Larry-

I assumed that he only wanted the project to stop coming up in the list (duh . . . my brain now ONLY does EXACTLY what is asked) guess I should have taken it the extra step – thanks.

John-

Just delete the pproj file (it resides where ever you originally directed them.

[Walter video] “Is that capture information gone forever, or is there some way to access it?”

Easy enough to find out – give this a try. Open one in batch capture and see if time code information shows up and the tape searches. I had several jobs stop displaying tie code info in project manager but it was available in batch capture and also showed up in properties (why, I have no idea). Good luck.

Ron-

[Ron Shook] “When you manipulate the audio, are the audio waveforms redrawn to reflect this and if waveforms are part of the conforming process, does this mean that the audio must be reconformed each time or just the waveforms, and does this happen in the background?”

I don’t know what the function of the conform process is so I can’t address the why of is but as to the latter – the waveforms are NOT redrawn – so you can’t tell at a glance if you’ve filled right or adjusted gain, for example. As far as I know the conform only happens once – per project, so if you import the clip into a new project it will reconform the audio. However, I still need to render the audio (which doesn’t take TOO long) before I export to tape or else risk nastiness on the track (bleeps, blurts, blatts and blank places)so the conform must have some other function.

Does it play back incorrectly after rendering or before? You will probably need to render the segment of the track for this effect to play properly.

I don’t know if this will work or not, but it’s certainly worth a quick test – razor your title every 10 minutes or so – perhaps breaking it into smaller segments will make Premiere look at the render differently.

Larry-

I know HOW to do it, but the fact of the matter is it remains a gotcha for me because I never REMEMBER to do it that way – matchframe isn’t something I think of when see a shot and have an epiphany about there perhaps being a bit on the end I could use for some trouble spot – then when I see there is, I don’t think about where I pulled the clip from and screw myself up (I always catch it, but I lose time with it, that’s why it’s my gotcha). Maybe in a few years my old brain will catch up and “remember” things like that, assuming I’m still using Premiere then, and it still works the same – ARGGHHHHH!!! Never mind, I’ll just keep repeating T not drag, T not drag (although my coworkers will probably find ominous meanings in my muttering and scurry away when I pass them in the halls!)

Larry-

No, not exactly – but I can do it that way if that’s what works – I simply want to drag the clip up and mark new ins & outs (no matchframe or remove In/out points – it’s the extra steps that I’d like to do without).

Aanarav-

[Aanarav Sareen] “setting up an editing station is not the cheapest thing on earth.”

Not to disagree that, for many people, $3k is a huge expense – but I think you are failing to realize that it is a MICRO drop in the bucket compared to the cost of even one BetaSP deck – I think our 4 seats of Premiere, with computers and the 4TB fibrechannel SAN still cost less that we initially paid for a single channel of ADO.

For many people cost is NOT the most important factor, and no matter how appealing on the surface, sticking with an application that doesn’t meet your needs well is always more costly in the long run.

Mike-

That’s not a bad workflow IF you only have a few tapes and actually want to keep all of your selects – but if you have 60 or 70 tapes, hundreds or thousands of 1st cut selects, and end up with a 60 minute programme that only uses short snippets of each selected piece you end up needing capture room (and archiving space) for MUCH more material that you actually need to.

BTW – unlike the Media 100, you can’t batch digitize from the timeline – you need to select your “source clips” in the bin – which means you end up eating up more space than you need to even if you end up using part of most of the clips.

I think we all agree that you CAN cut longform on Premiere, David was, originally, looking for “gotchas” that would slow down his process – hard disk space is certainly one gotcha he needs to be aware of.
