Won’t work.
Group clips in Avid won’t translate to Premiere Multicam Sequences.

Another option, other than re-syncing everything would be downloading Avid and using that. You can use the trial for 30 days, I believe. Then you don’t need an AAF at all.

Without getting into the technical reasons why, the H.264 original would be a much smaller file size than the Apple ProRes 422 or LT copy.

Make sure you are in a multitrack sequence. If you are in a stereo sequence, copy all the clips in your sequence to a new empty multitrack sequence. A Stereo sequence cannot be converted into a multitrack sequence.
In the Audio Track Mixer, change the number of output channels to 12.
Change the panning of all tracks so they alternate left and right.
Change the routing so that Tracks 1 and 2 are going to the channels 1-2, Tracks 3-4 go to channels 3-4, etc.
When this is fully set up, select Export Media.
Change the export setting to Waveform Audio
In the audio pane, select 48k 24 bit, then change the audio output routing to match your sequence outputs.
In the checkbox near the bottom, select to have each channel output to a separate file.

Hope that helps.

If you don’t understand something, go to the section in Premiere help on how to use the Track Mixer (this is where most people get tripped up).

With that setup you would need to have the ability to monitor 10 individual tracks (10 faders on a mixer, 10 speakers and an output card that could do that). However, if you click the icon on the master fader in the track mixer that looks like a bow tie, that will temporarily mix down everything to channel 1 and 2 and you will be able to hear everything.

Megabits per second. Some other programs may just refer to it as megabits as kind of shorthand, but that’s what they are referring to.

Don’t click the Discrete button when you encode. That makes all the audio tracks have no track name metadata. That’s basically the only difference from leaving it at the default setting. This is buried in the manual someplace as if it were not important.

You can’t fix the metadata in on an already encoded file in Premiere. You can do that in QuickTime 7 Pro Player if you still have it.

[John Pale]

Yeah, you’ve exceeded the maximum amount of tracks. Pretty self explanatory.
You are going to have simplify the ProTools session to work with this in Avid.

Tiff is just fine. Make sure they are of sufficient resolution. If you are doing zooms and moves on them, at least twice the resolution of your editing timeline would be ideal. DPI doesn’t matter.

I haven’t needed to do this in a long time, but you can add chapter markers and burn to BluRay using Apple Compressor. I think it’s still only 50 bucks. Just export Apple Pro Res out of Premiere and take that into Compressor.

Might be your graphics card overheating.
Try switching rendering to Mercury Engine Software Only in the drop down menu in the encoding window.
