ok, thanks!

Yikes, $299 bucks! I think I’ll do it by ear for now.
Andrew, I’m talking about syncing a video with (poor sounding) audio to an audio track from a digital voice recorder. Does that work the same as syncing multiple camera sources? -
Oh, ok. He’s AE. I know I’ve seen him around for years. Sorry, Dave! Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll get the hang of Premiere Pro. Eventually 😉

Thanks, Alex. I’m shocked that Dave didn’t know that!

Thanks, Dave. Doesn’t seem to negate the point of the select forward tool? It’s easier to click to the right of the tracks and drag to the left and select all the clips than to have to lock all the other tracks, then choose the select forward tool. Or am I misunderstanding what you mean by deactivating the unwanted tracks?

Starsky & Hutch, season 3, right!?! 😉
Don’t worry, I’m not that much of a noob. I’ve heard the word lossy before. But I appreciate you worrying about my mental well being 🙂
Like I said, right now PPro is behaving wonderfully with my new workflow, but I know these things are relative and it won’t be long before even this seems laggy to me. My only complaint is I have to play the timeline at 1/4 resolution which makes it look like crap, hard to discern if the changes I’m making look good. But even the two z800’s froze up when I tried to play at full resolution, so…

I’ve only just started transcoding to DNxHD from h264. To my eyes, which are very bad, I see no degradation, no banding, etc. In fact if I open the transcoded file in the program monitor and the original .MOV file in the source monitor I see absolutely no difference. There’s a big difference, however, in how smoothly the file plays when scrubbing the timeline, or just letting it play while I tweak it, so this is a godsend for me, since it’s become obvious to me that a $700.00 workstation is no better, and in most cases much worse, than a consumer PC, and I don’t have the money, or the need, for a $2,000.00 workstation.

No, not you, David, I meant Dave LaRonde. I knew there was gonna be trouble commenting to two different guys name Dave 😉

Yeah, I know. I spend more time trying to find the least expensive way around h264 than I’ve spent trying to find a workstation. But that’s a valuable piece of info you gave me about transcoding to a better codec NOT degrading the file.
Again, as I always do, I extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you professionals who take the time to answer the questions of people like myself.

Thanks, guys. You can’t always believe what you read on the internet so I appreciate you confirming what I had read.
David, like I said, it’s a codec that came with Premiere Pro. Since I never used it before I don’t know how long it’s been included.
Dave, you’re probably not aware of my situation, but I’m just an amateur, I don’t have a workstation, I use a consumer PC. I had read where h264 makes Premiere Pro work harder because of its compression so I looked into transcoding to an uncompressed codec to make timeline scrubbing and real time playback a bit smoother. I’m sure the setups you guys use, h264 is nothing. Anyway, that’s why I asked.
Thanks again!
