is that multicam sequences don’t maintain linkage to audio when a camera change is made. I’m trying to rough cut the sequences, and that requires some edits in addition to angle changes. When I make an angle change, the sequence loses its link to the audio track. Conversely when I make a cut of any kind, the link stays intact. Maybe I just don’t understand how this multicam feature is supposed to work.
Learning. Always.

Thanks, I did take your advice, tried a couple of options, retiming, frame blending, and then… just dropping the 23.97 footage in a 29.97 sequence in PPro. Oddly enough, just dropping it in and not converting anything rendered results that seem just as good if not better than what I was getting from hours of rendering in AE.
This doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, am I missing something that will jump up and bite me later here? I honestly can’t see any stutter in the footage, which is confusing me a bit I have to admit.
Learning. Always.

Thanks, yes, sorry, the footage is 23.976 and the target timelines are 29.97. I referenced “30” and “24” incorrectly.
The reason I ask is because it’s a multicam setup and the other cameras are at 29.97. This one got screwed up and is at 23.97. So I want to get them matched up. All progressive DSLR footage.
I don’t “need” to match the motion perfectly but had just assumed that if I were dropping 23.97 clips into 29.97 sequences in Premiere that things would look a bit choppy, if it was just adding frames to compensate.
Truthfully the issue of pulldown is confusing to me as I thought it was only for interlaced footage. Thanks much for the reply.

The problem is only apparent on computer DVD players. Set-top looks divine. But the problem is not the “my video has artifacts or combing or is jittery” problem. It’s an intermittent “lag” or stutter. Additionally you can’t see any evidence of interlacing in the source or the mpeg when opened in V-Dub Mod or any other mpeg viewer.
