You can only make Multiple adjustments to clips under the playhead. Using the copy/paste method that Cody pointed out is your best solution.

June 29, 2011 at 4:52 am in reply to: Blu Ray Dub From FC Output

That’s because your raw material runs at ProRes LT sizes (approx 100mb/s or about 1 gig a minute) but for BluRay, you’re working in an MPEG2 or an MPEG4 (h.264) file – which can get 10 or 20x the compression. So 20 to about 1.5 sounds right.

You could let it be ‘less’ compressed than it is by setting the Blu Ray compression to be ‘less’ compressed (up to a point.) Also, at that size, you could trying burning to a standard DVD-5 – and it may work on some BluRay players (this is called an AVCHD-Disc)

Works fine, but pay attention to this apple technote – after installing, RUN MOTION 4 before re-running FCP.

I had to build one in motion. I’ll see what I can do to publish it here on the cow (or on my own website) with instructions on how to implement it.

June 29, 2011 at 3:21 am in reply to: The best codec to use in Premiere?

Cineform or (free) DNxHD – avid’s parallel to ProRes. Free and encodes/decodes at similar data rates to ProRes. Even handles an alpha channel.

But pay? Cineform 100%

Oh, I think a 3-4 person SAN would be perfect. You, an assistant, and someone else as you need….

But I think the people you want to give that feedback to is Avid or Editshare. 😀

That started in V.5.

In V.2 (which I don’t have anymore) You need to know what kind of footage you have….so we can tell you what kind of sequence to create. V5.5. (current) works a whole tons better. 😀

June 27, 2011 at 3:07 pm in reply to: What’s AVCHD like to work with these days?

Phil – well, FCPX does it in the background – and only optionally- if you want it.

FCP7? Most people are using MPEG Streamclip and it is faster than RT – but specifics are based on the system. It might make sense to find a camera that you can attach an AJA KI to – as it records directly into prores – truly a fast workflow.

June 27, 2011 at 3:05 pm in reply to: Exporting P2 Footage

That’s a harder question. And I don’t have a straight answer – because Premiere Pro is doing such a great job handling the native format. I don’t have a direct answer, merely some thoughts.

Thought 1
Since we’re dealing with P2 media – you’re backing that up anyway. If it’s all on one drive, and Premiere Pro manages to link to that, then loading up your sequence is as simple as grabbing the project and pointing it at the P2 cards.

Thought 2
You could project manage the media on another HD – and you’d have everything (you could even delete what you didn’t use.) Now you’re no longer dependent on the P2 media (haven’t tried this with p2 yet) – and I’m not sure what flavor the managed media would show up as.

Thought 3
Since we’re not able to rewrap into QuickTime – since there is no QuickTime DVCProHD component, our options are to (mostly) transcode; CIneform is an excellent codec (you have to pay to encode, free to decode) – but so is DNxHD – Avid’s codec; and it doesn’t require paying anyone. Of course, you could do uncompressed (but nobody really wants to handle such.)

Best,

Jeff G
