    Santanu. Not to continue the off topic, but yeah I agree. The “New” people aren’t required to develop the skills we did.

    Hmmm. Sounds exactly like what I heard coming into the industry toward the end of the film era about video. I’m sure the new Film guys heard that, and the digital people will hear in a couple years.

    Adapt or die, right?😀

    Even without the clapper you may be able to find something, like an object set down, or a first word start, that will get you started with sync. Often the hard part is find the corresponding files. Unless they always roll and stop both consistently, the count gets out of sync.

    If the timecode was running time of day you MAY be able to find the offset between the 2 for all files. ( a lot of variables there but it’s worth checking.)

    On a separate note, I was viewing some Broll material with the producer when we played a source clip and the DP made a comment about the producer. I never got audio on clips after that from that DP. And I’ve been in several edits involving what you are describing. Sorry.

    Timecode seems to be a lost art.😀 I hope it works out for you.

    No, I always work in the oldest version of Premiere that does what I need. Because I interface with many different systems, I’ve found this the best practice for me.

    Once a project is opened (and Saved) in a newer version it cannot be opened in the older version.

    Adobe is smart enough to tell you it is changing the version as you open it and saves it as the new version, leaving the old one intact. Any changes made to the new version cannot be opened in the old version.

    Photoshop allows you to save projects that are compatible with older versions of photoshop. Not premiere.

  • OK. It’s been a couple years. Does Adobe read this? I have submitted this feature request.

    <font face=”inherit”>I’m a freelance editor who constantly runs in to this. And the standard “Work around it by jumping through hoops” is not always possible or </font>practical<font face=”inherit”>.</font>

    It seems simple. You KNOW this project is missing filter. You KNOW the name of the filter. You clearly know where it is. Why not a find function? Why not a new color badge? Simple Data management.

    Of course, I just edit for living. Not write software. 🙂

    No after effects involved. I just used the title tool to make the title in premiere.

    So I guess my answer would be “I don’t know.” It sound like you have an idea.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks.

    I do have to agree with you the vast majority of the time. Many things in this product occaisionally SEEMS to be designed by people with no actual editing experience. (Why can’t I make alternate versions of the same timeline with nests without changing both versions? In a professional environment, I need that every day).

    This is my first try with essential graphics and it seems to address your point perfectly. Make a title on the timeline, copy and past it, change the second one and the first remains unchanged. It doesn’t seem to make media. No duplicating the clip, renaming it, editing it then dropping it back in the timeline. This is a good thing.

    Now if it would just output correctly….

    For anyone stumbling across this in the future. ..

    The fix for me was to not import the file directly into After Effects, but to create a C4D project first and import it into that.

    That worked perfectly.

    This looks good. Thanks for the note about sequences. That will be very useful knowledge, if I can remember it when I need it. ????
