Thanks for the quick response John.

That’s what I was worried about re track by track. How do folks normally do OMF’s section by section now a days in Premiere (to get around 2gb limit), or is it just not done? That work around makes sense, but what a pain.

Regarding the missing tracks to PT, yeah there are no multicam or nested elements in the timeline. The only thing I can think of is if pluraleyes might have messed with the audio formats somehow? Much of the audio used in the edit timelines were synced with pluraleyes previously.

I had been seeing a lot online about OMF issues. Is AAF the standard now, for the most part?

Thanks again for your help.

No. Good point. Any difference between using Adobe Media Encoder and Sony Catalyst Browse?

Thank you for the quick response!

Thanks again David. I’m still retraining my brain from FCP7/Transcoding world to the Premiere world. So in this case, with a ProRes HQ timeline, would you use the raw files from the different cameras, including the h264 5d files, and not transcode?

In the past, for an FCP7 project, my workflow would be to identify what format I want for my master and final output, set up an appropriate project and timeline for those settings, and transcode the media to match those settings as well- and then begin editing.

I’m working out the similarities and differences with the FCP and Premiere workflows. Thanks for your help.

Thanks to both of you for your quick responses. I really appreciate it. David, would you then edit a project like this one in a pro res sequence/timeline? Basically look to set the sequence settings to match what I aim to export to for masters? Thanks again for your time and help.

Very strange. I just double checked the converted files from compressor and while all the settings were correct and the clips look good, they are shortened versions of the actual original clips. Some how the footage got cut down dramatically through the conversion process. I have no idea why. If anyone knows, I’d be interested to hear why. That said, for future reference, it looks like EditReady and Sony’s Catalyst Browse ultimately do the trick.

Thanks Roger.
I just did a conversion with Compressor and that worked simply enough. For some reason, I didn’t see that come up in many threads I read about this issue. Any idea why? Is there a dramatic loss in quality by using compressor to trasncode to ProRes?

Hey Shane,
Thanks for these detailed notes. I am going to try this. Another strike against FCP.
Much appreciated.

Thanks Bret.

It’s a good point. I am not sure how to get to the raw 60fps clip. I have the raw media from the SD card in the original BPAV file structure. But as far as I can tell, the raw clip is already conformed to 720p24. I could be reading the files wrong though. Any suggestions on how to confirm that? My original plan was to conform down from 60 to 30, but I am not sure how to access the original 60fps file.

Thanks for your help Bret.
