i am having to render my magic bullet looks and core melt plug ins…
sequence settings are set same as footage… -
i’m posting with no advice, but so that i can get updates anytime someone ads to this thread because i am super interested in doing the same for a project coming up

any chance you could walk me thru how to sync compressor and dropbox? i just set up a free account with dropbox… this could be a great option for us
the company has an FTP that i could use but my internet at home is not super fast and it was still taking hours to upload a file… -
“You misunderstand things too. You ALWAYS convert the DSLR H.264 footage to ProRes for editing. You NEVER match back to the original H.264 files for online. No…never. They are not suited for editing, or color correcting.”
So the idea is to convert everything to Proxy, do the edits, and then once you know which clips made the final edit, those are the clips that you would do the full 422 ProRes conversion to?
That is fine, but quite as speedy as I was expecting…
Okay, enough typing… time to watch Shane’s tutorial… -
thanks for the help… i knew that h264 was no good for editing but i thought once all the edits were made you brought the original back in… sorry for misunderstanding… bit aggressive no?

Thanks Shane… I didn’t read the first post before replying… I will for sure give your video a watch… Did you do it using DSLR footage? I used a t2i for the footage and heard there is a necessary hack of some sort to use the Canon EOS plugin… thoughts?

I will give you video a watch… My company paid for the Magic Bullet Suite which included Grinder so I kinda wanted to use it for the money spent I suppose…
I guess my problem with relinking to the ProRes is that would mean that I have to convert the videos to full ProRes and that kinda defeats the purpose of Proxy and saving hard drive space it seems. I thought I could edit with Proxy and then just relink back to the original, not back to ProRes 422…
thanks for the helpIf anyone has used Grinder would still love some help

Okay, so I right clicked on the video line of the proxy edit and did “reconnect media” and pointed it to the original footage. It reconnected and everything lined up perfectly, so that is certainly a good sign, but now the higher res reconnect is much larger in the edit window than the proxy was… I took a photo of the proxy frame edit and then of the reconnected higher res frame and put them on https://www.photobucket.com/thingsforsale
Thanks for any help
