Thanks for your reply, but grouping the clips, does not allow me to preview them as one clip in the source window…

Transcoding them as one clip is of course an opportunity, but my mission is to find a more efficient way to work, and unfortunately, transcoding them is clearly moving in the opposite direction.

But thanks anyway 🙂

Yes, it is 16-235 in both PAL and NTSC. BUT, that is the final product.

My question is, which levels is expected for the untranscoded source files (HD and SD)? This is NOT always 16-235… Like I previously stated, for example Quicktime DV PAL should be 0-255 to become properly encoded MPEG2 in Encore…

The easiest is using Adobe Media Encoder or similar programs like Sorenson Squeeze 🙂

I just tested your idea. In the end it worked, but first after alot of fighting:

When I’m about to relink from the 576i25 to the 1080i25, I find the 1080-folder and the corresponding file with the same name, except the ending .MXF instead of .AVI.

Unfortunately, this ending seems to make trouble, Premiere refuses me to select the 1080 file, but instead automatically opens the folder with the SD-file when i click SELECT.

This happens three times, the fourth time i click select on the 1080 file it finally works. Weird…!

So, this looks like a work-around method, but isn’t there a more common way to work offline that’s more safe and stabil?

Thanks for answering.
I’m unsure about one more thing:

When I’m gonna relink the SD clips to their corresponding HD clips, do they HAVE TO have the exact same name?

If so is the case, I have a problem: When I transcode to SD, all the SD files gets a .new ending. Is this a problem when relinking? (the HD and the SD have slightly different names) Is is some way to inactivate this change off name?

Thanks, good to hear

I’m not 100% sure which version of Xpress but I believe it’s the DV version. I know it doesn’t support HD!

The HD source material is from P2.

Is this right?:
This method will not work with 720p50 material, because it doesn’t correspond to 50i? (like 1080i50 and 576i50)

Hi

You said:
“Don’t use the proxies, edit with the native AVC-I in whatever timeline you want ( you could use ProRes proxy for a timeline codec to keep render times down)”

What exactly is a “timeline codec”? (the basic explanation)

Does it mean that FCP has to render the AVC-I material to preview files (ProRes proxy) with a different codec on the fly?

I’m just a bit confused 🙂

Yes, I see what you mean, and I also believe you can make this effect “step-by-step” like that. But since I’ve seen this effect being used in almost all snowboardfilm-trailers (usually 16mm films), and tons of other places, I’ve almost sure there must by an easier and more standarized way to do it. Anyone know anything?
