We do a large quantity of DVD authoring (2000 DVD masters a year) being an event production business and work flow is crucial. We’ve done that, baked the TL out of FCP and then brought it into Premiere & Encoder. Just trying to find a way to keep the Chapter markers from FCP, hence the XML. Ideally, I’d like to use Compressor out of FCP because of the cluster and work flow, then use Encore for the BD authoring, but as far as I can tell, Chapter Markers can’t be imported. Trying to figure out a way to get a Encore project set up with quick encoding “dummy” encodes that have Chapter markers and just replace them with the Compressor Encodes.

Thanks for the Link. Secondaries? Damn I’m never gonna leave the office now. Jeremy, Didn’t mean to come down hard on you for the Ref Movie Idea. I don’t post here often, but I read of ton of posts and yours usually are the ones I try out first.

Thanks for the 3rd party CC Idea. So Colorista in FCP will act the same in Premiere via XML?

I had a Adobe rep tell me on the premiere forum that 5.5 is better, not right though. But hey, he was honest, got to give him props for that.

If I render the timeline first, haven’t I just created a render file of the same size. I guess that’s what has always bugged me about reference files, if you use any filters, then you might as will make it self contained. Now if you can get me some shooters who don’t need a little help with filters I’d be set.
I do like the Colorista idea.

I’ve never been a fan of Ref files, but if I have a 3way CC on all the clips, won’t that create file the same size as a non-Ref file?

That sounds cool about opening the project in Premiere, but not sure that will fix my Color Corrector Issue.

Appreciate the honesty, I really do being a FCP User with FCPX scaring the crap out of us.

Really John, that’s the easy way out. Just kidding, our issue is work flow. Any given week we may produce over 50 finished DVD (1-2 Hours each) since we are an event production company. I’d really would like to not have to export out of FCP and take those files into Premiere. I understand that method would work, but that would effectively double our file size on the raid. I know it may come to that though. Ideally, I’d like to leave Premiere out of it all together and encode H.264 for BR in Compressor and use those files in Encore, but we are have tons of Chapter Marker issues with that method.

Yeah, I get ya there. I’ll hold my FCPX screaming til this fall and see how many of the Apple promises come true once the are selling a product and not a beta. Just noticed you’re in Iowa, I grew up north of Pella.
