I wonder what new 2014/15 cameras under $3000 record in Adobe PP CS 5.5-friendly codec?

[Kent Beeson]

thanks for reply – shame as the institution can’t afford to go ADOBE CC

iShowU HD is very good and easy

Thanks Kevin – what I meant was can we do a split on the timeline? I

‘ve got broll shots for 8 seconds so I want audio to go that long then I want the interview to pop up in vision at that 8 second point – so I know how to do a split edit in source window, but can we in timeline?

bit more accurate that way if broll is already in and want to do all in the timeline…is there a way, yet?

[Kent Beeson]

Excellent – that did it – thank you so much…

SO when should a person use Optimize stills if it seems to give false fps?

[Kent Beeson]

Thanks for help

So how to make a black video in AE? I don’t think I did it right

[Kent Beeson]

having said that – yes, when I remove black or title video from timeline and REPLACE it with a random broll shot or anything other than black or nothing, it DOES export at 23.98 – otherwise it’s always a strange fps.

any solutions folks, and Adobe can you fix?

Does this only happen with Pro Res exports? Again my timeline is Pro res HQ and I’m exporting as same….

[Kent Beeson]

Yes I thought that too – I made a black tiff in photoshop and also a black mov file from AE and replaced the PP CC 2014 “black Video” but on export I got everything from 17fps to 22.15…never can get 23.98 pro res HQ – why?

Any other thoughts?

[Kent Beeson]

here’s the import info once I place it back into PP CC 2014. Not good – says there ARE dropped frames. and average fps is 21.48

On the original timeline there is material at 24 fps, one or two film burn effects at 25 fps but most shots are at 23.98 fps…shouldn’t be a problem though right? But the export mov’s are always a strange fps not 23.98

Another wired thing is when I do little exports say of 4 or 5 seconds at random points throughout the timeline, it exports at 23.98!, but not when I choose to export entire sequence.

how to fix as I have one timeline at 1:15 in length the other at 11 minutes and both exports read out as bad fps

helpful stuff – thanks very much
