The only thing I have with Tahoe is that my shortcuts for NAS locations on the sidebar do not work. I used to click a sidebar shortcut in Finder, and it would connect to the server-NAS, but it doesn’t do this automatic connection anymore. First, I have to type the address and connect to the server, then it works. It is not a big problem, but this…

Hi,

You should select the Show Hidden Clips option from the Clip Appearance menu.

We should try to shape the future of technology together as people working in the industry.

I will try to give it a shot and share my comments. Thanks.

Hi,

I am trying to recreate the scene, but I don’t see any problems. Could there be another keyframe affecting the other keyframes?

Honestly, as someone who’s always open to technological innovations, I’m not entirely sure what to say about this. Recently, I made a video for someone I’d worked with before – someone incompetent who only directs for pleasure because he’s rich – and because he couldn’t comment on it himself, he uploaded the video to Chat GPT and sent the com…

Hi,

I have been using Tahoe and Premiere 24-25-26 for months on different machines, and I haven’t come up with any problems related to Tahoe.

What I am having with MTS files from Sony camcorders is a little different. It was not like this before, but for the last year and a half, when I use MTS files directly, I have been having super slow performance issues, and it is fixed after I transcode them inside FCP. Probably with the latest updates of FCP and maybe macOS, it is getting harder…

No luck. This time original plays perfectly, but rewrapped to MP4 plays with artifacts, and also I tried to rewrap to mov and it lost the sound and plays awfully.

Maybe some digital problems occurred during the transfer. If you can try sending via something like WeTransfer, I can check it again to understand.

Hi,

I downloaded and tested, but it does not look good here. Even the original or the rewrapped version played awfully on my machine. I have no idea. It plays well on QuickTime Player and VLC.

Hi,

Just wandering, did you make the timeline setting the same as the video clip?

And the FCP viewer may not show correctly all the time on the computer screen, especially if it is not fit to 100% and Better Quality is selected.

And can you try an export to see if the exported master seems bad, too?

Hi,

Yes I guess this seems like an HDR footage, SDR export problem. If this is the case you can watch this video for help.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3y1CWC1H-U

If it doesn’t work in Premiere, Media Encoder won’t help either.

Not sure if this helps, but you may try VLC to convert videos and then import those new videos into Premiere.

I don’t think they’ll use all of Motion VFX products, at least not initially. They’ll likely be added gradually, so they can tell new customers they are adding new functions.

Time will tell how other manufacturers will react and what changes they will make to their products.

There are many options out there when you right-click an external drive, as there are when you right-click any folder or file. Showing you many options you can choose.

At least it doesn’t automatically start erasing your disk, opening a new window. I prefer to use ”Command-E” to eject my drives, much safer.

If your videos are recorded in HDR, you can edit them in HDR, but if you have SDR footage, I don’t see the point of converting them to HDR or working in HDR with SDR footage.

Can you give more info on your intent?

In my opinion, Apple’s acquisition of Motion VFX can be seen as a continuation of the policy it began implementing with Creator Studio. With this acquisition, Apple has once again demonstrated its long-term goal of targeting not only pro users but also, as it has long done, social media-focused users. By offering subscription-based planning and…

Hi,

If you search for OpenCore Legacy Patcher and have a little bit of knowledge of installing systems, you can use a newer macOS version and use FCPX.

This doesn’t allow you to go to the latest version and all the features, but you can use most of the features of FCP. Don’t go to the latest version of macOS. It may break your system. It will help…

I am on the latest versions of FCP and Mac Os on different machines, including M1, M2, M3 Mac Studio, and MacBook Pros M2-M4, no problem at all.

You add keywords to a project. That is how it works. If you are struggling to find the project in browser in complex libraries, you can use ”Reveal Project in Browser” command to easily find it on timeline.

Not directly, though you can find stock templates from stock sites and use one of those to create that kind of slideshow.

This is a new branding operation.

They want to streamline the naming similarity between all their brands. No other software has Pro, like Photoshop, After Effects, etc.

They added Pro to Creative Cloud. Now it is Creative Cloud Pro. It became Pro with AI support.

Thanks, checking it now, and I will try to use it as soon as I have time.

Hi, this is great news, thanks. Is it possible that you can show us a sample workflow, or is there anywhere that we can watch a tutorial about it? How to format the text files, etc.

Well, yes, unfortunately, there is no way to avoid that.

Adding a sequence marker may help to find the frame you want to extend.

