Two years later and I’m about to follow this advice. I’m worried about audio sync problems. Should I lay those worries to rest?

On closer inspection, my Adobe Applications Manager IS installing Premiere Pro CS6 on my MacPro. Photoshop and Bridge are CC; After Effects and SpeedGrade are CS6 versions. Not sure what’s up with that since I thought I was signed up for the CC trial software.

Thanks, Kevin. On closer inspection, my Adobe Applications Manager IS installing Premiere Pro CS6. Photoshop and Bridge are CC; After Effects and SpeedGrade are CS6 versions. Not sure what’s up with that since I thought I was signed up for the CC trial software.

I’ll add some confusion. I downloaded the Premiere Pro CC trial software on both my MacBook Pro laptop and my MacPro desktop system.
There is no collapse-expand twirly on my MacBook Pro laptop, but it’s there on my MacPro desktop system. Conversely, there’s no “wrench” button on my desktop system software, but it’s there on my laptop.
Another discrepancy involves Lumetri Looks, which is there under the “Effects” tab on my laptop system, but is absent on my desktop system.
I’m puzzled as to why the same software, downloaded on two different systems, would function differently, but I’m brand new at this, so maybe there’s a reason I haven’t figured out yet.

My MacPro desktop system software doesn’t have the wrench or the Lumetri Looks. Those appear only on my MacBook Pro laptop.
I’m still trying to understand why the same software appears differently on different computers. That seems to defeat the transportability advantage that cloud-based software should have. I’d like to be able to work on projects either at my office with the big, fancy speakers and monitors, or on my laptop while sipping coffee at Starbucks — and it would be helpful if the software was identical in either situation!

Thanks, Ann – so the only way to access keyframes on my laptop is to resize the track? And is there an alternate way to jump from keyframe to keyframe without the control that is revealed under the collapse-expand twirl down?
Also, do you know why the collapse-expand twirly appears on my MacPro but not on my MacBook Pro? It’s kind of hard to follow tutorials when my software is behaving differently! For example, Lumetri Looks appear under the Effects tab on my laptop computer, but not on my desktop computer.

Evan:
I’ve tried this, but the video that is displayed in the Log and Capture window as well as what’s captured is gobble-de-gook. I also get a flashing Stop button on the 1200 deck, and the Kona’s Genlock is an angry red. That’s why I figured I needed a different sync generator.
The Kona indicates that it’s getting 1080sf23.98, so it’s happy with that, but the sync reference still seems to be an issue.
I wish I had time to wait for you to get your LH, but I have to move on with this project. I’d still appreciate hearing from you with anything you learn once you get your new hardware.
Thanks for your suggestions, and if you think of anything else, let me know!

Evan, thanks for this suggestion, but I tried this yesterday with no success.
I’m guessing you need a tri-sync generator as reference to do this? If not, maybe I still have a setting wrong somewhere.

The producer plans to broadcast this AND go out to film. Everyone I’ve talked to said it’s easier to edit on a 23.98 timeline and then add pulldown to make a broadcast master.
But hey, the more research I do, the dumber I feel, so I’m still open to wise advice!

Peter:
Not to beat a dead horse, but I’m still confused as to why disabling the “Keep Keyframe Time” button solved my problem.
I was careful to make sure that tracks were extended all the way to the end of the timeline, and I was able to preview the entire effect in the RED timeline. It was only when the clip was rendered in FCP that the video went to black.
Anyway, my problem is solved for now, thanks to you, and I got the project out by deadline!
