  • Sounds great.

    Please do come back and share the Feature Doc when it is in general release.

    And, between that there will always be people here on the COW happy to answer questions.

    August 6, 2024 at 7:59 pm in reply to: AAF Error Message

    Hey Robert,

    In theory a WAV file can be a “container” like an MPeg or MXF file.

    If you can hear it inside Premiere Pro, and export it out via the PPro encoder, then it is fair to assumen that it is not a “codec missing” issue.

    In which case I would suspect that it might be to do with being AAF compliant. Which could be anything from bit-rate to effects included.
    Maybe export just the first 3 wave files on the error list to PPro max quality Wavefiles, and replace those in your Sequence (Obviously a test sequence). Just to see if that fixes the problem?

    You could also run through this list of advice from Adobe, although not that extensive in explenations:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/premiere-pro/using/export-aaf-files.html

    Should add, that you might want to ask the Audio engineer who will take the project from you, if any exist, as they might have experienced it too and can give you insights on how to fix it.

    Hope that this helps?

    August 6, 2024 at 7:43 pm in reply to: 23.98 to 25 fps

    Hey Eric,

    Sorry, it sounds like a real big mess.

    Why, or more, how did your Sequence end up as 23.98 fps?
    Is that the intended master-format?
    Hopefully, it is 23.97 fps?

    What is the frame-size of your rushes (6K, 4K, 2K?), and the exported master?
    Was it shot in Progressive, or have you set the sequence up to be progressive?

    Two suggestions to try:
    Export clean master High Quality of the 23.98 fps sequence – no graphics and no animations on it.
    Put through Media Encoder, and export to 25fps High Quality file, and see what happens?

    The other is to copy your edits in to a 25 fps interlaced Sequence, and see how that reacts?

    As you suggest, the most important part is to keep the smoothness of the camera movement.

    And, then there is the potential of audio that needs to match?

    Good news is that since PAL v NTSC, a lot of science has gone into making the perfect frame-rate conversions between the two. So this can be fixed.

    Hope that this helps?

  • Hey Ian,

    What script is this, where did you get it from and where are you running it within Preliere Pro?

    You can do scripting in Premiere Pro, but it is not as easy to do as in After Effects.
    There is a bunch of very clever people here who knows it:

    https://creativecow.net/forums/forum/adobe-after-effects-expressions/

    One comment on your screen shot, is that it is a very small video frame to start with.
    Would be interested to know what application that you’ll be using it for?

    Hey Mark,

    I wonder why they rolled forward in the first place?
    Was it new features, or something else?

    Just being curious.

    Hey Mark,

    Just picking up out of curiosity:

    Did Frame.io get back to you this time, or is the service still “coming and going” with regard to stability?

  • Hey Sarah,

    No problem at all. Sounds great!

    Not that I should advice on it, but you’ll find that several online retailers will run the same promotion.
    Including directly from Samsung UK, you can get the T7 2TB (Balck or Blue) for 135.
    https://www.samsung.com/uk/memory-storage/portable-ssd/

    Although you’ll still need the storage to use the files, I would not discount a cloud drive for added security. Obviously you have be near an internet connection that is not meetered per KB you upload and store…

    I am not a fan of DropBox or fame.io.
    But short of building your own on AWS or similar, my go to would be Google Drive – on a monthly billing cycle you can upscale to 30TB.
    But even at 5TB you are at UKP 199.99 on an annual plan + you get Google Meet to use for production meetings and review edits. Which is integrated with YouTube, so I would think that there is some serious steaming technology involved in that.
    I have the 2TB plan – with free FitBit advanced included 😓😀

    If you have producers or assistants working remotely, you can get them started with logging and selecting the juicy bits for you, whilst you are on the road.

    August 2, 2024 at 8:01 pm in reply to: Adobe Acrobat Sidebar Recent Folders

    Hey Lucas,

    Still none the wiser as to why this is important if you close down Acrobat when finished, and open it by clicking on the pdf file that you want to open?

    However, there are others with similar issues.

    As I am not interested in losing my “recent files”, this is for you to try out:
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-reader-discussions/now-remove-clear-recent-files-in-adobe-acrobat-reader-dc/m-p/11257992

    Hope that in some way this works for you?

  • Hey Philip,

    That helped – but comes without any promises.

    Try this link at NABLET:
    https://nablet.com/xavc-xdcam-ama-plugin

    If that doesn’t work, it appears that you can get an older version here:

    https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/software/00251398

    In the small print it states:

    Applicable Model

    This information is for the following models:

    This AMA plug-in provides support for XAVC and XDCAM / XDCAM EX files in Avid Media Composer, Symphony and NewsCutter products, allowing viewing and editing capability.

    Note
    Development of Sony AMA plug-in has been handed over from Sony Corporation to nablet GmbH.

    You can download the latest version from nablet’s website.

    • Version 3.51: For use with Avid Media Composer v7.0.6/v8.3.1/v8.4/8.5/8.6, and Avid NewsCutter (Windows) v11.0.4 and v11.0.4.4.
    • Version 3.32: For use with Avid Media Composer v7.0.4/v8.1/v8.2.
    • Version 2.4: Media Composer 6.5, Symphony 6.5

    Please, please do let us know it works, as there will be other AVID users looking for a solution to the same problem.

    Have fun!

  • Hey Sarah,

    Welcome back!
    Your project sounds exciting.
    I often have documentaries in and out of South Africa to work on.

    I am with Michael on this one, do not rely on old spinning drives, unless you have a near-back-up solution ready to mirror on to.

    There is some crazy offers on Scan.co.uk right now for 2TB Samsung T7
    https://www.scan.co.uk/search?q=Samsung+T7

    If you look at Amazon and others, they might have the same or better.
    One crazy issue to look out for, is that the price might be lower if you select another colour for any of the external Samsung T7 or T9 SSD drives.

    On the MacPro M1 you should be able to hang a OWC 4 port Thunderbolt (and USBC) on the back of it (or similar).
    Although the T7 is not Thunderbolt, you will still get good speed out of that.
    If you are buying SSD, the Samsung T9 is nearly double the speed of the T7.

    I’ve got both 2TB and 4TB Samsung SSD’s – just love them as a place to lay off projects, footage and other stuff to.
    I am mainly on PC, so if “forget” to eject the drive, I don’t loose the content on it.
    But with Mac FCPX, that appears still to be an issue. Don’t know with Resolve.
    Just worth keeping in mind for back-ups etc.

    Having in a previous life done a documentary edit on an old MacBook Pro 14′ screen, I can state that I will never ever do that again.
    On Davinci, if you don’t have, do use two monitors, or the MacBook pro in combination with a 27′ monitor or bigger.

    Just an opinion.
