I am not familiar with avid or FCP but they are the professional standards. Premiere is fine if you are doing stuff in-house but if you need to use post houses or you need your files to talk to other programs then from my experience premiere is not up to the job.

Ill be going Final Cut Pro for my next project (multi camera shoot of a play for DVD) but will check the nesting/EDL issue carefully first though.

Good luck with your project.

Best wishes

Hi Fedor,

The EDL we made was useless in the end but I did manage to get the OMFs out of the computer.

It was painful but sucessful.

1. Made sure all the audio was stereo and WAV – made the audio timeline as simple as possible.
2. Unlinked all the video from the audio and deleted the video
3. split the project into 5 – 10 minute chunks and exported to OMF seperately

Sometimes it worked sometimes it didn’t – took hours, was up for several nights, caught up on ‘the apprentice’ online though.

lesson in it for me is that if you need to make EDLs with nested sequences or OMFs for complex projects get final cut or avid and save yourself a headache.

Best wishes with your project

Hi Joe

Thanks for your response.

I presumed that procoder would convert the 25 frames per second into 30frames while still fitting it within the second. Looks like thats just not right.

I called a guy about Lemony and unfortunately its well outside out budget although it looked like a great product. Theres a chap here making new timecodes for the subtitles at the moment. So we lose a week but will be a bit wiser for next time.

Best wishes,
Gordon

Hi Vince,

Thanks a lot for taking the time to write.

Yeh I have saved the file since nesting,its been quite a long editing process.

Your work around is a clever one but I cant use it on this project as the nesting was arranged for the multicam view. Ill try to attach an image of what I mean.

For the multi cam view you arrange all your camera angles in one sequence drag it into another and then you can select between them easily in real time. Very handy feature but it does create this problem. Also part of the editing process has been to move clips here and there, play with time a bit and so on so it doesnt really match up in a linear way with the source sequence any more.

Im beginning to think I may be up the creek with this one…

I havnt been able to find any unnesting command in premiere on any forums etc.

Ho hum…

Hey there,

I have only been able to get good slow motion shots since learning after effects. It has the capacity to make extra frames between actual video frames to get the smooth mothion you are after. The effect is called pixel motion. Here is a link to an excellent tutorial.

Hi,

The audio track your clip is placed on needs to be selected by clicking on that track to the left of the timeline. Once it is selected open the multi cam viewer winndow and it should work.

Good luck,
