I want to tell you it will work fine, but there were some issues around that in the past and I can’t say for certain what the status is in 2014.2. I can’t get in there and try it myself right now either, so please let me (us) know what your result is fi you get a chance to try it out.

No, in fact it sounds like pretty good idea. This is what nested sequences were designed to do and it should not affect performance at all. It’s still just playing the original sequence, you’re just seeing it contained in a different place. Why do you need to re-cut all the original audio back in at the end? Are there no natural braking points where you can separate all of one sequence from the next?

[Joshua Pearson] “I wish I could shift-select a bunch of timelines and have all the markers show up in the marker panel… or something like that.”
That’s a good feature request. It would have to be selecting sequences from the source and then switching to marker panel since there is not way to make more than one timeline/sequence panel actively selected at once.
Prelude is a tool specifically designed for media logging, including notating clips in context, and those things are respected by prPro upon import. You might try that if you have it available for some additional ways to notate footage while watching it.

You need to clear out all your preferences locally first. Hold shift+alt/opt on launch is a shortcut for that. You might also want to clean (and maybe even delete) your media cache files too.

After that is done, then sync settings back up to the server. That should get you to a clean state, at which point you can start re-customizing setting sand uploading them again. I know that’s not ideal, but hopefully it will resolve your performance problems.Software Quality Assurance – Digital Video at Adobe Systems

I agree with Joseph. Fast Color effect is probably best for now. There way color corrector may give you some help too. You might also have to use procamp, or perhaps levels, to just bring down the whites, but be careful, too much correction can do more harm than good.
In the next version of CC (release date TBA) there are a ton of excellent Lumetri Color tools which will help you do some real color grading work on it if needed.

[Manav Bhathal] “the clip will be stabalized and it will run a few seconds nicely then a few seconds it will not do a flicker (not a zoom in or out rapid jolt i know what those are BUT) a blurry unfocused kind of flicker? what is causing this?”
That sounds like subspace warp doing what it’s supposed to do to offset the camera movement. Try Joe’s suggestion and use a different smoothness method. There are also other options to control how much it will tweak the motion settings. But if you’re not getting a smooth motion by default then that often (but not always) means that there is just too much motion for warn stabilizer to fix without some weird warping, etc…

1. Select the clip you want to color correct
2. Apply three-way color corrector to selected clip
3. Put the playhead over a frame of a different clip with the color you want (by default, this will not de-select the already selected clip, it only changes what you see in the program monitor)
4. Open Effect Controls Panel (which is still showing the effect(s) applied to the clip you selected at step 1)
5. Expand 3-way color effect parameters and use the shadow, mid tones, or highlights eyedropper to pick a color from the frame that’s showing in the program monSoftware Quality Assurance – Digital Video at Adobe Systems

[Neil Gowan] “interested in hearing others’ experience when comparing the performance of ProRes vs. camera-native codecs, regardless of system specs.”
I can usually play them both back ok.
I experience no noticeable performance drop with pro res compared to other codecs. On some of my older systems, I sometimes drop frames with 4k and larger formats, especially if I’ve applied many effects. I workaround that by a) setting my mon. res. down to 1/2 (or lower of needed), b) building render preview files for effects and b) (if needed) render and replace and/pr stranscode to a smaller format.

Are you using JKL key command for playback & scrubbing? Or the mouse + other commands?
Are you transmitting out through and AJA device or other hard are during playback?
What are your monitor (playback/paused) resolution settings? -
I just used the default settings, which are:
Stabilization
Result : Smooth Motion
Smoothness: 50%
Method: Subspace Warp
Preserve Scale: unchecked
Borders
Framing: Stabilize, crop, auto-scale
Auto scale (108.6%)Software Quality Assurance – Digital Video at Adobe Systems
