Tero, I’m curious what your thoughts are on the workflow.
-
Interesting, didn’t know you could do that. I’ll look into it, thanks.
I usually save a backup sequence after each major segment of change – and also keep numbered backups of old versions. -
This thread is a few days old, but for what it’s worth – I find that slipping audio is a very useful way of working. If the audio is just a little bit off, that works well. It also helps keep the clips in line.
To review it on a clip where audio is varying, like you are describing, I usually match frame it from the timeline to the source monitor, and review and mark audio there, and set an in point. Then either set in and out in the timeline and edit just the audio track in, or just slip the audio in the timeline track, once you know where you want to go.

I don’t have 2017 so can’t be of much help there. Keyboard shortcuts (in my case I have option -delete) seem to be working fine here on cs6, as long as the clip to delete is selected.
If your workflow/timeline is set up in such a way that this wouldn’t produce a major headache, you could always do in/out/ extract, and lock the tracks you want to leave in place. -
The sequence is actually more compressed – mostly VOBs and mp4s and so on. So I am exporting to Pro Res as a master.
Regarding Resolve, yes good point, I don’t know Resolve at all. But do have a base of understanding that would allow me to pick it up quickly. But you’re right, it would probably slow this down.
Unless there’s a specific reason to take this project into Resolve, it’s probably best to wait until the next project and then prepare the sequence accordingly.
I do have Speedgrade but have never used it – would it have the same issue with transitions, effects and such?
The color correction needing to be done in this is fairly straightforward – levels correcting, a few color cast corrections. Should be fine in Premiere.Does CS6 use LUTs? I’m guessing, no?

Great, thank you.
As noted before, I know people love Resolve and that seems to be pretty standard. Is there any advantage to going over there now or will it slow me down since the effects and transitions are laid in? I do plan to use that in future projects. This is something that just needs to get finished since it’s behind schedule.
Also, I’ve read that “use previews” can result in a generational loss, is that correct? It seems like it wouldn’t.
Since I’m already in Pro Res render mode, I can just render as I go and use previews to cut export time. Anything I need to know about that, any reason not to do that?
Thanks everyone for responding so quickly. -
Ok thank you
My thinking on the previews was that maybe it would introduce less noise into the file than asking a compressed file to export, use an effect, and color correct in one go while exporting.
NOt sure if this is correct though.
Resolve looks really interesting. I am trying to keep things as simple as possible but people seem to really like it so I will look into that, if that’s the best way.
Is there an advantage to one method over the other? -
Thanks Chris
Sorry it took me awhile to post back
I am testing these right now. -
The progressive (previously deinterlaced by someone else) footage is 29.97, being added into a timeline is 29.97 interlaced. Pretty much all SD, with the majority of clips being 29.97 interlaced.
I’m not clear whether they need to be
adjusted in “interpret footage,”
flagged as “always deinterlace” in field options (will this further degrade the clip?), or
nested in from another sequence.
A workflow has also been suggested with different timelines.The timeline appears to be “interlacing” progressive clips.
On a related note, the edit cuts are made (so I don’t want to have to recut these clips), but I’m noticing that “interpret footage” does not seem to update in the timeline, even when pasted into a new timeline.

question has evolved, so I started a new thread =)
