Ooops this is the thread that says no good through Premiere:

Export 7.1 audio from Premiere

[Matt Hannon]

Hey Robert,

Feel a little silly admitting it, but it was for an Adobe Flash download that also installed a Yahoo search engine redirector, Advanced Mac Cleaner and one other one I can’t remember the name of.

In my defence I was accessing my good friends website at the time and assumed it was safe and rushed it through…. but assumptions are…

I think i’ve cleaned them all out with Mac Cleaner and MalwareBytes, and the only issue now is that my mouse is a laggy… (might just need a disconnect and reconnect of bluetooth?… who knows)

Thanks for the thought..

[Matt Hannon]

OK thanks David.

I’ll definitely keep your email handy, but good to hear you think that file size of of a premiere project is not an issue, for the moment everything seems to be running fine, and like I said, I have structured the internals of the project professionally (aside from accidental duplication of some files).

My main concern, and something that i’d heard second-hand from one of Australia’s well respected finishing editors was that project files should not get too large as they become unstable and inefficient.

I am still experiencing minor issues with my system speeds outside of premiere, so I am thinking that I may still have some residual malware symptoms.

Thanks for your thoughts.

For anyone that might read this thread, here’s the most succinct explanation about why the new iMacs are causing hassles for PP users https://rnaphoto.com/how-to-color-grade-premiere-pro-projects-if-you-bought-a-new-5k-i-mac/

Get with the times Premiere!

happy to consider all options Tero, and i’m the first to admit i’m not a colorist.

Would you mind explaining to me how the calibration of my one screen is affecting all the different players/browsers/apps being viewed on it?

It seems to me that if it was just a callibration issue, then I wouldn’t be experiencing the variations across the different platforms.

[Matt Hannon]

Its got nothing to do with monitor calibration – everything is being viewed on the same monitor.

[Matt Hannon]

agreed…

It seems to have nothing to do with the monitor – otherwise why cant we effect the footage when we change the colour display of the iMac in preferences? After 1 sec the footage reverts to the same over-saturated and incorrect colour.

[Matt Hannon]

Thanks to everyone for chipping in with advice.

I have had a lucky turn in project which although now means I am going to drop a bit more work into it, it also gives me a bit more time to get the colour issue sorted.

From what I can tell (and I do not claim to be a colour expert by any means), is like Christian mentioned in an earlier post, the new iMac are using a wide gammut colour profile known as P3, and premiere does not have this colour system/profile. It seems premiere overcompensates for the wide gammut and oversaturates the footage – it also seems that VLC might read the tags on the exported footage in the same way as premiere and displays it similarly.

I tried to change the display profile on the iMac, with major shifts of colour in the footage inside premiere along with the Premiere windows themselves (black backgrounds etc) – this is to be expected. What I didnt expect was for Premiere to automatically compensate for the display change after 1 second, and revert the footage to look exactly how it was before the change. If that makes sense..

Either way, i’m confused. Maybe I shouldn’t bother with Lumetri, it feels pretty limited anyway, but I loved the idea of being able to turn around the whole project inside premiere. It seems like premiere is falling behind without the ability to manage colour systems. In FCP you can apparently.

Another interesting result was that the firefox version of my vimeo video looked much closer to the graded images inside premiere (not perfect with much higher magenta, but at least closer), which makes me think it’s all a bit pointless anyway.. ha..

Either way, i’ve completed plenty of projects in the past and never experienced an issue like this with vimeo/premiere/mac…

Thanks again

manually setting everything, and have tried all the different bit-rate/compression combos…
