Hi all and Brooks.

Yes, we know that Speedgrade needs more integration work that Adobe is known for. We had just a few months from acquiring Iridas to actually shipping CS6 so quite frankly, we’re all amazed at how much work the engineers actually got done. Stay tuned for the future, I’m sure we’ll have a deeply integrated workflow at some point.

‘ctrl+~’ is your best friend on a single monitor system (like a laptop)
Prelude is definitely a cool tool, but if you want to batch process try AME with the Pro Res presets https://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5411

If you need audio in MPEG, then try Quicktime as the format in Premiere Pro which will give you some other audio export options.

Try cleaning out your media cache. Alternately, try trashing your prefs on Premiere Pro and finally, open up another project and see if you’re having the problem with all projects or just the one.

[Sharon Katz] “Adobe Premiere would be better for these formats for sure, but I like the way FCP let’s me scale canvas elements. To do that and edit both with Adobe I have to bounce between After Effects and Premiere. FCP isn’t ideal, I totally agree, but it’s a good working space.”

Sharon – you can scale directly in Premiere Pro’s program window and of course the effects control panel in Premiere Pro is identical to After Effects. Finally, Premiere Pro has the best scaling algorithm of the three (FCP, PPro, AE).

You might give it a try but of course, good luck with whatever you choose to do.

Best,

The thing I might try is to use VLC player and then look carefully at the ones that are working and compare the settings/information to the ones that are not. There was two types of DV codecs (type 1 & 2) but in addition, there are some 24p type codecs (panasonic), etc.

Honestly, the other thing might be that some of the files are indeed corrupt.

Jan,

You might download and install these and then export at least will be easier. Building sequences for ProRes is probably easiest by dropping a ProRes clip into a Premiere Pro sequence and then allowing Premiere Pro to change the settings to match the clip.

I’m going to guess that you’re capturing uncompressed or QT wrapped DNxHD as Premiere Pro does not playback MXF DNxHD in CS6.

In either case, you’d have to make your own preset as there are not built in presets for this kind of material. It’s pretty easy to do though.

[Dennis Radeke]

As Avid’s DNxHD codec is proprietary it cannot be read by programs in it’s native MXF format unless the software has a license to decode/encode it. CS6 does not have a license to DNxHD so it must go through QT in order to read it with the Avid LE codecs pack which is free.

Hope this helps,
Dennis

[Ben Edwards] “I was also told by Adobe that DNxHD is a 32 codec, the Abode guy said he likes XDCAM.”

I might be the Adobe guy and for clarity sake, I’m speaking of DNxHD in a QT wrapper is a 32-bit process. Currently, Premiere Pro does not natively support Avid MXF files (DNxHD in an MXF wrapper).

Michael pretty much hit it on the head. We’ve gotten this request post CS6 and we’re logging it as a feature request.

You can create a watch folder with your convert preset and then drag the media to that folder. From there, it should churn away at the files and then you should be able to replace them in fairly short order.

Hope this helps,
