my 2 cents…
it seems to me you’re kind of doubling up on proxies/previews here though that may be necessary depending on your system spec. you could have edited from the native footage in a 1080 sequence, but then you need a fast drive to handle the data rate of the 4K, etc etc.
one issue though is that if you’ve edited from files that are 1080 and relink to 4K then you may have to do some resizing and redo effects/nesting depending on how you’ve worked within your sequence.
i guess among other things, shooting at 4k gives you the ability to reframe and zoom in on footage to a high degree, and also future proofs you if you need to deliver 4K down the line. the 1080 delivery is fine for now but that’s not to say you may not do another version later.
if you can you should grade from the native – they have a lot more colour information in them than the proxies and what you see when grading will be exactly what you get in the end.

Ahh i didn’t know that! Many thanks for replying.

I’ve done that, you can see multicam view is selected in the screenshot. I would expect to see my two angles on the left screen which is just black, no?

Can you disconnect Drive A when you launch the cloned project? That way even if it doesn’t find it you can just relink. Failing that you could temporarily rename the folder where the rushes are stored on Drive A so premiere wont recognise it and then when it asked to relink, relink to Drive B.

save yourself some bother and get the clip remade at the correct frame rate 😉

Unfortunately not, I tried to transcode as well but had the same problem. Not ideal but in the end I took the half-completed consolidate and figured out what was missing and copied them across myself. For me it was only a handful of clips but I guess others wont be so lucky.

You don’t really have a prores timeline as you would in FCP. You should pick your timeline according to how you’re delivering (sounds like you’re delivering at 1080p) so pick an appropriate template (DSLR 1080p sounds about right for you) and drop the viewing quality down to 1/2 or 1/4, then in timeline settings you can control the quality of your previews so if you find that you struggle with the 4K material you could put the quality down here. With your spec it sounds like you should be fine.
Put your 4k material in the 1080p timeline and then right click and ‘scale to frame size’.

right click on the footage and go to modify and then interpret footage. here can you specify the frame rate you want the footage to behave at.

Did you guys definitely have ‘preserve interpreted footage settings’ selected when you relinked? If not, it will forget all the frame rate changes you’ve made and leave empty blocks of media once the clips have reverted to their original frame rates.

Ah ok, gotcha. Thanks.