Good news for now. We will see what the future will bring.

So, anybody on the design of new icons? Can we retain the old icons with our existing licenses?

So I have a video here to clarify what is needed. I drag-select the edit point with the command key. Playhead moves to the selected edit point, and I can drag the cursor to the time that I want to extend, and I can extend with a keystroke or by dragging the edit point. I can do a regular drag or ripple extend. Does this workflow work, or is it…

Well, yes, an era is definitely over. At least it gives the option to share with 5 family members.

At least it’s some consolation.

Hi,

Depending on your machine and version of FCP, do you see these options under the retime menus?

If you can see these options, try them; if not, you should check the quality after rendering and setting the viewer at 100%

Hi,

If you have this option selected, as mine, FCP will analyze and decide which channels to show. Some cameras record 8 channels of audio, but only 1 or 2 channels are recorded. If you set the stereo on the camera, the first 2 channels will be recorded, and the other 6 will be empty, and FCP won’t show them as there is nothing on those channels.…

Hi,

I wish there were an easy way to remove those markers. If they are in a different shade of a green than the green box, it could be removed with keying. However, the most effective way is to track and remove afterwards. If you can use Mocha, it is very effective.

There will always be a compression if your goal is to decrease the size. Exporting to MP4 with the

H. 264 codec for greater compatibility at a bitrate of 40 Mbps would be sufficient quality for use on 4K screens.

Hi,

Not exactly an answer to your question, but as a long-time Mac user, I just wonder why you need to use an anti-virus on a Mac.

Maybe downloading pirated software may cause some malware harm, but otherwise, I don’t think there is a need to use anti-virus software on a Mac.

No, it is not on the drive, I mean the adapter, this one.

This little guy can convert 110 or 220 input to 12V. You should check what is written on this.

Hi,

I think you should check the power adapter of your HD. If it shows 110-240V input, you can use it.

Hi,

Can you give us the details of your sequence settings, and if possible, can you attach the exported video, a screen grab, maybe?

Hi, you can follow this video.

40 MBps would be good for a 4K video.

That’s all good, no problems here.

The only thing is, you don’t have to export it in ProRes, use H264 that’s more than enough.

For the sound quality, you set up your timeline 48Khz, that’s all you need. All good.

<font face=”inherit”>The most important thing about the picture quality is, you should use bigger images if you can. Your timeline is…

Hi Eddie,

Can you give me more details on what you need? You have an image during the song, and what do you need? Animating the image?

Hi,

The first thing that comes to my mind is that the bitrate of the video is too high for the telephone to play back smoothly. Could you try with a smaller bitrate? And what bitrate settings did you use?

Hi, sorry for this. A terrible issue.

I just wonder how it wiped the project file and auto save files. Does it say ‘corrupt’ for the project file or something else? And did you check the places where auto-save could be located? Normally, there are 3 default places (Even this shows how badly Premiere is built for stability), one is the documents…

It seems all good here. New or old projects, no problems so far.

The only thing is, I am not sure about this glassy, glossy design. It feels as if it is the first days of user interface designs, not old but ugly, primitive design, that’s what makes me feel.

Does OMF work for you? We try exporting OMF when we have problems with AAF.

Hi,

I don’t know if this is the reason, but I never click the two options under Enable. Render audio and include clip…

I don’t think these 2 options are necessary for audio work. You may try deselecting those two and see if it helps.

And maybe instead of collecting all the audio, you may choose to trim audio files with a 50-frame handle.

Yes, as Jeremy mentioned, you can change the location to an external drive. Just select your library and change the location in the inspector.

And honestly, that slowdown issue when you put everything in the library is a myth.

This is another folder at the end of the day. The main factor for slowness is the computer’s power and the hard drive speed,…

Hi,

Yes, of course you can do that. You need to consolidate your media.

First, select your library and from the File Menu choose Consolidate Media. It will copy all the media from anywhere on your hard drives or network drives into the FCP Library.

Hi,

Not exactly the same one, but I have a similar problem too. Sometimes when I set my In and Out points in the timeline, it does not show the correct duration. I change the In or Out point to see if it changes, but no luck. Only after I double-click a clip or go to another sequence and come back to the one I was working on then it becomes normal.…

No, I don’t think there is a built-in way in Premiere to do this. Only when you use the Simplify menu, you choose to remove the disabled. And the Excalibur plug-in lets you do this, as far as I can remember
