Haven’t actually tried it but if you have the full name of each missing file, duplicate any proxy of the same file type and rename it. Of course that won’t help if you actually need the proxies but it should continue the process.

Craig – can’t help on your primary question but I can tell you I’m editing on a mid-2014 MacBook Pro and it slices 4K like a sharp knife through warm butter. I just have to make sure it’s an edit codec, like ProRes – or that I upgrade it to Pro. I always thought the bigger files would be harder to edit until I tried it. Works fine on my little machine!

I’m also in the process of looking for insight into how an iMac (not Pro) will work with Catalina and Adobe, esp. Premiere Pro.

Thanks and good luck – let me know what you find out!

Pauline – I just read your post about purchasing a 16″ MacBook Pro and Robert Withers reply about using a 2019 iMac. Did you purchase the MacBook Pro – what have you found – or did you purchase an iMac – and what have you found. I’m looking for insight into how an iMac (Not the iMac pro) runs Catalina and Adobe Creative Suite – especially Premiere Pro.

Thanks!

Dennis

Joe – Did you ever find a solution to the issue of Premiere Pro “unrendering” rendered timelines after you rendered, saved, closed, then reopened them? Here is it several years later and I’m having the same problem with PrP v13.1.5 –

Thanks!

I tried that – nothing happened until I clicked on the AEM menubar File > Add Source, and then every video I’ve every edit ed in APP showed up in the right side window!

I deleted what I didn’t need and proceeded. Thanks very much!

Hi Greg, First off, if the client wants good video I would – after your bid is accepted – fight for better camera position. And try to go at least two cameras – a locked wide shot and a moving camera to cover the talkers.

Otherwise while I can’t suggest a specific camera – but having done similar shoots to this – probably thousands of times – as a recovering television journalist, I’d say look for something similar to what newsrooms are using. Something with a good long zoom lens and some weight to the camera, and a good set of sticks to brace it on. A lot of the cameras I’m seeing in production shoots these days are way too light to get the job done. You might also be on – and should be on – a riser to get you over the heads of the audience, so site scout and make sure that thing is solid. Or stay off of it. I’d have redundant audio – your own dependable microphones plus a feed from a professional sound company or, lacking that, taking a chance on the local sound system. I usually found good audio was a bigger problem than good video at these.

If I’m telling you stuff you already know my apologies in advance. Hopefully something here is helpful

Thanks, Michael. I’m getting the distinct impression I would have been better off staying with Final Cut 6 – 7 is too much like Cripple Ware.

I tried one of the square buttons in the upper right corner of the sequence which I read is supposed to link clips – but it certainly doesn’t link audio to video, unless we’re doing something wrong.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Best,

Dennis Dean
