Thankyou Joe,

As it turns out when I started loading up Bridge with some Smart Collections and keywording some rushes it started to crash, and lost a bunch of keyword tags in the process.

I ended up going with MacOS’ tags, and I’m able to then search the entire computer for any combination of tags i need. So far, so good.

Thanks for your help and the links, I appreciate it!

Joe,

Do you know of a way to add multiple sources to a Smart Collection?

This would be perfect if possible. That way I could tag all of our Rushes as they come in and wherever they end up they will work in the smart collection…

Thanks Joe, I will have a read of the article 🙂

I have been curious about Bridge but haven’t as of yet had the time to sit down and learn all about it and what it does!

I don’t have an answer for you, but we also upgraded to a new Mac pro recently and although it is faster than our 5 year old mac pro, it’s not dazzlingly faster. I was rather underwhelmed with it’s performance – and experience similar issues to yours…

Well, now all hell has broken loose!

So, that Premiere specific issue is now across the board with Apples latest “Pro Apps” codec update.

Have been using the older version of IMX (as this is my broadcast codec) up until now, flawlessly with FCP.

Unfortunately, due to Adobe CC i’ve been forced to “downgrade” to OSX10.9 Mavericks, which means I have lost all 32bit finder support, which means i HAVE to use the new IMX codec to be able to play my broadcast files (that are now in the wrong aspect due to the new version of the codec)

Surely we’re not the only Australian production house having issues here???

Hmmm, still regardless of that it means i have to stop what i’m working on, open project B, send to Media Encoder, then re-open project A and continue working. Not an efficient workflow really.

It makes much more sense to me to add shift+click functionality into Media Encoder itself so i can quickly open it, render project B, all the while project A has been open and preparing my RAM preview. No dead time = a happy Matt 🙂

Hi Kevin, thanks for your reply! 🙂

I’ve had a good look but i don’t have that option, i only have “Add to Render Que” in my options.
We’re running CS6 here.

Cheers,

Matt Dean

Hi Tero,

Thanks for your reply!
I was thinking that might be the case – but really hoping for a workaround.

So, in FCP7 I can export a .MOV file using IMX625/50 at whatever frame size i specify.

Any idea why can FCP do it but not Premiere?

[Matt Dean]

I’m sorry but this isn’t good enough.
Are we expected to open System Prefs and change audio drivers every time we switch between applications because of this Premiere issue? That is not real world practical!

I have been exploring moving over to Premiere from FCP7 but this is just all too hard. I should be able to use the same piece of hardware between multiple software packages, and have been seamlessly. Up until i tried to use Adobe Premiere.

Somebody needs to fix this!

[Matt Dean]

I’m getting very similar issues, but i have to restart to restore the system audio.
