So far my observation on Premiere CC project manage

1. About half the time, on my main project packed with unused media and all, i get these ridiculously oversized media manages even if i click ”excluse unused” and uncheck all the other sequences. So far my ”trick” has been to open a new project and import the finished sequences – and then project manage from there.

2.Clips containing speed differences will have errors or different issues when project managed. If you play them backward, fastforward or slowmo – not very reliable. Usually i had to manually export that part, and re-integrate it in the media managed.

technically looks good. You tried using prores,DNxHD or P2 – perhaps an intermediate codec would run better, but i cant vouch for it..

Not always like this but

Acquisition of footage either

a)our own film crew comes in with(H264 when filmed out of studio, 422 LT when filmed in a studio via an AJA kipro), or we buy a show from a production house which usually send it in Prores422

– If H264, we convert to 422 LT into Facilis Terrablock(which is a real pain in the butt for the 6months i have been there, as a side note)

– Offline&Online edit on various Macpros from circa 2009-2010, Blackmagic decklink SDI cards.

– Telestream vantage on terrablock; one compression (mpeg1) gets sent to corporate who approves. Once approved, a homemade MXF compression(i would have to see what it is again, but its heavy compression)
gets sent to our Live studios, which sends it to cable companies.

– We backup the finished shows on external drives, and eventually to LTO5.

Our question was mainly the h264 –> 422LT conversion; it does an OK job, but we wondered if we could make it better using P2, DNxHD, OP1-mxf, etc. instead of 422LT for premiere CC
