Martin, have you tried this software from Sony:
https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/pdzk-lt2

I believe it is free. it contains a FCPX plugin to support Sony media.

Also, the future for Sony Content Browser is here:

It is also free for now, if you recently bought Content Browser it will be a free upgrade.

Hi,
Grazie is right on this one.
The effect is easily done on ProType Titler and cannot be done on a single Titles & Text and/or Legacy Text.

Nevertheless the effect can be accomplished using Titles & Text and Legacy Text – by adding a video track with the generated above the track you are unable to color. Each generated text should only contain text in the color you want and should have blanks where that color is not wanted.

The ProType Titler is by far the best approach.

Grazie,
you agree you can easily do this on ProType ?

just the other two? I’ll test now.

Hi,
should be easy. I just tried it with the ProType Titler but it should work with any of them. When you select enable editing and select the entire text – just click into the text and select just the parts you want to change the color on and you can pick any color you want. The key point is only select the text you need and then change the color.

You can do a whole lot more as well.

Hi,
as I recall you can get a trial for Content Browser. Just download it as if you are going to buy it and when you start it up it will ask for a licence or whether you want to trial it for a month. On the trial it is not full functionality.
I have version 2.2.1. I’m on Windows, I assume the Mac version is the same.

John,

glad that has helped!

I have CC AE 2014.0.2 – the very latest. 13.0.2.3

You can Render as well. It requires a custom pre-set.

John,

Good news – it imports just fine! I can see the woman tying to get into the premises and the car go past. I have tried a couple of grading effects and they seem to work (to me). I enabled a 3d layer, added a camera and zoomed in. It was a bit awkward animating but perhaps that is because there are so few frames.

You can export to a 4k/Mxf format. The slight problem is that there are not many explicit presets available. One you do have is for YouTube. You can also export back into XAVC. To do this you need to customize a preset in the MXF OP1a AVC-Intra group and select a “Video Coded” to change. There you can see the XAVC options.

What format are you expecting to output to?

John,
I’m at
you know where!

John,
the easiest way is to create an account here:
https://www.dropbox.com/
There you can upload clips. When you are done you can authorize me to download it (I will have to send you an email address).

The version you have should be able to load the XAVC clips; however although the new features sheet for the version before yours says it supports it the Adobe guy said it was not supported until later in 2013 (a little inconsistency). If you are a CC subscriber you can just download the 2014 AE.

John,
I found some 4K footage. I loaded the clips into: Adobe After Effects CC 2014.0.2 Release (Version 13.0.2.3) and they look and feel just like any other clip.

I did a simple effect (lens flare) and again that looked just as expected.

I didn’t try rendering out.

I can’t say whether earlier versions of AE would have worked. However in the Creative Cow forums someone from Adobe forecast an end of 2013 availability and they delivered on that.

There’s this plugin from Sony: https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/plad-rw1
I think you already have that though, in the version of PPro you were using.
